Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start

Chapter 211 Flattening the Sea of ​​Blood!

Tang Sanzang and his companions had naturally heard of the Netherworld Blood Sea, but this was their first time visiting it.

The Netherworld Blood Sea is infamous not only because of its extremely harsh environment, but also because it is the lair of the Styx Lord.

"Hmm? There are actually living beings in the Netherworld Blood Sea?" Sun Wukong was slightly taken aback, his gaze focusing on a certain spot in the Netherworld Blood Sea.

Where Sun Wukong's gaze was focused, there was an extremely ferocious-looking creature spying on Jiang Heng and the others.

"These are the Asura race, beings created here in the Sea of ​​Blood by the Styx Lord in the past, imitating the creation of humans by the goddess Nuwa!" Jiang Heng said.

Although the Asura race was created by the Lord of the Styx, it is indeed one of the myriad races in the primordial world.

The Asura race is naturally skilled in battle. The males are extremely ugly, while the females are extremely beautiful. The one spying on Jiang Heng and the others is a male Asura.

"I never imagined that the Lord of the Styx was so capable, even able to create living beings!" Sun Wukong said with considerable surprise.

Creating life is something that ordinary powerful beings cannot do; even peak quasi-saints rarely possess this ability.

Take Yang Jian as an example. He may be incredibly powerful, but if asked to create living beings, he would be unable to do so.

From this point of view alone, the Lord of the Styx has something unique about him. It is definitely not a coincidence that he was able to become a top powerhouse in the Three Realms.

"The Lord of the Styx is indeed quite capable, but when calamity strikes, he too will perish!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Heng took a step forward and stood high in the Netherworld Blood Sea, his powerful aura instantly erupting.

The vast Netherworld Blood Sea instantly surged with towering waves, an incredibly dense aura of malevolence condensed, and gusts of yin wind seemed to be the roar of countless wronged souls.

"Styx, now that you know I'm here, what's the point of hiding and not coming out?"

Jiang Heng's booming voice echoed through the Netherworld Blood Sea, causing countless Asuras to instantly kneel in terror, as if they were enduring unimaginable pressure.

"Human Emperor! Do you really have to be so aggressive?" The Lord of the Styx manifested in the Netherworld Blood Sea, looking at Jiang Heng with a gloomy expression.

The Lord of the Styx never expected that even though he had already voluntarily retreated, Jiang Heng would still not let him go and would actually kill his way into the Netherworld Blood Sea.

"Hahaha! Even if you escape from the primordial world, you will not have any chance of survival in my hands!" Jiang Heng said.

"Human Emperor, do you really intend to exterminate them all? Don't forget, this is the Netherworld Blood Sea!" the Styx Lord said in a deep voice.

There was a reason why the Lord of the Styx said that; the Netherworld Blood Sea was the Lord of the Styx's lair, which he had cultivated for countless years.

Within the Netherworld Blood Sea, the Lord of the Styx not only possessed a significant geographical advantage, but he also had a mysterious connection with the Netherworld Blood Sea.

Within this Netherworld Blood Sea, the Styx Lord was confident that even a saint would find it difficult to do anything to him, let alone Jiang Heng, who was merely an avatar.

"So what if it's the Netherworld Blood Sea? I've come here today not only to kill you and annihilate you, but also to completely wipe out the Netherworld Blood Sea!" Jiang Heng said disdainfully.

Jiang Heng knew perfectly well what the Lord of the Styx relied on. But now that he was here, how could he be without any confidence?

"Arrogant! Human Emperor, today the Ancestor stands right here, and I want to see how you will pacify the Blood Sea!" the Styx Master said in a deep voice.

Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone a top expert like the Styx Lord. The Styx Lord really didn't believe that Jiang Heng could do anything to him in the sea of ​​blood.

"Styx! No matter how confident you are, in my eyes, you are nothing but withered bones in a tomb!"

Jiang Heng was too lazy to waste any more words on a dying man. In the instant he spoke, Jiang Heng took a step forward and threw a punch.

With a single punch, the blazing true fire of the sun manifested and coalesced into Emperor Yao, one of the Five Emperors. This was the fifth move of the Emperor's Fist, Heavenly Fire Spreads Across the Plains.

Emperor Yao manifested, and the blazing fire of the sun soared into the sky, causing the entire Netherworld Blood Sea to boil, and countless drops of blood were instantly evaporated.

The Lord of the Styx, no longer able to be surprised, quickly summoned the innate spiritual treasure, the Red Lotus of Karmic Fire, to protect himself.

Jiang Heng looked at the Styx Lord with disdain. Emperor Yao, with his feet on a sea of ​​blood and his head above the blue sky, instantly descended in front of the Styx Lord.

A terrifying attack was unleashed in an instant, the power of the five elements of fire instantly condensed to its limit, directly striking the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

A tremendous sound rang out, and with Jiang Heng's powerful punch, the Styx Cult Leader was sent flying like a cannonball.

As he was being blasted away, the Styx Lord was horrified to discover that the light of the Karmic Fire Lotus was gradually dimming.

This situation undoubtedly indicates that the karmic fire red lotus, this top-grade innate spiritual treasure, has suffered severe damage, and that its very essence has been damaged.

In the next instant, an incredible power struck, and the Styx Lord's face turned deathly pale, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Impossible! How could you be so powerful?" the Styx Cult Leader roared in disbelief.

Within the Kingdom of Baoxiang, the Lord of the Styx River had indeed clashed with Jiang Heng. At that time, while Jiang Heng was powerful, he was certainly not as powerful as he had become.

Just one punch! A single punch was enough to seriously injure him; such terrifying power was on a completely different level from his own.

Not to mention the Styx Lord was extremely shocked, Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang, who were watching the battle, were also staring blankly at Jiang Heng.

Through Jiang Heng's words, Tang Sanzang and his companions learned that the Styx Master was actually an extremely powerful figure.

How could such a terrifyingly powerful figure be so easily defeated by Jiang Heng, the Human Emperor?

Sun Wukong felt it even more intensely; with his current strength, he understood even more clearly just how powerful Jiang Heng's punch had been.

Even if he were replaced by the Lord of the Styx, Sun Wukong knew that under Jiang Heng's punch just now, his fate would definitely not be much better than the Lord of the Styx's.

The fact that the Lord of the Styx was no match for Jiang Heng means that Sun Wukong was equally no match for him.

After the first punch, Jiang Heng gave the Styx Cult Master no chance to catch his breath. He took another step forward and unleashed another punch.

The sword light that pierced the heavens instantly manifested and condensed into Emperor Yu, one of the Five Emperors. This was the eighth move of the Emperor's Fist, Breaking the Sky.

When this punch landed, the karmic fire red lotus, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, completely collapsed, and its powerful force instantly fell upon the Styx Master.

There was no suspense whatsoever! When Jiang Heng's Emperor Fist landed on the Styx Lord, the Styx Lord's body instantly turned to ashes.

The Lord of the Styx was a top expert in the Three Realms, yet he was reduced to ashes before he could even withstand two punches from Jiang Heng.

This terrifying scene not only left Tang Sanzang and his companions dumbfounded, but also astonished other powerful beings in the Three Realms.

This time, Jiang Heng's descent into the Netherworld Blood Sea was so tumultuous and made no attempt to conceal it, which naturally alerted the other powerful figures.

In particular, the incarnations of those saints sensed Jiang Heng's actions in the Netherworld Blood Sea immediately.

The two saints of the Western Sect were actually the fastest to act. The Western Sect had cooperated with the Lord of the Styx many times, and the two sides had a close relationship.

In the eyes of the two saints of the Western religion, the Lord of the Styx was gradually leaning towards the Western religion and was someone they were trying their best to win over.

Moreover, even if the Lord of the Styx did not completely side with the Western Sect, he was still an important ally for the Western Sect.

The two saints of the Western Sect naturally wouldn't stand idly by and watch the Lord of the Styx be killed by Jiang Heng, so they came to his rescue immediately.

But to the surprise of the two saints of the Western Sect, the Lord of the Styx was so easily defeated and killed by Jiang Heng so quickly.

The two saints of the Western religion were utterly shocked. After exchanging a glance, they both saw a trace of fear in each other's eyes.

The Lord of the Styx could not possibly be that weak, yet he died so quickly at the hands of Jiang Heng. Just how terrifying is Jiang Heng's strength?

Moreover, even the Lord of the Styx was so easily killed by Jiang Heng, how long could they possibly hold out against him?

At this moment, the two saints of the Western Sect once again recalled the fear that Jiang Heng had once instilled in them.

Not only the two saints of Western religion, but also the incarnations of other saints were shocked when they saw such an incredible scene.

The saints themselves were well aware of the extent of the power possessed by the incarnations of saints. Even they could not kill the Lord of the Styx so easily.

The strength Jiang Heng displayed at this moment was so incredible that the saints had to wonder if this was truly Jiang Heng's incarnation.

Of course, neither the Heavenly Dao nor Dao Ancestor Hongjun made a move, which means that what is now descending into the Netherworld Blood Sea is indeed Jiang Heng's incarnation.

Otherwise, all the sages would probably begin to doubt whether Jiang Heng's true form had descended into the Netherworld Blood Sea at this moment.

"They killed the Lord of the Styx so easily? That's too strong!" Sun Wukong muttered to himself.

"You're wrong about that. The Lord of the Styx is not actually dead!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

"He's not dead? Just now, wasn't the Styx Lord annihilated by you, Human Emperor?" Sun Wukong was slightly taken aback and said in surprise.

Sun Wukong witnessed firsthand how Jiang Heng annihilated the Styx Lord, completely obliterating his physical body. How could he possibly survive?

"In the ancient world, there was a saying: 'The sea of ​​blood will never dry up, and the River Styx will never die!'"

This is not just empty talk. The Styx Lord, this giant, had long ago merged himself with the Blood Sea Origin into one.

"The Netherworld Blood Sea is the Styx Lord, and the Styx Lord is the Netherworld Blood Sea. Now that the Blood Sea still exists, the Styx Lord is naturally not dead!" Jiang Heng said.

"To merge with the Sea of ​​Blood? The Sea of ​​Blood will never dry up, and the River Styx will never die? What a terrifying ability this is!" Sun Wukong exclaimed in surprise.

The Lord of the Styx was indeed an extremely terrifyingly powerful figure, and among those below the level of a saint, he was definitely one of the top figures.

But such a powerful figure was so easily killed by the Human Emperor before him. In Sun Wukong's eyes, Jiang Heng was truly terrifying.

"Not bad! After refining the Blood Sea Origin, the Styx Master condensed 480 million Blood God Child clones!"

These 480 million Blood God Child clones can be either incarnations of the Styx Lord or the Styx Lord's true form!

"If we cannot kill all 480 million Blood God Child clones, the Styx Master will still have a sliver of hope!" Jiang Heng said.

The reason why the Lord of the Styx is so difficult to kill is that trying to find 480 million Blood God Children in the vast sea of ​​blood is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Apart from saints, even a peak quasi-saint like Yang Jian would have no chance of killing all 480 million Blood God Sons.

Moreover, simply killing 480 million Blood God Children is still not enough to completely extinguish the Styx Lord's life force.

As long as the Netherworld Blood Sea exists, a new Blood God Child will still be born in the near future, nourished by the Blood Sea's origin.

When that time comes, the Lord of the Styx will have the opportunity to be resurrected, and may be able to reappear in the primordial world.

"A full 480 million Blood God Children! The Styx Master's ability to preserve his life is truly first-rate!" Sun Wukong said.

"No matter how strong your ability to protect yourself is, when death comes, there is still no way to avoid it!" Jiang Heng said.

The moment he spoke, Jiang Heng arrived at the center of the Netherworld Blood Sea, standing in mid-air, and said loudly:

"Styx, do you think that by sacrificing a Blood God Child you can make me believe that you have completely perished?"

"Today, I will completely refine this Netherworld Blood Sea. I want to see how you will hide it!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

Jiang Heng raised his hand and threw five punches in quick succession, instantly condensing the power of the five elements and manifesting five deities.

These are the fourth to eighth forms of the Emperor Fist. The fourth form of the Emperor Fist, "The highest good is like water," transformed into Emperor Zhuan, and the fifth form of the Emperor Fist, "Withered wood meets spring," transformed into Emperor Ku.

The sixth move of the Emperor's Fist, Heavenly Fire Spreads Across the Plains, transformed into Emperor Yao; the seventh move of the Emperor's Fist, Great Virtue Carries All Things, transformed into Emperor Shun; and the eighth move of the Emperor's Fist, Breaking the Sky, transformed into Emperor Yu.

The five emperors manifested together, using the principles of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements to condense their power into a unified whole.

The five emperors each occupied a region, enveloping the entire Netherworld Blood Sea within them, and a mysterious power began to emerge within the Netherworld Blood Sea.

To the utter astonishment of Sun Wukong and the others, the vast Netherworld Blood Sea vanished before their very eyes.

The Netherworld Blood Sea stretches for tens of thousands of miles, and even a Golden Immortal cannot see its end at a glance.

The fact that the Netherworld Blood Sea disappeared at a visible speed demonstrates just how terrifying Jiang Heng's refining speed was at this moment.

The two saints of the Western Sect had already arrived outside the Netherworld Blood Sea, but they had not stepped into it.

"Senior brother! Is this Human Emperor really going to refine the entire Netherworld Blood Sea?" Patriarch Bodhi asked in astonishment.

"This human emperor's methods are often unexpected. He is just an avatar, yet he is so incredibly powerful!"

"Now this Human Emperor is going to completely refine the Netherworld Blood Sea. In my opinion, it's probably not as simple as dealing with a Styx Lord!" Shakyamuni said in a deep voice.

As the saying goes, "A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit!" Having secretly clashed with Jiang Heng so many times, Shakyamuni had gained a certain understanding of Jiang Heng.

In Shakyamuni's view, Jiang Heng, this human emperor, always thought three steps ahead before taking action, and the reasons for each of his actions were never simple.

Just like the time at Flower Fruit Mountain, it seemed that Jiang Heng was helping the Great Sun Tathagata suppress Sun Wukong, thus allowing Mahayana Buddhism to take the initiative in the Journey to the West tribulation.

But now that I think about it, Jiang Heng's actions were not simply about helping the Great Sun Tathagata; Sun Wukong himself was also part of Jiang Heng's scheme.

Today, the reason why Western religion is constantly constrained in the Journey to the West tribulation is mainly due to Emperor Jiang Heng.

Now, Jiang Heng is actually going to refine the entire Netherworld Blood Sea just to deal with a mere Styx Cult Master. This matter is anything but simple.

"Then how should our Western Sect act? Should we just stand by and watch the Human Emperor completely annihilate the Styx Master?" Patriarch Bodhi said in a deep voice.

The two members of the Western Sect also knew some of the secrets of the Styx Lord, and naturally understood that the Styx Lord would not perish so easily.

But now that Jiang Heng is about to refine the entire Netherworld Blood Sea, how can the Styx Lord, no matter how heaven-defying, still have any chance of survival?

If the Lord of the Styx were to be completely killed by Jiang Heng, it would undoubtedly be a huge loss for the Western Sect.

"Let's just wait and see. Even if we both enter the Netherworld Blood Sea, what can we do?" Shakyamuni said in a deep voice.

Patriarch Bodhi was slightly taken aback before realizing that the question was no longer whether the Western Sect should save the Styx Master, but whether they could save him.

Based on the strength Jiang Heng displayed when he killed the Styx Master, could Bodhi Patriarch and Shakyamuni Buddha, even if they joined forces, be a match for Jiang Heng?

It seems that by then, it won't be them rescuing the Styx Lord, but rather two more saintly incarnations who will perish in this Netherworld Blood Sea.

Thinking of this, no matter how unwilling he was, Patriarch Bodhi could only obediently stay outside the Netherworld Blood Sea.

On the other side, after Jiang Heng manifested the Five Emperors and used the power of the Five Elements to refine the Netherworld Blood Sea, the vast Blood Sea began to shrink continuously.

At this rate, it probably won't even take a day for the vast Netherworld Blood Sea to completely disappear.

Seeing this situation, the Styx Lord, who had transformed into the Blood God Child and was hiding in the Netherworld Blood Sea, could no longer sit still.

"Human Emperor, since you insist on such ruthless extermination, I, your ancestor, will fight you to the death!" An angry voice echoed in the Netherworld Blood Sea.

For the first time since his birth, the Lord of the Styx felt the fear of death. He knew in his heart that once the Netherworld Blood Sea disappeared, he would perish completely.

Even ants try to survive, so the Lord of the Styx was naturally unwilling to perish. He was determined to struggle and see if he could find a glimmer of hope.

As the voice of the Styx Lord rang out, the entire Netherworld Blood Sea began to tremble, and amidst the howling winds, towering waves surged forth.

Crimson blood spread across the sky, and dense malevolent energy began to condense. In the next instant, the entire Netherworld Blood Sea began to shrink rapidly.

This does not mean that Jiang Heng has completely refined the Netherworld Blood Sea, but rather that all the blood in the Netherworld Blood Sea has condensed together.

At this moment, the Netherworld Blood Sea seemed to come back to life, transforming into a towering, blood-red demon god that appeared before Jiang Heng.

"You've certainly made quite a show of it, and you look rather impressive, but do you think playing these tricks will work in front of me?" Jiang Heng said disdainfully.

The blood-red demon god before them possessed an incredibly terrifying aura, even more powerful than the previous Lord of the Styx.

Clearly, faced with life and death, the Lord of the Styx could no longer hide anything and directly revealed his greatest trump card.

Just as Jiang Heng said, the Styx Lord has completely merged with the Netherworld Blood Sea, and the Netherworld Blood Sea is the Styx Lord.

The Netherworld Blood Sea is incredibly vast. When the entire Netherworld Blood Sea transforms into the body of the Styx Lord, it will naturally be able to unleash unimaginable power.

At this point, even if Yang Jian were to personally fight the Lord of the Styx, he would likely be the one to lose, not the Lord of the Styx.

Such methods are undeniably powerful, but to think that one could turn the tide with them in front of Jiang Heng is simply too naive.

"Human Emperor! It was you who was determined to fight to the death, but if you want to kill me, your ancestor, you will have to descend in your true form!" the Styx Master said in a deep voice.

"Hahaha! Styx, you overestimate yourself and underestimate me! From the first time I saw you, I never took you seriously."

"Make your move! Don't say I'm not giving you a chance, but you only get one chance. I hope you won't disappoint me!" Jiang Heng said disdainfully.

Even without Jiang Heng saying it, the Styx Cult Leader himself was very clear that he didn't have many opportunities left.

Whether he can survive in Jiang Heng's hands depends on whether he, the Master of the Styx, can shake Jiang Heng, the Human Emperor.

The Crimson Demon God roared to the sky, and terrifying baleful energy surged in all directions, forcing Sun Wukong to retreat repeatedly.

In the next instant, countless blood shadows flew out from the body of the Crimson Demon God. These were the Blood God Child clones formed by the Styx Master from the Blood Sea Origin.

These Blood God Child clones may seem insignificant, but each one is extremely powerful, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would find it difficult to match.

If 480 million Blood God Children swarmed forward, even a quasi-saint level expert would be instantly devoured by the Blood God Children.

Surrounded by 480 million Blood God Children, the Blood God Demon God took a step forward, causing the entire Earthly Immortal Realm to tremble instantly.

The Blood God Demon God's giant hand, brimming with terrifying power, reached forward, instantly shattering layers of space and time, and appearing before Jiang Heng.

With Jiang Heng's cultivation level, it was not difficult for him to see that the Blood God and Demon God actually concealed the two fierce swords, Abi Yuantu and others.

At this moment, the Lord of the Styx had even evolved the Innate Killing Path to its extreme, all in order to deliver a fatal blow to Jiang Heng.

The Lord of the Styx knew very well that he only had one chance. If he couldn't defeat Jiang Heng, his only fate would be death.

Therefore, at this moment, the Lord of the Styx naturally could not hold back in the slightest and unleashed almost all of his power.

An incredibly terrifying power swept over, and even all the living beings in the entire Earthly Immortal Realm seemed to sense it, their faces filled with horror.

Sun Wukong stared solemnly at the blood-red demon god. He was now certain that he was no match for the Lord of the Styx.

If the Lord of the Styx had displayed such strength in his battle against him, even if he hadn't died, he would probably be severely injured by now.

Faced with the Styx Lord's all-out, terrifying attack, Jiang Heng merely smiled slightly and stretched out his hands.

With a single punch, Jiang Heng wanted to show the Lord of the Styx what truly terrifying power was.
