Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

The Netherworld Blood Sea.

This is the most yin and evil place in the world, formed from the filthy blood of Pangu, and gathering boundless evil energy from the primordial era.

The entire sea of ​​blood was boundless, with crimson waves surging and rolling, creating towering waves of blood.

Amidst the surging waves, there were the wails of endless vengeful spirits, the roars of malevolent demons, and even fragments of the lingering resentment of ancient powerful beings who had fallen.

The malevolent aura soared to the heavens, and filth permeated the air, making even the laws of heaven obscure and difficult to understand in this place.

If an ordinary cultivator dares to approach, even a wisp of the Blood Sea's aura will corrupt their soul, destroy their Dao foundation, and turn them into a ferocious spirit that only knows how to kill.

Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would not dare to set foot here lightly without the protection of a supreme treasure.

However, at this moment...

Above the sea of ​​blood, the void ripples silently.

A figure in green robes slowly materialized, standing with his hands behind his back atop the towering waves of blood. The primordial Daoist energy flowed naturally, subtly isolating the approaching malevolent aura.

It was Xuandu.

His gaze was calm as he swept over the churning, blood-red ocean below.

Divine thoughts surged forth, instantly enveloping the entire Netherworld Blood Sea, piercing through layers of malevolent energy, and penetrating to the deepest part of the Blood Sea.

How vast is the divine consciousness of the Primordial Great Luo?

In the blink of an eye, the vast territory of the Blood Sea is within one's perception.

Deep within the sea of ​​blood, the Styx Ancestor sat cross-legged atop the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, his body shrouded in blood-red light. The Yuan Tu and A Bi swords hung beside him, radiating an incomparably fierce and murderous sword intent.

As if sensing something, he suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils blazing with bloodlust!

"Who dares to peer into this sea of ​​blood?!"

A furious roar, carrying the pressure of a peak Quasi-Saint, exploded from the depths of the Blood Sea!

As the sound waves passed, blood surged back, and billions of ferocious spirits roared in unison, rushing madly toward the direction of Xuandu!

however.

Xuan Du's expression remained unchanged; he merely glanced indifferently into the depths of the sea of ​​blood.

"Buzz".

A faint, almost imperceptible primordial Daoist aura rippled outwards.

The countless ferocious spirits that rushed towards them all exploded, turning into a sky full of blood mist and dissipating.

Deep within the sea of ​​blood, the Styx Ancestor's pupils shrank suddenly, and his expression changed drastically!

He could clearly sense that the vastness and profundity of that divine consciousness far exceeded his imagination!

What terrified him even more was that the opponent's mere wisp of Daoist energy crushed the army of ferocious spirits he had mobilized with the essence of the Blood Sea!

Such strength is definitely not that of a quasi-saint!

"Primordial Chaos... Great Luo?"

The Styx Ancestor's voice was hoarse, and his eyes throbbed with bloodlust.

Since its creation, the Blood Sea has been his territory, and even saints are unwilling to set foot there easily.

But today, a Grand Luo Immortal has actually arrived?

"Xuandu...is that you?"

The Styx Ancestor quickly realized what was happening.

In the primordial world, the only newly promoted Grand Luo Immortal who also has close ties with the human race and the Jie Sect is Xuandu!

Xuandu ignored the reaction of the Styx Ancestor.

His divine sense continued to penetrate deeper, sweeping over every corner of the sea of ​​blood.

Although the sea of ​​blood was vast, it had nowhere to hide under the coverage of his Primordial Grand Luo divine sense.

however.

Just as his divine sense was about to touch the core area of ​​the sea of ​​blood.

"laugh."

A barely perceptible soft sound.

Xuan Du frowned slightly.

He clearly sensed that a part of his consciousness... had suddenly disappeared.

Although it is only a tiny, almost imperceptible wisp, like a speck of dust extinguished in the vast sea of ​​stars.

But he is a Primordial Grand Luo Immortal!

His divine sense and soul are connected and resonate with the Dao Fruit. No matter how slight the movement is, it cannot escape his perception!

"interesting."

Xuan Du's gaze narrowed slightly, and his divine sense surged toward that unusual place like a tide.

Deep within the sea of ​​blood, in an area shrouded in dense bloodlust.

The malevolent energy here is so intense that it has solidified into a tangible form, making it difficult even for divine sense to penetrate.

If an ordinary cultivator were to use their divine sense to explore this place, they would likely be corrupted by the evil energy and have their soul damaged in an instant.

Xuandu's divine consciousness, being a manifestation of the will of the Primordial Great Luo, had long transcended ordinary laws and was not afraid of filth.

His divine sense pierced through the crimson mist, penetrating deep into the core.

next moment.

Xuan Du's pupils contracted slightly.

Deep within the blood-red mist, a strange mosquito with six wings on its back could be seen.

It was lying prone on a wisp of invisible and intangible divine consciousness, its mouthparts as thin as needles, frantically gnawing at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye!

"Click...click..."

Silent gnawing.

That wisp of divine consciousness was actually gnawed open by the mosquito!

Although each bite consumes only a negligible amount, the mosquitoes devour them extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they have already taken hundreds of bites!

What alarmed Xuandu even more was...

The mosquitoes were not gnawing at the physical body, but rather at the formless and intangible consciousness!

Divine consciousness is an extension of the soul and a manifestation of will, which is difficult to reach with ordinary supernatural powers and magical treasures.

But these mosquitoes could actually use their mouthparts to directly gnaw at one's consciousness, as if they were enjoying an unparalleled delicacy!

"Six-winged black mosquito... Mosquito Taoist!"

Xuan Du's eyes suddenly lit up!

In the primordial world, there are only a handful of beings capable of devouring divine consciousness and even the very essence of spiritual treasures.

And this six-winged black mosquito is one of them!

At the end of the Investiture of the Gods, this Mosquito Taoist infiltrated the Western Sect and forcibly ate three of the twelve grades of the Golden Lotus of Merit of the Guide Saint, causing the Golden Lotus to drop in grade and its power to be greatly reduced!

Its ability to devour is simply heaven-defying!

It can even devour the most precious treasures of saints, let alone divine consciousness?

"So it was you..."

A slow smile crept onto Xuan Du's lips.

A fortuitous opportunity amidst bloodshed—it's right here!

This Mosquito Taoist was born in the Blood Sea. He is a unique species nurtured by the origin of the Netherworld Blood Sea. He is born with the ability to devour the law, and can devour all things and all laws.

If we could recruit them into the Jie Sect...

Then, through the system, I can obtain his heaven-defying devouring ability!

At that time, with martial arts tempering and the blessing of absorption, one's strength will surely increase dramatically once again!

More importantly...

This Mosquito Taoist will be a figure that even saints will find troublesome in the future.

If we can subdue them in advance, they will surely be a great help in the great calamity to come!

"Buzz..."

With a slight thought, Xuan Du's devoured strand of divine consciousness quietly dissipated.

Deep within the crimson mist, the six-winged black mosquito suddenly paused, its proboscis suspended in mid-air, its six compound eyes slightly turning, as if wondering why its consciousness had suddenly vanished.

Born in a sea of ​​blood, it feeds on blood demons, vengeful spirits, and even the divine consciousness of cultivators. Although its intelligence is not fully developed, its instincts are sharp.

That wisp of divine consciousness was pure and vast, far surpassing any "food" it had ever devoured before, making it instinctively greedy and craving.

But now it has suddenly disappeared...

"squeak!"

The six-winged black mosquito let out a sharp hiss, its six wings vibrating and transforming into a streak of black light, frantically darting through the blood-red mist in search of the vanished divine consciousness.

however.

"Are you looking for me?"

A calm voice suddenly rang out behind it.

The six-winged black mosquito froze, then suddenly turned around!

Within the crimson mist, a figure in green robes had silently appeared, standing with hands behind his back, calmly watching it.

The primordial Daoist energy flowed naturally, dispersing all the surrounding bloodthirsty energy and creating a pure and clean domain.

The six-winged black mosquito hovered in mid-air, its six compound eyes fixed on the suddenly appearing figure in blue.

The Blood Sea has existed for billions of years, and it has devoured the consciousness of countless creatures that have strayed into this place.

From True Immortals to Taiyi Immortals, and even the occasional divine thoughts of Great Luo Golden Immortals, all became nourishment within its belly.

The malevolent energy of the Netherworld Blood Sea naturally obscures the secrets of heaven and distorts perception, so it has never been noticed.

But the person in front of me...
