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

Chapter 203 Formation

"That's the situation." After sending Bai Ze away, Di Jun summoned Taiyi, as well as the two Heavenly Empresses Wangshu and Xihe, and explained the current situation to the three of them.

After the ten little golden crows were born under the influence of Heaven's will, Taiyi and the two Heavenly Empresses became Emperor Jun's closest people.

"Elder brother, this—" Taiyi looked at Dijun, hesitating to speak.

Thus, Dijun discussed many things with his family, but in the end, it seemed that they had not reached any conclusion. The two empresses left one after another, leaving only Taiyi by Dijun's side, accompanying his worried brother.

In fact, Di Jun really couldn't come up with any solutions right now. The emergence of the Earth Immortal Path changed the course of the entire Lich-Demon Calamity. The Lich Clan is now an almost invincible force for the Demon Clan.

Di Jun couldn't believe that the demon race could defeat the witch race. Even if the sages would intervene, were there no sages behind the witch race?

Moreover, given the current situation, Di Jun had a premonition that even if the demon race's current strength surpassed that of the witch race, they probably still wouldn't be able to win.

Just like how the Witch Clan repeatedly overwhelmed the Demon Clan, but the Dao Ancestor always intervened to stop them, does the Heavenly Dao—want the Demon Clan and the Witch Clan to perish together?

"Big brother," Taiyi said in a deep voice as he looked at his elder brother.

Taiyi was aware of the current situation of the demon race. Having suffered several major defeats, Taiyi was no longer the invincible supreme being who looked down upon the world in the primordial world, the number one person below the saint.

"Taiyi." Dijun looked at Taiyi, his voice hoarse. It was hard to imagine that such a demeanor would appear on a Heavenly Emperor who held immense power in the primordial world and ruled the Heavenly Court.

"Should we... leave a way out for the Golden Crow Clan?" Taiyi looked at Dijun and asked tentatively.

Di Jun suddenly turned his gaze to Taiyi.

"Brother," Di Jun sighed softly.

Di Jun was well aware that his Golden Crow clan was now in grave danger.

The great war with the Witch Clan is imminent. If the Witch Clan wins, the fate of the Golden Crow Clan is predictable. The Twelve Ancestral Witches are not benevolent people; they have plenty of strength and means.

Only sages can protect people from countless eons, and not just any sage; only the Three Pure Ones are qualified.

The River Styx.

As for the Styx, there's no need to even think about it. Putting aside the distant past, they've already formed a deep karmic connection with the Styx regarding the Heavenly Court incident. Now that the Styx has become a saint, this karmic connection is being seized upon by a saint who won't let go. It's safe to say that, let alone helping them, the Styx will absolutely not let them off the hook.

Regardless of victory or defeat, they will inevitably bear a great deal of karmic consequences in this upcoming great battle. They are all aware of these things, so how could the sages not be aware of them?

Are saints willing to bear this cause and effect, this karma?

Leave a way out for their Golden Crow clan.

Who can leave a way out for the Golden Crow clan?

However, Taiyi is right. The situation is getting worse and worse every day. We really should think about how to leave ourselves a way out.

At this moment, the entire prehistoric world was peaceful. All forces were making preparations in secret, but none of them took any action. Firstly, they were waiting for the end of the cessation of war set by the Dao Ancestor, and secondly, they were waiting for the Styx River to finish its sermon and accept disciples.

Meanwhile, a major event is taking place within the Netherworld Blood Sea.

In the underworld.

"You all, set up the great formation according to my design." Styx looked at the twelve leaders of the Underworld Clan, headed by Styx Xuan, and the rest of the Underworld Clan, and nodded.

Compared to the Heavenly Court's powerful figures who are currently filled with worry, and the several saints who are all harboring their own thoughts but whose lives are not very satisfactory, Styx's life is much more comfortable and pleasant now. In his spare time, Styx has not forgotten to continue to plan for the Underworld Clan and Taoism.

While the Daoist was teaching a group of new Daoist disciples, Styx was not idle either. During this period, Styx deduced a large formation that he had long wanted to deduce.

"Yes, Father God." Mingxuan was undoubtedly the leader of the entire Underworld Clan, and his status was equivalent to that of Dijiang of the Witch Clan. Under his command, the Underworld Clan began to form a battle formation.

Styx raised his hand and flung out a refined array diagram. The twelve leaders of the Underworld Clan, including Mingxuan, quickly used their own magic power to guide the array diagram. Before long, the array diagram emitted boundless divine light, transforming into a mysterious space that enveloped the twelve leaders of the Underworld Clan.

Then, the Styx introduced another magical artifact, a pole or banner, which was put into the control of the nearby underworld race.

This array is called the "Map of Heaven and Earth," and the banner is called the "Banner of Mountains, Rivers, and Soil."

This grand formation consists of two arrays. The former is based on the "Qiankun Heavenly Map" forged from the Great Dao of Qiankun and is guarded by twelve leaders of the Underworld. When the array is complete, it can condense the phantom of the Styx Saint, just as the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Array can condense the phantom of Pangu.

The latter is based on the Mountain and River Banner, which is held by a group of Netherworld races. There are 1,080 banners in total so far. They were made by the Styx River according to the laws of the primordial world, mountains and rivers. They are based on the righteous energy in the heavenly clouds, which draws the righteous energy of heaven and earth, and then draws the power of the primordial world.

However, the latter is not yet complete; currently, it can only draw upon a portion of the power of the primordial world.

This formation was created by Styx with reference to the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation. According to Styx's vision, its complete form should be able to encompass all things in the primordial world, including heaven and earth, stars, mountains, rivers, and so on. Or, it could be described as a super invincible version of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation.

The Zhou Tian Star Array can only draw upon the power of stars in the boundless primordial starry sky, but once this array is completed, it can draw upon the power of the entire primordial world.

However, he cannot complete this grand formation yet. Firstly, the person who sets up the formation must possess the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, which limits them to being a member of the Netherworld Clan. Based on the scale of the Zhou Tian Star Array, the number of Netherworld Clan members required is countless, and the current scale of the Netherworld Clan cannot support it.

Secondly, at any given time, the Heavenly Dao can only accept one array that can draw upon the power of the primordial starry sky, and at this moment, the Zhou Tian Star Array is still in existence, so he cannot refine the Zhou Tian Star Banner.

But it doesn't matter, the Zhou Tian Star Array will soon be gone, and he will then complete the array.

Deducing this formation is not easy, especially one with such boundless power and potential. However, at this moment, for Styx, who possesses great merit and fortune, everything he does and thinks is aided by the heavens. Therefore, it is not too difficult for Styx to deduce this great formation.

Before long, as Mingxuan and the other members of the Netherworld race unleashed their magic, a phantom was born from the space condensed by the Qiankun Heavenly Map.
