Primordial Era: Reborn as a Tortoise, with Unparalleled Comprehension

Chapter 74 The Great Battle Ends, Styx Ancestor

When Pangu descended into the world, all living beings trembled.

Amidst Pangu's overwhelming aura, the entire primordial world seemed to yearn to return to chaos.

"The Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, is it really that powerful?"

Gui Xuan watched the battle below from the void, feeling utterly astonished.

The phantom of Pangu summoned by the Twelve Ancestral Witches actually gave him a feeling of unease.

The occurrence of this situation can only mean that the summoned phantom of Pangu has surpassed the level of the Primordial Golden Immortal and reached another realm.

"No wonder the Six Sages wanted to kill the Twelve Ancestral Witches; it was like a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads."

At that moment, Hongyun and Nuwa also appeared in the void, looking solemnly at the figure of Pangu in the void.

Clearly, they also sensed the danger in their hearts.

"cut!!"

The twelve ancestral witches shouted in unison, their banners, each hundreds of millions of feet long, swaying in their hands.

Before the incredulous eyes of all the primordial spirits, the phantom of Pangu, wielding a colossal axe that blotted out the sky, slashed at the demon race.

Wherever it passed, space collapsed, earth, water, wind, and fire were reenacted, and endless worlds were destroyed.

The power of the stars in the heavens was shattered, and the primordial starry sky lost its luster.

Donghuang Taiyi's expression changed drastically, and the Donghuang Bell above his head emitted endless precious light, attempting to stabilize the primordial space-time.

However, it was no match for the phantom of Pangu.

Before the giant axe even reached them, the aura emanating from its light overwhelmed them, extinguishing the flames of the three-legged golden crow's true form, and scorching golden blood scattered across the earth.

Di Jun was in even worse shape. As the primary target of the attack, his entire body was already cracked and his aura was weak.

The innate spiritual treasures, the Hetu and Luoshu, have dimmed and clearly suffered severe damage.

Xi Huang appeared on the battlefield at some unknown time, his body circulating with the Yin and Yang energies.

Strengths of law condensed into an array in the void, protecting the demon race from attacks.

"Demon race! Retreat!!"

Fuxi's voice was harsh and stern, echoing throughout the primordial land.

Only then did the demons, who had been stunned, realize what was happening and quickly left the battlefield.

But it wasn't that easy. A large number of demons turned to ashes, shattered by the power of earth, water, wind, and fire, and eventually disappeared.

In the void.

Looking at the gradually crumbling primordial space, Hongyun felt a pang of compassion, "All living beings suffer..."

After speaking, his body shone with Buddha's light, and the boundless Buddha's light dissipated the evil aura in the air.

One by one, demons and witches were quickly transferred out of the battlefield in his Buddha light, and the primordial creatures in the nearby areas were also transferred to the East Sea region to be protected by the Buddha light.

Nuwa then intervened, pulling Dijun and Taiyi out. Fuxi's Taoist robe was torn, and he appeared unconscious beside Nuwa.

Nuwa frowned slightly and finally sighed.

Golden light emanated from his body, and streams of creative power appeared, rapidly repairing the collapsed void of the primordial world.

With the intervention of the two sages, the shattered primordial space was rapidly repaired, but the attack from the phantom of Pangu was still less than halfway complete.

If the attack were to fully land, the entire surrounding area would be destroyed in an instant, even more severely than when the demon race's Rahu destroyed the western ley lines during the conflict between the Dao and the Demon.

In the midst of chaos, Hongjun sensed an ominous sign.

The will of Heaven warns that the primordial world is about to be destroyed.

Hongjun, who was meditating on the Dao in Zixiao Palace, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze dark and gloomy.

"That's gone too far!"

The power of Heaven appeared instantly, and in the blink of an eye, Hongjun arrived in the primordial world.

"stop!!"

A furious roar echoed through the primordial world, causing countless beings to tremble and turn their gazes toward the enormous face that had appeared in the void of the primordial world.

What struck the creatures of the primordial world as strange was that, whether it was their imagination or not, they actually saw a hint of embarrassment in the vast eyes of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Hongjun was actually in a very awkward situation at this moment.

For no other reason than that Gui Xuan had already made his move the moment he said "Stop."

The power of countless laws converges, with the twelve laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, time, and space, carrying the power of these laws as they condense in the void.

A Pangu Axe, exactly the same as the one in Pangu's hand, appeared in the void.

It collided with the phantom of Pangu.

boom!

The primordial world shook.

The shattered space, which had not yet been fully repaired by the two sages, collapsed once again.

But then Gui Xuan's voice rang out mockingly, "Old man, you want me to stop? Well, I'm not going to interfere."

Upon hearing this, countless creatures from the primordial wilderness nearly collapsed to the ground.

"Please, Dao Ancestor Guixuan, have mercy!!"

Suppressing their fear, the beings of the primordial world looked up to the sky and cried out.

As the crowd cried out, immense forces of fortune appeared on Yang Gui's body.

Yang Gui's aura surged, and the power of fortune flowed within the Pangu Axe he had condensed, greatly increasing its power.

Click!

A crisp sound rang out.

The phantom of Pangu summoned by the Twelve Ancestral Witches began to crumble under Gui Xuan's attack.

Ultimately, it vanished into nothingness.

The twelve Ancestral Witches appeared among them, their auras weakened and their faces deathly pale.

Looking at Gui Xuan before him, suppressing the pain in his heart, Di Jiang said, "Thank you for showing mercy, Dao Ancestor Gui Xuan!"

Gui Xuan pointed his finger, stabilizing the surrounding earth, water, wind, and fire, causing the shattered space to reassemble and return to calm.

Then he looked at the Twelve Ancestral Witches and said slowly, "Do not act rashly with unfamiliar powers, or the consequences will be unimaginable."

As he spoke, a massive karmic force descended upon the Lich and Demon races.

This battle severely damaged the desolate land, and countless lives perished.

The cause and effect of this matter can only be borne by the Lich and Demon races.

Having said that, Guixuan ignored Hongjun's awkward expression in the void and disappeared from the Lich Battlefield.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Dao Ancestor Guixuan!!"

When Guixuan disappeared, all living beings in the primordial world bowed in worship.

A feeling of relief and survival washed over them.

In the void, Hongjun felt increasingly uneasy.

These primordial beings do not worship me!

"My six sages of the Xuanmen sect have not yet all emerged. Once they do, all living beings in the primordial world will enter them. I am not in a hurry!"

After calming himself down for a while, Hongjun looked angrily at the ravaged Lich battlefield.

A cold voice echoed across the desolate land.

"The conflict between the demon and witch races has devastated the primordial land. No further fighting is permitted within ten thousand years. All efforts must be devoted to restoring the primordial starry sky and repairing the primordial earth's veins!"

"Demons rule the heavens, witches control the earth!"

"If war breaks out again here, you will all bear the brunt of the divine punishment!"

boom!

The aura of Heaven permeated both the witch and demon races.

This is Heaven's punishment for the Wu and Yao races.

"I humbly obey the decree of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun!"

Under the will of Heaven, the Wu and Yao races could only bow their heads.

Satisfied with this scene, Hongjun left contentedly.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches looked at the millions of witches, half of whom had been killed or wounded in this battle, and felt resentment in their hearts.

Zhu Rong's face was grim, flames blazing in his eyes. "This grudge, we will never forget!!"

The deaths of so many members of the tribe were simply unacceptable to the Wu tribe, which already faced great difficulties in reproduction.

Except for Houtu, all twelve Ancestral Witches glared hostilely at the Heavenly Court in the void.

Houtu felt helpless. Although she was very saddened by the deaths of her people, a sense of urgency arose in her heart when she thought about the future of the Wu tribe.

"The Witch Clan must save themselves!"

······

The war between the liches and demons shook the primordial world.

Countless primordial creatures were still not fully recovered long after the great war ended.

They were still immersed in the fierce battle that had just taken place.

The outcome of this battle was also quite obvious.

The myriad beings of the primordial era began to feel an urgent crisis regarding their own safety.

When Pangu descended to earth, he nearly destroyed the world, plunging the primordial world back into chaos.

Countless lives were affected.

If it weren't for the fact that the Dao Ancestor Guixuan spread his teachings and preached throughout the prehistoric world countless years ago, thus raising the overall combat strength of the prehistoric world...

Countless lives were lost in this battle.

Thus, a new trend began to spread across the vast land.

Seeking the Way!

Ask the law!

A wave of apprenticeship craze began to sweep across the primordial land.

Some ancient deities who originally wanted to take the opportunity to explore the human race and study why this race could enable Nuwa to become a saint were annoyed by the endless ancient creatures.

To avoid entanglement with cause and effect, he had no choice but to go into seclusion and cultivate himself, attempting to evade karma.

On that very day.

A voice emerged from the primordial sea of ​​blood, resounding throughout the primordial land.

This is the most filthy place in the primordial land.

All negative energies, such as malevolent energy, resentment, and violence, converge here.

It is a place that all primordial creatures would hate to be in.

It is the land formed from the filth and blood of Pangu, the region where the Styx Ancestor resides.

The two innate spiritual treasures, Yuan Tu and A Bi, floated beside the Styx Ancestor, while he flew above the sea of ​​blood, stepping on the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

A large formation enveloped their feet, obscuring the secrets of heaven and leaving the other ancient gods completely bewildered.

I wonder what this person is up to.

"By the Heavenly Dao above, I am the Primordial Ancestor of the Styx River. Feeling that the world is incomplete, I today created the Asura Clan to mend the primordial world. I hope the Heavenly Dao will take heed!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the powerful beings from the primordial era who were watching changed slightly.

The Styx River also covets the last holy position!

The demon emperors, Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, who had just woken up from their coma, almost spat out a mouthful of blood and fell into a coma again.

boom!

A thick beam of golden light, representing merit, descended from the sky and landed on the Styx River.

With an excited expression, the Styx Ancestor quickly absorbed the merit energy, and his aura soared accordingly.

He was directly promoted from the early stage of Quasi-Saint to the middle stage of Quasi-Saint.

He was just one step away from reaching the late stage of Quasi-Saint.

Under the excited gaze of the Styx, it stopped!

The Styx Ancestor was puzzled.

depressed!

Crazy!

"Heaven is unjust!!!"

puff! !

boom!!

With a roar, thunder descended from the sky.

The Styx Ancestor coughed up black blood and fell into the sea of ​​blood.

A six-winged black mosquito suddenly appeared, absorbed the black blood spat out by the Styx River at an incredible speed, and then disappeared.

The creation of the Asura race by the Styx Ancestor was witnessed by many powerful beings in the primordial world.

His expression changed from worry to mockery.

"This fellow is truly laughable, actually daring to emulate the saint Nuwa; what a pipe dream!"

"If becoming a saint were really that easy, we would have founded our own race long ago."

"Ridiculous... ridiculous..."

In an instant, the Styx Ancestor became the clown that the great beings of the primordial world called a clown.

The Styx Ancestor, who was originally unknown, appeared in the mouths of powerful beings in the prehistoric world, and then spread throughout the prehistoric land.

While all the great beings of the primordial world were mocking the Styx Ancestor, Guixuan flew out from the North Sea.

They flew towards the endless sea of ​​blood.

Looking at the Styx Ancestor floating motionless above the sea of ​​blood, and the surrounding foul aura, Gui Xuan frowned.

With a flick of his finger, an extremely vigorous life force appeared and entered the body of the Styx Ancestor.

Before long, the Styx Ancestor slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were blank and vacant as he stared at the vast, desolate sky.

"Dao Ancestor! Why is this happening?!"

An unwilling roar came from the mouth of the Styx Ancestor.

The Styx Ancestor was dissatisfied.

Without the Primordial Purple Qi, are these countless beings truly unable to attain enlightenment?

As one of the three thousand holy beings in Zixiao Palace, the Styx Ancestor was becoming increasingly unwilling to accept his fate.

His gaze fell upon Gui Xuan in the void, and his whole body trembled.

He leaped to his knees beside Gui Xuan, crying out in anguish, "Please, Dao Ancestor Gui Xuan, bestow upon me the Dharma!!"

Throughout the primordial land, who doesn't know that this Dao Ancestor Guixuan has consecutively guided two primordial saints to attain sainthood?

His methods were so advanced that even Dao Ancestor Hongjun couldn't defeat him, demonstrating his terrifying strength.

The method of attaining enlightenment is on par with the three methods of attaining enlightenment described by Daoist Master Hongjun.

Currently, Hongjun Daozu holds nine holy positions, eight of which are already predetermined.

There was another holy position that all the great beings of the primordial world speculated about, and it was either going to Emperor Jun of the demon race or Emperor Jiang of the witch race.

The reason I'm still persisting is because I still hold onto hope.

They believed that this last saint would fall upon them.

Now that Styx has tried and confirmed that there is no way forward, he almost collapsed in his Dao heart.

Upon seeing the elusive Gui Xuan Dao Ancestor, the Styx Ancestor knelt at Gui Xuan's feet, seeking the method to attain enlightenment.

Gui Xuan looked at the Styx Ancestor at his feet and was filled with emotion.

Opinions on the Styx Ancestor varied in later generations.

His attempt to emulate Nuwa's enlightenment makes him seem like a clownish imitation.

Deep within the filthy Netherworld Blood Sea, his malevolent aura repulses all living beings, and he has no friends.

But he was a true seeker of the Way.

Gui Xuan sighed.

"Attaining enlightenment is difficult; not all beings can reach the end."

"The primordial forces are ethereal and unpredictable. Each of the primordial deities has their own responsibilities. You simply haven't found your own path yet."

The Styx Ancestor looked up at Gui Xuan and said, "Dao Ancestor, the path is beneath your feet. If you fear the road ahead and hesitate to move forward, what is the point of cultivating this Dao!"

"We, the primordial deities, are born with knowledge; yet we are not as carefree as the lowest beings in the primordial world. What use are these primordial duties?!"

"Please, Dao Ancestor, have mercy! The Styx River begs the Dao Ancestor of Returning to Mystery to grant us the Dharma!!"
