Chapter 155 Proving the Dao at the Styx River, Laying the Foundation for the Era of Saints (1)
At this moment, in the Netherworld Blood Sea, Styx, having slightly stabilized his cultivation and severed ties with the Witch Clan, was in high spirits and felt a clear mind.
"It is quite difficult to obtain a spiritual treasure of the innate supreme level to sever another corpse. Since that is the case, there is no need to be obsessed with it."
"It's more important to plan for the next era of sages." Styx shook his head and took out a spiritual treasure.
The Twelve-Petaled Reincarnation Purple Lotus was one of the innate spiritual treasures that Styx had previously obtained. It was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure of quite good quality. However, since Styx had quite a few innate spiritual treasures, in most cases, Yuan Tu, A Bi, and the Twelve-Petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus could solve all the problems he encountered. Therefore, although Styx had completely refined this lotus platform, it had never played any role.
These words would probably infuriate many powerful cultivators who don't even possess a single innate spiritual treasure.
The Twelfth Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus is merely a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and among the spiritual treasures possessed by the Styx River, it is not considered top-tier. For example, the God-Slaying Spear, a supreme weapon of slaughter, is far more powerful than the Twelfth Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus.
If immediate combat power is needed, then using the God-Slaying Spear to slay the last corpse, which is also an evil corpse, is undoubtedly the most suitable option, and Styx is already proficient in the way of killing.
However, the Styx River is not lacking in immediate combat power at present.
Then Styx would have to consider how to use this last corpse to maximize its future potential.
From the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts to the Great Calamity of Dragon and Han, the Conflict between Dao and Demon, the Great Calamity of Witch and Demon, the Great Calamity of Investiture of the Gods, and even the Great Calamity of Journey to the West, the prehistoric world has repeatedly demonstrated a truth: being able to fight is important, but being able to fight alone is useless. To survive in the prehistoric world, you need power and a background.
Therefore, Styx chose to sever his last corpse with the Twelfth-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus. Before this, he had also obtained the inheritance of the Great Dao of Reincarnation, the Great Dao of Soul, and the Dao of Earth. He used the method of severing the three corpses to entrust the three corpses to the Twelfth-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus and comprehend the Great Dao of Reincarnation within its innate indestructible spiritual light. This would greatly benefit Styx's subsequent actions, whether it was opening the heavens and proving the Dao within the Chaos Pearl or opening the cycle of reincarnation in the primordial world.
Before long, Styx held the Twelve-Petaled Purple Lotus of Reincarnation in his hand. With a flash of spiritual light, a Taoist figure wearing a purple robe and with a face very similar to Styx appeared on the Twelve-Petaled Purple Lotus of Reincarnation. However, soon, he and the Twelve-Petaled Purple Lotus of Reincarnation were taken back into Styx's primordial spirit.
Like the benevolent corpse, the malevolent corpse is not quite qualified to address its fellow Daoists like the Daoist Master.
By entrusting his evil corpse to the Twelfth-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus, Styx, whose cultivation level was already far above that of a typical peak-level Primordial Golden Immortal, almost instantly comprehended the Great Dao of Reincarnation contained within the innate, indestructible spiritual light of the Twelfth-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus. This made Styx, who already cultivated the Great Dao of Reincarnation and whose Great Dao of Reincarnation was already vaguely becoming his main cultivation path, even more proficient in the Great Dao of Reincarnation.
As he pondered, Styx flashed and arrived inside the Chaos Pearl. At this moment, the primordial chaos had not yet been divided, and the disordered chaos within was boundless, with various laws of earth, water, wind, and fire running rampant.
Styx stood within the Chaos Pearl, gazing at the chaos within the Chaos Bell. Behind him, the chaos solidified into the figure of the Daoist, appearing and then dissipating, bringing Styx a moment of enlightenment.
For the magical artifacts used to create the world, Styx chose the Primordial Measuring Ruler.
"From this day forward, I will no longer be a pawn in this vast world." Finally, Styx has reached this day. All those years and schemes were for the purpose of shedding his status as an "ant."
Neither gold nor jade, yet heavier than all the heavens and myriad realms, its body flowing with primordial yellow energy, its inner purple-gold divine light, like the embryos of countless chaotic stars, flickering deep within its surface, emerged in the Styx's palm.
It is the Primordial Measuring Ruler.
At this moment, Styx was more focused than ever before, and he pushed his great magical power to its limit. With the blessing of Styx's magical power, the Primordial Measuring Ruler also shone with unprecedented brilliance.
Styx immediately used his great magical power to activate this acquired treasure of merit, which was born from the merit of creating the world, and opened the world within the Chaos Pearl. For Styx himself, this was an opportunity to become a righteous Grand Luo Golden Immortal. For the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, this acquired treasure of merit, it was also a kind of creation.
Each fluctuation of magical power caused the surrounding viscous chaotic energy to tremble silently, rippling outwards in circles of annihilation and rebirth.
Similarly, the fact that a world was born within the Chaos Pearl is also an achievement for this supreme treasure of chaos.
With favorable timing, advantageous location, and harmonious relationships, all three elements have already fallen into the hands of the Styx River. Today, the Styx River has no reason to fail.
The Primordial Measuring Ruler hummed softly in the Styx's palm, not as a sound, but as a yearning, a primal impulse to measure, define, and cleave through this boundless chaos.
A foot fell, and in the beginning, chaos was broken.
Before long, Styx swung out a second foot. With this stroke, the black and yellow separated, the pure qi rose, and the turbid qi condensed downward.
The chaotic elements of earth, water, fire, and wind continued to surge, and the Styx began to use its own cultivation to tidy up the disordered earth...
Water, wind, fire.
Countless years have passed —
The great Dao's profound voice echoed, resonating with the newly born world within the Chaos Pearl.
The Chaos Pearl has considerable potential. Even if the world created based on it cannot compare to the Primordial World, it is still a world worthy of the Great Dao's attention.
"This realm must contain heaven and earth!" Styx, having used his terrifying magical power to organize the earth, water, wind, and fire within the Chaos Pearl, was filled with a sense of accomplishment as he saw a world that was nearing completion.
"Just one last step." Before long, the prototype of this world was fully formed, and the River Styx was completely calm.
This was also the most dangerous step—Pangu perished in this final step. However, for such a being, it was less a fall and more a sacrifice.
Moreover, Styx's path to enlightenment within the Chaos Pearl was far less perilous than Pangu's, as he faced the obstruction of three thousand Chaos Demons.
The Primordial Divine Light condensed on the Primordial Measuring Ruler, suddenly shining to its extreme. The ruler hummed, and the Great Dao's divine voice burst forth from the void, resonating with it. In an instant, billions of shackles collapsed.
With the blessing of the Styx's great power, the Primordial Measuring Ruler slowly descended, heavy and slow, yet carrying the destiny's majesty of creation and unstoppable force!
"Zhang Tian!"
The primordial divine light swept across silently, and in an instant, the three thousand Great Daos manifested within the Chaos Pearl. Among them, the laws of time and space manifested most clearly. The two Great Daos suddenly empowered Styx, greatly increasing his cultivation. At the same time, the world within the Chaos Pearl also began to change.
Fragments of the past, present, and future churn, collide, and recombine wildly within it, ultimately being forcibly anchored and stretched by the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, transforming into an invisible giant axis that pierces through chaos. The flow of time originates here, and the extension of space is thus established!
