Chapter 89 Asura
If the Styx Daoist can use this merit to step into the realm of saints, wouldn't that mean this path is feasible, and they too can enter the realm of saints through this?
Although the Creation Clan faces some difficulties, with the Chaos Origin present, there's no reason why they can't do what the Styx Daoist can.
"The heavens bestow merit, indicating that this matter has been approved by the Heavenly Dao, and is in accordance with the will of Heaven. We, the humble Daoists, cannot appear in the world to obstruct it, otherwise we will surely be punished by Heaven.
"Now, let's see if the Styx, without the Primordial Purple Qi, can use this to prove his Dao, thus opening up another path for us, the humble Daoist and others!"
Above the Netherworld Blood Sea, countless powerful beings gathered, exchanging ideas and awaiting the outcome of this matter.
The first newly created being was surrounded by a dense killing intent, as if it wanted to kill all things, its eyes filled with arrogance.
"Your son greets the Ancestor, kowtows to thank the Ancestor for the grace of creation, and begs the Ancestor to bestow a name upon your son!" Upon seeing Daoist Styx, the killing intent surrounding this being vanished, the arrogance in its eyes disappeared, and filled with gratitude, it immediately bowed to Him.
"Good! Good child! The matter of naming is not urgent. You may step back now, and I will bestow names upon your younger siblings as well!" Daoist Styx glanced at him, quite satisfied.
This being, born on the first day of life, possessed the cultivation of a Taiyi Golden Immortal and was born with a Daoist body, a true innate divine being. Aside from its ugly appearance, it was perfect in every way.
Nurtured by the primordial chaos, its body formed from blood and evil energy, its spirit from the remnants of all living beings, it also received the primordial blood of the Blood Sea, Daoist Styx's essence blood, and the entire primordial essence of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
All these were treasures rarely found in the world; a race born from such creation, with its innate potential, how could it not be strong!
Moreover, the feeling of blood ties stirred a slight ripple in Daoist Styx's aloof heart, and a warm smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
"Hmm!" " That newborn being was actually born from a primordial god-demon, and even among primordial god-demons, it belongs to the upper class. This race created by the Styx River is no ordinary race!"
"If the descendants born later are also born from primordial gods-demons, given time, even if they don't grow into the power of the Witch and Demon races, they'll still be enough to give those two races a headache!"
"Then, there will be a good show to watch!"
The many powerful beings who were watching this place closely pointed and whispered about the being created by the Styx River, imagining the future scene, and couldn't help but gloat.
"Hmph! Don't mind them. If you're still angry, wait until you've cultivated enough to get revenge yourself!" "Protecting the other party behind him," Styx said coldly.
Now that the new race has been born, it is protected by the Heavenly Dao. Even those powerful beings would not dare to act recklessly. Styx Daoist no longer had any scruples and openly displayed everything before everyone.
Rumble! As the blood-red placenta twisted, the origin of the Netherworld Blood Sea surged forth, and the spreading Daoist aura became increasingly grand and ethereal.
"Your child greets the Ancestor, kowtows to thank the Ancestor for the grace of creation, and begs the Ancestor to bestow a name upon your child!"
Amidst the surging blood light, the figures of a man and two women were born from the blood-red placenta and came before Styx Daoist, bowing to Him.
"Very good, let me think, what names should I give you?" These three, the man was ugly, and the woman was beautiful, all were born from innate gods and demons, and had the cultivation of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
"Your name is Mara, your name is Shiva, your name is Brahma, your name is Uma." After some thought, the Styx Daoist named the four individuals according to their birth order.
"Mara, (Shiva), (Brahma), (Uma), thank you for bestowing these names upon us, Ancestor!" Overjoyed at receiving their names, the four thanked the Styx Daoist in unison.
Instantly, the Heavenly Dao responded, bestowing four innate spiritual treasures upon each of them.
Mara received a black longsword, radiating a dense killing intent—a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure.
Shiva received a conch shell, Brahma received a [unspecified item], and Uma received a trident.
Because they were born later, their inherent nature was not as profound as Mara's; therefore, their opportunities were also inferior, and the innate spiritual treasures they received were only of mid-grade.
Four innate gods and demons were born in succession, all at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. The radiance of the crimson placenta dimmed considerably, its essence severely depleted.
Styx, seeing this, understood that the crimson placenta had reached its limit and could no longer give birth to innate gods and demons. Suddenly, with a wave of his hand, the crimson placenta exploded, transforming into countless rays of crimson light that scattered into the sea of blood.
These rays of light fell into the sea of blood, frantically devouring the surrounding blood, giving rise to embryos and nurturing new life.
Seeing the sea of blood filled with embryos, Styx Daoist's heart stirred, sensing that an opportunity had arrived. He quickly proclaimed to heaven and earth:
"Heavenly Dao above, I, Styx Daoist, Lord of the Netherworld Blood Sea, am deeply saddened by the absence of fish and shrimp, birds and insects, and the gathering of malevolent energy in the sea of blood, leading to the extinction of all living beings."
"Today, I have specially created a race, named the Asura, to fill the void in the sea of blood and compensate for the deficiencies of heaven and earth!"
This voice was so grand that it resounded throughout the entire prehistoric world, clearly reaching the ears of all living beings, shaking their very souls.
"Impossible! Without the Primordial Purple Qi, Styx could never have succeeded!"
Even the Three Pure Ones, who were in seclusion on Kunlun Mountain healing their injuries, were startled awake by this voice. They abruptly stood up, staring nervously at Styx, and exclaimed in disbelief.
Nuwa, being the first to become a saint, was already enough to make them feel aggrieved. If Styx Daoist were to take the lead again, they, the Three Pure Ones, would lose all face!
How could they still call themselves the chief disciples of the Xuanmen!
As Styx's voice fell, the power of the Heavenly Dao suddenly descended, permeating the sea of blood, gathering the Qi of creation from all directions, and pouring it into the embryo, prompting the birth of the Asura race.
"Asura! Asura!"
A mysterious voice rang out, calling out the name of the Asura, echoing between heaven and earth. It was the sound of blessing from heaven and earth in joy at the birth of a new race.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The blood embryo trembled violently, blooming with brilliant blood light, and invisible rhythms spread in all directions. Amidst the roaring sounds, one after another, Asuras were born, roaring to the heavens to announce their arrival.
These newborn Asuras varied in form: some had three heads and six arms, some were entirely bluish-black, some had nine heads and a thousand eyes, some breathed flames… the men were ugly, the women beautiful.
Though their forms differed, the aura emanating from them was the same: the bloodthirsty energy accumulated over countless years in the Blood Sea, and the boundless killing intent emanating from the Styx Daoist.
Even the weakest among them possessed the cultivation of a Celestial Immortal at birth, truly a primordial race.
Above the Blood Sea, as the number of Asuras increased, the laws of the Great Dao became clearer, the Daoist rhythm more profound, the Daoist sound like thunder, and more and more merit energy gathered, illuminating the entire Blood Sea.
Strands of indescribable light appeared, reflecting the fate of all beings—the light of destiny.
