Not only were the great powers from all sides puzzled, but even the Saints couldn't figure it out.
How could someone who Cultivated the Dao of Slaughter suddenly change their Grand Dao and learn the Dao of Creation?
This was simply impossible!
At this moment, Styx was seen forming hand seals, then suddenly let out a deep shout, and instantly, the entire Youming Blood Sea began to rumble and shake.
A huge Formation appeared above the Blood Sea and began to operate.
"Rumble!!!"
As the great Formation operated, rolling seawater surged continuously.
Blood lotuses grew out one after another.
More and more, more and more.
At a glance, it looked as if the entire surface of the Blood Sea was about to be covered.
And that was exactly what happened.
It wasn't until the entire surface of the Blood Sea was filled with blood lotuses.
Only then did Styx let out another deep shout, controlling the great Formation to change again.
A chilling yin wind blew, and within the Blood Sea, countless Souls appeared.
These Souls were those that had fallen into the Blood Sea.
The Youming Blood Sea was rumored to have been formed from a puddle of Pangu's foul blood, making it incredibly yin and defiled.
And after all living beings in the world died, if their Souls were not extinguished, they would be drawn here to sink into it.
Therefore, Styx's move could be said to be drawing on local resources.
Under the effect of the great Formation, these Souls entered the lotuses one by one.
Then, the lotuses closed up, transforming into flower buds.
Styx continued to operate the great Formation and unleashed his Dao of Creation, using the great Formation to spread the power of creation into every lotus.
And strikingly, as time passed, suddenly, at a certain moment, the flower buds closer to Styx began to tremble first.
From within the flower buds, a vigorous aura of life emanated.
And it spread rapidly, with more and more flower buds emitting life aura.
Seeing this, how could the crowd not understand? Styx was imitating Nuwa's creation of humans!
Styx also wanted to create a race.
And observing his actions, although it was a shortcut, it now seemed to genuinely be yielding results.
So, could Styx succeed?
At this moment, a flower bud bloomed, and from within it emerged an incredibly ugly creature.
This creature had never appeared in the Grandmist before; although ugly, the bone spurs growing on its body and the fierce aura constantly emanating from it made people's hair stand on end.
Styx had truly created a new living being!
A living being unlike any other race in the Grandmist.
As the first such living being was born, soon after, more and more flower buds opened, and from them, one living being after another emerged.
However, it is worth mentioning that these living beings were clearly divided into two categories.
One category was like the first creature, incredibly ugly.
The other category was different; it was the exact opposite, with each one being incredibly beautiful.
Moreover, these two categories, quite coincidentally, had the incredibly ugly ones as males, and the incredibly beautiful ones as females.
Males were ugly, females were beautiful.
Was this Styx's twisted sense of humor, doing it on purpose?
Lin Yang couldn't help but feel deep sympathy for the males of the Asura.
This was too tragic!
However, mere beauty and ugliness were not worth mentioning to the great powers and Saints.
What truly made them uneasy at this moment was that Styx had now truly created a new race.
So, could he, like Nuwa, attain Saint-hood?
On the twelfth grade karma fire red lotus, Styx looked at the countless blooming flower buds, having created a new race of his own.
He couldn't help but laugh loudly, stood up, and shouted to the sky: "Heavenly Dao above, I, Styx, hereby create a race, to be called the Asura!"
"Boom!"
The Heavenly Dao vibrated, and above the Void Realm, pieces of Karma continuously emerged.
Causing the great powers and Saints from all sides to immediately change their expressions.
Styx creating the Asura actually received Karma from the heavens?
Was he really going to use this Karma to attain the Dao?
And also become a heavenly dao saint?
Could one attain Saint-hood without Hongmeng Purple Qi?
At this moment, even the Saints couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
After all, if Styx were to attain Saint-hood, it would not be good for them.
Because this not only symbolized that Styx himself could succeed.
But also, if Styx could create the Asura today and attain the Dao without Hongmeng Purple Qi.
Then wouldn't it mean that in the future, others could also create other new races and similarly attain Saint-hood?
Then how many Saints would there be in this world?
"Rumble!"
At this moment, under the watchful eyes of all, rolling Karma poured down, landing on Styx's body.
As Karma was continuously absorbed by Styx, for a time, Styx's aura became stronger and stronger, stronger and stronger.
From his original Quasi-Saint Middle Stage, it instantly elevated to Quasi-Saint Late Stage.
And then, Quasi-Saint Perfection.
And then, Quasi-Saint Perfection.
...
And then, still Quasi-Saint Perfection.
At this moment, the smile on Styx's Face froze.
His current situation was like that of Jieyin and Zhunti when they established their teachings.
Karma from the heavens had indeed descended.
But the problem was that this Karma was not enough! It was only enough to let him reach Quasi-Saint Perfection.
It simply couldn't let him attain the Dao!
The great powers from all sides, while relieved, couldn't help but sigh.
While Styx's failure allowed them to gloat and revel in his misfortune.
It also indicated one thing.
Without Hongmeng Purple Qi, it was probably truly impossible to attain Saint-hood!
Otherwise, if both created a new race, why could Nuwa attain Saint-hood?
And Styx could not?
Styx looked up at the sky; at this moment, he really wanted to curse the Heavenly Dao, but he didn't dare.
A mouthful of anger could only be suppressed.
However, Styx did not give up.
Since things had come to this, he simply went all out.
Styx took a deep breath, then shouted to the heavens again: "Heavenly Dao above, I, Styx, hereby establish a great teaching, to be called the Asura Teaching. The Asura Teaching takes slaughter as its doctrine; all living beings, none are unkillable!"
"I am the Leader of the Asura Teaching. I use the twelfth grade karma fire red lotus to suppress the Luck of the Asura Teaching. Asura Teaching, establish!"
"Boom!"
As Styx's voice fell, the Heavenly Dao vibrated again, once more acknowledging his action.
Streams of Heavenly Dao Karma emerged from the Void Realm, making Styx overjoyed.
He silently retracted the curses he had just directed at the Heavenly Dao in his heart.
After all, from the current perspective, the Heavenly Dao was still very caring towards him!
He was given Karma for creating the Asura.
Now he was given Karma again for establishing the Asura Teaching.
This was already quite giving him Face.
Styx refused to believe it; he was already at Quasi-Saint Perfection, plus this Karma from establishing the teaching, could he still not attain the Dao?
