Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1744 New Life in a Sea of ​​Blood

Huanglong was sent flying backward by a palm strike from the Styx River.

Those who frequently get hit know that this kind of backward flight is actually a good way to deflect force. Huanglong has a lot of experience in reducing damage. No matter how many variations of this move you have or how many hidden spells you have, I'll just fly for a while. At this time, the flight is both graceful and standard. The buttocks are back, the body is leaning forward, and the sword is used to defend against the front and prevent the enemy from continuing to attack.

Then came a loud "bang".

Huanglong flew downwards at a 45-degree angle, smashing a large, penetrating hole in the cave wall with its body, and flew directly from the main hall with stone pillars to the side hall in one breath.

He felt as if he had hit something soft and squishy when he landed. Based on the feel and the screams coming from all around, he guessed it was a living creature, or perhaps a female.

"I apologize, I was careless for a moment. Oh my! They are mermaids?!" He was extremely surprised. Looking around, he saw that hundreds of mermaids were gathered on both sides of this strange underground river.

"Beyond the South China Sea live mermaids who live in the water like fish. They do not neglect weaving, and when they weep, pearls come out of their eyes." This is a saying recorded in many ancient books.

Mermaids are not mermaids. If you have to compare them, they might resemble the black mermaids of Hollywood. These creatures have green skin and black scales, look like demons, are extremely fierce, enjoy skinning people, and live in the South China Sea year-round.

However, the merfolk are no longer seen in the ancient world. Many immortals who like to write books say that they have long been extinct.

Because mermaid tears are formed from the essence and blood of mermaids, they can stabilize the soul, strengthen the divine sense, and resist a certain degree of interference from inner demons when breaking through minor realms. They can be swallowed directly without the aid of any spiritual materials, making them a rare treasure in the prehistoric world.

With so many advantages, and lacking sufficient military force to protect themselves, their fate was predictable.

Like many ancient people, Huanglong always believed that the merfolk had become extinct ten thousand years ago. He never expected to see so many merfolk in the depths of the Blood Sea.

His knowledge, after all, came from his training in the Chan Sect. With just a glance, he could tell that these merfolk were not old, weak, sick, or disabled. On the contrary, they were likely the elite of their race. Many of them possessed magical power comparable to Earth Immortals and Celestial Immortals, making them more than capable of serving as clan leaders within their own tribe.

In other words, there were hundreds of merfolk who could become clan leaders at this time, and several blood god clones who looked very much like Styx were whipping these merfolk and forcing them to shed tears.

Why mermaid tears? Huang Long pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized that the strange creature in the stone pillar needed mermaid tears to stabilize its soul. Mermaid tears are a pure natural spiritual material, unlike pills, which can cause poisoning or drug resistance if consumed in excess. A single drop of mermaid tears is equivalent to the entire essence and blood of a mermaid, and if external conditions permit, it can be consumed indefinitely.

Huang Long believed he had discovered a great secret. He looked up sharply and gazed into the distance.

This place is like an underground city, crisscrossing and of unknown size. The weeping merman is just the tip of the iceberg.

Even after death, the souls of many powerful members of the Asura clan could not find peace. They were controlled by magic and fought to the death in a bottomless pit. Their resentment was extracted and absorbed by the stone pillars.

Countless bison lay dead on the mountainside, surrounded by a large number of Asuras wielding swords. Each bison had a bloody hole in the center of its eye. The Asuras would kill a bison and take only a drop of its essence blood, which had long since gathered into a great river. The essence in the river was all absorbed by the stone pillars.

More than a hundred true dragons let out mournful howls. Their limbs were severed and they were nailed to the mountaintop. Like blood-making machines, their life essence was forcibly extracted by the strange formation, with the most refined part being absorbed by the stone pillars.

Everything in this underground city was arranged around that strange stone pillar. The pillar had accumulated such enormous power; it certainly wasn't meant to benefit the primordial world. "Outrageous! Outrageous!" Huanglong Zhenren rarely lost his temper.

He didn't recognize those dragons, but the sorrow of losing a rabbit is a source of grief for the fox. He wasn't a fox; he was a dragon with the same bloodline, and the grief felt even heavier at that moment.

"Hold on a little longer, and I will surely bring reinforcements to rescue you!" he shouted from afar, then took off running.

He would run towards whichever part of the underground city was bustling or looked particularly complicated.

Styx was much faster than him, but the construction of this underground city had consumed too much energy and resources. All the arrangements were for "blood supply" to the stone pillars. If one link went wrong, all their arrangements over the years could collapse.

He was hesitant to use his powerful moves, as he was afraid of inadvertently harming others.

One has extensive experience in escaping, while the other has only average experience in pursuing.

The final result was that Huanglong Zhenren revealed his true form as a dragon. Accompanied by a loud dragon roar, he spewed out countless clouds and mists. Just as the Styx Ancestor dispersed the clouds and mists, Huanglong, despite his head being broken and bleeding, crashed into a rock wall and forcibly broke out of the underground city.

"You rats who only know how to run away!" Styx wanted to continue the pursuit, but he was worried that something might happen to the Blood God on the other side of the stone pillar. The Primordial Heavenly Dao had already noticed this place, so he had to be careful.

If I were to chase after Huanglong and then have my base raided, that would be a real disaster.

"I'll spare your worthless life this time!" He unleashed a divine sense filled with intense killing intent. Countless resentful eyes flashed before Huanglong's eyes. He groaned and almost fell from the clouds. Fortunately, the distance was too great, and the Styx River wasn't at its peak, which allowed him to remain conscious and fly back to the Tower of Babel.

Somewhere in the sea of ​​blood.

Deng Chanyu and Yunxiao are enjoying a scenic trip with their child.

A normal person would never find anything to see here. It's all red sun and blood-red mountains, even the rocks are red. What's there to see? Won't you have nightmares after seeing this?
Fortunately, Yunxiao is no normal person. He is a character who has survived countless battles and bloodshed. What is this scenery to him?
They quickly found activities to entertain themselves.

Deng Chanyu exclaimed in amazement, "Her skin is so fair, and her feet are so white too. Look at her toes, they're so cute!"

Yunxiao nodded: "Indeed, they have great legs, they must be very good at running."

The newborn white tiger cub roared at them, as if to say, "I'm not someone to be trifled with," which made the two women burst into laughter.

The fact that this little thing was born in the Blood Sea is an anomaly. From a higher perspective, it shows that the Styx River's rule over the Blood Sea has become flawed. It is no longer a scene of blood red from top to bottom. New life can grow up smoothly without bearing the sins of the Blood Sea. In this sense, the Jie Sect's conquest of the Blood Sea was actually a good thing.
