Chapter 269 Cooperation

"I'm not asking you for help this time, but for a collaboration."

"Cooperation? It's quite rare for you to proactively seek cooperation with me. Are you planning to deal with Taiwei?"

Luo Hou looked at Zi Xiao, his tone as cold as ever.

Last time in the Heavenly Demon Realm, although Luo Hou escaped the destruction of the Heavenly Demon Realm with the help of the power of the Four Swords of Zhuxian, he was also lost in the Great Void Chaos afterward.

Fortunately, Luo Hou, who had burned his demonic destiny, completely unsealed the Four Swords of Zhuxian. No one knows what methods Luo Hou used, but he eventually arrived near the Great Wilderness. However, by this time, Luo Hou was already exhausted and on his deathbed.

Having wielded a fully unsealed Taixu treasure for an extended period, Luo Hou, who was only at the Taiyi realm, had almost had his life force drained.

Fortunately, Zixiao discovered Luo Hou at this time and brought him back to the Primordial World. After returning to the Primordial World, Luo Hou used his supreme authority as the Lord of the Demonic Path to devour a large number of demonic cultivators with strong foundations and adjust himself to his peak condition.

In return for Zixiao's life-saving grace, Luo Hou promised to help Zixiao complete three tasks. Luo Hou had already helped Zixiao complete one task, and now there are two tasks remaining.

When Luo Hou was talking with Zi Xiao, they both learned about the karmic entanglement between the other and Tai Wei. Zi Xiao had brought Luo Hou here this time to deal with Tai Wei. However, Luo Hou frowned when he saw Zi Xiao shaking her head.

There shouldn't be anyone else in the vast primordial world who has any karmic connection with Zixiao, and the fact that Zixiao would ask him to cooperate is enough to show that the other party is not simple, at the very least a top-level Primordial True Saint.

"As for Taiwei, now is not the time to deal with him. I can feel an extremely terrifying pressure from Taiwei. Taiwei has probably already reached the Great Luo Daojun realm. We can only deal with Taiwei when the time is right."

"I've come to you this time to cooperate in dealing with Youquan. You should have heard of that name."

Zi Xiao remained calm as he spoke, and ripples spread across the void before him, with countless rays of light bursting forth. A boundless, scarlet sea of ​​blood appeared, vast, terrifying, desolate, and violent. The moment this sea of ​​blood was revealed, Luo Hou's aura seemed to be drawn by the aura of the sea of ​​blood and involuntarily erupted as well.

As the raging demonic flames burned, the four swords around Luo Hou rang out simultaneously. The unparalleled fierce sword light severed the connection between him and the sea of ​​blood. His face was gloomy, and Luo Hou looked at the sea of ​​blood with uncontrollable killing intent in his eyes.

Luo Hou naturally recognized this Blood Sea. It was in this Blood Sea that he was tricked by Taiwei. Now, this Blood Sea has been occupied by Youquan, one of the former masters of the Four Great Ferocious Beasts. Youquan, who occupied the boundless Blood Sea, turned to the demonic path, and his supernatural powers and cultivation are among the most outstanding in the demonic path.

Over the years, there have been many cultivators who wanted to enter the Boundless Blood Sea, but regardless of their strength or level of cultivation, none of them ever reappeared after entering the Boundless Blood Sea. Even a powerful being at the level of a Primordial True Saint did not make any waves.

Even without showing his face, Youquan had already inspired countless demonic cultivators in the primordial world to worship him. If it weren't for the fact that Luo Hou had been the ruler of the demonic path for so long and that the Demon Ancestor's reputation was deeply ingrained in people's hearts, the fate of the demonic path might have already been torn apart by Youquan.

In fact, many top-level beings in the primordial world are speculating about Youquan's true identity, the former lord of ferocious beasts.

Judging from Youquan's unusual behavior during the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts, these top-level experts could tell that Youquan's origins were very abnormal, and it was highly likely that one of the Primordial True Saints had disguised himself as a ferocious beast.

Luo Hou agreed with this statement, but as someone with a deep entanglement with Taiwei, he suspected that Youquan was an incarnation of Taiwei.

Within the boundless sea of ​​blood lies the supreme treasure, the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Currently, only Taiwei, Luohou, and Minghe in the vast primordial world know of it. Just before the demise of the ferocious beast royal family, Youquan used the immense fortune of the royal family to unseal the supreme treasure, the Heavenly Burial Dao Diagram.

Afterwards, Youquan devoured the corpses of countless ferocious beasts, thus temporarily gaining combat power comparable to that of a Great Luo Dao Lord. With the combination of these two, he finally managed to break through the boundless sea of ​​blood that was sealed by a wisp of Reincarnation Heavenly Light.

Youquan's actions undoubtedly indicate that he already knew about the supreme treasure, the Six Paths of Reincarnation, within the boundless sea of ​​blood. Styx wouldn't have told Youquan, nor would Rahu, so it could only have been Taiwei who informed Youquan.

Based on this speculation, either Youquan is Taiwei's clone, or Youquan and Taiwei have an extremely good relationship. The second point is somewhat untenable. Even if Luo Hou, a top being in the prehistoric world, is not very familiar with Youquan, he would at least know that Youquan has never shown his face before.

Therefore, Luo Hou guessed that there was a very high possibility that Youquan was an incarnation of Taiwei. Luo Hou also told Zixiao about this. Zixiao also knew about the matter of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. In dealing with Taiwei, Zixiao and Luo Hou had the same goal.

"Not long ago, I sent an avatar to infiltrate the Boundless Blood Sea. Although it was quickly killed, I also sensed a terrifying aura that was constantly expanding within the Boundless Blood Sea. Youquan is probably using the vast essence within the Boundless Blood Sea to refine a Supreme Treasure of the Void."

"Now that we have confirmed the connection between Youquan and Taiwei, no matter what Youquan is plotting, we have no reason to let him continue."

"So, the reason I've come to you this time is to eliminate Youquan. You can regain the complete demonic destiny, and I can weaken Taiwei. It's a win-win situation, and we both benefit. What do you say?"

Luo Hou looked thoughtful. Just as Zi Xiao had said, regardless of whether You Quan was an incarnation of Tai Wei, he posed a great threat to the demonic path he controlled. Eliminating You Quan would be entirely beneficial to him.

Looking at Zixiao, Luo Hou nodded and said, "I agree, but there is one thing I need to tell you in advance: our cooperation will end the moment Youquan dies. As for the Six Paths of Reincarnation, it will depend on our own abilities."

"Truly confident, worthy of being the Demon Ancestor." Zi Xiao's smile faltered for a moment before she looked at Luo Hou and said with a smile, "No problem, the law of the jungle, that's the eternal law of our primordial world."

"The outer perimeter of the Boundless Blood Sea is surrounded by numerous arrays set up by Youquan. These arrays, which rely on the Boundless Blood Sea, possess extremely powerful abilities. It may not be so easy for us to enter the Boundless Blood Sea."

"This time it's not infiltration, but a direct slaughter. Since you brought me here, it means you already have a way to break these formations. Tell me."

Luo Hou looked at the boundless sea of ​​blood that Zi Xiao had created and saw the complex array hidden in the endless blood light. This array was extremely complex and terrifying. Unless the two of them unsealed the Taixu Supreme Treasure in their hands, they would probably not be able to force their way into the boundless sea of ​​blood.

"There's not much to say. I have many methods for infiltrating to gather intelligence, but if we want to kill Youquan, we need to descend into the Boundless Blood Sea in our true forms. The great formation relying on the Boundless Blood Sea can only be destroyed with the purest power. I have prepared these for this purpose, which should be enough."

Zi Xiao spread his five fingers on his left hand, and three bluish-white jade fragments shone brightly, constantly emanating pure and boundless vitality of creation. The profound and vast Dao essence caused the four Zhuxian swords around Luo Hou to emit fierce sword cries one after another.

"You're quite willing to part with three fragments of the Primordial Lotus. I've always had a question: how many fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation do you actually possess?"

Luo Hou's eyes narrowed slightly. The four swords of Zhuxian intertwined, severing the space-time barrier between him and Zixiao. Even if the fragments of the Creation Lotus were extremely incomplete, they were still part of the sacred artifact of the Great Dao.

The self-destruction of the Genesis Green Lotus fragments is comparable to a fully unsealed Taixu Supreme Treasure. Let alone three fragments, according to Luo Hou's estimation, one fragment of the Genesis Green Lotus should be enough.

"This is one of my trump cards. I can't tell you the exact number, but it's enough for me to protect myself."

A smile appeared in Zi Xiao's eyes as he put away the three fragments of the Creation Lotus in his palm. Zi Xiao's background was rather special, and he was able to roughly sense the aura of the Creation Lotus fragments in the primordial world.

The Jade Disc of Creation, a supreme treasure of the Void, was made from hundreds of fragments of the Azure Lotus of Creation. After the Jade Disc of Creation was finished, Zi Xiao still had quite a few fragments of the Azure Lotus of Creation left.

The number of these Creation Lotus fragments was no longer sufficient to forge a second Supreme Treasure of the Void. Therefore, Zi Xiao regarded these Creation Lotus fragments as his protective treasures. As long as he had the Creation Lotus fragments in hand, no matter who he faced, Zi Xiao would have the opportunity to escape with ease.

After discussing for a while, Zi Xiao and Luo Hou each rode their respective Taixu Treasures towards the Boundless Blood Sea. The clear heavenly secrets were disrupted at this moment by the Creation Jade Disc and the Four Swords of Zhuxian. You Quan, who was refining the Taixu Treasures in the Boundless Blood Sea, frowned and felt a slight chill.

However, the chill quickly dissipated, and Youquan paid no attention to it, continuing to refine the Taixu Supreme Treasure in his hand. With the Boundless Blood Sea, a treasure of heaven and earth that perfectly matched his own Blood Sea Dao, Youquan's progress in refining the Taixu Supreme Treasure was smooth sailing.

With the sheer size of the Boundless Blood Sea, Youquan could refine two Supreme Treasures of the Void. However, doing so would drain the Boundless Blood Sea dry. Naturally, Youquan would not destroy his own foundation of the Great Dao. Therefore, Youquan only extracted nearly 50% of the Blood Sea's essence to refine his own Supreme Treasures of the Void.

In Taiwei's plan, Youquan's clone is the future Lord of the Demonic Path and the most powerful clone to end Luo Hou's life. Luo Hou's life must be ended by Youquan.
