Primordial Era: A Counterattack Against Hongjun Daozu at the Start

"Avici Soul Suppression! Yuan Tu Immortal Slaying!" The Styx Ancestor rode the waves of the Netherworld Blood Sea, and the killing domain formed by the combination of his two swords actually solidified the void within a hundred feet.

Zhou Yi felt that the laws of time and space around him suddenly sluggish, and even his fingertips could hardly move.

At the critical moment, nine dragon-shaped qi burst forth from his body, and the golden Dao patterns unique to the Ancient Sacred Body instantly covered his cheeks.

The crimson sword energy tore through the protective aura with overwhelming force, and Styx smirked coldly.

Amidst the gasps of countless human cultivators, Zhou Yi's body, comparable to divine iron, shattered like glass, turning into a shower of crimson-gold blood that rained down upon the summit of Mount Buzhou.

The Blood Sea Ancestor stood proudly in the void, with the Twelve-Petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus blooming beneath his feet: "No matter how outstanding your talent, you will ultimately be unable to escape the calamity of death."

Just as everyone was grieving, a strange change occurred. The scattered golden blood suddenly emitted a chaotic blue light, and a chanting sound like a great bell resounded in the void.

The blood droplets coalesced into a human form as if time had reversed. Zhou Yi, enveloped in the primordial energy of Xuanhuang, stepped out from the radiance, his left eye revealing the Yin-Yang fish, and his right eye reflecting the stars of the heavens.

"This...this is clearly the sign of a saint's fall." Styx's pupils contracted sharply, and the Yuan Tu Sword in his hand trembled uneasily.

Half of a jade book shimmering with primordial purple energy appeared on Zhou Yi's chest; it was none other than the long-lost "Book of Creation".

The mountain breeze suddenly transformed into a vortex of gale, and the shattered sacred body underwent a miraculous rebirth in an instant.

The Fire God's staff burst forth with boundless light, illuminating the entire shattered battlefield. Zhou Yi raised his hand to wipe the golden blood from the corner of his mouth, and nine celestial caves manifested behind him: "I must thank the Sect Leader for this sword strike, which helped me break through the final barrier between life and death."

Before the words were finished, a muffled rumble of thunder suddenly came from beyond the Trayastrimsa Heaven, as the Primordial Calamity Clouds began to gather.

Seeing Zhou Yi's body emanating a mysterious yellow aura, and his shattered body reforming itself in the blood mist, the Styx Lord's pupils suddenly contracted.

He clearly remembered that the annihilation sword energy he had unleashed had shattered the opponent's three souls and seven spirits, but now it was as if it had pierced into nothingness and had no effect whatsoever.

"Of the three thousand great paths, there is always a glimmer of hope. If you can comprehend the laws of life and death, perhaps you can break my cycle of reincarnation."

Nine-colored rays of light flowed from Zhou Yi's fingertips, and his seemingly casual words contained profound Taoist wisdom.

The god-slaying sword energy that had just been carrying the essence of the Blood Sea was indeed dangerous. It not only shattered his indestructible body into countless fragments, but also nearly burned his primordial spirit in his sea of ​​consciousness to ashes.

At the critical moment between life and death, the secret of the previous character suddenly appeared in the mind.

This secret technique, originating from the ancient era, burst forth with brilliant Dao patterns, forcefully carving out a fleeting moment of life in the long river of annihilation.

The secret of the character "者" immediately triggered the power of primordial reconstruction, and the Dao embryo was reassembled from the shattered void like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

"Even at the end of its strength, it dares to bluff." The Styx Master noticed something amiss as his blood-red robes churned. Although the Daoist aura around the opponent had been restored, his vital essence was still like a candle flickering in the wind.

The Yuan Tu Sword in his hand exuded a scarlet aura, and the mountains and rivers trembled wherever the sword's edge pointed: "I only need to draw upon thirty percent of the power of the Blood Sea, and the living beings in this territory will instantly turn into blood food."

This threat was not unfounded.

The images of all living beings within a radius of ten thousand miles were reflected in the Styx Blood Eyes. As long as he activated the Asura Path Origin, he could indeed annihilate the entire ancestral land of the human race during the intervals of Zhouyi's meditation.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi revealed a cryptic smile, and nine golden wheels of laws suddenly appeared above his head. Each golden wheel corresponded to a certain fundamental Dao, intertwining to form a profound celestial chart: "Do you know why the ancient great beings all called me the Eternal Universe Dao Venerable?"

Before the words were finished, the nine golden wheels exploded with a roar, transforming into a sky full of starlight that flowed into his entire body.

Zhou Yi clenched his five fingers loosely, and a dazzling rosy light bloomed in his palm, revealing a celestial root flowing with chaotic energy.

The crystal-clear, jade-like fruit droops with a nine-colored halo; it is the innate peach spirit plant that was exchanged from the treasure vault of myriad realms back then.

The fruit pulp melts in your mouth, its boundless vitality like a galaxy rolling back, the broken meridians are rebuilt at a speed visible to the naked eye, and golden waves surge forth again from the decaying dantian.

"This...this is clearly a spiritual root from the beginning of chaos, how could it have fallen into this boy's hands?" The Styx Master's blood-red robes fluttered without wind, and the twelve-petaled karmic fire lotus flickered uncertainly beneath his feet.

He clearly remembered that three days ago, he used the Hetu and Luoshu to deduce the secrets of heaven and calculated that the source of the Book of Changes was exhausted before daring to make a move. But now, the opponent's aura was like the rising sun.

A blood-red river surged in the void, reflecting the ferocious face of the Asura King.

Styx naturally recognized that such a treasure, capable of enabling a Quasi-Saint to reshape his Dao foundation, should have been the hoard of those old monsters outside the Thirty-Three Heavens.

He summoned the Nine Netherworld Thunder with a fingertip gesture, but it was completely swallowed up by the Xuanhuang Mother Qi rising around Zhou Yi. He forcibly extended his life with the Chaos Spiritual Root. Even guests in the Zixiao Palace would feel the pinch from such a method.

"I'd like to see just how many rare and precious treasures you can squander!" The Abyssal Sword flashed with a blood-red light, and a resolute glint flashed in Styx's eyes.

He painstakingly planned for a century to lure out the true form of the Demon Master, and even sacrificed three Blood God Child clones to severely injure Zhou Yi. How could he let a change of events ruin everything?

Six phantom images of reincarnation emerged in the crimson Dao Domain, and the wails of billions of living beings echoed from each vortex.

Zhou Yi wiped the golden blood from the corner of his mouth, and the "Hongmeng Record" shone brightly from the depths of his consciousness.

He knew all too well that using the elixir of immortality to heal his wounds was like quenching thirst with fine wine, but faced with the Styx's massacre array, the only hope for survival was to fight to sustain himself.

His gaze swept over the trembling human city beneath the blood-red sky, and the Daoist essence of the Chaos Green Lotus quietly condensed in his palm.

"If you dare to harm even the slightest one of my people..." The Zhou Tian Star Chart appeared behind Zhou Yi, and the starlight of the Twenty-Eight Mansions pierced through the blood mist. "I will then shatter the Netherworld Blood Sea and condemn the Asura race to eternal damnation."

Before he finished speaking, the not-yet-fully-refined essence of the peaches within his body suddenly boiled, forming a primordial phenomenon above his head.

The Lord of the Blood Sea's eyes flashed crimson light, and his body surged with blood energy as he declared, "If I were to wash the mortal realm in blood right now, how could you ants possibly survive?"

Zhou Yi stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering even without wind: "Why not give it a try? Let's see whether the Asura race will be wiped out first, or the human race will be slaughtered first, but..."

His tone suddenly turned sharp: "Nuwa created humankind, and Taiqing established the religion. If you dare to harbor thoughts of annihilating your race, the thunder of the heavens will descend in an instant."

The Lord of the Blood Sea had a somber expression. He knew full well that these words were true. When the Dao Ancestor divided the world into six realms, he had secretly concealed a sacred secret within the fate of the human race. If the Heavenly Dao were truly angered, not only the Asura race, but even the very foundation of the Blood Sea would be reduced to ashes.

Suddenly, spatial ripples appeared in the sky, and the aura of Pangu broke through the boundaries. The might of the Twelve Ancestral Witches fell like stars, causing the sea of ​​blood to churn endlessly.

The Lord of the Blood Sea's pupils constricted sharply as he recalled that when the thick earth transformed into reincarnation, it was this blue-robed human who stood by his side, wielding his pen to determine the fate of the world.

"Today's debt will be repaid tomorrow." The Lord of the Blood Sea transformed into a towering wave of blood and fled, leaving behind a lingering roar of resentment in the void.

Zhou Yi watched the powerful enemy retreat, then turned to Elder Suiren and said, "Hang the Great Roc's physical form atop Mount Buzhou. Issue an order to all tribes: All of my human people may share in the flesh and blood of this beast."
