People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

Chapter 359 Three Corpse Quasi-Saints, Willing to Be the Sword in the Emperor's Hand!

Om-!
A profound Daoist aura emanated from the depths of the Blood Sea, instantly spreading throughout the primordial world. The Dao of blood, slaughter, and other related concepts became even more active at this moment.

The blood mist and turbid air in all parts of the primordial world seemed to boil over, cheering and rejoicing.

This kind of rhythm is not common in the primordial world. Since Pangu created the world, it has only appeared a few times.

As for such extraordinary phenomena that permeate the entire primordial world and can activate the Great Dao, they are extremely rare.

But all the great beings in the primordial world were deeply impressed by this fluctuation.

More importantly, in the past, it only appeared relatively frequently during the time when the Dao Ancestor was preaching, and even then, it would only happen once every few decades.

However, in the last ten or twenty cycles, this Daoist aura has appeared twice.

The first time was in December when he severed his corpse with the Taiyin Star and entered the Quasi-Saint realm.

The second time was when Haotian and the Queen Mother, the two rulers of the Heavenly Court, severed another of their three corpses, further advancing their cultivation and achieving the status of Quasi-Saints with two corpses.

And today is the third time!

The previous two appearances of this Daoist aura were due to someone performing a corpse-slaying ritual, so the appearance of this Daoist aura this time is clearly also due to someone performing a corpse-slaying ritual.

Moreover, the Daoist aura generated when Haotian and the Queen Mother severed their two corpses was greater than when they severed their benevolent corpses in December and became quasi-saints.

This time, both the Daoist aura and the extraordinary phenomena were even greater than when Haotian and the Queen Mother severed their two corpses, which means...

All the powerful beings of the primordial world considered the same possibility. Looking at the strange phenomena around them, they exclaimed in surprise:

"The Daoist aura is so strong this time, and the phenomena are so extraordinary. Could it be that someone has severed their own corpse and become a Quasi-Saint with the Three Corpses?"

"Since the Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao attained enlightenment, there have been very few Quasi-Saints with Two Corpses, let alone Quasi-Saints with Three Corpses. Which great power has taken this a step further, severed the Self-Holding Corpse, and become a Quasi-Saint with Three Corpses?"

The powerful figures, each with their own thoughts, wore expressions of deep contemplation.

Being able to sever both the good and evil corpses is already one in ten thousand. One's foundation, comprehension, and opportunity are all indispensable. Only when all three are present can one sever both the good and evil corpses.

Regardless of the circumstances or background, since the teachings at Zixiao Palace, apart from the Six Sages of Heaven, no other being has been able to sever the Three Corpses.

Even the three emperors of the human race only broke through to the sub-saint realm because of their immeasurable merits; they did not truly sever their three corpses.

This change has naturally attracted the attention of all the great powers.

There are only so many Quasi-Saints with Two Corpses in the Primordial World; it's no secret, and everyone knows it.

These Quasi-Saints of the Second Corpse have varying levels of cultivation, but they share a common characteristic: they have been stuck at the Quasi-Saint level for many years without ever breaking through.

If you were to ask the beings of the primordial world thousands of years ago to rank these Quasi-Saints with two corpses and name the one most likely to sever their own corpse, it would certainly be difficult to give a convincing answer.

But now, a consensus has emerged among all the powerful beings.

In the past, the cultivation levels of those Quasi-Saints with two corpses were not much different.

But after the blood sea flowed into the Netherworld, the Asuras returned to the Asura realm, and the primordial world bestowed a massive amount of merit, the situation of the Styx Daoist changed.

Anyone with eyes can see that Daoist Styx has been stuck at the Second Corpse Quasi-Saint level for so many years, and now he has gained so much merit. As long as he refines this merit, his cultivation will definitely advance further.

In addition, the primordial treasure, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, is also in the hands of the Styx Daoist.

It is obvious that the current Daoist Styx is the one most likely to sever his own corpse and become a Quasi-Saint of the Three Corpses.

So this mysterious Daoist aura is very likely from the Styx River, and it is the Styx Daoist who is cutting off the corpse that holds me!
After realizing this, all the powerful beings showed expressions of shock.

There was just one thing they couldn't understand: if the Styx River was cutting away the corpse that held me, and the Great Dao of Blood and Slaughter was becoming active, there was nothing wrong with that, as these were the Great Daos that the Styx River Daoist primarily cultivated.

However, the boiling blood and filth seemed illogical. This should be related to the authority of the Blood Sea, and the Red Lotus of the Styx River did not seem to have this ability.

Surely Styx didn't use the Crimson Lotus of Karmic Fire to sever the corpse...

"Hmm? Could it be..."

In an instant, the same thought arose in the minds of all the powerful figures, and their expressions became even more shocked.

Back then, the Taiyin Star could be used to sever corpses in December. For the Primordial World, the Blood Sea is also an extremely special and important component. Could it also be used to sever corpses?
In addition, not long ago, Daoist Styx had drawn the waters of the Blood Sea into the Netherworld to elevate the Blood Sea's status. If Styx was using the Blood Sea to sever the corpse, then this strange phenomenon seems plausible.

If we think about it carefully, using the influence of the Blood Sea on the positions of the Primordial World and the Netherworld to bear the corpse of myself might have a better chance of success and a better effect on severing the corpse than the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Moreover, compared to the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, the Blood Sea and the Styx River are more compatible in terms of their status and the Great Dao they cultivate.

In addition to the massive amount of merit Styx accumulated in previous years, if Styx were to use the sea of ​​blood to sever his corpse, he might actually be able to achieve the status of a Quasi-Saint of the Three Corpses!

Time flies, and before we know it, a hundred years have passed.

Om-!
On this day, a mysterious fluctuation once again emanated from the depths of the Blood Sea, and in the blink of an eye, it spread throughout the primordial world.

As a result, the Great Dao of Blood and Slaughter became more active, the blood and filth in the primordial world became more turbulent, and various strange phenomena became more magnificent, which even ordinary beings could see.

However, this time it wasn't someone else who was dismembering the corpse, but rather the person who had previously dismembered the corpse had already successfully done so!
Followed by.

A sound of surging waves echoed from all over the primordial world, and a blood-red ocean emerged from the sky above the primordial world, with four figures rapidly enlarging from within the blood sea.

These four figures were all dressed in blood-red Taoist robes and looked extremely similar, only their expressions were slightly different.

Some of them had smiles on their faces and looked very kind.

Some had serious expressions, looking cold and fierce.

Some were expressionless, as if they had no worldly desires.

The one in the middle appears the most detached, with a calm expression, seemingly in harmony with the Dao. The Great Dao itself emanates from its body, manifesting numerous extraordinary phenomena.

Regardless of whether I've seen this person before, the moment I see them, a name immediately comes to mind—

The River Styx!

This person is none other than the Asura Ancestor, the Lord of the Blood Sea, the Ghost Emperor of the Underworld, and the Styx Daoist who is famous throughout the primordial world!

The Styx Daoist, deep within the sea of ​​blood, slowly opened his eyes, his gaze seemingly containing a surging sea of ​​blood.

The Styx Daoist made the same gesture as the strange phenomenon of a sea of ​​blood in the sky above the primordial world, looking down upon the primordial land.

He didn't look at anyone, but all living beings in the primordial world had a feeling that the Styx Daoist was watching them.

Even quasi-saints felt pressured by this, and some quasi-saints with one corpse didn't even dare to look him in the eye.

"I am Styx, the Lord of the Blood Sea, a First-Rank Emperor of the Underworld, under the jurisdiction of the Central Ghost Emperor. From this day forward, the affairs of the Underworld are my affairs, and the Ghost Emperor's enemies are the targets of my sword!"

As the words of the Styx Daoist faded, the blood, slaughter, and other vital energies of the primordial world, along with the pervasive blood-stained filth, became even more active, as if transforming into countless scarlet swords aimed at all living beings. This scene filled the primordial beings with even greater fear and terror, their faces filled with dread, lest these swords pierce them and end their lives.

Of course, such a thing is impossible. Styx only cut off my corpse, not proved himself to be a saint. How could he do such a thing?
This scene is also just an anomaly, caused by the Styx's dismemberment of the corpse and influenced by his thoughts, resulting in this change.

The next moment, as Styx successfully severed the corpse, these scarlet swords disappeared.

Along with it, the sea of ​​blood in the primordial sky, the unusually active blood, the Great Dao of Slaughter, and the surging blood and filth disappeared. All the strange phenomena vanished, and the primordial world returned to peace, leaving no trace behind.

But all living beings in the primordial world know that things are not like that.

This event has changed the landscape of the primordial world.

In the past, as long as the Quasi-Saints did not appear and the Saints did not emerge, the strongest fighting force in the prehistoric world was the Quasi-Saints.

Although these quasi-saints pursue different paths and have varying strengths, overall, they are in a situation where none of them can defeat the others.

Now that Daoist Styx has successfully severed his own corpse and become the only Quasi-Saint with three corpses in the Primordial World, this balance has been broken.

Unless it's a sub-sage or a sage who makes a move, Daoist Styx is the strongest person in the prehistoric world.

Moreover, Styx is no pushover; he has the Avici Hell and the Yuan Tu by his side, and the Karmic Fire Red Lotus to eliminate karma.

In the past, he was notorious for being unreasonable. He would stab you with a sword if you disagreed with him. If he was in a bad mood or bored, he would even kick a passing dog.

Now that Styx has become the only Quasi-Saint with Three Corpses in the Primordial World, his cultivation is a notch above that of other Quasi-Saints in the Primordial World. Without anyone who can contend with him, it is conceivable that he will act even more recklessly in the future.

If he wanted to target a particular creature or race, it's not necessarily possible to do anything about it.

The words Styx spoke after severing his corpse further revealed his stance as a Quasi-Saint of the Three Corpses. Those races or forces that had grudges against the Underworld in the past were immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

Over the years, the influence of the underworld has grown, and City God Temples can be found in various parts of the prehistoric world.

After a living being dies, underworld officials will come to guide the soul to the City God Temple, and then take them to the Gate of Hell to be judged by the underworld and reincarnate.

Without the guidance of the underworld officials, the time required for a deceased soul to be reborn in the afterlife would increase significantly, and it might even result in losing the opportunity for reincarnation altogether.

From this perspective, building a City God Temple to facilitate the movement of underworld officials is a good thing for all living beings in the primordial world, as it can make life and death in the area surrounding the City God Temple more orderly.

However, from another perspective, this is equivalent to the underworld completely controlling the cycle of life and death of all living beings in the primordial world.

Sometimes, even though a creature's lifespan has run out, it doesn't die. It can linger in the mortal realm for a few more years, hoping to advance its cultivation or make more contributions to its people.

However, once the City God Temple is built, it becomes much more difficult for someone whose lifespan has run out to continue living.

In some well-performing City God Temples, when the lifespan of the surrounding creatures is about to run out, there are already underworld officials waiting nearby. Once their lifespan is exhausted, regardless of whether they are dead or not, they will take away their souls without saying a word.

Death has always been the most feared thing for all living beings in the primordial world, and naturally, they do not want to see such a thing.

Therefore, many forces clashed with the underworld officials, hindering their efforts to capture souls and spirits.

Even worse, some powerful forces prevented the underworld from building city god temples and built their own, capturing the souls of the dead within their territories and coercing the underworld into trade in order to increase the birth rate of their people.

In the past, although the ghosts and gods of the underworld were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to compromise since Yang Xuan had not given them any clear instructions.

As a result, in recent years, these forces have become increasingly unscrupulous in their actions.

But now that Styx has successfully severed the corpse of Zhiwo and immediately stated its position, these forces can no longer remain calm.

The spirits and deities of the underworld must abide by the rules and act accordingly. I haven't done anything too outrageous to them, but the River Styx…

They might not be that honest!

As everyone knows, the Styx Daoist's reasoning is no match for the twin swords of Yuan Tu and Abi. If you want to reason with him, you'll have to take two of his swords first.

If you can withstand it, Styx might listen to a few words from you.

If we can't withstand it, then the Styx swords will prove me right!
Some even believe that Yang Xuan's previous inaction was precisely because he was waiting for Styx to make a move.

Regardless of whether Styx cuts off his own corpse and becomes a Quasi-Saint of the Three Corpses, as long as Styx is willing to help the Underworld, they will not dare to be so presumptuous, and they will have to pay some price.

Having figured this out, they could no longer sit still and hurriedly ordered their disciples or clansmen not to make things difficult for the underworld officials.

Furthermore, they are preparing to apologize, hoping to ease their relationship with the underworld as much as possible. They are not necessarily afraid of ordinary underworld officials or even powerful ghosts and gods.

But as for the Styx Taoist, absolutely no one would want to see him!

Even though these apologies were quite valuable, and they would feel a pang of heartache, they seemed insignificant compared to being confronted by Daoist Styx.

Even those beings who had no prior grudges against the Underworld showed a marked increase in their reverence for it after hearing the statement from the Daoist Styx.

After all, nobody wants to be targeted by the River Styx.

In addition, upon seeing that the Styx River had successfully contained Zhiwo's corpse with its sea of ​​blood, many Great Luo Immortals and Quasi-Saints in the Primordial World showed expressions of sudden realization.

It turns out that, besides the stars in the ancient starry sky, special areas like the Blood Sea can also be used to contain the Three Corpses!
This undoubtedly gives them more options, since the ancient starry sky belongs to the Heavenly Court, and with two Quasi-Saints, Haotian and the Queen Mother, guarding it, it is not an easy thing for them to occupy a star.

But the primordial immortal mountains and blessed lands are different; at least not all of them have quasi-saints presiding over them.

Those powerful beings who already occupied blessed lands were especially overjoyed.

If the Styx River can use the Sea of ​​Blood to contain my corpse, then can they also use their own blessed lands to sever corpses?

Although their blessed lands and status cannot compare with the Blood Sea, their good or evil corpses are not as difficult to slay as the Corpse of My Own.

In an instant, all the great powers of the prehistoric world paid significantly more attention to the sacred mountains and blessed lands throughout the prehistoric world.

They might be reinforcing the formations of their own blessed land, searching for undiscovered grotto-heavens, or preparing to seize other people's grotto-heavens.

At the same time, these powerful beings' desire to join the Heavenly Court and the Underworld became even stronger.

When Haotian and the Queen Mother severed another corpse, they were thinking that perhaps the reason why December was able to think of severing the corpse with the Taiyin Star was related to Yang Xuan.

The fact that Styx can now sever corpses with a sea of ​​blood is inextricably linked to Yang Xuan.

In that case, wouldn't all four people who successfully dismembered corpses in recent years be connected to Yang Xuan?

Even if the environment of the prehistoric world has undergone unknown changes, making it easier to sever corpses, the fact that four people have successfully severed corpses in succession is still related to Yang Xuan.

This inevitably raises the question: does Yang Xuan possess some special ability that allows him to help people dismember corpses?
Although this idea has no basis whatsoever and is just a guess, it concerns the dismemberment of the corpse, so how can we not take it seriously?

Suddenly, even more powerful beings were preparing to set off for the Heavenly Court and the Underworld...
