As for Xuan Tian, after hearing what the Dao Ancestor said, he was told to go to the prehistoric world to seek opportunities. After leaving Zixiao Palace, Xuan Tian began to walk on foot in the prehistoric world.
One day, a tremendous roar suddenly erupted from the southern part of the primordial world, shaking the entire land. For hundreds of years, Xuan Tian, in his quest to better understand Hong Jun's intentions, had not only traversed the primordial continent on foot but had also relinquished all his cultivation and abilities, living like an ordinary mortal. He was unaware of Hong Yun's encirclement. Hearing the roar today, he suspected something major had occurred in the primordial world. He quickly calculated the cause and effect, learning that Zhen Yuanzi was currently fighting the Styx River. Remembering his own connection with Hong Yun, he flew towards the Blood Sea.
It is said that Zhen Yuanzi launched a fierce attack with the ginseng fruit tree and forcibly suppressed the Styx. However, his endurance was not strong and he eventually gave in. Just as the Styx was about to kill Zhen Yuanzi, suddenly the sea of blood blurred and a person appeared. It was Xuan Tian. The divine sense hidden in the void was also surprised. What is Xuan Tian doing here?
Xuan Tian knew, of course, that there were many divine thoughts spying in the void, but he didn't care and flew straight toward Zhen Yuanzi and the Styx River.
Styx didn't know why Xuantian had come, but he guessed it wasn't to help him kill Zhen Yuanzi. He thought to himself, "Xuantian's cultivation is profound, and he is also an inner disciple of Ancestor Hongjun, possessing a supreme innate treasure and having the potential to become a saint. He is not comparable to that wretched man Hongyun, and should not be offended." After thinking this, he took the initiative to step forward and bow to Xuantian, saying, "Fellow Daoist Xuantian's visit to my Blood Sea truly honors my humble abode. However, I don't know why you have come here. I still need to settle some karmic debts. Please forgive my lack of hospitality. After I have settled these debts, I would like to invite you to my Daoist temple for a chat, to discuss immortality and the Dao, and to reminisce about old times. I should also fulfill my duty as a host and treat you well."
Xuan Tian raised his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Styx, there's no need to be so polite. I shouldn't have come to disturb you, and I hope you can forgive me. However, I've come here for some karmic reasons, which may conflict with yours. I hope you can grant my request."
"I don't know what cause and effect you mentioned, but if I can help you, I will do so without hesitation."
"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist. My karma is related to the gourd in your possession. That gourd originally belonged to Fellow Daoist Hongyun. Fellow Daoist Hongyun and I have a past relationship. I felt ashamed that I was unable to help him through his tribulation. Now that the gourd is in your possession, I shouldn't interfere. However, Hongyun entrusted his belongings to Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi. I feel ashamed and should do my part to fulfill Hongyun's last wish. I beg you to grant my request. Thank you in advance."
After Xuan Tian finished speaking, Ming He's face turned pale and then blue. He said, "Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but this gourd is not a relic of Hong Yun. It was produced within my Blood Sea."
Xuan Tian's gentle expression changed, his face turning fierce: "How can Fellow Daoist Styx be so shameless? Everyone in the Primordial Continent knows that this gourd belonged to Hong Yun in his lifetime. Yet you still dare to spout nonsense and argue so illogically. Originally, I was still thinking of our past friendship of listening to the Dao Ancestor's teachings together and tried to persuade you with kind words. However, you are stubborn and unyielding. I have no choice but to use my methods and fight you."
"Xuantian, you don't need to say anything more. I will not hand over this gourd. If you want to take it, you'll have to get past me first. Use whatever means you want, and I will accept them all." When Styx saw Xuantian say this, he knew that this matter could not be resolved peacefully, so he tore off his mask. After saying this, he took out his two swords, and ten thousand lotus flowers bloomed from the twelve-grade black lotus beneath his feet to protect himself.
Seeing this, Xuan Tian shook his head as if sighing, threw the Qiankun Gourd onto his head, and a golden light emanated from behind his head. Holding the Boundless Merit Measuring Ruler, he raised his hand and slashed at the Styx River. The Measuring Ruler, like a purple trajectory, was a hundred feet long and attacked the Styx River. When it got close, it was blocked by the lotus flower. Xuan Tian did not care. This attack was just a probing attack. Before the Styx River could retaliate, he closed in, his left hand blasting a Heavenly Thunderbolt at the black lotus, and his right hand holding the ruler to strike the Styx River's head.
The Heavenly Thunder of the Capital is a divine power of Pangu in creating the world. When Hongjun was preaching, he passed down the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder. Only Xuantian could use it because he had the memory of Pangu. Even the Three Pure Ones could not use it. When the thunder encountered the black lotus, it exploded. The lotus petals fell off one by one, and then many lotus flowers were born.
Styx was startled by the divine lightning that created the heavens, marveling at the extraordinary nature of Pangu. Seeing the Measuring Ruler attacking, he drew his twin swords to meet it, intercepting the ruler. However, Styx was unaware that Xuantian was formed from Pangu's brain, and with his unique cultivation techniques, his physical body was now superior even to that of the Ancestral Witches. A single strike from Xuantian likely carried the force of millions of catties. Styx, unaware of Xuantian's strength, recklessly met the attack. In one move, his twin swords were sent flying, and his body was plunged into a sea of blood. It took him quite a while to emerge from the water, but Styx was now like a stray dog, his hair disheveled, his crown lost somewhere, his clothes torn, and traces of blood dripping from the corners of his mouth onto his garments. His face was blackened, and he glared venomously at Xuantian.
With a mighty roar, Styx's body swelled to a height of a hundred feet, and the surrounding blood sea churned, with countless dark red shadows constantly emerging from the blood sea and flying towards Xuan Tian. Styx also recalled his two swords and roared as he attacked Xuan Tian.
Xuan Tian knew from his previous life that Styx used the Blood Sea to sever corpses and refine the Blood Sea clone, which had 480 million Blood God Children. These were extremely vicious; anyone who touched them would have their life essence drained and die. They were truly inhumanly vicious. Moreover, Styx Ancestor's Blood God Children had already cultivated to the level of Formless Gods and Demons, so even the most powerful and yang-based spells could not easily harm them. In this world, how many people who knew the most powerful and yang-based spells had the power to survive to the point of annihilating all 480 million Blood God Children? Therefore, apart from saints, there were not many people in the prehistoric world who were a match for Styx Ancestor.
However, this Blood God Child was extremely filthy, yet it feared the light of merit. At this moment, Xuan Tian was laughing at the Styx for not knowing what was good for it. Countless Blood God Children rushed up, but when they collided with the golden light of merit on Xuan Tian's body, they evaporated like water. Styx felt a pang of heartache at the sight. Knowing that the Blood God Children could not do anything to Xuan Tian, he withdrew them and summoned another person, who was Styx's corpse-slaying incarnation. The person was pitch black. With a wave of his hand, a ten-thousand-foot-long stream of blood attacked Xuan Tian like a water dragon.
