Primordial Era: The true lineage of Pangu, which Styx River is this?

Chapter 191 Peak of Calamity Qi

Time passed second by second. In the primordial world, the witch and demon races accumulated their strength, preparing for the earth-shattering battle that was about to take place.

The sages, on the other hand, were high above, exploring the landscape of the primordial world from a different perspective.

During this period, some minor incidents occurred. For example, Hongyun left the Heavenly Court and joined the Western Religion, becoming its vice leader. However, Zhen Yuanzi was unable to escape the karma of the Heavenly Court. The reason is simple: there are saints not only in the West.

As a quasi-saint, and with Zhunti and Jieyin owing Hongyun a great deal of karma, neither the Three Pure Ones nor Nuwa stopped Zhunti and Jieyin from trying to rescue Hongyun from the Great Tribulation. After all, they couldn't possibly push the two saints to the brink of despair.

But Zhen Yuanzi wanted to leave? Not a chance.

If even the powerful beings at the Quasi-Saint level in the Heavenly Court could leave whenever they wanted, then the Heavenly Court would eventually collapse under the immense pressure from the Witch Clan. The current Witch Clan is far stronger than the original one, and with the Celestial Court acting as its accomplice, the Witch Clan's destruction of the Heavenly Court is something the Saints cannot allow.

Moreover, not everyone has two saints behind them to help them, and not everyone is willing to lend a hand and pull them out of the center of the great calamity.

Looking across the entire prehistoric world, only Fuxi and Hongyun have such qualifications.

"Hongyun's fate has changed; in fact, it has been swapped with Zhen Yuanzi's." After some deduction, in the Netherworld, Styx, lying high on the Twelve-Petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus, made the deduction.

In the original primordial world, Hongyun was besieged and killed by Kunpeng and other powerful beings because of the Primordial Purple Qi. In the end, his remnant soul escaped to the Blood Sea and was completely eliminated by the original Styx River. Zhen Yuanzi, on the other hand, always stayed out of worldly affairs and cultivated in seclusion. At the end of the Lich War, he even sheltered many humans who fled to Longevity Mountain. In addition, with the title of the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, all of this accumulated a lot of merit and fortune for Zhen Yuanzi.

Only then could the opponent achieve the feat of making a move in the Journey to the West.

Now that Hongyun has joined the Western Religion, this matter is a mixed blessing. The misfortune is minor, but the West is impoverished, and life there will certainly not be as good as in the East for some time.

Good fortune will come later. The West will eventually prosper. Moreover, neither Zhunti nor Jieyin are narrow-minded or intolerant. In the future, as the West gradually prospers, Hongyun's status, position, and even cultivation will inevitably rise along with the Western religion's fortune.

Hongyun, a true immortal of good fortune, is kind-hearted and quite compatible with the Western Sect and the future Buddhist sect. Perhaps this time, Hongyun will achieve something different, far surpassing his previous accomplishments.

And Zhen Yuanzi—

That's probably difficult.

His Earth Book is sufficient to protect him from most powerful beings. However, according to Styx's calculations, the intensity of this Lich Calamity will far exceed that of the original Lich Calamity. After all, Styx knows better than anyone how the Wu Clan has grown to where it is today.

Moreover, this time, since the bodies of the Twelve Ancestral Witches have already merged with Mount Buzhou, and the Witch Clan has also practiced the Path of Earth Immortals, which has a great connection with the Xuanmen (Mysterious Sect), the Heavenly Dao, for the sake of the mainstream of the Xuanmen in the prehistoric world, will certainly not allow the Witch Clan to be wiped out, just like the original prehistoric world.

However, a decline, like that of the dragon race, is inevitable, while the demon race will suffer even more.

Facing the Heavenly Court of the Wu Clan now, the pressure they face is far greater than that faced by the Demon Clan in the original prehistoric world. In the original prehistoric world, the Demon Clan only managed to fight the Wu Clan to the death because they seized the opportunity when Gonggong and Zhurong of the Wu Clan relinquished their positions, and Houtu underwent reincarnation and was no longer the Ancestral Witch. At the same time, they forged the Slaughtering Witch Sword with the essence and soul of the human race, which was enough to break through the true form of the Ancestral Witch.

It's hard to imagine what the final fate of Di Jun and the others will be this time. However, Styx thinks that Di Jun and Taiyi will probably have a hard time surviving until the next great calamity.

Because of this, Styx had long planned for this. Previously, when Dijun and the Three Pure Ones were vying for the Heavenly Court, he had devised a scheme to...

Taiyi has created karma, and the end of the Lich War will be the time for karma to be severed.

It can be said that even if Di Jun and Tai Yi survive this great calamity, Styx will still take action to subdue them after the calamity ends. This is not for any other reason than that the River Chart, the Luo Book, and the Chaos Bell are enough to make him take action.

Taiyi's Chaos Bell is a rare innate treasure. As the most balanced innate treasure, in Styx's eyes, its value is even greater than that of the Pangu Banner and the Taiji Diagram!

And so, the primordial world fell into a strange calm. Apart from the occasional minor incident, nothing else of great importance happened. However, it was clear to all that the calm concealed a turbulent undercurrent.

The Wu tribe is preparing for war and has assembled an unprecedentedly large army. This is completely different from the previous battles, which only involved the twelve ancestral witches and were resolved by the Two Capitals Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation. Clearly, at this moment, the Wu tribe has decided to stake its fate on this battle and achieve a complete victory in one fell swoop.

On the Heavenly Court side, the demon race is constantly perfecting the Zhou Tian Star Array, absorbing races and powerful beings from the primordial world who were persecuted by the witch race and unwilling to join the Celestial Court, rapidly improving their overall strength.

The two sides engaged in a frenzied, primordial arms race until Dijun's child was born.

Under the influence of destiny and the general trend, Emperor Jun's children, ten golden crows, were also born. With the birth of the ten little golden crows, the fortune of the entire Heavenly Court was greatly boosted, and the decline after Hongyun left the Heavenly Court and the sages stayed out of it was slightly halted.

With the birth of ten golden crows, the calamity energy between heaven and earth has reached its peak.

Outside Kunlun Mountain.

When Di Jun and Tai Yi arrived at this place, they were filled with emotion as they looked at the still beautiful and peaceful scenery. Kunlun Mountain was truly a rare blessed land.

Occasionally, some creatures hunt within the Kunlun Mountains, but they all act with restraint, because at this moment, the majority of those within the Kunlun Mountains are disciples of the Jie Sect. The Kunlun Mountains are the sacred grounds of saints, and no matter how ignorant they may be, they will not commit mass killings.

In the outside world, it is not easy to find such a pure land that is free from the frenzied killings and unaffected by the calamity.

"The three sages, Moral Celestial Venerable, Primordial Celestial Venerable, and Tongtian Sect Master, are here to pay our respects. Emperor Jun and Taiyi of the Heavenly Court have come to visit!" Emperor Jun and Taiyi exchanged a glance, then looked towards Kunlun Mountain and said in unison.

With the deadline set by the Dao Ancestor for ending the war fast approaching, and the fact that they still don't know the method Yuanshi mentioned for defeating the Wu tribe, how can this be allowed?

We should ask the Primordial Sage.

"Please, Your Majesties." A soft and ethereal voice rang out. After a short while, Di Jun and Tai Yi felt slightly dazed. When they came to their senses, they were already in the Jade Void Palace.
