C2381 The Hope of the Primal Anima

The Light Spirit, with Canli's supreme form, managed to suppress two Primal Spirits and even aided Ballo in breaking free from his bonds. Yet, this was not its true form. The might and divine power it revealed invigorated Zhong Chichen and Qi Yunhong, significantly easing Yu Yuan's burden. At this moment, it hovered above the head of the little Primal Beast, within the depths of the colorful spatial ripples, instilling fear in the hearts of the native Primal Animas from the Otherworld.

Canli stood with a grace that belied her power, her skin porcelain-white and her smile sweet yet formidable.

Boom!

Stephanie, holding the amethyst wand aloft, suddenly burst apart, a dark golden light escaping the celestial flesh that had become nothing more than a heap of remains. The wand released strands of fate, attempting to maintain control over the numerous fates swirling around it.

Stephanie, the celestial leader, could not endure such a fearsome recoil and exploded before everyone's eyes. This confirmed the Spirit of Fate's wisdom in using the little Primal Beast for its ritual, a testament to its intelligence.

The dark golden light was the spiritual sense of the Spirit of Fate that had resided within Stephanie's body, now concentrating all its power to devour the little Primal Beast with utmost speed. The little Primal Beast, with its complete life sequence, was capable of bearing both the ultimate truths of the Primal Anima gathered over the years and the backlash of wielding the divine power of destiny.

To it, Stephanie's celestial body was too fragile; unable to recover swiftly from the backlash, it would be reduced to mere shreds or even a mist of blood. The little Primal Beast, however, was different.

It was precisely because the little Primal Beast, crafted by Zhiya, could endure the backlash of fate's power after being fully refined by it.

Whoosh!

In the instant Stephanie's body exploded, Yu Yuan's Solar Spirit Body darted forth like Divine Thunder. He landed in the midst of the fate-formed terrain, seizing the amethyst wand from the Spirit of Fate. He immediately discovered Stephanie's true residual soul hidden within a secret crevice of the wand. A sphere of vital energy, brimming with the mysteries of life, flowed into the wand, enveloping Stephanie's residual soul.

"Don't let him succeed!"

Stephanie's residual soul shrieked within the wand.

Wrapped in Yu Yuan's life essence, the patriarch of the Otherworld's Heavenly Race swiftly appeared at the tip of the wand, staring down the swirling fates and commanded, "Shatter!"

Intricate and arcane patterns within the amethyst wand glowed, intertwining with the Whirlpools of Fate.

In an instant, the Whirlpools of Fate, with the power to defy destiny, vanished into oblivion.

Stephanie, now seemingly the artifact soul of the amethyst wand, urgently warned Yu Yuan, "Beware of the Primal Soul! It has battled the Spirit of Fate and is incredibly fearsome! Moreover, it must be close by!"

Upon hearing this, the supreme beings who understood the dread of the Primal Soul turned somber.

"The Primal Soul of the Abyss is nearby?" Zhong Chichen scanned his surroundings, sensing spies at every turn, and exclaimed, "Yu Yuan, search quickly!"

At that moment, Yu Yuan's gaze shifted to Yuan Lianyao amidst the inferno. He sensed something peculiar.

The fiery tears that had been streaming from Yuan Lianyao's eyes ceased.

Surrounded by flames, she slowly closed her eyes, perhaps to trap the blazing fire within.

The raging flames poured into her alluring form from the outside and then wafted from her being, giving life to what seemed like Flame Spirits.

It appeared as though countless Flame Spirits were gracefully dancing around her.

Her eyes snapped open once more.

Deep within her gaze, Yu Yuan spotted a massive orb of fire sinking into her fiery brain, swiftly refined by her divine might.

The corpulent image of the blazing fire within the orb turned to smoke as it descended into the fiery depths.

The blazing fire met its end!

Among these exalted beings, Yuan Lianyao was the first to dissolve the Primal Anima.

Moreover, the blazing fire was truly extinguished, for Yuan Lianyao's method of Soul Sacrifice was not the same as that disseminated by the Spirit of Fate through Stephanie.

Having betrayed the Everlands and the Primal Soul of the Abyss, and having recently defected during a battle, the Blazing Fire that had stealthily lurked beside the Primal Soul of the Abyss was now utterly eradicated.

The moment the orb of fire descended, the spiritual sense of the Blazing Fire, the ultimate truth of the rule, and the pure energy of flame all flowed into Yuan Lianyao's grasp!

Elsewhere, in the depths of the endless void.

The Soul Altar, towering like a grand Holy Mountain above Yu Yuan's head, quivered slightly. Suddenly, the exquisite Way of Heaven, akin to a torrential rain of fire, seamlessly integrated into the Soul Altar.

Yet, what confounded Yu Yuan was that his ninth-level Soulstone Pedestal seemed to have reaped the benefits as well!

And the benefits were substantial!

The Primal Soul of the Abyss, which had remained unseen, was illuminated by the green divine light, endowing the supreme beings with vast and pure Soul Power, aiding them in their struggle against the Primal Anima within.

Yuan Lianyao's precedence in success was likely due to her intense loathing for the Blazing Fire!

The demise of the Blazing Fire and the dissolution of its spiritual sense had also granted her a more profound foundation!

"Hehe!"

Loong Jie, with a sinuous twist of his body, emitted a tangible golden divine light from his golden dragon scales.

Crack! Crack!

The miniature golden dragon, born of his lifeblood and Dragon Soul, was gnawing on the fragments of the Gold Mountain nestled within his heart.

It resembled a Primal Beast feasting on the celestial rare treasures of various stars.

Loong Jie, amidst his ferocious roars, would occasionally emit a satisfied "hehe" chuckle. With the aid of the Soul Altar, his surge in Divine Power and Soul Power enabled him to engulf the Primal Anima, rooted in the Gold Mountain, into his being!

Simultaneously.

Numerous intricate golden patterns emerged on the gold surface of Yu Yuan's Soul Altar, writhing like living lightning, spawning an abundance of Cosmic Order.

As Loong Jie vanquished the Path of Metal governed by the Golden Spirit of the Domain of Origin, it resonated with the surface of the Gold Mountain.

Similarly, Yu Yuan acutely sensed that the ninth level of his Soul Altar had become even more robust and sturdy!

As Loong Jie assimilated the Golden Spirit, the Primal Soul in the Abyss also reaped considerable benefits from the absorption of the Golden Spirit's spiritual sense, metal magic, and golden energy!

Subsequently, when Green Willow overpowered and devoured the Water Primal Anima, the same phenomenon occurred once more.

Yu Yuan's Soul Altar had been graced with the essence of Water Primal Anima, yet the ninth level of his Soulstone Pedestal seemed to have acquired an even deeper connection to the water's mystical spirit. This unnerved Yu Yuan, as he couldn't shake the feeling that the Primal Soul was lurking in the shadows, observing his every move.

Upon his arrival in the Domain of Origin, he was certain the Primal Soul of the Abyss was present. Despite his exhaustive searches, the Primal Soul remained elusive.

"Little Primal Beast."

Canli, momentarily possessed by the Light Spirit, emitted a peculiar growl, her eyes betraying a sudden greed.

"Light Spirit!"

Zhong Chichen, who had always spoken highly of her, sensed danger. He exclaimed, "Yu Yuan! He's attempting to seize the little Primal Beast's body, just like the Spirit of Fate!"

Clutching the amethyst wand, Yu Yuan intended to consult Stephanie about their previous encounter. At the mention of her name, he turned his gaze sharply towards Canli.

In that instant, Canli's eyes reflected nothing and no one else—not even Yu Yuan.

Having mastered the ultimate truths of the Sun, Moon, and Star Primal Anima through Yu Yuan, Canli's combat prowess had soared above all other Primal Animas, thanks to the synergy of their attributes.

Informed of the little Primal Beast's wonders by the Spirit of Fate, she had formulated her own plans. If Yu Yuan could house the vast spectrum of Primal Anima within his vibrant five-colored body and his own Soul Altar, why couldn't she?

To Canli, her Dawnbringers' form paled in comparison to that of Stephanie, the celestial leader. Stephanie had perished, consumed by the backlash of her reckless use of the Divine Power of Fate.

Canli pondered, if she were to truly assimilate the stars and the Moonborn Spirit, would she not suffer the same fate as Stephanie, given her current strength?

"If this soul perishes, another remains at the Peak of Creation! I must take this chance!"

With this resolve, she lunged at the little Primal Beast, shrouded in a golden cape, ready to vie with the Spirit of Fate for sustenance.

"Yu Yuan, you possess a body that can merge with numerous Primal Animas, but I do not!"

Before falling into the golden cape, he called out to Yu Yuan.

"I now vow that once I possess the body of this little Primal Beast, I will form an eternal alliance with you! Whether your next adversary is the Primal Soul from the Abyss or the Spirit of Creation from the Origin, I stand with you!" His solemn oath echoed across the Astral Plane of Yu Yuan's Soul Altar.

Upon hearing this voice, Zhiya's eyes widened in rage. "The little Primal Beast that I have nurtured is meant to be my body! The Spirit of Fate, the Light Spirit, they all covet my body!"

The cries of the Dark Phoenix Zhiya reverberated through heaven and earth.

Alas, in the boundless void, no one but Yu Yuan could hear her.

In this void, devoid of the Way of Heaven's rule, she was unable to utilize Void Travel. No matter how desperate she was, she couldn't arrive in time.

"What are you waiting for? Are you just going to stand by and watch these cold creatures devour my body? The beast soul of the little Primal Beast is another version of me!" Zhiya finally glared at Yu Yuan, unleashing all her bitterness and dissatisfaction upon him.

Yu Yuan remained indifferent, stating, "You are still alive."

"If that little Primal Beast dies, my future dies with it," Zhiya declared.

"If it's gone, it's gone. What concern is that of mine?" Yu Yuan dismissed her concerns.

Whoosh!

Canli surged into the golden cape, wrestling the little Primal Beast away from the Spirit of Fate, striving to claim it as her own Primal Anima.

The persistent Soul Voice of the Spirit of Fate reached out, urging Yu Yuan to join forces with it to vanquish the Spirit of Fate.

She was well aware that Yu Yuan would find a way to eradicate the meddling Spirit of Fate regardless.

Her plan was to remain within the little Primal Beast's body, poised to strike as soon as the Spirit of Fate was no more.
