Primordial: From a grain of soil to the ancestor of all paths

As time went on, the benefits of the "Ten Thousand Immortals Formation" became increasingly apparent.

Any faction that obtains this formation is essentially acquiring a Primordial Chaos-level formation.

Of course, apart from a few top-tier forces, there are very few forces or even deities who know the true method of setting up the "Ten Thousand Immortals Formation".

However, it must be said that although Dongwanggong did not make any great contributions to the prehistoric world while he was alive, he had a significant impact on the prehistoric world after his death!

"The 'Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation' alone is no match for the true form of Pangu!" Tianyan shook his head as he watched the two sides in battle.

“If nothing unexpected happens, the two Western Saints should be involved.” Tai Chu said without much change in expression, “As long as Hongjun doesn’t intervene, or if there are any problems in the Underworld that they can’t solve, there’s no need for us to participate.”

Upon hearing this, both Qinglian and Tianyan nodded in agreement.

They came here only to avoid the worst-case scenario.

Everything else is something the underworld must deal with on its own!

"Humph!"

"So what if you manage to block our attack again?"

"So what's next?"

At this moment, Dijiang and his group scoffed disdainfully at Amitabha and his companions.

Immediately afterwards, under the will of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Pangu's true form once again raised the giant axe in his hand and cleaved down.

"boom!"

With a tremendous roar, Amitabha Buddha's aura clearly weakened considerably.

"not good!"

"If it happens one or two more times, I'll definitely lose!"

Amitabha Buddha's expression was grim.

The expressions of Bodhi Patriarch, Ksitigarbha, Bhaisajyaguru, and other Buddhist disciples behind him were also not pleasant.

Buddhism, as a sect of saints, even though the two Western saints have not yet come to an end, they are no match for the twelve ancestral witches.
This is truly embarrassing!

This will also deal a significant blow to their previous hype and confidence!
"It's over!"

Without giving the Buddhist disciples any further chance to react, Pangu's true form swung down with its giant axe once more.

"boom!"

This time, Amitabha Buddha could no longer resist and was defeated on the spot!
The "Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation" was broken on the spot!
Worse still, without the protection of Amitabha Buddha and the "Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation," the residual force of Pangu's true form's giant axe struck towards the Buddhist disciples.

If it hits, many Buddhist disciples will likely perish on the spot!
"stop!"

"Twelve Ancestral Witches, stop harming my disciples!"

At the critical moment, the two Western Saints finally intervened, dissipating the remaining power of Pangu's true form's giant axe strike.

"The two Western Saints, you've finally made your appearance!"

"Then your opponents will be the saints of my Underworld!"

Houtu's voice came from Pangu's true form.

The next moment, Pangu's true form disintegrated and transformed back into the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Dijiang and the others were somewhat puzzled by this, but they were still willing to listen to Houtu.

"Guide and guide!"

"Come to think of it, I've never fought you like this before."

"Perfect, let me test the true strength of you two 'weakest saints'!"

At the same time, Styx, standing on the top-grade innate spiritual treasure "Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus" and holding the top-grade innate spiritual treasures "Yuantu and Abi", appeared in front of Jieyin and Zhunti, his eyes filled with intense fighting spirit!

Prior to this, the only time that Styx and Jieyin Zhunti could be considered a battle was during the Investiture of the Gods, when he and other top deities fought against the Four Sages of Heaven.

He has never faced the two Western Saints alone before!
"Previously it was Buddhist disciples versus the eleven ancestral witches, the 'Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation' versus the 'Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation,' and now it's the Western Heavenly Saint versus the Underworld Earthly Saint?" Upon seeing this, Jieyin immediately understood Houtu and Styx's thoughts, but said in an icy tone, "These are truly fair duels time and time again!"

"However, 'the weakest saint'...aren't you underestimating us fellow disciples far too much?"

"Styx!" Zhunti's gaze turned icy. "If you were only fighting any one of us, that would be one thing, but you dare to fight two of us at once?"

"You really don't take us seriously at all!"

"Since that's the case, then we'll kill you right here, and let all the gods of the primordial world know the price of underestimating us brothers!"

Despite his years of diligent cultivation, Jieyin Zhunti, though not yet possessing the combat power of the Hunyuan (Saint) realm limit like Taiqing and Yuanshi, has still surpassed most of the peak Saint realm.

In other words, even if there is a gap in strength between them and Yuanshi and Taiqing, it won't be too far off!
Jieyin and Zhunti could also sense that Styx's current cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of the Saint Realm!

They couldn't understand where Styx got the courage to fight both of them at the same time, and even looked at them with disdain.

Well, anyway, as a saint, Styx will not truly perish. Even if they suppress and kill him here, Houtu will not be too angry with them for it, right?

Of course, as a sage of the Heavenly Dao, even if Houtu really wanted to take her anger out on Jieyin and Zhunti, she wouldn't have too much to worry about!

Why don't you try it and see?

Styx didn't explain much, but stared at Jieyin and Zhunti with confidence and composure, as if waiting for them to make another move.

Jieyin and Zhunti did not act immediately, but waited for Amitabha Buddha and Bodhi Patriarch to move the Buddhist disciples to a safe location.

Otherwise, the aftershocks of the battle between Jieyin Zhunti and the Styx River alone would have been enough to wipe out all Buddhist disciples!
Styx understood Zhunti's intention and chose not to stop him.

Below even a sage, all are but ants!
In this day and age, even saints, beings at the Hunyuan Taiji Grand Luo Golden Immortal (Dao Integration) level, are as insignificant as ants!

With Houtu, the ruler of the underworld, in charge, the underworld can be fearless even if the Dao Ancestor Hongjun were to descend upon it.

If Styx defeats Jieyin and Zhunti again, then what are the remaining Medicine Master and Maitreya?
On the contrary, if the underworld cares too much about the life and death of the pharmacist and the others, it would make them seem narrow-minded!

"As expected, without the intervention of the two Western Saints, even with the 'Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation,' Buddhism is no match for the Ancestral Witches!"

"Now that the two Western Saints have entered the fray, the Underworld has also dispatched their Underworld Saint, the Styx Master!"

"But isn't it a bit presumptuous for the Styx Lord to try to fight two against one?"

"Heh, what are you thinking? Don't forget, the Styx Lord was someone who was on par with Yuanshi Tianzun right after attaining enlightenment, and who killed Yuanshi Tianzun in his second battle with him. Do you really think that he can't handle the two Western Saints now?"

"How can that be the same? So much time has passed, the two Western Saints must have become even stronger!" "Laughable! If the two Western Saints can become stronger, why can't the Styx Master?"

"..."

Upon witnessing this scene, the ancient deities began to discuss it once again.

This time, even they couldn't be sure which side had a greater chance of winning, the Styx or the two Western Saints.
"Master of the Styx River! Master of the Styx River!"

"Kill these two shameless bald monks!"

"What Heavenly Dao Saint? In front of my Underworld Earthly Dao Saint, he is utterly insignificant!"

"..."

In contrast, the underworld overwhelmingly supports Styx.

Even if there were some differing opinions, they were too quiet to be heard!

"Jieyin and Zhunti are in for a world of trouble!" Not far away, Qinglian crossed her arms, looking on with amusement: "Do they really think they can be a match for the Styx River?"

“Three thousand Heavenly Dao Laws, fighting two against one—these must be the source of Jieyin and Zhunti’s confidence!” Tianyan shook his head and said, “But Styx has been trying to comprehend and control more Great Dao Laws in the Underworld.”

"With the Blood God's clone and the 'Blood God's Grand Formation' added to the mix, it's naturally not something the two Western Saints can easily contend with!"

"No, you've overlooked a factor!" Tai Chu seemed to have a different opinion: "No matter how strong the Styx River is, it can only reach the limit of the Hunyuan (Saint) Realm at most, and cannot unleash power comparable to a true Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortal!"

"Once Jieyin and Zhunti also possess the combat power at the limit of the Hunyuan (Saint) realm, then they might be able to defeat the Styx River by virtue of their numerical advantage!"

"But the two Western Saints shouldn't have reached the limit of the Hunyuan (Saint) Realm in terms of combat power, right?" Tianyan asked with some surprise and doubt.

"You mean..." Qinglian looked at the Buddhist disciples who had gradually retreated to a safe area, as if she understood something, and smiled slightly: "Heh, if that's the case, the situation might really become unpredictable!"

"But perhaps that's what makes it more interesting!"

The Azure Lotus of today, like the Primordial Beginning before it, has mastered three thousand Great Dao Laws.

If necessary, she is fully capable of briefly unleashing power comparable to that of a true Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal (Dao Integration) realm.

For her, the outcome of the battle between Jieyin Zhunti and the Styx River was not particularly important!
Soon after!

"Styx!"

"Pay the price for your arrogance!"

Once all the Buddhist disciples had retreated to a radius of a million miles from the center of the battlefield, both Jieyin and Zhunti fixed their gazes on the Styx River, ready to make a move at any moment!

"I hope your true abilities match your current tone!"

The fighting spirit in Styx's eyes grew stronger. He actually wanted to test his true combat strength through this battle with the two Western Saints!

"town!"

The next moment, Jieyin and Zhunti simultaneously unleashed boundless Buddhist light, suppressing the Styx River with earth-shattering force!
"break!"

Styx remained motionless, his Yuan Tu and A Bi swords radiating an intensely dense bloodthirsty aura as he slashed forward!
"boom!"

The entire world seemed to be divided into two distinct realms: one golden, the other crimson!

The terrifying power contained within it, even under the suppression of the restrictions and barriers set up by Houtu, still caused countless underworld spirits and ancient gods to feel deep horror!

They had no doubt that even a wisp of aftershock from the battle between Zhunti and the Styx River was enough to destroy everything they owned countless times!

This is the power of a sage—a terrifying force that, even though they have seen it many times, still shocks them every time they see it!
"boom!"

The strange phenomenon of the world being divided into two worlds of gold and blood disappeared, and neither Jieyin Zhunti nor Styx suffered any damage!
"This guy actually managed to fight all of us brothers at the same time?" Zhunti's expression hardened.

While those were just probing attacks from both sides and cannot represent the final outcome, they still reveal a lot!

"Junior brother, don't worry, this battle has only just begun!" Jieyin reassured him calmly, "We will definitely defeat the Styx!"

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Zhunti nodded emphatically.

"Jieyin and Zhunti, it seems your strength isn't as great as you claim!" At this moment, Styx mocked Jieyin and Zhunti.

"Styx, don't get too cocky!"

"Next, we brothers and I will get serious!"

A surge of anger welled up in Jieyin and Zhunti, and together they rushed towards the River Styx.

Powerful saintly forces erupted from their bodies, continuously suppressing the River Styx!
"Ha ha!"

"come on!"

Styx's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and he kept wielding the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords, unleashing an endless and terrifying bloodthirsty intent!
"boom!"

"Long!"

"Long!"

"..."

As Jieyin and Zhunti began to fight seriously and officially engaged in battle, waves of power, each stronger than the last, swept outwards in all directions, only to be quickly dissipated by the restrictions and barriers set up by Houtu to prevent unnecessary damage to the underworld!

"Damn, damn!"

"How can he be so strong?"

As the battle continued, Jieyin and Zhunti's expressions grew increasingly solemn, and their faces became increasingly gloomy.

Even though they used three thousand Heavenly Dao Laws and all their own methods, they still couldn't suppress the Styx River.
What made it even more difficult for Jieyin and Zhunti to accept was that Styx had not yet used the Blood God Avatar and the "Blood God Formation"!

Doesn't this mean that they never forced Styx to reveal its true strength?

"Ha ha!"

"Well done! Keep it up!"

In contrast, the Styx was much more excited!
Although he currently only controls 2,300 kinds of Great Dao Laws, combined with his mid-stage Saint cultivation level, it is enough for him to unleash extremely powerful combat strength.

This is also the main reason why he is able to fight Jieyin and Zhunti to a standstill at this moment!
As for the Blood God's clone and the "Blood God's Grand Array"?
That's Styx's strongest technique; how could he possibly use it so easily?

More accurately, the current Jieyin Zhunti is not yet qualified to force him to use the Blood God Avatar and the "Blood God Formation"!

"Those two good-for-nothings couldn't even handle Styx?" At the same time, Yuanshi, who had already arrived in the Underworld with Hongyuan, couldn't help but curse inwardly after witnessing the battle between Jieyin and Zhunti and Styx. (End of Chapter)
