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

Chapter 349 Styx Proves Dao, the Ninth Primordial Era

Donghua's words, "Prove the Dao," left Minghe bewildered. He was suppressed and unable to move, and the Three Pure Ones also yielded.

He felt he had no hope of attaining enlightenment; the most likely outcome was that he would be recruited by the Heavenly Court, or even perish and lose his soul. But to his surprise, Donghua directly allowed him to attain enlightenment.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

Upon seeing this, Donghua jokingly asked, "What's wrong? Fellow Daoist Styx can't attain enlightenment?"

"Ha ha……"

The crowd above the sea of ​​blood burst into laughter, their laughter a mix of mockery and genuine envy.

No matter how much face Styx loses today, he will regain all the face he lost after today.

To attain enlightenment and sainthood!

This is the lifelong, unwavering pursuit of every cultivator.

What made them even more envious was that although Styx lost some face, Donghua made up for it all.

That is to let the Styx attain sainthood!

Don't assume that just because Styx was so confident that he could definitely attain enlightenment, it's not necessarily true that he will succeed.

The most likely outcome is breaking through to the Quasi-Saint realm, and the best result is attaining the Primordial Chaos realm.

But now Donghua has personally promised that he can attain sainthood.

Hunyuan is not a saint, but a saint must be Hunyuan.

That's what makes them envious.

To give an example, Hunyuan was among the strongest people in the prehistoric world, but the Sages, besides being the strongest, were also the managers of the prehistoric world.

One is the company's CEO.

The other one is a director plus CEO.

That's the difference!

Styx bowed deeply to Donghua with great emotion and said, "Your subject Styx thanks the Great Heavenly Venerable and is willing to die for you."

Donghua nodded slightly, accepting the bow from Minghe.

At this moment, Styx stopped being coy and flew to the side of Mosquito Taoist's true form.

The Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Lotus appeared, and the powerful Karmic Fire bombarded the Mosquito Taoist's body.

Styx's path to enlightenment was somewhat opportunistic. He lacked the accumulated knowledge of Donghua and Nuwa, the background of the Three Pure Ones, and the great wisdom and perseverance of Jieyin and Zhunti.

But it barely qualifies!

As the karmic fire tempered the Mosquito Taoist, his true form became even more refined, and Styx stood on a red lotus in the sky.

At this moment, his heart was filled with extreme complexities, yet he appeared remarkably calm.

The power of the Great Dao was released without restraint, spreading throughout the primordial world.

The starry sky, the celestial realm, the earth, the underworld, and the primordial world are all filled with the power of slaughter and the power of reincarnation.

At this moment, the powers of the three paths—immortal, divine, and demonic—emerged within Styx's body. The divine path was dominated by the benevolent corpse, the immortal path by the corpse-wielding path, and the demonic path by the malevolent corpse. The power of the three paths covered the sky.

Styx originally cultivated both the immortal and demonic paths, but his cultivation in the divine path had long since fallen behind. However, after Donghua conferred the divine position, he barely met the standard.

"melt!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Styx began to circulate the Great Dao within his body. The Three Flowers appeared together, the Five Qi converged, and Yin and Yang maintained their balance. These three forces are the foundation of all living things, as well as the foundation of the Dao and the world.

As the Styx River circulates the Great Dao, the powers of the Immortal, God, and Demonic paths begin to merge, forming a state of primordial unity. One transforms into three, and the three unite into one, proving the principle that the Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.

At this moment, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth frantically converged into the Styx River's body, and his magical power gradually transformed into primordial magical power.

The Mosquito Taoist's original power was continuously refined, transforming into pure Hunyuan magic power.

"combine!"

Styx let out a soft cry, his mouth containing the mandate of heaven. As his voice fell, the three flowers gathered at the top of his head, the five elements converged, and auspicious clouds manifested, descending endlessly. A wisp of purple energy came from the east and was born within the auspicious clouds.

Its body emanates a mysterious light, which is the Great Dao, the Heavenly Dao, the Chaos, the Primordial Chaos, the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, which are profound and indescribable.

The Styx River's divine body began to slowly rise, and the twelve-petaled karmic fire red lotus appeared behind it, emitting the light of karmic fire mixed with the red light of slaughter, illuminating the primordial heavens and all realms.

The whole world seemed to be covered in red, appearing sacred and majestic!

"boom!"

A resounding melody echoed as Styx broke through the Quasi-Saint realm and successfully reached the Sub-Saint realm.

But that's where it ends!

Because he had used up all his resources, he had no strength left to reach a higher realm, and he had not even broken through the River of Destiny.

Donghua exclaimed softly, "Do not slacken your efforts, establish the Asura Path!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Styx River released the Great Dao of Reincarnation.

Since the last Blood Sea Battle, Styx has perfected the Great Dao of Reincarnation, but has reached a point where he can no longer advance.

Because Houtu stands before him!

He wanted to use the Great Dao of Reincarnation to prove his Dao, but that was simply not feasible in the primordial world.

But if it's just for one or two purposes, it's still acceptable.

To put it simply, it's about using the Great Dao of Reincarnation to establish the Asura Path, then exchanging it for Xuanhuang Merit from the Heavenly Dao, breaking the River of Destiny, and attaining the Primordial Dao.

The Styx River lifted up the true form of the Mosquito Taoist, and the power of reincarnation pierced through the Sea of ​​Blood and the Netherworld.

Where the Netherworld and the Sea of ​​Blood merged, a world gradually formed, and the Five Paths of Reincarnation appeared before everyone. This was the Five Paths of Reincarnation unique to Houtu.

Just as the Five Paths of Reincarnation appeared, the Innate Treasure Reincarnation Seal in Houtu's hand trembled incessantly, as if someone was snatching food from her.

Donghua glanced at Houtu, saying nothing, yet he said everything.

Houtu rolled her eyes at Donghua, raised her hand to suppress the vibration of the Samsara Seal. She knew very well what Donghua was thinking, but she still granted his request without question.

If Houtu were to disregard everything and sever the connection between the Five Paths of Reincarnation and the River Styx, then the opening of the Asura Path by the River Styx would become a joke.

Donghua turned to Taishang and said softly, "Senior Brother Taishang, it's time to fulfill your promise."

The Supreme One said nothing, but simply activated the Taiji Diagram. Then, with a flick of his finger, he relinquished one-tenth of his Cycle of Fortune, bestowing it all upon the Styx River.

Donghua gave the Three Pure Ones 20% of their reincarnation fortune, but now only 10% remains.

After thinking for a moment, Donghua also shared a portion of his own reincarnation luck with Styx.

Houtu also set aside a portion of it.

Nuwa was the same.

Donghua and they were allies, and now their three-person alliance is about to become a four-person alliance.

Giving up a bit of one's reincarnation luck at this point is tantamount to acknowledging Styx as an ally.

The Supreme One possesses one-tenth of the Qi, and the three of them combined, including Donghua, also possess approximately one-tenth.

Instantly, 20% of the cyclical energy was transported into Styx's body.

Styx accepted everything without hesitation. Now was not the time for politeness. If he wanted to express his gratitude, it would be after he attained enlightenment. However, he would owe Styx a great debt of gratitude.

Once again, the power of reincarnation was activated, and a powerful force flowed between the two realms. Finally, after reaching its peak, the Abyssal Primordial Slaughter Sword and the Sword of Absolute Annihilation appeared.

"cut!"

Two sword beams shot into the sky, creating a path directly at the point where the two paths intersected.

The newly opened cycle of reincarnation is very unstable, as if it will close at any moment.

Styx quickly merged the true form of Mosquito Taoist into it and once again activated the power of reincarnation.

Using the true form of Mosquito Taoist as a guide, the power of the Blood Sea was mobilized and rushed into the Netherworld, causing the two to completely merge together and exchange resources.

At this moment, the true form of the Mosquito Taoist also transformed into nourishment and merged into the cycle of reincarnation.

"By the will of Heaven, today I, the River Styx, establish a new path in the existing five paths of reincarnation: the Path of Asura. From this day forward, the cycle of reincarnation in this realm will be divided into six paths. May the will of Heaven bear witness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the power of the Heavenly Dao spread across the nine heavens, converging to form the Eye of the Heavenly Dao, and then a beam of light shone into the Asura Realm.

"boom!"

The investigation of the Heavenly Dao continues, based on the situation of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man in the primordial world, to determine whether the Asura path is necessary to exist.

Time passed slowly, and as the light faded, the Heavenly Dao's examination came to an end.

This also means that the Heavenly Dao agrees to the emergence of the Asura realm.

Time passed slowly, and the Asura Path finally solidified, while the Mosquito Daoist's true form had completely transformed into the Dao, becoming a part of the Asura Path.

With the completion of the Asura Path, the entire primordial world trembled. Above the nine heavens, the Xuanhuang Merit began to condense, and the vast Merit Clouds made the entire primordial world appear golden.

Between heaven and earth, celestial flowers and golden lotuses constantly appeared. These were formed by the condensation of the power of the Great Dao and the innate Qi, which could be directly absorbed.

Within the Styx River, the Great Dao of Slaughter, the Great Dao of Reincarnation, and the four primordial elements were unified and eventually merged to form the power of the Great Dao Rules, which is also where the primordial elements are so powerful.

What are rules?

My word is everything!

My words are law, the way, and the truth!

"boom!"

The merit of opening up the River Styx descended from the sky, eventually merging into his body, and his stagnant cultivation began to advance by leaps and bounds.

A river appears.

As soon as the River of Time appeared, Styx wielded the Abyssal Slaughter Sword and the Great Dao Light pierced through the river, instantly shattering everything and uniting the past, present, and future.

With a single strike, the constraints of the river of time were annihilated!

Then Styx stepped into the River of Fate, and the surging river of fate did not stir up a single ripple beneath his feet, as if it were an ordinary river.

Step by step, the Styx arrives at the other side of the River of Fate, where an invisible chasm exists. Only by crossing it can one achieve true transcendence.

Standing atop the river of destiny, the Styx begins to slowly gather its power against that insurmountable chasm of fate.

"Shura!"

The twin swords of the Styx were swung out, their blades landing on the other side.

The immense power of the Great Dao clashed violently with the River of Destiny, and the power of Destiny continuously impacted the Asura Path established by the River Styx.

It's like the world has been restarted!

"bump!"

A crisp sound rang out in the river of fate, as if something had shattered.

Then the River Styx surged into the sky, and he instantly crossed the chasm on the other side.

"Buzz!"

Great sound!

The Styx River successfully transcended the River of Fate, reaching a realm of infinity, limitlessness, and immeasurable power.

Heaven and earth may perish, but I will not!

Heaven and earth may perish, but I will not!

This is transcendence, this is primordial unity!

As the Styx River stood atop the long river, the power of time and space and the power of destiny merged into the Great Dao and the Primordial Chaos Power.

At a certain moment, Styx opened its eyes, and an aura of astonishment soared into the sky.

It is indescribable, like the arrival of the Dao, like a descent from the heavens; its aura permeates the past, present, and future, illuminating the boundless heavens.

Past, present, and future are one!

All paths converge into one, transforming into the path of slaughter!

At this moment, the Styx River attained the Primordial Dao!

Just then, several booming sounds rang out from the heavens, followed by strange phenomena and a rosy glow covering half the sky.

Sweet dew fell from the sky, golden flowers bloomed in abundance, golden lotuses sprang from the earth, and countless spiritual energies surged forth, benefiting countless living beings, some gaining sentience, others taking human form.

A powerful pressure spread from the sea of ​​blood to the primordial world, and all living beings bowed down before the Styx River's aura.

Wherever his imposing presence went, people would submit to him for life.

In the heavens, the power of merit flowed continuously into the body of the Styx River, and the fortune of the entire Netherworld, Samsara, and the Three Mountains and Five Peaks also gathered there.

The first level of the Heavenly Realm: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and peak stage!

Early stage of the Second Heaven, Middle stage of the Second Heaven!

At this point, Styx's cultivation stopped, and he had used up all his merits. His cultivation ultimately remained at the mid-stage of the second level of the Primordial Chaos Realm.

He became the weakest Primordial Saint in the primordial world.

However, unlike the Three Pure Ones and others, Styx was only a Daoist Saint and did not possess the Primordial Purple Qi.

This means that his authority in the prehistoric world was not as great as that of the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and others.

Especially in terms of mobilizing the power of Heaven, they are far inferior.

But what is lost on one front is gained on another.

Houtu and the Styx River are far superior to the Three Pure Ones and others in terms of authority over the underground passages.

If we're talking about which has a brighter future, we should look at how the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man develop.

"We pay our respects to the Saint of the Styx and offer our congratulations!"

"We pay our respects to the Saint of the Styx and offer our congratulations!"

"..."

When Styx attained sainthood, all living beings in the primordial world paid homage. Even Donghua and the Three Pure Ones bowed slightly to express their congratulations.

How can we not celebrate the attainment of enlightenment!

Styx descended from the sky, stepping on a red lotus.

"This humble Daoist, Styx, bows in gratitude to the Great Heavenly Venerable for granting me enlightenment, and expresses my deepest thanks to fellow Daoists Houtu and Nuwa for their assistance. I am moved to tears!"

Donghua waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's alright, it's alright. The prehistoric world is also going through a turbulent time. The war against the Western God Realm is imminent. Fellow Daoist, do not slack off after you attain the Dao."

"I will heed the teachings of the Great Heavenly Venerable!"

Styx's attitude was more humble than before, which was the result Donghua wanted to see. Perhaps from this moment on, Styx's sense of awe was even stronger.

Because he had not reached the Hunyuan level, he had no idea how strong Donghua was now. When he was a Quasi-Saint, looking at Donghua was like looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.

I only know that Donghua is very strong, but I don't have a clear concept of it.

Now that he has attained the Dao of Hunyuan, he can taste the three flavors within it.

After thanking Donghua and the others, Styx came before Yuanshi, bowed respectfully, and said softly:

"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. Although we have not formed an alliance, I will always remember your kindness."

Yuan Shi sighed. In truth, he was not familiar with Styx and had never looked down on him, just like when he came to the Blood Sea to beat Styx.

But it was from that time onwards that he gained a new understanding of the River Styx and thought it was quite good.

Later, during their travels through the prehistoric world, they established a connection, culminating in this brief alliance to help Styx attain enlightenment.

Although they ultimately failed, they bought the Styx the most crucial amount of time.

Donghua glanced at Fuxi and said softly, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, you must also work hard; you don't have much time left."

"Yes!" Fuxi seemed to have gained a lot of motivation. He originally thought he was the first person to prove the Dao after Houtu.

But unexpectedly, they were outmaneuvered by the Styx River and ended up behind.

In fact, Fuxi has accumulated enough merit to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm, but his merit is insufficient, and his luck is barely enough.

However, he has great ambitions!

It's bigger than the River Styx!

Styx glanced at Fuxi and slowly said, "I have already sent a telepathic message to Brahma and the others, instructing them to withdraw their troops from Mount Buxian and for the Asura race to withdraw from the struggle for humanity."
