Primordial Salted Fish: Starting from Refusing to Join the Demon Clan

A Leaf in the Autumn Rain presents "The Primordial Salted Fish: Starting from Refusing to Join the Demon Clan," exclusively released for the first time!

Wherever the sword's edge pointed, space collapsed inch by inch, and time was distorted, as if the entire Netherworld Blood Sea was crushed by the weight of this sword, groaning under its unbearable burden.

The crimson vortex core exuded a destructive aura that could freeze one's soul, firmly locking onto the ten-mile killing domain where the killing avatar was located.

"die!!!"

The roar of the Styx shook the sea of ​​blood, filled with the exhilarating pleasure of unleashing fury and the unwavering conviction to kill.

This attack would require even a mid-stage Quasi-Saint to temporarily avoid its sharp edge!

However, amidst the overwhelming bloodlust and destructive energy, a strange fluctuation, almost imperceptible and originating from the very source of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, quietly merged into the killing move.

That is the red lotus fire that burns away cause and effect and ignites karma!

This is Styx's true killing move!

He predicted that the other party had committed countless killings and would be burdened with immeasurable karma. Once touched by the fire of karma, his true spirit would be burned away in an instant, and he would be doomed forever!

Faced with the world-destroying Blood Prison Demon Sword and the hidden karmic fire killing intent, a very faint, almost imperceptible fluctuation seemed to flash in the cold eyes of the Slaughtering Avatar, as if... it was the indifference of a successful plan.

It neither dodged nor avoided it!

The killing blade in his hand hummed and trembled, bursting out with an unprecedentedly dazzling blood-red light.

The Killing Avatar, wielding two swords, fiercely swung upwards to meet the demonic sword powerful enough to cleave the primordial world!

"kill!"

A cold word was uttered, as if it were a profound maxim.

boom--!!!!

An indescribable roar exploded at the core of the sea of ​​blood! It was as if two ancient stars had collided head-on!

The pure, primordial killing blade clashed violently with the filthy demonic sword that had been fused with the power of an immeasurable sea of ​​blood!

Dark red and scarlet light intertwined, annihilated, and exploded wildly!

A terrifying energy shockwave swept across the sea of ​​blood for hundreds of millions of miles in a ring shape. Countless vengeful spirits and malevolent souls that had no time to escape instantly vaporized. Even the filthy blood waves were evaporated and pushed away, forming a huge, temporary vacuum zone!

The killing field trembled violently, flickering unpredictably, as if it might shatter at any moment.

The figure of the killing avatar appeared small and fragile at the center of that devastating energy storm.

The killing blade in its hand emitted a piercing wail, its blood-red light dimmed, as if it were bearing unimaginable pressure.

"Pfft!"

It was as if some invisible barrier had been torn apart.

While the Blood Prison Demon Sword's destructive power was barely withstood by the Slaughter Blade, a wisp of condensed, almost transparent Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire, like a maggot clinging to a bone, silently infiltrated the Slaughter Dharma Body's scarlet aura through the gap between the blade and the energy, heading straight for its core!

It's done! A look of wild joy erupted in the eyes of the Styx Ancestor!

"Hahaha! Fool! No matter how powerful your path of slaughter is, you cannot escape the calamity of being consumed by karmic fire! Turn me to ashes, Ancestor!"

Styx seemed to already see the other party wailing in the karmic fire, their true spirit being burned to ashes.

However, in the next instant, the maniacal laughter on Styx's face suddenly froze, turning into unbelievable horror!

That wisp of red lotus karmic fire, powerful enough to incinerate a Grand Luo Golden Immortal and severely injure a Quasi-Saint, after invading the Killing Technique's body, was like a rootless fire crashing into ancient ice. It only flickered slightly before... silently extinguishing itself!

There was no raging fire ignited by the karma as expected, no painful screams, nothing at all!

It was as if that cold, physical body was completely detached from the concept of "karma" in its very existence!

"How is this possible?!" Styx screamed in shock, his mind reeling as if struck by lightning!

This overturned his understanding of the rules of the Great Dao!

How could someone who commits such widespread slaughter not have karma?!

Unless... unless it's not a living being at all! Rather... a creation of the pure laws of the Great Dao?!

"Buzz!"

The sound did not come from hearing, but from the tremor of the very source of space.

In that one ten-thousandth of a moment when the Styx Ancestor's mind was shaken by the failure of the karmic fire.

The dormant power at the core of the Killing Body—originating from the Guixu Great Dao Divine Power of the Kunpeng True Body—suddenly erupted!

"Return to nothingness... frozen solid!"

The cold words were like a death sentence.

A deep, deathly, and terrifying chill, capable of devouring everything, ignored the violent energy of the Blood Prison Demon Sword and the barriers of space, precisely penetrating everything and instantly affecting the connection between the Styx Ancestor and the Karmic Fire Red Lotus beneath him!

Click—!

It was as if the invisible chain of cause and effect was frozen and shattered by the extreme cold!

The unbreakable bond between the Styx Ancestor and the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, which originated from their symbiotic relationship, was forcibly "frozen off" by the power of the Void that freezes all things!

"Pfft—!" The Styx Ancestor was struck as if by a chaotic hammer, his true spirit was in excruciating pain, and he spat out a mouthful of essence blood containing his origin, and the blood light around his body instantly dimmed.

The Karmic Fire Red Lotus, which was connected to his mind and body, was forcibly separated from him, which was equivalent to his Dao foundation being violently torn apart!

"No!!" Styx roared with bloodshot eyes, his heart breaking as he watched helplessly as the twelve-petaled red lotus that had protected him for countless eons suddenly stopped spinning, and the karmic fire burning on the lotus platform dimmed for a moment.

The Killing Body has been waiting for this moment!

With an icy gaze and no wavering, a giant hand formed from pure killing intent ignored the aftershocks of the Blood Prison Demon Sword, whose power had been greatly reduced due to the severe damage from the Styx River, and reached out with lightning speed, grabbing the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, which had lost its master's control and whose radiance was slightly disordered!

"Give it to me!"

The giant hand suddenly retracted, and the karmic fire lotus was instantly enveloped and suppressed by the scarlet baleful energy, and absorbed into the Dharma body.

The whole process was as fast as lightning, completed in the instant when the Styx Ancestor was severely injured and lost his mind!

"You bastard! Give me back my Red Lotus!"

The Styx Ancestor has gone completely mad!

The Karmic Fire Red Lotus is its companion spiritual treasure and one of the foundations of its cultivation path!

His body was engulfed in a frenzied blood-red light, igniting his very essence. The entire Netherworld Blood Sea roared and boiled in response, and countless hideous blood chains, stretching for billions of miles, rolled toward the Slaughtering Body. The Yuan Tu and A Bi swords also thrust forward with a resolute determination to perish together!

However, having achieved the goal of killing the Dharma body, why would they linger in battle?

Faced with the Styx's desperate struggle to burn its very essence, it saw only cold indifference.

"The sea of ​​blood will never dry up, the River Styx will never die? Hmph, I'll take your dog's life next time."

As the cold words fell, the figure of the Slaughtering Avatar suddenly became ethereal, transforming into a dark red line of blood that had been condensed to its extreme.

Instead of confronting the overwhelming sea of ​​blood chains and twin swords head-on, it gently slashed forward with its killing blade!

"Sizzle!"

A long, narrow, deep spatial rift, seemingly leading to endless nothingness, was instantly cleaved open.

At the edge of the rift, the foul energy of the sea of ​​blood was being frantically devoured and annihilated by the power of the Void.

Without hesitation, the Killing Avatar stepped into the crevice. The dark red bloodline instantly disappeared into it.

"Don't run away!!" The Styx Ancestor, burning with blood flames, rushed to the crack like a madman. Countless blood god children and foul blood waves surged into the crack, trying to give chase.

However, the power of the void contained in that spatial rift was extremely domineering, swallowing and smoothing out everything that poured in, and the rift itself quickly closed up.

Only the Styx Ancestor remained, standing alone above the boiling, roaring sea of ​​blood, gazing into the empty void, letting out a venomous roar that shattered the nine netherworlds:

"Ah—!! Whoever you are! The grudge of having your treasure stolen, the hatred of being injured! I will fight you to the death! I will kill you to the ends of the earth!!!"

The blood surged to the heavens, but the trace of that chilling killing intent could no longer be found.

The fiery red lotus has already changed hands.
