Primordial Era: The Sun Emperor

"Taiichi, how long can you hide?"

Styx sneered.

The first thing he did after dismembering the corpse was to seek revenge on Taiyi.

That day in front of the South Heavenly Gate, Taiyi used the Holy Flame of the Sun to evaporate his Blood Sea clone and suppressed him in front of the gate. If he does not avenge this grudge, how can Styx have the face to stand in the prehistoric world?

Most importantly, my Dao heart was not in harmony! Now that I've vented my anger, my Dao heart is in harmony, and I might be able to use this opportunity to sever another corpse and advance to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint!

However, the Heavenly Court was sealed off, and he could not enter.

He wasn't in a hurry and waited on the summit of Buzhou Mountain.

He believed that Taiyi would eventually emerge.

On this day, a golden-white light shot from the direction of the Sun Star in the sky, like a meteor falling to earth, trailing a long tail of flame, illuminating half of the sky.

Styx suddenly rose up, blood light shooting into the sky, and the twin swords Yuan Tu and A Bi were drawn on their own, their sword cries echoing throughout Mount Buzhou.

The light faded, and Taiyi stood with his hands behind his back, appearing atop Mount Buzhou.

Golden hair cascaded down to her waist, her golden eyes shone like the sun, and her golden imperial robe fluttered in the wind.

His aura was restrained, its depth unreadable, yet an invisible pressure emanated from him, making the surrounding air scorching.

"Taiyi!" Styx roared, "You finally dared to show yourself!"

Taiyi raised his eyes and looked at the Styx River. His golden eyes were devoid of joy or sorrow, as if he were looking at an ant.

"The River Styx?" Taiyi asked with a hint of surprise, "You dare to come here?"

The Styx River was furious.

"Haha! You mere Great Luo, how dare you be so insolent! You've truly wasted all these years!"

Styx laughed in fury, his blood-red light surging, and he unleashed the full pressure of a Quasi-Saint, roaring, "Taiyi, you insulted me before the Southern Heavenly Gate that day. Today, I have become a Quasi-Saint, and I will make you pay for your debt in blood!"

He raised his hand and pointed, and the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords transformed into two blood-red rainbows, heading straight for Tai Shou's head.

The quasi-saint's strike caused the heavens and earth to change color.

The sea of ​​clouds atop Mount Buzhou was torn apart by the sword energy, and the space within a radius of ten thousand miles trembled.

The Yuan Tu A Bi sword is a supreme weapon of slaughter, capable of killing without incurring any karmic consequences. Now that both swords are drawn, even a powerful quasi-saint would not dare to take it head-on.

Taiyi raised his hand.

A golden-white light shone in his palm, and the Holy Flame of the Sun transformed into a giant hand, which, without dodging or avoiding, grabbed the two blood-red sword rainbows.

Yuan Tu Abi struggled frantically in the giant hand, the sword's cry was mournful, but he could not break free even a fraction.

The sacred flames of the sun scorched the sword's blade, emitting a hissing sound, and the light of that supreme weapon of slaughter gradually dimmed.

Styx's expression changed drastically.

"impossible!"

He desperately tried to summon back the twin swords by channeling his magic power, but found that Yuan Tu A Bi was as if cast in iron, completely unmoved.

Taiyi raised his eyes, a hint of impatience flashing in his golden pupils.

"A quasi-saint?"

He uttered two words softly, his tone tinged with doubt, as if asking: Is this the Quasi-Saint?

The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Styx's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively unleashed a sea of ​​blood, enveloping him in endless crimson light.

However, a golden fist pierced through the sea of ​​blood.

The fist was small, yet it was like a great sun falling into a sea of ​​blood; wherever it passed, the blood evaporated and the sea of ​​blood boiled.

The Blood Sea Avatar, which Styx was so proud of, was as fragile as paper before the Holy Flame of the Sun.

boom--

The fist slammed solidly into Styx's chest.

Styx let out a miserable cry and flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the Buzhou Mountain wall and creating a huge crater.

Blood spurted from his mouth, and the blood that fell to the ground burst into flames.

The lingering power of the sun's holy flames didn't even spare his blood.

Taiyi walked over with his hands behind his back, his steps unhurried.

He walked up to the River Styx, looked down at the quasi-saint embedded in the mountain wall, his golden eyes showing neither sorrow nor joy.

"revenge?"

Taiyi reached out and grabbed Styx by the neck, lifting him up from the cliff face.

Styx struggled desperately, grabbing Taiyi's wrists with both hands, only to find that the hand was as solid as iron and did not move an inch.

"I gave you a chance." Taiyi's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority. "You didn't cherish it."

Styx's eyes were filled with horror and resentment.

He slew the evil corpse and became a quasi-saint, thinking he would be able to suppress Taiyi, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even withstand a single punch from Taiyi.

The difference in strength was completely the opposite of what he had imagined.

"Taiyi...you..." Styx spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse, "What realm are you at...?"

Taiyi did not answer.

With a casual toss, the Styx River was flung out like a rag and crashed heavily onto the summit of Mount Buzhou.

Taiyi raised his hand, and the Holy Flame of the Sun condensed in his palm, transforming into a golden cage that trapped the River Styx within.

"Didn't you want revenge?" Taiyi said calmly, "I'll give you a chance. I'll fight you again whenever you can break free of this cage."

He turned around, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the South Heavenly Gate.

Behind him, Styx struggled frantically in the golden cage, but to no avail.

This cage is filled with the repression of the Sun Avenue.

The sacred flames of the sun scorched the very source of his blood sea; with each struggle, he suffered more pain.

Taiyi's footsteps never stopped, and his voice came from afar, clear and distinct:

"A Quasi-Saint? Nothing special."

The South Heavenly Gate opened wide, and Taiyi stepped inside, his figure disappearing into the golden light.

At the summit of Mount Buzhou, in a golden cage, Styx sat slumped on the ground, his blood-red eyes filled with despair and resentment.

His joy at achieving sainthood through the act of severing his own body had vanished completely.

He suddenly realized a terrible truth.

Taiyi didn't even use the Chaos Bell from beginning to end.

In other words, even if he summoned his evil corpse immediately, he would still be no match for the opponent.

"What exactly is he? How can he, a mere Great Luo Golden Immortal, suppress a Quasi-Saint like me?!"

"and……"

"I can't sense the slightest trace of innate divine aura from him; it seems he has already completed his transformation in a very short time!"

"That's the aura of the Great Dao!!!"

Styx's pupils contracted continuously, and he gained a deeper understanding of Taiyi's power.

Even if he waits until the twelfth grade Karmic Fire Lotus in the Blood Sea matures and completely refines it, he still won't be a match for Taiyi.

By the way, Taiyi is unwilling to cultivate the path of a sage, but instead wants to cultivate the path of primordial chaos.

If Taiyi truly enters the Hunyuan realm...

Is there really no one left in the world who can rival him?

Perhaps only that lofty saint could do it...

The joy of achieving quasi-sainthood and the impending revenge vanished in an instant.

For the first time, Styx, trapped in his cage, was filled with regret.

Is it truly the right thing to practice the method of severing the three corpses?

Taiyi paid no attention to him and stepped inside. The scenery before him changed, and he found himself at the South Heavenly Gate.

At this time, the Heavenly Court was sealed off, and apart from him and Ziwei, all the other deities went into seclusion to digest the insights they had gained from listening to the Dao in Zixiao Palace.

After these cycles, all five celestial bodies had entered the realm of Great Luo Golden Immortals.

In the present day, only the Five Luminaries have emerged from seclusion in the Heavenly Court.
