The news of Hongyun's death quickly spread. In Longevity Mountain Wuzhuang Temple, Zhenyuanzi received the news.
He was filled with guilt and regret, tears streaming down his face.
Sure enough, he shouldn't have let Hongyun leave. How long had it been? Hongyun had already fallen.
Killed by someone!
His friend, who had accompanied him for countless thousands of years, had fallen just like that!
Zhenyuanzi couldn't accept this outcome.
He even went to block the North Sea, but Kunpeng hid deep in the sea, just like he did in Longevity Mountain.
This was Kunpeng's lair. Since Kunpeng kept hiding, Zhenyuanzi had no way to deal with him.
In the end, he could only retreat.
As for the other two culprits, Emperor Jun and Taiyi, this made Zhenyuanzi feel even more powerless.
Yao Race Emperor Emperor Jun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi!
He couldn't deal with either of them.
Especially Taiyi, who could fight multiple Twelve Ancestral Witches at once.
He was known as the number one person below a Saint.
Although he was also strong and a leader among the powerful, he was definitely not Taiyi's opponent.
Thus, Zhenyuanzi became reclusive.
Hongyun's death and his own powerlessness made Zhenyuanzi realize his weakness.
He wanted to become stronger!
...
With Hongyun's death, the Hongmeng Purple Qi went missing. After Emperor Jun swore he hadn't obtained it, the world seemed to calm down all of a sudden.
There was a feeling of an impending storm.
The powerful beings from all sides clearly felt the changes in the world.
Between heaven and earth, at some unknown time, Evil Qi gradually began to permeate.
This was a Karma Evil Qi.
The Evil Qi of the Great Tribulation!
In other words, the Great Tribulation was coming.
Therefore, in such circumstances, the powerful beings from all sides naturally avoided trouble as much as possible and dared not cause any more incidents.
Especially the Yao Race and the Witch Race, they became even more nervous.
They were the protagonists of this Great Tribulation.
The arrival of the Great Tribulation meant that their decisive battle was approaching.
Therefore, both races began to prepare for war.
Mount Buzhou, in the valley.
Lin Yang had fallen into that state, refining the pangu primordial spirit, and he didn't know how much time had passed.
On this day, Lin Yang finally showed signs of movement.
He slowly opened his eyes, and from within them, an incomparably ancient and vast aura emanated.
Lin Yang had finished refining the pangu primordial spirit.
Now, in addition to being a Gourd Vine, he could also be called—the Fourth Pangu Clear.
His Primordial Spirit had transformed into the pangu primordial spirit.
"Hoo!"
Lin Yang let out a long breath, then suddenly formed a hand seal. Behind him, countless strange phenomena appeared.
These phenomena were terrifying, as if they were creating heaven and earth. Earth, water, fire, and wind surged, and the clear and turbid Qi churned.
Worlds were formed, star Systems were deduced, and even gods and demons appeared, and so on.
Lin Yang's aura became even more ancient and vast.
"Boom!"
His body shook, as if he had accumulated a lot of power. His Cultivation soared at this moment.
It was as if the Three Clears, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti were refining the Hongmeng Purple Qi and proving the Dao through Karma.
His Cultivation rose steadily, and with a roar, he had broken through from Grand Unity Golden Immortal Perfection to the Early Stage of Quasi-Saint.
Moreover, his accumulation seemed to be very deep. Even after breaking through to Quasi-Saint, there were no signs of an unstable Foundation.
Instead, he continued to advance rapidly, and his Cultivation soared all the way to the Middle Stage of Quasi-Saint, almost reaching the Late Stage of Quasi-Saint, before stopping.
Lin Yang's continuous Cultivation Breakthroughs were precisely the gains from his refinement of the pangu primordial spirit.
Although there was no Karma of creation in this pangu primordial spirit, it still brought him huge gains!
"If I use my own pangu primordial spirit to split off a sub-Primordial Spirit for my Ancestral Witch Incarnation, it should work, right?"
Lin Yang muttered to himself.
He began to act, splitting off a sub-Primordial Spirit in his mind, and then injecting it into the still-gestating Earth Ancestral Witch Incarnation.
"Buzz!"
Immediately, the great cocoon of the Earth Ancestral Witch Incarnation began to vibrate.
And it also emanated ancient and vast auras.
Lin Yang's face showed surprise and anticipation.
However, after several days, suddenly, the vibration of the great cocoon stopped, and the aura emanating from it also gradually ceased.
Lin Yang couldn't help but frown and began to sense.
He found that inside the great cocoon, the sub-Primordial Spirit he had injected was gone.
It was still assimilated by the pangu essence blood.
Corroded by the turbid Qi.
Instead of becoming a "little Pangu."
Lin Yang thought for a moment, then shook his head, "It seems I was thinking too much about mass-producing little Pangus."
"Unless it's a true pangu primordial spirit combined with pangu essence blood, it's unlikely to succeed."
Lin Yang's figure shifted slightly, transforming back into a Gourd Vine, ancient and vibrant, growing in this valley.
He continued his leisurely life.
However, not long after Lin Yang transformed into a Gourd Vine, suddenly, Lin Yang's heart stirred. A pair of eyes grew on the Gourd Vine, and these eyes seemed to penetrate nothingness.
Looking towards the Youming Blood Sea.
At this moment, the Youming Blood Sea was surging endlessly, with waves of blood rolling and churning, which was quite astonishing.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yang couldn't help but grow a mouth from the Gourd Vine again, and said in surprise, "Is Styx going to create the Asura?"
"Strange, the System didn't give me a mission this time!"
However, Lin Yang understood after thinking about it. It wasn't that the System didn't assign a mission, but that it simply couldn't.
Styx creating the Asura was different from Nuwa creating humans.
When Nuwa created humans, he could still hand her water or soil.
When Styx created the Asura, was he supposed to go catch Souls for Styx?
And just as Lin Yang discovered the movements in the Youming Blood Sea, the powerful beings from all over the world also gradually noticed.
From the depths of the blood sea, a figure sat on a lotus platform, slowly emerging.
This figure was none other than Styx.
Styx sat on the lotus platform, his eyes tightly closed, as if he was comprehending something.
And from his body, powerful auras emanated, causing the entire blood sea to churn restlessly.
For a time, Styx was the focus of all attention. Not only did the powerful beings from all sides look at him, but even the Saints also looked at him at this moment.
"Boom!"
Finally, as Styx's body shook, a vast surge of magical power erupted from his body.
And as this magical power spread out, everyone clearly saw it.
Centered around Styx, on a vast expanse of the sea, countless blood lotuses bloomed.
In a magnificent display, it transformed into a sea of lotuses in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
Including the Saints, especially Nuwa, each of them was greatly surprised.
Creation!
What Styx had just displayed was the means of creation.
But.
Didn't Styx Cultivate the Great Dao of Slaughter?
When did he learn the Dao of Creation?
Isn't that something only Nuwa understands?
Styx's Dao of Slaughter, no matter what, shouldn't be related to the Dao of Creation!
For a time, everyone was bewildered.
