Primordial Era: I, Tongtian, will slay all enemies!

Tongtian sat on the prayer mat in Biyou Palace, gazing in the direction of the Western Sect, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

"Alright, it's time to begin!" Immediately, Tongtian turned around and sped towards the Netherworld Blood Sea.

While meditating deep within the Netherworld Blood Sea, Styx's powerful divine sense instantly detected Tongtian's aura.

It was a kind of oppressive aura that made his heart tremble. He dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately stepped out of the sea of ​​blood. He was wearing a blood-red robe with faint blood energy flowing on it.

"I wonder what brings the Sage of Heaven to this barren place? Is there anything you wish to instruct me on?"

Styx bowed respectfully to Tongtian, but in his heart he was wondering what Tongtian's intentions were, after all, he did not want to be inexplicably involved in any trouble.

Tongtian, his expression majestic, stared at the Styx River with eyes as sharp as lightning, and asked directly, "Do you want to become a saint? Do you know about the Investiture of the Gods?"

Upon hearing this, Styx felt a chill run down his spine. This was a catastrophe that would sweep across the primordial world, and countless lives would perish in it.

"I am aware of this, but I have never been involved in worldly affairs or committed any acts of violence. I ask for your understanding, Your Majesty."

He secretly rejoiced, feeling that his words would extricate him from this troublesome matter.

"Foolish! What you cultivate is the Path of Slaughter, which naturally involves killing heaven, earth, and all living beings. Do you think you can succeed by staying cooped up in this Netherworld Blood Sea every day?"

The heavenly voice echoed above the Netherworld Blood Sea, each word striking the Styx River's heart like a heavy hammer.

Upon hearing this, Styx was jolted awake from his reverie, and the words "The Great Path of Slaughter, Slaughter Heaven, Slaughter Earth, Slaughter All Living Beings" kept echoing in his mind.

He began to reflect on his spiritual practice over the years, and a sense of shame and resentment welled up in his heart.

About an hour later, under the watchful gaze of Tongtian, the aura of the Styx River began to rise wildly. His blood energy surged around him, as if it would ignite the entire Netherworld Blood Sea.

His cultivation, which had been stagnant, broke through like a burst dam, directly reaching the peak of Quasi-Sainthood.

A look of wild joy flashed in Styx's eyes, and he immediately bowed respectfully in gratitude, "Many thanks to the Sage Tongtian! A single word from you is worth more than a million years of my arduous cultivation!"

Tongtian looked at the Styx River and nodded slightly. "It seems you have grasped the meaning of killing, fellow Daoist. Would you then be willing to participate in the Investiture of the Gods calamity?"

"The Investiture of the Gods is indeed dangerous, but it also presents tremendous opportunities, and I am indeed interested in participating."

"This is your wish, fellow Daoist, but I advise you not to oppose me. You are welcome to try and see if I can dry up the Netherworld Blood Sea!"

After Tongtian finished speaking, his eyes were sharp as swords, and a murderous intent that seemed to be tangible shot toward the Styx River, as if he wanted to kill him instantly.

Styx felt the chilling killing intent and broke out in a cold sweat. "I am aware of it, Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Tongtian's eyes calmed down again. "Then I will grant you another opportunity. There is the Asura Path in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and you belong to the Asura Clan. There should be six Earthly Saints. Think it over carefully, fellow Daoist."

Having said that, Tongtian reached out and grabbed into the depths of the Netherworld Blood Sea, his powerful magic plunging into the sea like a dragon emerging from the ocean.

Styx was startled. He had been in this sea of ​​blood for countless years and had never discovered anything special.

Just then, a mosquito appeared in Tongtian's hand. The mosquito exuded an ancient aura, as if it came from the beginning of time.

With a wave of his hand, Tongtian transformed the mosquito into human form. His face was filled with terror, and he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "Sage, spare my life! Sage, spare my life!"

Styx was also very surprised. He never expected that there would be such a creature in the Netherworld Blood Sea.

"Sage, who is this person?"

Tongtian ignored Styx and looked at Mosquito Daoist, "The Primordial Beast, Bloodwing Black Mosquito, I need your help. Are you willing?"

Upon hearing this, Mosquito Taoist hesitated for a moment, but quickly made up his mind, "Therefore, I do not dare to ask for anything more."

He knew that although he had lived a long life, he had no choice but to submit to Tongtian. Moreover, if he could cling to the sage's coattails, he might still have a chance to survive.

Tongtian nodded after hearing this, then looked at Styx and said, "I will take this mosquito with me. Fellow Daoist, please consider my words carefully."

As soon as the voice fell, Tongtian's figure flashed and disappeared into the Netherworld Blood Sea, leaving only Styx alone.

Styx gazed in the direction where Tongtian had disappeared, his heart unable to find peace for a long time. He began to ponder the matter of the Investiture of the Gods.

Just as Tongtian returned to Biyou Palace, a voice resounded throughout the prehistoric world: "This humble Daoist, Duobao, today withdraws from the Jie Sect and joins the Western Sect, becoming the chief disciple of the Sage Zhunti!"

The moment these words fell, the entire prehistoric world was shocked. Duobao held an extremely high position within the Jie Sect, being its senior disciple; no one would have imagined he would betray the sect. Upon hearing this, the members of the Jie Sect were enraged.

Zhao Gongming was in his cave at the time. When he heard the voice, a flash of anger appeared in his eyes, but he calmed down after a while.

"Impossible! Senior Brother became a disciple of Master early on; he would never betray Master so easily!" He then flew towards Mount Sumeru.

Tongtian, in Biyou Palace, watched the direction Zhao Gongming had left in, muttering, "That kid, so impulsive!"

"Where are the Six Immortals who attend to me?" As soon as Tongtian finished speaking, Wuyunxian and the others appeared in front of him instantly.

"Gongming has gone to the Western Sect. You all go and support your junior brother!"

"Disciple receives the decree!"

Immediately afterwards, the Six Immortals chased after Zhao Gongming, while Tongtian separated an avatar, concealed by the law of concealment, and flew towards the Western Sect with the Blood-Winged Black Mosquito.

Zhao Gongming was extremely fast, rushing towards Mount Sumeru like a shooting star.

On Mount Sumeru, Duobao sensed Zhao Gongming's presence and couldn't help but feel worried.

"Duobao, an old friend of yours has come to visit. Aren't you going out to catch up?"

"Master, you are too kind. The past is the past, and I have long forgotten it. There are no old friends left."

"Let's go see him. Perhaps he has something to say. And if he intends to harm our Western Religion, I urge you, young friend, to protect our Western Religion!"

Jieyin's words clearly showed that he still didn't quite believe Duobao would betray the Jie Sect and join the Western Sect, while Zhunti, standing to the side, did not share this view and instead showed a protective attitude towards Duobao.

"Senior brother, you've gone too far! Duobao is now a disciple of our Western Sect. It's only natural that he can't bring himself to kill a former fellow disciple. Why do you have to force him like this?"

"Junior brother, you..."

"My two teachers, please don't argue for my sake. I have already severed ties with the Jie Sect, so why would I defend them? I'll go right now!"

Jieyin nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, while Zhunti was somewhat dissatisfied. "Duobao, this is a blessed pestle. You may take it. It doesn't matter if you are no match for it!"

"Thank you, Master Zhunti!"

At this moment, Zhao Gongming arrived at the foot of Mount Sumeru and shouted loudly, "Duobao, do you really intend to betray the Jie Sect? Have you forgotten your teacher's teachings?"

After hearing this, Duobao stood up and walked towards Zhao Gongming.
