Primordial Harem System
Chapter Summary
Shen Yuan reappeared high above the Lava Wyrm, his crimson blade gleaming with radiant light and crackling thunder. Shen Yuan's eyes flashed as his Void Steps activated reflexively, his figure flickering just as the tail approached. He reappeared several meters away, but the Lava Wyrm twisted its massive body mid-air, its tail changing trajectory with uncanny precision.
Shen Yuan reappeared high above the Lava Wyrm, his crimson blade gleaming with radiant light and crackling thunder.
He prepared to strike down when a sudden change in the beast's movement caught his eye.
The Lava Wyrm's massive tail whipped upward with blinding speed, a molten blur that closed the distance in an instant.
Shen Yuan's eyes flashed as his Void Steps activated reflexively, his figure flickering just as the tail approached.
He reappeared several meters away, but the Lava Wyrm twisted its massive body mid-air, its tail changing trajectory with uncanny precision.
BOOM!
The tail slammed into the ground where Shen Yuan had just materialized, the resulting shockwave and debris engulfing him.
The force sent him flying through the air like a meteor, his body colliding with the cavern wall.
The impact shattered the wall, creating a deep crater as the ground beneath them trembled.
"Brother Yuan!
" Wan Ling screamed, her voice filled with panic as she watched him disappear into the debris cloud.
Han Qingyu's knuckles whitened as she gripped her spear tightly.
Her silver eyes filled with worry, but she masked her worry behind a calm façade.
"He'll be fine," she muttered, though her own voice wavered slightly.
From the debris, a faint glow emerged.
Shen Yuan stepped out of the crater, dusting himself off with a calm face.
His robe was torn in several places, revealing faint burn marks and scratches, but his posture remained straight as a spear.
He rolled his shoulder, cracking his neck as if testing his body.
"So, it's like that, huh?
" he murmured, his eyes gleaming with understanding.
Wan Ling exhaled in relief, her hands clutching her chest.
"He's okay…"Han Qingyu crossed her arms, hiding her own relief.
"What's he muttering about now?
"Shen Yuan's gaze locked onto the Lava Wyrm, which was coiled tightly, its glowing eyes watching him with eerie intelligence.
"It's not just a brute," he muttered to himself.
"It has spatial awareness… it can sense where I'll appear.
"The beast let out another ear-shattering roar, its molten scales shimmering with heat as the lava around it churned violently.
Shen Yuan's lips curled into a slight smirk.
"Good, finally a worthy opponent, our bat—"[Just fight, why are you using your past life's lines here.
]'Fuck you, let me act cool for a second.
' Shen Yuan shook his head with a slight chuckle as his Qi surged, the air around him distorting as four elements—fire, thunder, light, and space—intertwined chaotically.
Sparks crackled and flames roared as his blade glowed ominously.
"You have played enough," Shen Yuan said, raising Crimson Devourer high above his head.
"Now, it's my turn.
"The Lava Wyrm lunged forward, its molten jaws opening wide to engulf him in a sea of flames.
Shen Yuan activated Void Steps, his figure flickering like a mirage.
He appeared to the left of the beast, then above it, then directly in front—each movement faster than the last, leaving afterimages in his wake.
The Lava Wyrm snapped its jaws, its tail lashing out with devastating speed, but Shen Yuan was already gone, his movements a blur of chaotic precision.
He darted closer to the wyrm's massive body, his sharp eyes zeroing in on a particular scale near the creature's chest.
Unlike the others, this one pulsed faintly, its glow slightly dimmer—the reverse scale.
"Found it," Shen Yuan muttered, his grip tightening on Crimson Devourer.
The Lava Wyrm roared, sensing his impending doom.
It lashed out with everything it had, claws raking the air, molten fire spewing like a tidal wave, and its massive tail sweeping toward him in a deadly arc.
Shen Yuan's form flickered one last time as he vanished completely.
He reappeared directly in front of the wyrm's chest, his blade raised high and crackling with unrestrained energy.
His voice rang out, calm yet thunderous.
"Heaven and Earth Severance—Second Form: Ocean Splitting!
"Crimson Devourer descended with a cataclysmic force, the blade's radiant energy erupting into a colossal arc that seemed to tear through space itself.
The strike hit the targeted scale, the wyrm's molten armor shattering as the energy surged into its core.
BOOOOOM!
The chamber shook violently as the Lava Wyrm let out a final, deafening roar of agony.
Its massive body convulsed, the light in its molten veins dimming rapidly as the force of the attack overwhelmed it.
The wyrm collapsed, its molten form falling and cracking as the life drained from its massive body.
The once-overbearing heat in the chamber subsided, replaced by an eerie stillness.
Shen Yuan landed like an Immortal descending on the mortal world, his blade still glowing faintly as he sheathed it.
He exhaled, his breath steady despite the intensity of the battle.
[You really had to scream that name?
I really cringed hard hearing that.
]'You don't know, I finally understand why all those characters used to scream the attack names, the fight would be boring without all this, there is a different kind of excitement by doing this.
' Shen Yuan replied with an excited smile.
[Yeah yeah, I can see how excited you are from your recent battle.
]Wan Ling and Han Qingyu rushed toward him, their expressions a mix of awe and concern.
"Brother Yuan, are you okay?
" Wan Ling asked, her eyes scanning him for injuries.
Shen Yuan smiled faintly, patting her head reassuringly.
"Just a few scratches.
Nothing worth worrying about.
"Han Qingyu looked at him worriedly, but couldn't bring herself to interrupt Wan Ling and Shen Yuan's romantic moment.
Shen Yuan looked at Han Qingyu fidgeting alone at the back.
He smiled slightly and walked towards her.
Han Qingyu looked at him approaching her as she finally exhaled a sigh and said, "You call that 'nothing'?
You were slammed into a wall by a Beast Lord.
"Shen Yuan patted her head softly while chuckling.
"And yet, here I stand.
"He turned back to the corpse of the Lava Wyrm floating on top of the lava.
'Hmm, can it be used for something?
'[Yes, there are quite a lot of ways since it also has the core of someone at the Beast Lord realm, but I would suggest you feed this beast to Xueyan, her cultivation will soar with the help of it.
]'Hmm…that's also good, I don't have any need for the core or other body part of it now anyways.
' Shen Yuan nodded his head and walked towards the beast.
Wan Ling and Han Qingyu looked at him in confusion, wondering what he wanted to do.
He reached in front of the face of the beast before slowly placing his palm on top of its head, 'Send it in my beast companion space with Xueyan, let her have this feast.
'[Gotcha.
]The massive body of the beast vanished in front of the group's eyes as they stared in silence.
"Br-brother Yuan, did you store that beast in your storage ring?
How high is the grade of your storage ring anyways?
It seemed never-ending," Han Qingyu said in astonishment.
Wan Ling nodded along with Han Qingyu's words as she was wondering the same.
Shen Yuan smiled and turned back to the group, "Haha, I have a special storage artifact, it has quite the large space for storing stuff, you guys don't need to worry about it.
"
