Chapter 87 The Daoist Ming He River Styx
In the outer heavens, dozens of quasi-saints simultaneously erupted, fiercely attacking the ferocious beast opposite them. Their immense power shook the heavens and earth, causing the chaotic energy to surge, the sun, moon, and stars to tremble, and the Heavenly Court to shake.
"Insolence!"
On the Sun Star, Donghuang Taiyi, who was in seclusion healing his injuries, was awakened by that overwhelming aura and couldn't help but open his eyes.
Instantly, time and space froze, all sound ceased, the Heavenly Court stopped shaking, the sun, moon, and stars stopped trembling, the chaotic energy returned to calm, and the surging overwhelming aura vanished without a trace.
"Hiss! This Taiyi… is even stronger!" In the outer heavens, noticing the changes below, many powerful beings were deeply shocked by the strength Taiyi had displayed.
The demon race was naturally excited, their faces showing joy. The stronger Taiyi was, the stronger the demon race became—how could they not be happy!
The Wu Clan members looked extremely grim. Each advancement Taiyi made further amplified the power of the Chaos Bell, posing a significant threat to the Wu Clan.
The other powerful figures had differing thoughts. Some saw hope for a breakthrough in Taiyi and were overjoyed; others frowned at the growing strength of the Demon Clan…
"Taiyi truly lives up to his reputation as the former number one expert of the Primordial World! He has actually taken another step forward, reaching the Great Perfection of the Quasi-Saint realm, thanks to his encounter with the Chaos Demon God!" Nuwa exclaimed in the Nuwa Palace.
It should be noted that before becoming a Saint, he was only at the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint!
"Haha, my path is complete!" The Styx Daoist laughed triumphantly, summoning the Yuan Tu and A Bi innate killing swords. A chilling killing intent suddenly flew out, slaying a ferocious beast.
"Has this Styx Daoist gone mad?" The powerful figures felt disgusted by Styx's inexplicable laughter.
The Styx Daoist was a primordial deity born from the Netherworld Blood Sea. At his birth, he stood on a twelve-petaled karmic fire lotus and held the Yuan Tu and Abi swords. All three were top-grade primordial spiritual treasures.
The twelve-petaled karmic fire lotus was formed from the lotus seed of the Creation Green Lotus. The Yuan Tu and Abi swords were manifestations of the killing principles of heaven and earth, killing without incurring karma, truly supreme weapons of slaughter.
With three top-grade primordial spiritual treasures as his companions, it can be said that in the entire prehistoric world, apart from Donghuang Taiyi, who was born with the Chaos Bell, no one could compare to the Styx Daoist, not even the Three Pure Ones.
Logically speaking, the Styx Daoist, born with great fortune and being a top-tier supernatural being in the prehistoric world, should have been a guest of honor among many powerful beings.
Unfortunately, the Netherworld Blood Sea was formed from the belly of Pangu, filled with rolling blood waves, devoid of fish, shrimp, birds, and insects. All the malevolent energy of heaven and earth gathered here, along with countless remnants of spirits, making it a truly defiled place in the world.
Born within this world, the Styx Daoist, with his reclusive nature and extreme bloodlust, naturally incurred the displeasure of many powerful beings. Consequently, he had no friends in the primordial world and was subtly ostracized by the mainstream.
"Hmph!" Noticing the disgust on everyone's faces, the Styx Daoist coldly snorted, flicked his sleeve, and withdrew the Chaos Origin. His figure flashed, returning to the Blood Sea.
Seeing the Styx Daoist leave, everyone's brows twitched, sensing something significant was about to happen, and they hurriedly followed, returning to the primordial world.
Deep within the Blood Sea, the Styx Daoist stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the Chaos Origin floating in the air, unable to conceal his excitement.
"Haha! With this, today is the day I, Styx, will prove my Dao!" His excitement caused a frenzied expression on his face.
He rapidly formed hand seals, causing the Blood Sea to churn endlessly, and boundless bloodthirsty energy gathered, surging into the Chaos Origin. In a short while, the Chaos Origin's appearance drastically changed, transforming into a blood-red placenta.
"Good! Give it to me!" The changes in the Chaos Origin greatly boosted the Styx Daoist's confidence. In his extreme excitement, a flush even appeared on his face.
With that, the Styx Daoist suddenly raised his right hand and grabbed fiercely at the sea of blood. With this grab, the sea of blood boiled, the sky trembled, the void twisted, and large swathes of space collapsed.
Amidst the wailing sounds, the remnant spirits wandering in the sea of blood seemed to be summoned. Under Styx's grasp, they surged towards the crimson placenta, giving it life and causing it to throb continuously.
"Haha! Although I am not proficient in the Dao of Creation, with this Chaos Origin, my shortcomings can be made up for, thus replacing the existence of the Dao of Creation!" The birth of life on the crimson placenta brought a look of satisfaction to Styx Daoist.
It turned out that seeing Nuwa create humans and become a saint, Styx Daoist had the same thought in his mind. He, Nuwa, was only in the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, yet he was able to become a saint through the merit of creating humans.
He Styx Daoist, a dignified late-stage Quasi-Saint, if he could create a race even more powerful than humans, he might not be unable to become a saint through it.
However, when it came to killing, Styx Daoist wielded the Dao of Slaughter, and no one in the prehistoric world could surpass him.
But to create a new race, one needed to be extremely proficient in the Dao of Creation, which was completely out of his league. Thus, he was somewhat at a loss.
Therefore, although Styx had ideas in his heart, he had never put them into action because the Way of Slaughter and the Way of Creation were incompatible.
However, the appearance of the ferocious beasts gave him renewed hope.
Those ferocious beasts were created by the Chaos Demon God using the Chaos Origin, and the Chaos Origin is the source of heaven and earth, the foundation of all things, which can completely replace the Way of Creation, and even do better.
"Haha! With the Chaos Origin as the placenta, the blood and evil energy as the body, and the remnants of the souls of all living beings as the true spirit, the race I create will surely be incomparably powerful, a primordial race!
"While the human race created by Nuwa is inherently weak, its nature acquired, no longer possessing the name of primordial, how can it compare to the primordial race I create!
"Nuwa could become a saint with an acquired race, and I can too with a primordial race I create!
"When this new primordial race is born, that will be the time for me to prove myself and become a saint! Haha!" Amidst the roar of laughter, the Styx Daoist's expression grew increasingly frenzied.
With a gentle step, the Twelfth-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus appeared, taking root in the Netherworld Blood Sea, supporting the blood-red placenta.
Suddenly, a flash of red light appeared, and the Karmic Fire Red Lotus became even more alluring. Its roots swayed, continuously drawing upon the essence of the Blood Sea and pouring it into the blood-red placenta, accelerating its growth.
Buzzing!
Under the infusion of the Blood Sea's essence, the blood-red placenta trembled wildly, the light of creation flowing ceaselessly. A blurry figure could be seen gradually taking shape within, radiating a rich vitality.
At this moment, the Styx Daoist calmed down, the frenzy in his eyes vanishing, replaced by a solemn expression.
"Only one last step remains before this race can truly be born!" "The Styx Daoist's eyes gleamed with a strange light. As he spoke, he suddenly pounded his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence onto the crimson placenta.
This final step was to imprint the primordial mark upon the newborn race, granting it the recognition of the primordial world.
