Primordial Era: Reborn Kong Xuan, Steady Cultivation

"Hmm?" Kong Xuan paused, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. "A sudden impulse, a connection between self and things... this is the opportune moment!"

The joy of having just acquired a massive amount of merit was instantly suppressed, replaced by a sense of anticipation.

What could make him sense something so dangerous in the Blood Sea must be no ordinary thing!

"Not bad, I didn't expect to obtain my opportunity so quickly. It wasn't in vain that I spent two thousand years in this sea of ​​blood!"

The dangers in the depths of the Blood Sea far surpass those on the edge, but he is now blessed with merit and good fortune, and is protected by the Five-Colored Divine Light, making him worth exploring!

After a decade of flying, Kong Xuan finally arrived at the sea area where the sensation was clearest.

From the sea, this place is no different from other areas of the Blood Sea, still surging crimson and haunted by wandering souls.

The only difference is that there are more dead souls gathered here, and some of them exude a significantly stronger resentment and malevolence. Occasionally, one can even see a fierce soul with a solid form and a lingering trace of madness in its eyes.

This is not surprising. The deeper one goes into the sea of ​​blood, the more deeply one is tainted by the source of the sea of ​​blood, and the more powerful the undead that are born will naturally become.

If one were to truly reach the core of the Styx Ancestor's Daoist temple, it would not be surprising to encounter fierce and malevolent spirits at the Golden Immortal level.

"The sea surface is normal; the opportunity lies below." Kong Xuan focused his mind and sensed for a moment before making a decisive judgment.

Without further hesitation, he first summoned the "Water-Drawing Pearl" and the "Crimson Fire Pearl," suspending them above his head. One was used to guide the water element slightly, while the other was used to release yang energy to slightly dispel yin energy.

At the same time, the dormant five-colored divine light within his body suddenly began to circulate, forming a layer of solid, glass-like five-colored light armor on his body surface. Its brilliance was restrained, yet its protective power was greatly enhanced.

Once he was ready, he sank into the thick, scarlet sea of ​​blood without making a sound.

The pressure increased dramatically as soon as we entered the sea!

The surrounding seawater was so thick it was almost tangible, carrying a biting chill and strong corrosiveness, frantically squeezing and eroding the protective divine light.

The scene before my eyes was even more horrifying.

Countless undead were densely packed, almost filling every inch of space!

Their forms are even more twisted and ferocious, and many still retain some of their features from when they were alive. They float and sink in the blood, emitting silent wails.

The intense, almost overwhelming stench of blood, resentment, and death created a terrifying environment that could instantly corrupt the primordial spirit of an ordinary immortal.

As they struggled to descend into the endless crimson seabed filled with the spirits of the dead, the terrain below gradually came into view.

Contrary to the imagined flat seabed, it was a series of undulating, jagged underwater mountains that cast even deeper shadows in the dim, blood-red light.

Kong Xuan focused his mind and sensed the subtle pull, slowly moving forward.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened and landed on a strangely shaped mountain peak.

This mountain is taller than the surrounding peaks, and its body is as black as iron. The most peculiar thing is that its summit is not a sharp peak, but has been leveled by some force, forming a broad and flat black platform. Against the backdrop of the blood-red sea, it appears particularly abrupt and mysterious.

The strong feeling in my heart pointed unmistakably to this flat-topped, strange mountain!

"This is it!" Kong Xuan was overjoyed. Without further hesitation, he accelerated and headed straight for the black platform.

However, just as his figure touched the edge of the platform...

"BOOM!!!"

The entire sea of ​​blood suddenly became violent, and the originally relatively calm water instantly turned into countless fierce undercurrents and whirlpools, tearing and twisting wildly, emitting a muffled thunderous roar.

Even more bizarrely, the previously ubiquitous and densely packed vengeful spirits have vanished without a trace, as if evaporated, and this area has instantly become a zone filled only with pure, violent water element and malevolent energy!

"Not good! It's an innate grand formation! And its grade is extremely high, its concealment ability is beyond imagination!" Kong Xuan's heart alarm bells rang, and his expression changed drastically.

When he arrived, he carefully sensed the array with the Five-Colored Divine Light, but he did not detect the slightest fluctuation of the array. The array's ability to conceal itself was almost perfectly integrated with the Blood Sea environment!

Now, by rashly intruding, it has been instantly activated. Judging from the terrifying momentum that has stirred up the entire sea area, the power of this formation is probably far greater than what we encountered in Wuyi Mountain before!

Sure enough, the moment the thought arose, another unexpected event occurred!

From all directions, the raging, blood-red seawater suddenly solidified and took shape!

They transformed into countless enormous, ferocious aquatic beasts, swooping down from all directions towards Kong Xuan, who stood alone at the edge of the platform!

The onslaught was so intense that it seemed to overwhelm and tear him apart in an instant!

"Well done!"

Faced with this sudden and deadly situation, Kong Xuan remained calm despite his shock, and instead, a burning fighting spirit ignited in his eyes.

He knew that retreat was no longer an option; the only way was to break through the formation!

"Buzz!"

With a clear and melodious sound, the five-colored divine light that Kong Xuan had been holding back suddenly burst forth!

Five colors of light—blue, red, yellow, white, and black—flowed and swirled like a wheel, forming a giant, colorful cocoon of light that protected him at its center.

Faced with this overwhelming attack, which was clearly dominated by the power of water, he quickly turned his thoughts around and instantly mobilized the principles of the five elements' mutual generation and restraint.

"The five elements cycle, with earth overcoming water!"

Suddenly, the flowing five-colored divine light paused, and then the yellow divine light representing the earth element and the black divine light representing the water element abruptly switched their dominance!

In the originally balanced radiance, the heavy and condensed yellow light of the Wu Earth suddenly surged, as if the earth appeared out of thin air, exuding a magnificent Daoist charm that suppressed, stabilized, and restrained the Water Element!

"Freeze!"

Kong Xuan pointed his fingers like a sword and made a light tap towards the nearest few water monsters.

In an instant, the yellow light of the Earth element differentiated and did not directly confront the enemy. Instead, it transformed into countless solid, amber-like yellow crystal walls, chains, and phantom mountain shadows, which either blocked, entangled, or suppressed the enemy.

The ferocious beasts that pounced fiercely crashed into the earth element crystal wall with muffled hissing sounds. Their water element forms began to become unstable and disintegrate. They were entangled by earth element chains, which greatly reduced their struggling strength. They were suppressed by the illusory mountain shadows, which slowed their movements and diminished their ferocity!

Earth can overcome water. In this water-based formation deep within the sea of ​​blood, using pure earth-based divine light to counter it is precisely using one's strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.

Kong Xuan stood on the edge of the black platform, his body radiating a bright yellow earth light, firmly resisting the first wave of the most ferocious water-based attacks!

However, this was only the beginning of the great formation's counterattack.

Kong Xuan's expression was solemn. While maintaining the Earth Element Divine Light to resist, he quickly observed the operation of the great formation, looking for an opportunity to break it.

He knew that the thing protected within this innate grand formation, which could perfectly blend with the Blood Sea environment and possessed such terrifying power, was probably no ordinary object!

But the most urgent task now is to break through this formation, otherwise we may be trapped here.

If this goes on for too long, complications are bound to arise.

Thinking about this, Kong Xuan became even more focused on breaking through this mysterious innate formation.
