Primordial Era: I am a treasure trove, full of magical treasures.

The North Sea Black Tortoise can travel tens of thousands of miles in a single step. In just a few decades, the North Sea Black Tortoise arrived at the Xuanwu Clan with the Xuanbao.

The Xuanwu clan lives on Turtle Island and has a population of one million. The current clan leader is a Xuanwu at the peak of the Great Luo realm.

Upon learning of the visit of the three disciples, they naturally lined the streets to welcome them, and the matter was quickly settled. Xuanbao's word was law, and the Xuanwu Clan dared not disagree.

The matter was quickly settled. Xuanbao bid farewell to the North Sea Black Turtle and set off for the last place he was going to in the northern part of the prehistoric world, which was the Blood Sea, located at the northernmost part of the prehistoric world. The Blood Sea had an extreme environment, where fish and shrimp could not live. The malevolent energy of heaven and earth was highly concentrated, and it was often accompanied by endless blood and evil energy.

The Netherworld Blood Sea originated from the navel of Pangu, the great god who created the world. It fell into the depths of the void, merging with the primordial chaos and the remnants of a chaotic demon god. Located in the far north of the primordial wilderness, it is the convergence point of the most yin and filth in the world.

The Blood Sea covers a vast area, with its blood waves rolling in a self-circulating manner. The true water flowing within it contains innate malevolent energy and the resentment of all living beings, possessing the characteristics of polluting magical treasures, corrupting the physical body, and eroding the primordial spirit of cultivators. The Blood Sea continuously absorbs the blood and filth of the primordial world through void rifts, forming a special restricted area. Cultivators below the Great Luo Golden Immortal level are extremely likely to sink into it and never return.

However, precisely because of this, the primordial tunnels have not yet appeared in the world. The Blood Sea is currently the most suitable place for these wandering souls to live and cultivate, and naturally, it has gathered countless souls.

However, Xuanbao knew that the Netherworld Blood Sea had an owner, the Styx Ancestor, who, as a nouveau riche in the prehistoric world, was born with three top-grade innate spiritual treasures, possessing the Yuan Tu and A Bi innate killing swords, as well as the twelfth-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

They can truly be described as capable of both offense and defense, especially Yuan Tu, whose two swords, Abi and Shi, kill people without incurring any karmic consequences, making him even wealthier than Pangu's own son, the Three Pure Ones.

The Styx Ancestor of later generations "always imitated, but never surpassed". He first imitated Nuwa's creation of humans and created the Asura race. Later, he imitated Laozi's establishment of a religion and established the Asura religion. His realm also reached the level of a quasi-saint, making him the number one person below the saint.

In particular, through refining, he created 480 million Blood God Children in the entire Blood Sea, and was known as someone who would never dry up the Blood Sea or die in the Styx River. He could be considered a fierce person.

Xuanbao stood at the edge of the sea of ​​blood, feeling the intense bloodthirsty aura rushing towards him, his brows furrowing slightly.

No wonder the Blood Sea hasn't produced many innate saints. The only famous ones are the Styx Ancestor and the Mosquito Daoist of later generations. This kind of place is really not fit for humans.

He channeled his magical power to protect his body and slowly stepped into the sea of ​​blood. As soon as he entered, the true water of the sea of ​​blood coiled around him like a living thing, attempting to erode his physical body and primordial spirit.

However, Xuanbao is now at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and is completely immune to any erosion.

With just one perception treasure, one can sense that there are countless souls within tens of thousands of miles around, including two at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"As expected, the most delicious cakes are saved for last."

With everyone out to work, Xuanbao summoned all his underlings, a vast, dark mass, and charged towards the sea of ​​blood.

Next, Xuanbao saw that he had more and more underlings.

However, such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of Styx, the Lord of the Blood Sea.

Deep within the sea of ​​blood, waves of crimson surged, and a beam of blood-red light shot into the sky—the Styx Ancestor had appeared. He was clad in a blood-red robe, wielding the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords, and exuding a terrifying aura.

"Who dares to run wild in my Blood Sea!" The Styx Ancestor glared angrily, his voice booming like a bell.

Seeing the newcomer, Xuanbao was not worried at all. He calmly cupped his hands and said, "Uncle-Master Styx, it's been a long time. It's been tens of thousands of years since the last time at Zixiao Palace. Your cultivation level is now unfathomable. I'm afraid you're not far from the final step."

The Styx Ancestor's attitude softened considerably upon seeing the newcomer: "So you are a disciple of the Three Pure Ones. What brings you to my Blood Sea?"

At this moment, Styx was also puzzled. No one had been willing to come to his Blood Sea for so long because the environment was too harsh. Why would the disciples of the Three Pure Ones come to the Blood Sea for no reason?

"Uncle-Master, I came to the Blood Sea to subdue these wandering souls in the primordial world... to build a better primordial world together..." Xuanbao's mouth was like a machine gun, leaving Styx completely stunned.

However, I still know that Xuanbao came to collect these souls that can be found everywhere in the sea of ​​blood. Although I don't know what use Xuanbao has for these souls.

Styx hadn't originally intended to obstruct them, since these spirits had been making a lot of noise on the sea, which was very disturbing, so it would be better to take them away.

However, when Styx looked at Xuanbao, he saw the Human Emperor Banner emitting black energy and couldn't help but swallow. It was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, which seemed to be very suitable for him. Who could resist it?

Xuanbao saw that the greedy look in Styx's eyes was comparable to that of Zhunti before.

"As expected, one should not flaunt one's wealth. It seems I'm being targeted again." I'm afraid we're going to have to fight again today. But I'm also quite envious of the Styx's magical treasures.

Xuanbao pondered inwardly, but remained outwardly calm, smiling as he asked, "Is there anything else, Uncle-Master?"

Sure enough, Styx's attitude then underwent a complete 180-degree reversal.

"Hmph, this is my Blood Sea. Did you get my permission to come to my territory to capture these souls?" As if in harmony with the Styx Ancestor's aura, the entire Blood Sea instantly became like a boiling oil pot, with waves of blood churning continuously.

"Nephew, as the price for your trouble in my Blood Sea, hand over that spiritual treasure and I will let you go. Otherwise, I might as well teach you a lesson on behalf of the Three Pure Ones."

Xuanbao sneered inwardly. As expected, it had come to this. He didn't give Styx any face and started to criticize him directly, "If you want to take it, just say so. You're lecturing me on behalf of my master. Who do you think you are?"

"If you dare say that to my master's face, I'd still call you a man. You're like an old lady trying to make her grandpa laugh in bed. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Styx had originally thought he could intimidate this junior and obtain the spiritual treasure effortlessly, but he never expected that Xuanbao would confuse him so much. Although he didn't quite understand, the phrase "I'm nothing" made his blood boil, and he first roared in anger, "How dare this illegitimate son deceive me?"

"琤~琤"

Enraged, Styx drew his two deadly swords, Yuan Tu and Abi.

When the sword light appeared, it was very slow, so slow that you could clearly see the trajectory of it slowly pushing aside the viscous sea of ​​blood.

When the sword light shines, it is very dim, not dazzling, but rather it devours all light, sound, existence, and meaning that pass by.

As expected of Styx, he was one of the few great powers in the prehistoric world who was renowned for his swordsmanship. In Xuanbao's opinion, Styx's swordsmanship was second only to his master, Tongtian.

Seeing the previous attack, Xuanbao naturally dared not be careless. He summoned three Five Elements Flags and placed them above his head, with three layers of precious light firmly protecting Xuanbao.

Unbreakable defense...

Styx: ...

Upon seeing the three Five Elements Flags above Xuanbao's head, Minghe's expression turned extremely ugly. He hadn't expected Xuanbao to possess so many defensive treasures, making his attacks ineffective for the time being.

But he would not give up so easily. He wielded his two swords and unleashed even more powerful sword techniques. Blood light flowed wildly across the swords, as if he wanted to gather the power of the entire sea of ​​blood.

Xuanbao dared not slack off in the slightest. While circulating his magic power to stabilize the defense of the Five Elements Flag, he also summoned the Five Elements Avatars to surround the Styx River.

"Hmph, a few clones with the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal think they can deal with me? They're overestimating themselves."

Seeing the several Grand Luo Golden Immortal clones surrounding him, Styx scoffed. What were Grand Luo Golden Immortals? He could take them down with a single sword strike.

Moreover, he already possessed an inexhaustible supply of magical power on this sea of ​​blood, making him virtually invincible. No matter how he lost, Styx wouldn't even know.

However, this reputation for bullying the younger generation is likely to be confirmed. But it's worth it to get so many spiritual treasures. At worst, he can just hide after he's done looting and not come out until he reaches the Hunyuan realm. I doubt the Three Pure Ones would dare to destroy this Blood Sea.
