Chapter 96 Ancestor of the Styx River (Please Subscribe)

Upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi's words, Zhulong showed a surprised expression. He hadn't expected that, just as he had guessed, the Styx Daoist was actually a primordial god-demon who had taken form in the Netherworld Blood Sea.

Zhulong couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

In the past, the Dragon Clan ruled over the four seas and the eastern part of the prehistoric world, and they were so powerful. Who would have thought that they would be reborn now, and suddenly there are countless great supernatural beings in the prehistoric world.

Among them were even quasi-saints with great supernatural powers.

After exchanging a few words with Zhulong, Zhen Yuanzi bid farewell and stepped into the spatial passage.

Inside, a dense aura of desolation filled the air, like an endless ocean, enveloping Zhen Yuanzi's entire body.

"These desolate energies are rather strange. They are not only formed from the thoughts and obsessions of all living beings after their deaths, but they also contain a trace of chaotic energy." Zhen Yuanzi frowned slightly, and his innate Yin-Yang divine light spread out, transforming into billions of rays of light, turning all the desolate energy into nothingness.

Immediately afterwards, Zhen Yuanzi unleashed another burst of innate sword energy from his Myriad Tribulations Sword, opening a spatial rift.

The next moment, Zhen Yuanzi transformed into a beam of black and white light, rushed into the spatial rift, and arrived in the Netherworld Blood Sea.

Upon arriving at the Netherworld Blood Sea, Zhen Yuanzi felt countless cold, filthy energies and resentful, malevolent auras rushing towards him, along with a turbid underground energy that made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Innate Purifying Divine Light, arise!" Zhen Yuanzi shouted softly, and the innate Yin-Yang divine light around his body transformed into the innate Purifying Divine Light. Only then did he feel much better and began to observe the Netherworld Blood Sea before him.

As far as the eye could see, there was an endless sea of ​​blood, dark and gloomy, devoid of any sign of life, except for a few wandering souls.

Furthermore, the sky was filled with a mixture of filth, resentment, and malevolent energy, which not only defiled the cultivator's physical body and eroded their primordial spirit, but also rendered the cultivator's internal magical power unbearable.

"No wonder even quasi-saint level experts are unwilling to set foot in the Netherworld Blood Sea," Zhen Yuanzi muttered to himself.

If it weren't for the innate purifying divine light protecting him, he probably wouldn't have been willing to come to the Netherworld Blood Sea.

Zhen Yuanzi immediately used the Innate Purifying Divine Light to protect himself, transforming into a white ray of light, and headed in any direction to find the Daoist temple of the Styx Ancestor.

Along the way, Zhen Yuanzi revealed the three flowers of his primordial spirit, which merged with the innate purifying divine light. Wherever he passed, all kinds of filth, resentment, and evil energy disappeared.

Even the turbid air from underground dissipated.

"Where did this Taoist priest come from, daring to trespass into the Netherworld Blood Sea!"

In the boundless sea of ​​blood, a blood-red figure suddenly emerged, complete with a head and limbs, its body extremely filthy, the stench of foul blood overwhelming, sour and stale, its aura filthy.

"Blood God Child!" Zhen Yuanzi frowned slightly, ignoring the Blood God Child before him. Instead, he addressed the boundless sea of ​​blood, saying softly, "This humble Daoist, Zhen Yuanzi, has come to pay a visit. I request that Fellow Daoist Styx show himself!"

Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi ignored him, Xueying was enraged. Divine light shot up from his body, and he shouted at Zhen Yuanzi, "You Taoist, how rude! My ancestor has long been in seclusion for cultivation. How dare you shout like this!"

This Blood God Child was refined by the Styx Ancestor using his own magical power and the filth in the Blood Sea, and it numbered as many as 480 million.

What's most mysterious is that these Blood God Children are not only incarnations of the Styx River, but each also possesses independent intelligence.

"I am Zhen Yuanzi, and I request that Fellow Daoist Styx show himself!" Zhen Yuanzi's gaze turned cold, and the innate purifying divine light on his body blazed forth, radiating billions of rays of light as it fell upon the Blood Shadow.

Just as the blood-red figure was about to speak again, a flash of white divine light appeared on Zhen Yuanzi's body, and billions of white rays of light shot out, exuding divine might. A chill crept into the figure's heart, and he thought to himself, "This is bad."

The next moment, as soon as the descending innate purifying divine light came into contact with the blood-red radiance on Blood Shadow's body, he couldn't help but scream in agony. His entire body was burning as if on fire, and it gradually melted away. Even his primordial spirit was turned into nothingness by the white light.

Ironically, the blood-red radiance that had once been so powerful was now completely ineffective and was even subtly suppressed by the white divine light. He was horrified and began to wail and scream in agony.

However, after a long while, there was still no movement on the Netherworld Blood Sea.

"Fellow Daoist, are you avoiding me because you want me to venture deep into the Blood Sea and come to you personally?" Zhen Yuanzi's tone turned somewhat gloomy. With a burst of innate purifying divine light, he directly killed the Blood God Child in front of him.

Then, from Zhen Yuanzi's three primordial spirit flowers, the innate twelfth grade pure white light soared into the sky, spreading throughout the Netherworld Blood Sea, instantly purifying all kinds of auras within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles.

However, to Zhen Yuanzi's surprise, apart from the Blood God Child from earlier, there was no other movement in the Netherworld Blood Sea.

"Why is this Styx Ancestor making no move?" Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but wonder.

Even disregarding the camaraderie forged in the Zixiao Palace in the past.

Even if anyone comes to bully him, or even kills a Blood God Child, the Styx River should not turn a blind eye.

Not to mention, this Styx Ancestor not only possessed great Taoist cultivation and supernatural powers, but was also known as the Blood Sea that never dries up and the Styx River that never dies.

Furthermore, Zhen Yuanzi and Styx had no prior grudges, so why is he hiding and not coming out?

"Since you refuse to see me, fellow Daoist, then I shall have to be impolite!" Seeing that there was still no movement above the Netherworld Blood Sea, Zhen Yuanzi's eyes narrowed, and he took out the Myriad Tribulations Sword, intending to swing it at the Netherworld Blood Sea.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait! This humble Daoist, Styx, greets you!"

Just as Zhen Yuanzi's Myriad Tribulations Sword fell, a Taoist in a red robe appeared on the Netherworld Blood Sea. His face was slightly cold. He stood on the Blood Sea, bowed slightly to Zhen Yuanzi, and said, "Minghe greets fellow Daoist. I was in seclusion just now, please forgive me."

At this point, the Styx Ancestor paused slightly, a vague sense of unease rising in his heart.

He was well aware of the friendship between Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi, and at this moment, Hongyun's Dao-attaining artifact, the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, was inside his cave.

Now that Zhen Yuanzi has come to visit, the Styx Ancestor is naturally unwilling to show himself, for fear that Zhen Yuanzi will ask for the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd.

However, Zhen Yuanzi not only showed no intention of leaving, but instead persisted relentlessly, even planning to break through the Netherworld Blood Sea to force the Styx Ancestor to reveal himself.

"Zhen Yuanzi greets fellow Daoist!" Upon seeing Styx appear, Zhen Yuanzi's expression softened, and he was about to explain the purpose of his visit.

A strange light flashed in the eyes of the Styx Ancestor, who asked, "Fellow Daoist, why have you come to the Netherworld Blood Sea to visit me instead of cultivating in seclusion on Longevity Mountain?"

Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi felt a little doubtful, but he still told the truth, "To be honest, fellow Daoist, the reason I came to the Netherworld Blood Sea to visit you is to exchange innate spiritual items with you."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the Styx Ancestor suddenly burst into laughter, saying, "Fellow Daoist is truly extraordinary, to have guessed this!"

A look of surprise flashed across the Styx Ancestor's eyes, and he continued to say to Zhen Yuanzi, "Very well, since you have come to me in person to exchange this item, I shall at least give you some face."

At this moment, the Styx Ancestor changed the subject, saying, "I heard that you, fellow Daoist, once picked a primordial gourd on Mount Buzhou, but you have not yet refined it into a spiritual treasure."

"This humble Taoist is not greedy; you may exchange this item for it, fellow Taoist."

Exchanging an unrefined innate gourd for the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, a magical artifact used by a quasi-saint with great supernatural powers, seems like the Styx Ancestor suffered a considerable loss.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

However, apart from Hongyun, the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd is only a decent spiritual treasure for other cultivators and cannot be used to entrust the primordial spirit and three corpses.

The innate gourd in Zhen Yuanzi's Wanshou Mountain has not yet been harvested. It could be refined into a high-quality artifact for attaining enlightenment, which could be used to entrust one of the three corpses of the primordial spirit.

However, upon hearing Styx's words, Zhen Yuanzi was taken aback. Before he could even offer to exchange the lotus seeds of the Twelfth Grade Innate Karmic Fire Red Lotus, Styx had already proposed exchanging them for an Innate Gourd...

Thinking this through, Zhen Yuanzi said calmly, "Don't you think this is a bit too greedy, fellow Daoist?"

Upon hearing this, the Styx Ancestor chuckled and said to Zhen Yuanzi, "Fellow Daoist, your wealth is immense. Not to mention the two Innate Five Elements and Five Directions Flags bestowed upon you by the Dao Ancestor in Zixiao Palace, even the other Innate Spiritual Treasures you possess are all of superior quality. Why be reluctant to part with an Innate Gourd!"

"Moreover, Fellow Daoist Hongyun has not yet perished. The value of this Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd far surpasses that of a Primordial Gourd for Fellow Daoist Hongyun."

Red clouds!

The Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd!

"What you say makes some sense, fellow Daoist!"

"It's just a mere innate gourd; this humble Daoist will naturally not be reluctant to part with it." A glint flashed in Zhen Yuanzi's eyes. It seemed that Hongyun's Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd had drifted into the Netherworld Blood Sea and been collected by the Styx Ancestor before him.

"However..." Zhen Yuanzi paused slightly, then said, "Besides the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, I also intend to exchange a few lotus seeds of the Innate Twelfth-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus with you. Furthermore, do you know the whereabouts of the Northern Profound Origin Water Control Flag?"

There are many different accounts regarding the whereabouts of the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag from the previous life.

One is the Asura Banner of the Styx Ancestor, and the other is the True Martial Emperor's True Martial Black Eagle Banner.

One of them is undoubtedly the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag.

"The lotus seeds of the Innate Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus!" The Styx Ancestor frowned and asked, "Why would you exchange this item, fellow Daoist?"

"Although the seeds of the innate twelfth-grade lotus can be used to cultivate innate lotuses, my innate twelfth-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus is different from the other three innate twelfth-grade lotuses. It cannot be cultivated with innate spiritual water. Even if you exchange it back, it will be of no use to you."

"As for the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag, it is my personal protective item."

At this point, the Styx Ancestor looked at Zhen Yuanzi with a mocking expression and said, "If you are here to exchange the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd and the lotus seeds of the Innate Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, you only need to bring me the Innate Gourd Vine and the Innate Gourd, and I will exchange them with you."

"If you intend to gather all five of the Five Elements and Five Directions Flags of the Primordial Dao, you have probably made a mistake."

On that day in Zixiao Palace, when the Styx Ancestor saw Zhen Yuanzi obtain the Five Elements and Five Directions Flags, he knew that Zhen Yuanzi intended to collect all five of the Five Elements and Five Directions Flags.

At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi raised the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag, so how could the Styx Ancestor speak kindly to him?

Upon hearing the words of the Styx Ancestor, Zhen Yuanzi was not angry but pleased, and said with a smile, "Thank you for informing me of the whereabouts of the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag."

"However, this item is destined for me, so I can only be impolite!" As he spoke, the Myriad Tribulations Sword in Zhen Yuanzi's hand suddenly flickered and transformed into countless sword energies.

The next moment, the Myriad Tribulations Sword trembled slightly, its sword energy contained yet not revealed, and its entire body resembled a sword light, heading towards the Styx Ancestor.

Since we can't get it through polite exchanges, we have no choice but to forcibly seize it.

Regardless, Zhen Yuanzi is determined to obtain the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag.
