Chapter 374 The River of Bloodlines, Houtu's Bloodline, Contending for Nuwa's Bloodline, The Battle of Bloodlines

Upon entering the blood pool of the Witch Clan, Di Xiao felt his body burning hot, and his blood was boiling.

Then the bloodline reverses, soaring within the mind, and transforming into long rivers.

This river is very long, seemingly spanning countless ages. However, along its course, it branches into countless tributaries.

Di Xiao clearly saw that the source of this long river was a being with a human head and a snake's body. That being was enveloped by the endless Great Dao, extremely mysterious and vast, and the aura it emitted made Di Xiao feel close to it.

Di Xiao knew that this was the legendary Goddess Nuwa, the one who created the human race. Therefore, the bloodline of the human race all originated from Goddess Nuwa. And from Goddess Nuwa as the source, the human race's bloodline began to multiply into countless branches.

Through the River of Blood, Di Xiao saw the evolution of his ancestors' bloodline.

The first generation after the pure human bloodline created by the goddess Nuwa married an unknown member of the Wu tribe, thus giving birth to Wu tribe descendants. Then came the second, third, fourth generations… Di Xiao's ancestors either married into the Wu tribe or were married into it. This resulted in the bloodline of Di Xiao's ancestors being filled with the bloodlines of various Wu tribe lineages.

From the sixtieth generation onward, various races' bloodlines emerged within the lineage. There were scaled races, beast races, and all sorts of other races—virtually everything imaginable.

Di Xiao felt a chill run down his spine, but he also knew that his ancestors had multiplied for at least hundreds of millions of generations. With so many generations of ancestors intermarrying with so many races, it was normal for his bloodline to contain so many different races.

As Di Xiao watched, he suddenly noticed the emergence of a divine blade. This divine blade evolved from the River of Bloodline, then flowed upstream along the lower reaches of the river, severing one tributary after another.

The countless branches of the bloodline were gradually pruned, eventually transforming into a single bloodline.

Although the branches were severed, this long river still radiates vibrant colors. Clearly, while the tributaries of various bloodlines were cut off, traces of these races still remain within the bloodlines.

Therefore, the divine blade formed from this river of blood began to stir the river of blood, cutting away its vibrant colors and severing the traces of bloodline within it.

After years of such disturbance, the Bloodline Divine Blade gradually decayed and crumbled.

"Alas... This Bloodline Divine Blade, which severs all the tributaries and complexities of my bloodline, is clearly a manifestation of the Defilement-Slaying Technique I cultivated before. However, the Bloodline Divine Blade formed from the Defilement-Slaying Technique is ultimately not invincible and cannot completely sever all the complex bloodlines within my bloodline."

"Now I seem to have eradicated all the impurities from my body, but traces of many races still remain in the bloodline that has flowed through countless years. Although they are not usually visible and do not affect the purity of my cultivation, these complex bloodlines are ultimately difficult to eliminate."

"That's right. How could a single 'Defilement Severing Technique' possibly eradicate the complex bloodlines passed down through countless generations?"

Di Xiao sighed, but he was also well aware of the limitations of the Severing Impurity Technique. This technique could only remove the impurities from flesh and blood, but it could not remove the racial traces left by billions of generations of reproduction within the bloodline.

While sighing, he also pondered whether it was possible to create a method that could truly eradicate all traces of bloodline.

However, just as Di Xiao was pondering, the bloodline river before him changed once again. Then, it was seen that within the bloodline river filled with colorful hues, even a seemingly insignificant bloodline color was stirred.

With the pull and surge of the Wu Clan's blood pool, it directly transformed into a soaring dragon, displaying terrifying dominance, and washed away the blood imprints of countless races along the long river.

Then it was seen that the numerous bloodline colors formed from the traces and marks left by countless races were actually obliterated by this extremely domineering bloodline.

As it faded away, the colorful river of blood gradually turned gold, then cyan, and finally blood red.

The crimson river flowed wildly, its surging power sweeping over the entire body. Then, at the source of that bloodline, where there was originally only the figure of Nuwa, another figure appeared.

That figure was incomparably noble, radiating both compassion and an indescribable domineering aura. Especially striking was the presence of a vast, powerful earth behind it, imbued with a sense of creation and immense weight. And upon that earth, a phantom of reincarnation was condensed.

Seeing this scene, Di Xiao was deeply moved; "Reincarnation, Houtu... this is the mark of the Ancestral Witch Houtu. I... I have awakened the bloodline of the Ancestral Witch Houtu by relying on the blood pool of the Witch Clan!"

Di Xiao couldn't help but be surprised, as his bloodline was filled with too much Wu Clan blood. Therefore, it was possible that he would awaken any Wu Clan bloodline after jumping into the Wu Clan blood pool. But Di Xiao never expected that he would awaken the bloodline of the Ancestral Witch Houtu.

After all, according to records, Houtu, the ancestral witch, left no descendants among the witch clan. The same was true for the other ancestral witches.

"Could it be that when the Ancestral Witch established the first generation of the Witch Clan's blood pool, a small number of the Witch Clan members who entered it were nourished by the essence and blood of the Ancestral Witch Houtu, and thus obtained a small amount of Houtu's bloodline? Then they combined with the human race, and reproduced their offspring, eventually imprinting themselves into the human race's bloodline."

"And my ancestors also inherited this part of Houtu's bloodline. Is that why I have now awakened the bloodline of the Ancestral Witch Houtu?"

After much thought, Di Xiao could only come up with this one explanation. Now, looking at the bloodline of the Ancestral Witch Houtu, it was like a surging torrent, carrying domineering power and annihilating the bloodlines of countless races.

Ultimately, only two racial imprints remained of Di Xiao's complex bloodline: the human bloodline created by the goddess Nuwa, and the Houtu bloodline.

From countless complex bloodlines, it evolved into the two we have today. Di Xiao didn't know what to say, but fortunately, both of the bloodlines he possessed were extremely powerful.

The human bloodline created by the goddess Nuwa is full of creation and the essence of life. Furthermore, due to the activation of Houtu's bloodline, it is subtly boiling, sweeping away creation and life, and washing over Dixiao's physical body.

Then, the bloodline of Houtu, the ancestral witch, naturally refused to yield to the bloodline created by Nuwa. It spontaneously surged with the profound weight of the earth contained within its bloodline. After all, Houtu herself was the ancestral witch of the earth.

However, within this vast and profound earth lies a mysterious cycle of reincarnation.

This intertwining of aura and Dao essence ultimately led to the emergence of the Great Dao of Creation, the Great Dao of Life, the Great Dao of Earth, and the Great Dao of Reincarnation within Emperor Xiao's bloodline.

These four great paths intertwined within Di Xiao's body, causing him physical pain. Moreover, the battle path that Di Xiao cultivated himself was also imprinted into his flesh and blood through his practice.

For a moment, five Great Daos coexisted within Di Xiao's bloodline. The contact between them resembled a struggle between Daos, causing Di Xiao some discomfort.

"This is troublesome! This awakening of the Wu clan bloodline has brought such a huge problem. In particular, the Great Dao of Creation and the Great Dao of Life, which represent the Goddess Nuwa, and the Great Dao of Reincarnation and the Great Dao of Earth, which represent the Goddess Houtu, are not willing to submit to each other and have started fighting. Is my bloodline going to be the battlefield to decide the winner?" Di Xiao was also dumbfounded. How did such a good opportunity turn into a burden?
