Chapter 238: Origin Lost, Unable to Suppress

"Have you already lost your self?"

Tian Yuan looked at the massive divine bird spreading its wings and flying before him, his brows furrowed deeply.

Aside from the initial burst of flames, Yuanfeng only relied on her beak and sharp claws to attack, without any defense whatsoever.

The colossal figure blotted out the sky and sun, completely shrouding Tian Yuan's field of vision.

In the Primordial World, the stronger a living being's strength, the larger its true form; this Yuanfeng's body was abnormally exaggerated.

Tian Yuan had seen quite a few Innate Sacred in the Primordial World, but they simply could not compare to the Yuanfeng before him.

Even Di Jun, who stood above, did not have a true form even one-hundredth the size of Yuanfeng's.

Because of the erosion of Chaos Energy, not only was her mind lost, but her body was also affected?

At this moment, Yuanfeng only had instinctual attacks left, and within those constant cries, she was also enduring inexplicable pain.

It would not be difficult to suppress the crazed Yuanfeng, but Tian Yuan wanted to figure out what had happened to her.

Why did Yuanfeng's true form appear in the Consciousness Space, and why had it become like this?

Was it his own doing, or was she plotted against by someone?

With a punch, he repelled the sharp claws swiping down from the air, and Tian Yuan escaped toward the depths below.

The air before him was mottled with energy of many colors, but beneath Yuanfeng's massive body, there was still a patch of gray, churning Chaos.

The space beneath the Undying Volcano was like a giant sandwich, with the crazed, irritable Yuanfeng caught in the middle.

He had come down from the Undying Volcano, and since he had not discovered the situation above, the problem was highly likely to be down here.

Facing Tian Yuan's departure, Yuanfeng cried out loudly, pursuing him relentlessly.

Yuanfeng's speed was not slow, but with Tian Yuan's intent, he felt a layer of faint will in the blink of an eye.

It was the same Heaven and Earth Will as above, only compared to that layer, this one was already riddled with holes, with rolling Chaos Energy pouring into it.

Just as he had guessed earlier, Yuanfeng was also suppressing the Chaos's invasion of the Primordial World, but why had the Heaven and Earth Will here been destroyed by someone? With a faint will rising from his body, Tian Yuan passed through it easily.

The crazed Yuanfeng, who had been pursuing him, had just approached when a surge of Mysterious Yellow Qi rose from the transparent will, easily holding Yuanfeng back.

She was repelled by the rebound of the Heaven and Earth Will, her eyes slightly dazed, and then she hovered in the air, constantly spreading her wings and crying out.

Tian Yuan was clearly not far away, yet it was as if she did not see him; Yuanfeng had returned to the state she was in when they first met.

Tian Yuan, who was already in the Chaos, was not surprised, sensing the flow of energy around him in detail.

Above Yuanfeng, Di Jun and Wangshu, who saw Tian Yuan disappear, both had a flash of suspicion on their faces.

"Brother Tian Yuan seems to have escaped into the space below." Yuanfeng's body was too massive, and she had not seen the specifics.

Tian Yuan, who had been fighting with Yuanfeng, had suddenly flashed and disappeared below.

As she spoke, Wangshu turned her head to look at Di Jun beside her.

They had followed him down not only to see Tian Yuan's methods but also to explore the secrets of this space.

Now that Tian Yuan had escaped into the space below, that must be the key to the problem.

"Let's go! Let's go down and see!" Di Jun spoke the thought in Wangshu's heart.

By seeing a spot, one can know the whole; this place was so strange that perhaps they could use this to gain insight into the great secret of the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space.

As for the violent, crazed Yuanfeng before them, if Tian Yuan could resist her, he, Di Jun, was likewise fearless.

After speaking, Di Jun leaped and dashed toward the depths below.

But before he could fall into the churning, mixed Chaos, a Mysterious Yellow light emerged in the void, holding him back.

?

Di Jun looked at the rolling Mysterious Yellow Qi before him, his expression slightly surprised.

Wangshu, who was following closely behind, had an awkward expression and said softly, "It's the Heaven and Earth Will!"

As fellow Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals, Di Jun naturally also understood that the Heaven and Earth Will was blocking Yuanfeng.

It was precisely because of this layer of will that the violent energy on Yuanfeng did not strike the Southern Land.

After only a brief moment of surprise, he mobilized the Sun Star Will he governed, shrouding himself and Wangshu together.

Unfortunately, as soon as the two approached, that Mysterious Yellow Qi surged again, blocking them firmly.

Looking at the thick Mysterious Yellow Qi before him, Di Jun cursed inwardly: "Damn it!"

With his strength, he could certainly break through this layer of Heaven and Earth Will, but the consequences were not something he could bear.

"We had better wait here!" Di Jun's Sun Star Will was ineffective; they clearly could not keep up with Tian Yuan's pace.

With the Heaven and Earth Will blocking them, they could only wait here in vain.

Di Jun did not speak again, but he felt incomparably depressed in his heart.

He had originally wanted to test the power of Yuanfeng's flames, but he had not expected that he would have no opportunity at all.

Annoyed, he could only stand in the field, his gaze occasionally scanning the deepest part, but unfortunately, he could see nothing.

Without Tian Yuan's figure, Yuanfeng continued to roar, her pair of wings flapping repeatedly.

He could clearly feel a continuous stream of mixed energy leaking out from the Heaven and Earth Will before him, surging toward the Undying Volcano above.

Unable to catch up with Tian Yuan, the two could only observe Yuanfeng in the field.

And at this moment, in the Chaos beneath Yuanfeng, Tian Yuan's brows were locked tight.

In this short time, he had already roughly figured out the situation in the Southern Land.

The outermost Heaven and Earth Will had been destroyed, causing Yuanfeng to be eroded by Chaos, and the Chaos then used Yuanfeng's body to create the surging energy in the Undying Volcano.

Given Yuanfeng's current situation, it was clear that the erosion had not been for a short time; who exactly had destroyed those Heaven and Earth Wills?

With a grim face, Tian Yuan looked up at the massive divine bird above his head, hoping that she would know something after regaining her senses.

With many thoughts turning in his mind, Tian Yuan saw a thick will rise from his body, and they converged toward this piece of Heaven and Earth Will. As the two wills collided, they slowly merged at the intersection, beginning to repair the damaged Heaven and Earth Will.

By blocking the erosion of Chaos Energy here, and with the Fusang Wood absorbing energy continuously at the top, only then could the energy within Yuanfeng's body be rapidly reduced.

Only after that irritable energy subsided would there be a possibility for her to regain consciousness.

It is just that the space before him is not small, and the Heaven and Earth Will is not simple energy; to repair all the space is absolutely a massive project.

After pondering for a while, Tian Yuan had a plan.

Whether it be Zulong or Yuanfeng, their ability to suppress the erosion of the Primordial World by Chaos is related to their origins.

It was the mutual blending and infection of the Four Primordial Elements—Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire—that gave birth to Yuanfeng, Shiqilin, and Zulong.

They did not evolve from the post-celestial Five Elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which is why they could resist the erosion of Chaos and the fundamental reason they are called Chaos Divine Beasts.

Tian Yuan thought of the information he had learned earlier from Nuwa regarding the final situation of Yuanfeng during the Great Calamity.

During the late period of the Great Calamity, she had once encountered Yuanfeng, who was severely injured and wishing to return to the Undying Volcano. But halfway there, Five Elements Spiritual Qi entered her body, and amidst the intercourse of their origins, Yuanfeng gave birth to a bird egg.

After the bird egg cracked open, a peacock was born, its Five Elements brilliance illuminating a radius of ten thousand miles; this was precisely Kongxuan, who would shine brilliantly in the Investiture of the Gods.

Because she was surrounded by powerful enemies, Yuanfeng was unable to protect her young son Kongxuan, and at Luo Feng Slope, she wept blood and wailed; in a fit of extreme grief and agitation, she spat out a mouthful of Origin Blood Essence, which was then swallowed by a large eagle flying past.

The large eagle refined that mouthful of Origin Blood Essence, its cultivation base surged, and it was surely the Golden-Winged Peng of the future.

With her origin completely lost, Yuanfeng could only entrust Kongxuan to Nuwa in the end.

Seeing that Kongxuan was extraordinary, Nuwa did not refuse, and today the other party is still cultivating in Wa Palace.

And at the beginning of the Dragon-Han Calamity, when Yuanfeng derived the Phoenix Clan to command the flying birds, Heaven and Earth felt it and sent down Yin-Yang Extreme Qi into Yuanfeng's body; amidst their intercourse, she gave birth to a phoenix egg.

This egg could turn into a Peng when it entered the Nine Heavens' celestial yang realm, and could turn into a Kun when it entered the Nine Netherworlds' terrestrial yin place.

With nine cries, it broke out of the shell; this was the Demon Master of the Demon Court, Kunpeng of Beiming.

The Kunpeng of the Nine Heavens fed on dragons and was a great weapon against the Dragon Clan, but later, under Mount Buzhou, it suffered a strike from Taiyi's Chaos Bell and fled to Beiming to heal its wounds, only then escaping the Heavenly Tribulation.

Both Kunpeng and Kongxuan were not ordinary, and Yuanfeng repeatedly lost her origin; this is perhaps the fundamental reason why she was eroded by Chaos.

Compared to the descendants of the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan, the descendants of Yuanfeng truly shone brilliantly.

To make the current Yuanfeng regain her clarity, besides reducing the Chaos Energy within her body, there is another method: restoring the power of her origin.

For ordinary living beings, how difficult it is to recover when their origin is injured, but Tian Yuan is different.

The origin is, in the final analysis, the Law, and the Law manifested in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space is the best energy for repair.

If she were a true Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, it might be somewhat troublesome, but Yuanfeng only borrowed the power of Chaos to have this level of strength, so this is much easier to handle.

The manifested fire stone man happened to be in the Consciousness Space, so Tian Yuan let it come over to try and see if it would work.

A thousand miles away from the Undying Volcano, Baize and the others all stopped in the air, looking at the pitch-black sacred mountain in the distance.

Although the flames on the Southern Land were gradually receding, there were still many black flames rising on the Undying Volcano at the center.

They burned fiercely, releasing a scorching temperature, and the group still could not get close.

"What exactly is this black flame? Its power is not the slightest bit inferior to the Sun True Fire."

"Where is Father? Why can't we see Father's figure?"

"That mountain is pitch-black; we can't see anything clearly."

The ten Little Golden Crows craned their necks to look, but they never saw the figure of Di Jun.

And on the Undying Volcano in the distance, there were no more fluctuations coming, let alone any fighting.

Baize and the others on the side did not speak, also carefully examining the Undying Volcano in the distance.

In the mountain body shrouded by the raging fire, the group could clearly feel the terrifying energy.

As soon as their Divine Sense approached, there was a feeling of scorching heat and stinging pain, and they were unable to know the situation inside the mountain.

Just as everyone was confused and anxious, fluctuations came from the air behind them.

Baize, Changxi, and the others who discovered it first immediately looked over, only to see a stone man covered in burning flames crossing the void from the distant sky.

"Tian Yuan?" Upon first catching sight of the figure, Changxi was stunned for a moment.

However, after looking for just two more moments, Changxi understood that the other party was not Tian Yuan.

Although the form was the same, the aura and everything else were completely different. Most importantly, the faint fluctuations coming from it showed this stone man was only at the Hunyuan Golden Immortal stage, far below Tian Yuan.

Changxi's words made the rest of the group also see the fiery red figure behind them.

Seeing that figure in the distance, the group did not speak, only wearing grim expressions.

Having been in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space for quite some time, they all knew there were many powerful stone men here, and the one before them was one of them.

The stone man that had escaped through the air did not pay them any mind and plunged headlong into the Undying Volcano.

Seeing the figure disappear into the raging black flames, everyone on the scene was stunned, especially Baize and the others who were also Hunyuan Golden Immortals.

"How is this stone man not afraid of those flames?" Xihe asked the doubt in her heart.

As for those black flames in the distance, let alone getting close, whenever the thought crossed her mind, her Primordial Spirit would throb, sending her an extremely dangerous premonition.

That flame stone man was also a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, yet it actually dove straight inside.

"Perhaps it has to do with Tian Yuan," Baize was also unsure and could only reply as such.

These stone men had an inexplicable relationship with Tian Yuan and likewise could not be judged by common sense.

No one spoke again, only watching the distance.

The ten Little Golden Crows, however, had dark faces, their eyes filled with anxiety.

Not seeing their father's figure, and now with a stone man suddenly running over, they were somewhat worried.

The flames on the Southern Land had already disappeared a lot, but their father had still not appeared; perhaps the situation was different from what they had guessed earlier.
