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

Chapter 279 The Three Pure Ones Join Forces, Conflict Escalates

An arrow whistled past, traversing time and space, its powerful force of reincarnation engulfing the Asura world of the Styx River.

An arrow pierced through his chest!

Styx watched this scene in disbelief. Although he knew the arrow was strong, he did not expect it to be this strong. His defense had become a joke.

If I had known this would happen, I would have just attacked directly!

This scene shocked everyone present. From the battle just now, they knew that Styx was no match for Houtu, but they did not expect to lose so badly!

"Both are at the peak of Quasi-Saint level, is the difference really that great?"

This was the question in everyone's mind, but most people didn't understand the terror of this arrow; they only knew that Houtu defeated the Styx River with three arrows!

This is what happens when laymen only watch the show!

Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun exchanged a glance. The elegance of that arrow shocked them both, because even if it were them, they wouldn't have been able to catch it, even if they were at the same level.

Styx felt the life force draining from his body. The power of reincarnation was devouring and digesting his magic power, physical body, primordial spirit, and the Great Dao. He knew that if he did not heal himself, he would truly be in danger of perishing.

"Houtu, what exactly do you want to do?"

Upon hearing this, Houtu, who was on the verge of collapse, mustered her strength and stood atop the sea of ​​blood, making her aura even more terrifying. To outsiders, Houtu appeared to be full of fighting spirit and completely unharmed.

But only Houtu herself knew that the Dao injury in her body had worsened. The Dao that was previously on the verge of collapse had now broken completely, and at this moment her combat power was only at the early stage of Quasi-Saint.

However, the Styx River on the other side was not much better off. The two were evenly matched, so whoever had the stronger momentum would win and gain the advantage.

In the Heavenly Realm, Donghua sat on his imperial throne, his eyes sweeping across the scene above the Sea of ​​Blood, showing no concern for the battle between Houtu and the Styx River.

He's concerned with reincarnation!

Regardless of whether Houtu can defeat the Styx River, she must be reborn in the cycle of reincarnation. This is not only related to the perfection of the earthly path, but also has a great connection with the subsequent struggle of the human path.

If they cannot reincarnate, how can Fuxi and Hongyun be reincarnated? If they were to be reincarnated through the Great Dao, there would be too many unstable factors.

Putting aside the fact that it would delay the attainment of human perfection, the most important question is whether the two can return. After all, even the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun cannot interfere with the reincarnation of the Great Dao.

Otherwise, Yaochi would have been reincarnated long ago, so why is there still no information about her now?

In addition, reincarnation is also related to the operation of the entire prehistoric system; otherwise, without a complete system, the prehistoric world can never advance.

Moreover, if he were to be reincarnated, Donghua, as the Heavenly Emperor, would surely have the opportunity to interact with the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man. With this opportunity, Donghua might break through his current realm.

Most importantly, the Earthly Dao will be perfected, and the primordial world will undergo an advancement. Donghua, as the Heavenly Emperor, will also receive a significant boost in fortune.

"It's time to go to the Blood Sea. There must be no accidents in the matter of reincarnation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Donghua took a step forward and headed towards the sea of ​​blood.

Meanwhile, on Mount Kunlun, the Supreme Lord, the Primordial Celestial Venerable, and the Master of the Heavenly Dao were sitting together, working together to activate the Taiji Diagram. A golden bridge spanned Mount Kunlun, the Yin and Yang energies emerged, and the power of the Heavenly Dao manifested.

The three of them joined forces and used the power of the Heavenly Dao to observe the long river of time in the primordial world. Although they did not change it in the slightest, they were able to see half of the trajectory of the primordial world with their combined strength.

This is similar to the last time Donghua and Nuwa joined forces to determine the fate of the human race. Although it is not the same event, it is the same principle.

After the three finished circulating their energy, the Tai Chi diagram slowly descended, and all the strange phenomena disappeared.

However, none of the three spoke, seemingly trying to calm their turbulent emotions.

After a long silence, Yuanshi spoke up, saying, "Eldest brother, third brother, Donghua's schemes in the underground and human realms have been going on for quite some time. I wonder how we should deal with them?"

Tongtian sighed and said, "We are still planning for humanity, but Donghua has already laid out arrangements in the underground tunnels. What can we do?"

The Supreme Lord's face was rather gloomy, no longer showing his usual calm, but filled with sorrow.

After a long silence, Taishang slowly said, "I originally thought that the Earthly Path would follow the Human Path, but I didn't expect that the opportunity for the Earthly Path to reach its perfection would appear first, and the Human Path would follow later."

"However, the completion of the underground passage is unstoppable. Not only can it not be stopped, but it should also be given some assistance. The only plan is to obtain the authority over the underground passage."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian nodded in agreement. What he said made sense. As primordial saints, how could they possibly stop the ascension of heaven and earth? The only thing they could do now was to compete for control of the Earthly Dao.

However, thinking about Donghua's current layout in the tunnels, the three of them had a headache; he was really not easy to deal with.

The Supreme Being looked up towards the direction of the Sea of ​​Blood, then turned his gaze to the west, and said in a deep voice:

"Since Donghua has already made arrangements, let's bring in more people. With more people vying for it, there will always be opportunities. Isn't this the tactic Donghua taught us?"

"Moreover, this is a struggle for the power of heaven and earth. Those two fellow Daoists in the West are also smart people. If the Heavenly Emperor Donghua were to take all the benefits and power, then the Sage might really be ranked below the Heavenly Emperor. I believe they would not want to see such a thing happen."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi wanted to say something but hesitated and remained silent, finally nodding instead.

Tongtian didn't care, so he readily agreed!

Seeing that the two agreed, Taishang then said to Yuanshi, "In that case, Second Brother, I'll trouble you to go to the West and guide Zhunti into the game. My Third Brother and I will go to the Blood Sea to see if we can help out and witness the rise of the Earthly Path."

……

Above the sea of ​​blood, Houtu endured the injuries from the Great Dao, her body radiating a terrifying aura. Her Ancestral Witch True Form stood above the sea of ​​blood, with five black holes of reincarnation floating behind her, inspiring awe in all who beheld her.

"Styx, we'll keep to ourselves. I have my own business in the Blood Sea, and I won't harm it in the slightest. You can rest assured!"

"So you should leave. Out of consideration for your past friendship with Zixiao Palace, I won't kill you!"

Styx sneered, "You think you can kill me? I am the Styx Ancestor, with three thousand Blood God Sons. As long as the Blood Sea never dries up, Styx will never die. You're welcome to try!"

Houtu smiled disdainfully, then calmly said, "Fine, then you, Styx, will just have to watch!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Houtu activated the five black holes of reincarnation behind her, and the Great Dao of Reincarnation stood above the sea of ​​blood.

In an instant, the world changed color!

This time, unlike the previous cycle of attacks, this attack was specifically targeted at the Sea of ​​Blood, or more precisely, at all the souls that had perished within it.

Wherever the five reincarnation black holes passed, all the souls of the dead above the sea of ​​blood flew into the black holes, and then passed through time and space to enter the underworld.

Styx watched this scene with heartache, wanting to step forward and stop it, but his injuries simply did not allow him to do so.

Although he has three thousand Blood God Children who can help him revive and achieve immortality, he doesn't know how long it will take to return to his peak condition.

Now, as humanity rises and the Asura race is about to vie for supremacy, Styx has absolutely no time to recover from his injuries.

Houtu disregarded the Styx's complex emotions and calmly operated the Great Cycle of Reincarnation, slowly sending the souls of the dead above the Sea of ​​Blood back to the Netherworld.

Although she was seriously injured, this level of intensity was nothing to her. After all, the cycle of reincarnation was ingrained in her bones, and she could do it even with her instincts.

The four great demon kings, namely, the Devas of the Four Realms, the Devas of the Four Realms, the Devas of the Four Realms, and the Devas of the Four Realms, were furious when they saw Houtu's actions. The souls of the dead on the sea of ​​blood are the main source of the Asura race.

Under their control, every lost soul can be transformed into a powerful Asura warrior.

If Houtu continues to do this, wouldn't it lead to the extinction of the Asura race?

The group could no longer contain themselves upon seeing this!

The four Asura Kings, led by Brahma, instantly united and gathered the Asura race to set up a great formation. With the help of the formation, the four of them reached the level of Quasi-Saint.

"Ancestor, we've come to help you!"

As Brahma finished speaking, the four of them stood in the positions of the Four Symbols and charged towards the attack.

Styx wanted to say something, but seeing Houtu using the Great Dao of Reincarnation, he stopped. Although he couldn't see anything wrong with Houtu, his intuition told him that Houtu's condition was not good.

However, after so many years of caution, Styx never wanted to take any risks, so he decided to let the four demon kings explore the situation.

Styx's eyes were fixed on Houtu, so much so that he couldn't even bother to heal his wounds.

But in the end, Styx was disappointed. Faced with the attacks of the four demon kings, Houtu remained unmoved, as if the four flying creatures were nothing more than flies.

"A group battle? Do you really think my witch clan is extinct?"

Xuanming flew out and instantly transformed into his true form. The power of the Great Dao covered the sky, and the rain and Xuanbing combined. In an instant, the entire Blood Sea was hit by a torrential downpour. The blood-red Blood Sea was frozen by Xuanbing and turned into a world of red ice.

Anyone who comes into contact with the rainwater is instantly evaporated. This water is no ordinary water; it is formed from the power of the Great Dao's rules.

Before the rules, everyone is equal; if your cultivation is insufficient, you will be defeated instantly!

Although Brahma and the others possessed quasi-saint combat power with the help of the great formation, how could they be a match for Xuanming? In just one round, the four of them were suppressed by Xuanming and frozen on the sea of ​​blood, turning into four ice sculptures.

Xuanming looked at Styx and said, "Styx, let me tell you today, even the fallen Witch Clan is no match for you!"

"If you're not satisfied, we can lead our army and fight you on this sea of ​​blood!"

At this moment, Xuanming's battle intent soared to the heavens, and the turbid evil energy of the earth swept across the sky, as if the Wu Clan, who once dominated the primordial world, had returned.

Styx roared angrily, "You vile wench Xuanming, do you really think this is still the era of the Lich King? Today, your ancestor will show you that decline is decline!"

He, Styx, cultivated the Great Dao of Slaughter, yet he was terrified of dying his whole life. Today, he was being mocked by Xuanming like this. How could he bear it? At worst, he would use the Blood God Child to return.

Despite his injuries, Styx summoned back the Abyssal Demon Sword and the Karmic Fire Lotus.

Stepping onto the red lotus, the karmic fire instantly ignited, burning the reincarnation power left behind by Houtu. However, this situation was a case of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of one's own, because the karmic fire also set the Styx River ablaze.

This shows the wrath of the River Styx!

"Fellow Daoist Guiyuan, would you be willing to help me, Styx, today?" Styx endured the burning of karmic fire, mobilized the power of the Great Dao within his body, and slowly spoke to a space.

A moment later, a sigh came from the void, and then a figure appeared above the sea of ​​blood, dressed in a Taoist robe, with white beard and silver hair, holding a whisk.

"Fellow Daoist Styx, why are you doing this?"

Styx looked at Houtu and Xuanming in the distance and said angrily, "Kindness is often taken advantage of. Even our ancestor has been driven to his own dojo. If we still back down, what's the point of cultivating the Great Dao? We might as well not cultivate it at all!"

Daoist Guiyuan sighed again, then said, "We've known each other since the time of the Ancient Dragon and Han Dynasty. You, Styx, even saved my life. How could I not repay that debt!"

Guiyuan Daoren was also a primordial deity who cultivated the divine path and attained enlightenment during the Longhan period. He had the cultivation level of a mid-quasi-saint and was not a guest of Zixiao Palace. He was a deity who survived from the ancient era.

There are still some people like Guiyuan in the prehistoric world, but these people have long given up on becoming powerful in the prehistoric world. They simply open up their own worlds and cultivate the Great Dao in those worlds, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Primordial Chaos.

Some people simply give up on cultivation, start to drift aimlessly, and immerse themselves in nature, having long abandoned the path of cultivation.

Styx laughed heartily and said, "Alright, then it doesn't count as us becoming acquainted. If I win this battle, I'll treat you to drinks, and then we can celebrate our friendship!"

No one was surprised to see this scene. Even a broken ship still had three thousand nails. As a top-level innate saint and the lord of the Blood Sea, how could Styx not have one or two fellow Daoists?

Styx was overjoyed and wanted to fight to the death, but Houtu on the other side was on tenterhooks. She did not expect that Xuanming's move would not only not make Styx back down, but would instead arouse Styx's fighting spirit.

"Things have gotten complicated!"

Houtu's heart was filled with turmoil, but she remained calm and instead increased the output of the power of reincarnation.

"Styx, since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish and show you the wonders of the Blood God Child!"

War is imminent!

This time, even the spectators stepped back, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire, because they all knew that if this battle started, it would be a fight to the death, the kind that would end in a fight to the death.

At that time, neither side cared who you were, what your status or background was.

Xuanming's face was gloomy. She could not back down today, whether for her younger sister Houtu or for the Wu Clan.

If we retreat today, the Witch Clan will forever become a laughingstock of the prehistoric world, a power that can no longer be respected and will inspire fear in no one.

Xuanming gathered the power of the Great Dao, and a signal rang out in the sky.

Houtu also stopped the transfer of the dead souls, and used the power of the Great Dao Rules to directly move the Netherworld to the vicinity of the Blood Sea. Behind her, from the five black holes, the Wu Clan army flew out continuously.

Xing Tian, ​​Xiang Liu, Jiu Feng, Tian Cang, Tian Feng, Xuan Yu, and other great witches all arrived above the sea of ​​blood, and a battle formation was instantly formed.

Clearly, Houtu and the others had long been prepared for the final battle.

On the Styx side, countless Asura armies had also gathered, with the four demon generals leading a group of Asura warriors in battle formation.

Among the onlookers, the High Priestess watched the scene unfold before her, wondering whether she should step forward to intervene, or rather, whether she should make a move once the decisive battle had begun.

After all, Houtu was one of the six emperors of the Heavenly Court appointed by Donghua, and the Wu tribe was also an affiliated force of the Heavenly Court. Strictly speaking, he should have helped the Wu tribe.

However, I cannot help the Wu tribe on my own today, and it may even exacerbate the conflict between the two sides.

The main reason was that he didn't know what Donghua was thinking, so he didn't dare to act on his own.

At this moment, above the sea of ​​blood, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle. The turbid energy of the earth and the power of the blood sea asura filled the sky, making a great battle inevitable.

This was the largest battle in the prehistoric world since the unification of the Purple Mansion.

One side is the declining witch clan.

On one side is the rising Blood Sea Asura.

The outcome is still uncertain!

This also opened the prelude to the humanitarian struggle!
