Chapter 123 Arrangements for the Sea of Blood (1)
In fact, it is normal that it cannot be deduced. After all, there are two parties involved in this matter. One is the Pangu Temple, whose secrets are probably beyond even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who has already achieved the Dao. The other party is the Styx River, who, with the Chaos Pearl by his side, is also unpredictable.
It would be strange if they could deduce any clear secrets about the matter since it involves them.
"As Fellow Daoist Laozi said, the matter of the Underworld Clan is indeed something the Styx did to weaken the Demon Clan. We must take action to deal with it," Fuxi replied, looking at Laozi.
Of course, Styx had no intention of specifically targeting the demon race, because there was no need. The Underworld race was involved in many matters and had significant implications because of the high hopes he placed on them. As for the fate of the demon race—as long as the Dao Ancestor was still alive, the demon race would not be able to cause any trouble.
However, from Fuxi's perspective, or rather from the perspective of the great powers of the Heavenly Court, the influence of the Dao Ancestor, who had already attained the Dao, on the prehistoric world was no longer within their consideration.
After all, no one could have imagined that Hongjun now wanted both the Lich King and the Demon King to perish together, and even wanted to use the power of the Great Calamity to greatly weaken the Three Pure Ones.
"With our own strength, I'm afraid we'd be no match for the Styx River," Nuwa said calmly after analyzing the situation.
If they, along with other powerful figures of the demon race, could defeat the Styx, then they could force the Styx to break free of the encirclement on its own, or even make it activate the Purple Heaven Seal—
Without the River Styx, the newly born Netherworld race, the Ghost Immortals and Asuras who have been developing in the Blood Sea for a while, and even the zombies, can all be easily destroyed. At most, they will only bear some karma.
Looking across the entire prehistoric world, which great supernatural being did not experience bloodshed on their path to growth?
But the problem is—defeating the Styx is a real challenge.
Even someone as powerful as Taiyi suffered such a crushing defeat when he fought Styx, let alone them.
The strength of the Styx River has become so great that there is a significant gap between them and the Styx River, a gap that they cannot close in a short period of time.
That's the current situation. They can't defeat the River Styx, and if they can't get past it, everything else is pointless.
Moreover, the Wu Clan is also watching them closely, making them feel like they have a bone stuck in their throats. If they attack the Wu Clan, the Styx will benefit; if they attack the Styx, the Wu Clan will benefit.
"If that great formation is completed, perhaps there will be a turning point?" Di Jun looked at the several Heavenly Emperors present and comforted them, but to be honest, he was not sure himself.
After all, Styx's strength had been genuinely demonstrated to them.
Could that unfinished grand formation be more powerful than the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation?
Which formation is more powerful, the Zhou Tian Star Formation or the Zhu Xian Sword Formation? That is the question. But without a doubt, the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, which was set up by Tongtian, who would later become a saint, and which caused Laozi and Yuanshi to suffer defeats, is definitely stronger than the Zhou Tian Star Formation at the peak of the demon race.
But now, Tongtian is only a Quasi-Saint. The Zhuxian Sword Formation in his hand, together with many Quasi-Saints and Great Luo Golden Immortals of the entire demon race, and in this life, even the Zhou Tian Star Array set up by the Three Pure Ones who have not yet become Saints, it is really hard to say which one is stronger.
"If that's the case, I should go and seek out Fellow Daoist Taiyi to lend him a hand," Tongtian said with a smile as he looked at Dijun.
"Then the future of the primordial world will depend on Taiyi and Fellow Daoist Tongtian." Dijun looked at Tongtian and gave a similarly "high EQ" reply.
"At the same time, we should continue to guide more people with affinity to come to the Thirty-Three Heavens to serve the Heavenly Court."
"The Heavenly Court is the legitimate successor of the primordial world, and it should be so." Yuanshi looked at the people in front of him and analyzed the situation before saying this.
Whether facing the threat from the Wu tribe in the short term or competing with the Styx River in the long term, they need to plan carefully. In this regard, luck is of paramount importance and absolutely indispensable.
The emergence of the Underworld Clan had a tremendous impact on the fortune of the Demon Clan, but since they could not conquer the River Styx in a short time, they could only try to obtain enough fortune from other places.
At this stage, the best way to improve the fortune of the Heavenly Court is to absorb more primordial races into the Heavenly Court and become demons.
"Yes, let the myriad races of the prehistoric world suffer a little longer. I'll bear the blame." Upon hearing this, Di Jun nodded in deep agreement. This was the only way to proceed. Otherwise, if the Styx River or the Witch Clan were to take control of the prehistoric world, the lives of the prehistoric beings would not be able to get through it by simply suffering a little.
"Fellow Daoist Di Jun, what courage! Let's begin!" Yuan Shi looked at Di Jun and nodded. Such matters should naturally be left to Di Jun and his demon clan. The Three Pure Ones only need to wait for the Heavenly Court's fortune to rise.
Meanwhile, the Styx River, which had received numerous blessings and good fortune, didn't feel much.
The Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World could only offer these favors. Before receiving this merit, he already possessed enough merit to instantly become a saint. It could be said that the blessings that merit and fortune could bestow upon him had already reached their limit. Any more merit and fortune would only cause those who dared to scheme against him to be disliked by the Heavenly Dao even more, and for those who were his enemies to have their fortunes dissipate even faster.
"Mingxuan, this treasure is bestowed upon you!" In the Netherworld Blood Sea, Styx raised his hand and pointed. In an instant, boundless darkness rose from beneath the blood sea, and soon after, an incomparably huge sailing ship emerged from the darkness.
The sailboat contained nine terrifying demonic scenes, its hull shrouded in black blood, where countless wronged souls wailed and cried out, causing one to feel all sorts of inner demons at a single glance.
The eight-demon thirteen-masted black blood sailing ship was the acquired karmic treasure he had obtained from the system, which he felt was extremely powerful.
He has no use for this thing. After all, he has innate treasures, a lot of top-grade innate spiritual treasures, and even a lot of top-grade innate spiritual treasures that are in harmony with his own cultivation path. This Black Blood Sailboat with Eight Demons and Thirteen Spears is just going to sit in the warehouse collecting dust if he keeps it in his hands.
Moreover, and more importantly, who is Styx?
He was the foremost benefactor and a person of great merit in the primordial world. In terms of the merits of the Heavenly Dao, no one in the primordial world could surpass him. How could such a compassionate and benevolent person use such an evil treasure?
Since that's the case, why not hand him over to Mingxuan? That way, we can make good use of him.
"Thank you, Father God!" Mingxuan knelt down and said respectfully. To him, Styx, as the creator of the Underworld Clan, was heaven and everything. He was naturally overjoyed to receive Styx's reward.
Styx thought for a moment, then casually flicked his wrist, and a blood law manifested, eventually transforming into a pool.
Nine Netherworld Red Lotus Pool!
With a flick of his wrist, Styx sent over a dozen lotus seeds from the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus falling into the Nine Nether Red Lotus Pool. Soon, the Nine Nether Red Lotus Pool began to absorb the Yin energy from the Blood Sea as nourishment, and the lotus seeds from the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus began to grow under the nurturing of the Nine Nether Red Lotus Pool.
