Primordial Era: I really don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor!

Chapter 225 Houtu Battles the Styx, Nuwa's Invitation

With the creation of the Asura race by the Styx River, a new wave of innovation swept through the primordial world.

Many powerful beings witnessed Nuwa and Styx succeed one after another. Although Styx only succeeded halfway, he was still envied by many people. After all, the merits of Xuanhuang were not so easy to obtain. Even a little bit was worth it.

Therefore, many powerful beings followed suit and began to create all sorts of acquired races, such as the Space Ancient Beast Race, the Five Elements Race, the Soul Devouring Race, the Three-Eyed God Race, and so on. There was nothing you couldn't imagine that you couldn't see, and the variety was truly astounding.

These people can be said to have succeeded, or they can be said to have failed, because they did succeed in creating a race, but unfortunately they did not accumulate merit; they only gained a little bit of the fortune of heaven and earth.

But that bit of luck is negligible; you can get it by joining any faction.

In fact, these people only saw the success of Nuwa and the Styx River, but failed to see the unique characteristics of the human race and the Asura race.

Leaving aside the human race, although the Asura race is born from souls, incomplete primordial spirits, and the power of the blood sea's origin, its birth contains the three paths of heaven, earth, and humanity, which is not so simple.

From the perspective of the Heavenly Dao, the birth of the Asura race expanded the diversity of the primordial world and enhanced its strength, which was something the Heavenly Dao was happy to see. Moreover, it solved the problem of a large number of living souls, greatly reducing the burden on the primordial world.

As far as the Earthly Path is concerned, the emergence of the Asura clan completes the Earthly Path, making it more perfect, and also laying the foundation for the emergence of the Great Dao of Reincarnation.

From a human perspective, the birth of a new and powerful race instantly strengthens humanity, so how could one not be happy?

After Donghua finished his business at Taisutian, he prepared to leave. After all, although he had successfully completed his task, the final result was somewhat frustrating.

Nuwa is too cunning; I really can't outsmart her. If this matter hadn't been related to Nuwa, I probably would have suffered some losses myself.

But there was nothing they could do. Nuwa was the only saint in the primordial world, and if they wanted to take action against the human race, they couldn't bypass her no matter what.

Just as Donghua was pondering something, a figure appeared on the Blood Coast. It was none other than the Ancestral Witch Houtu.

Houtu was seen strolling along the Blood Sea coast when, at a certain moment, she stepped into the Blood Sea.

"Is this the sea of ​​blood?"

She had only heard of this place before, but had never actually been there. After all, the Blood Sea was located on the edge of the prehistoric world, and the blood and evil energy here was dense, so it was indeed not welcomed by the prehistoric creatures.

Within the surging sea of ​​blood, one can see many lonely ghosts and incomplete primordial spirits of those at the Golden Immortal realm and above.

"A sea of ​​blood, truly worthy of its name!"

"Or rather, it should be called the Netherworld Blood Sea!"

The Sea of ​​Blood is another entrance and exit to the Netherworld, and can even be said to be part of the Netherworld itself.

Houtu strolled through the sea of ​​blood, experiencing its wonder.

The Blood Sea, which naturally repels outsiders, surged with waves the moment Houtu arrived, as if conveying its emotions and cheering for her arrival.

The wandering souls in the sea of ​​blood all cowered up the moment they saw Houtu, as if they had encountered their natural enemy.

"The Sea of ​​Blood was formed from the navel of the Father God. It is the most filthy place in the primordial world, yet it is also the place where all things are reincarnated. It is truly miraculous."

"There are two entrances to the Netherworld, one in Mount Tai and the other in the Sea of ​​Blood. What is the connection between these two?"

"Why does the emergence of the Asura race stir something within me? What secret does this place hold?"

These questions have been troubling Houtu, because ever since the Styx created the Asura race, she has had a sudden feeling that there is a secret here that concerns her.

Just as Houtu was lost in thought, a figure appeared in the sea of ​​blood; it was Styx.

"Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, what brings you to my Blood Sea?" Styx's voice sounded extremely cold, not so much out of malice, but simply because that was Styx's natural voice.

Houtu stood with her right hand behind her back and her left hand outstretched towards the sky, quietly sensing the scent of the sea of ​​blood, without immediately answering Styx's question.

Actually, the main reason was that Houtu was in the process of comprehending the Great Dao of Reincarnation, which she had not been able to improve for a long time. However, when she arrived at the Blood Sea, it started to operate on its own. Therefore, her mind was completely immersed in the Great Dao of Reincarnation, and she had no time to pay attention to the Styx River.

This scene, as seen by Styx, was a sign that Houtu looked down on him and didn't even bother to reply. Styx's temper flared up instantly. He admitted that he couldn't defeat the Wu Clan, but this was too much of a blatant underestimation. After all, he, Styx, was a guest of Zixiao Palace, the Lord of the Blood Sea, and a late-stage Quasi-Saint.

"Houtu, your witch clan really looks down on people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Tu A Bi had already drawn his sword, his overwhelming killing intent locking onto Hou Tu.

The moment the killing intent descended, Houtu's entire understanding was interrupted, and her mind returned to reality.

Houtu glared angrily at Styx. No one would feel good about having their enlightenment interrupted like this, after all, the enmity of being blocked from the path is irreconcilable.

Neither of them offered any explanation; all they wanted right now was a fight, otherwise their Dao hearts would be troubled!

Styx made the first move because he knew that Houtu had broken through to the late Quasi-Saint stage much earlier than him, and he could easily lose if he wasn't careful.

As the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords were swung, the powerful killing intent caused the sea of ​​blood to fall silent, as if it had been frozen in time.

Two sword energies pierced through, unleashing the full power of the innate spiritual treasure, combining the Great Dao of Slaughter with the ultimate treasure of slaughter.

The blood-red sword energy shot straight towards Houtu!

Houtu's beautiful face darkened. She clenched her right fist, gathered the power of reincarnation, and threw an ordinary punch without unleashing her true form as an ancestral witch.

However, this punch transformed into a massive black hole above the sea of ​​blood, instantly swallowing up Styx's sword energy. Then, the Samsara Black Hole trembled and soon ejected two sword energies, which were the two sword energies that Styx had previously unleashed.

This is reincarnation, capable of obliterating all matter. Enter my cycle of reincarnation and obey my true commands.

Styx could never have imagined this situation. Although he did not use his full strength, he still had about 80% of his power. However, he did not expect that his attack would be easily broken by Houtu and even bounced back. It was truly bizarre.

Styx, standing on the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, lunged forward, wielding his twin swords to shatter the two incoming sword energies, before charging towards Houtu.

Houtu smiled disdainfully, a longbow appeared in her hand, she drew the bow like a full moon, locked the Styx River with the power of the Great Dao, and then shot an arrow.

The arrow formed from the power of reincarnation pierced across the sea of ​​blood, and with a single arrow, it seemed as if the heavens and the sky had been shattered.

Instead of being afraid, Styx was furious. How much did Houtu look down on him that she didn't even use the true form of the Ancestral Witch?

With the power of the Great Dao accompanying him, the Great Dao of Slaughter, Creation, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements converged, and the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords displayed boundless sword energy, forming a Shura world.

The twelve-petaled karmic fire lotus beneath its feet bloomed, releasing endless karmic fire power, which, attached to the world of sword energy, charged towards Houtu.

Wherever it passed, it suppressed everything. Houtu's attack was also disintegrated, and the arrows shattered as if they had never existed.

Styx's attack was indeed unexpected by Houtu. She frowned and instantly broke through space and time, making Styx's attack unable to find its target. Then, Houtu, who came out from another space and time, directly shattered the sword energy world with a punch.

"The Great Dao of Time and Space... I never imagined that the Ancestral Witch Houtu was also proficient in these two Daos. Truly admirable!"

At this moment, even the Styx River, which was engaged in battle, felt admiration for Houtu. He had also cultivated these two paths, but in terms of power and mastery of the Great Dao, he was far inferior to Houtu.

Thinking of this, Styx felt quite ashamed. He, a cultivator of the primordial spirit, was actually inferior to an ancestral witch of the witch clan. This was truly a great irony.

Houtu didn't say much. She was determined to beat up Styx today. She then stopped holding back, unleashing her true form as an Ancestral Witch, and unleashing the Dao of Earth and the Dao of Reincarnation.

The earth in the left hand, the cycle of rebirth in the right!

Charge towards the River Styx!

Styx was not to be outdone. In this sea of ​​blood, he had never been afraid of anyone, except for that freak, Yuanshi, whom he truly could not defeat.

But it's impossible for everyone to be at the level of Yuanshi, and besides, no one else has any innate treasures.

The two quickly engaged in combat!

……

In the Tai Su Tianwa Palace, Nuwa looked at Donghua with a smile and said jokingly, "If I'm not mistaken, Houtu's Great Dao of Time and Space originated from you, Junior Brother Donghua, right? You really are quite the ladies' man."

Donghua glared at Nuwa, too lazy to bother with this woman, and then prepared to leave the Snail Palace.

"Senior Sister Nuwa, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. I really don't want to come to your Tai Su Heaven anymore. You're too calculating; you'll end up with no friends if this continues!"

Nuwa paused for a moment. Perhaps these words touched her heart, or perhaps the other person didn't feel it or didn't care.

"But my junior brother wasn't exactly lenient with me either. Before I attained enlightenment, he forced me to agree to three conditions and formed an alliance with him. How could my junior brother be a simple novice?"

Donghua smiled but did not refute. He was about to leave on his own. Regardless of the outcome, he had accomplished his task and only cared about the result.

"Junior brother, please wait!"

Just as Donghua was about to leave, Nuwa spoke up to stop him, saying, "Junior Brother, it's not the right time for you to return to the Primordial World!"

Donghua asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Humanity is about to face a great calamity. If the Heavenly Emperor and others of humanity come to ask for help, will you help or not? If you help, the calamity will be averted. If you don't help, humanity will only resent you!" Nuwa explained her reasoning.

Upon hearing this, Donghua instantly understood. The first generation of humans possessed his Dao blood and called him his teacher. When the human race faced a great calamity, they would surely turn to him for help.

At that point, I was truly in a dilemma; whether I acted or not was also a dilemma.

I will ascend to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor in the future, so my relationship with the human race must not be too bad. On the contrary, I must become a model of righteousness and integrity.

"But what difference does it make if we stay in Tai Su Tian? The demands of the human race can still be conveyed here, and we'll still face the same choice, won't we?"

Nuwa smiled and said, "Who said we were going to stay in Tai Su Tian? This time we are indeed going to leave the prehistoric world."

"Leave the primordial wilderness?" Donghua was a little confused.

Nuwa nodded and said, "This was originally a task entrusted to me by my master. Although you haven't yet attained the Primordial Chaos Realm, your strength is almost sufficient. Why don't you come with me?"

Donghua looked at Nuwa and fell into deep thought. Although he did not know what Hongjun had asked Nuwa to do, it was definitely not a simple matter to ask Nuwa, who was only a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, to do it. It must be full of dangers!
