Chapter 5 Zhunti: Yes, Senior Brother!
Faced with this unexpected disaster, Zhunti and Jieyin were at a loss, their faces filled with bitterness.
In the West today, there are many malevolent spirits, and some are even difficult for the sages Zhunti and Jieyin to deal with. The current zombie plague is no exception. The zombies currently exposed to Zhunti and Jieyin are not difficult to deal with, but as time goes by, these zombies will integrate into the vicious cycle that is currently harming the West, making the situation even worse.
What kind of simple corpses could those bodies that survived the aftermath of the demon Rahu's self-destruction be?
"Senior brother, what should we do?" Zhunti looked at Jieyin beside him with tears in his eyes and asked.
"The one who tied the knot must untie it." Jieyin calculated for a moment, then sighed deeply.
"What does Senior Brother mean...?" Upon hearing this, Zhunti's eyes lit up.
……
Over thousands of years.
Above the Netherworld Blood Sea, Styx diligently digested the insights into the Great Dao of Soul and the Great Dao of Food given to him by the system. A mysterious and profound fortune was constantly coming from all directions. After being suppressed by the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, it began to bless Styx's body. Although this fortune was not much, it was still of some use.
This fortune comes from Ying Gou and the zombie clan.
The fact that zombies could also gather fortune was something Styx hadn't expected.
Meanwhile, with the support of the endless blood, resentment, yin energy, and baleful energy of the Netherworld Blood Sea, Ying Gou's strength was also growing continuously. However, compared to a great supernatural being like Styx, he was still as insignificant as an ant.
In the span of thousands of years, Styx had almost fully digested these two new insights into the Great Dao, and his strength had once again reached a new level.
The Great Dao of Food has many uses. For example, "consuming food," one of the seventy-two Earthly Fiends supernatural powers in later generations, is one application of the Great Dao of Food. However, this Great Dao is only icing on the cake for the Styx River, since the Styx River itself is already powerful enough.
The Great Dao of the Soul not only allowed Styx to further enhance his understanding of his own "soul" and related primordial spirit cultivation, but also gave him a deeper control over the endless vengeful spirits entrenched above the Blood Sea.
Before this, this control came from the extra benefits brought by Styx's control over the Blood Sea. After this, Styx had a direct control over these vengeful spirits.
Suddenly, Styx's expression hardened, and the Yuan Tu Sword appeared in his palm. He slashed out in a certain direction out of thin air.
My cultivation has just broken through, and "guests" have arrived. Not bad.
……
"Senior brother, we've arrived." Zhunti looked up at the sea of blood, where he was drinking its waters, absorbing death energy, yin energy, and baleful energy to enhance his Ying Gou. His expression was solemn.
At this moment, Ying Gou's appearance has changed drastically compared to when he was first created. He has a blue face and fangs, his body is surrounded by black mist, and he shows no signs of life. He is a hundred feet tall and has a hundred arms growing from his back, making him extremely terrifying.
"This is the Corpse Ancestor. Kill it on the spot, and it will be a great relief to the primordial world!" Zhunti was so angry that his Three Corpse Gods were furious when he saw Ying Gou in front of him.
Their purpose in coming here was simple: to rid the world of this scourge. However, eliminating Ying Gou was not important. The core of this goal was to find the River Styx and resolve the corpse plague in the western lands.
"Junior brother, hold your hand." Jieyin shook his head, still deep in thought.
He was pondering whether there was any possibility of resolving this matter peacefully. They had all heard of Styx's reputation; he had 480 million Blood God Children, whose very survival was tied to the Netherworld Blood Sea. In other words, although Styx was aloof, even if they were two against one, they might not be able to eliminate him.
If we offend the Styx River, wouldn't it be a huge loss?
"Senior brother, you're overthinking it," Zhunti said with a smile, looking at his senior brother.
Having spent countless years with his senior brother, he naturally knew what his senior brother was thinking.
"The Styx River acts with extreme caution. If we show any weakness, this matter will be difficult to resolve." Zhunti said to his senior brother.
Jieyin only considered that Styx had 480 million Blood God Children, making him difficult to deal with, but he did not consider what kind of great supernatural being Styx was.
cautious.
The Blood God Child's divine ability was a product of Styx's caution. After all, with the Netherworld Blood Sea as his backing, what kind of killing divine ability couldn't he master? Yet, he managed to master such an excellent life-saving divine skill.
Faced with such a cautious and powerful being, we must be ruthless. Otherwise, once the Styx sees that they are not confident enough, and given that the West is suffering from the plague of corpses, where will they have the confidence to drag things out?
"Make your move!" Zhunti looked at Ying Gou, who was still swimming above the sea of blood, searching for the blood-winged black mosquito for the Styx River. He immediately became fierce and casually pointed out a golden light, which went straight for Ying Gou.
In a moment, Ying Gou will be reduced to ashes.
At that moment, a sword cry rang out, and boundless blood-red sword energy swirled up the sea of blood, causing it to flow backward. It carried a terrifying killing intent and was reflected in the eyes of Zhunti and Jieyin.
"Not good!" Zhunti and Jieyin's expressions changed simultaneously. They immediately joined forces. Zhunti manifested his eighteen hands and twenty-eight heads, summoned the Seven Treasures Tree, and Jieyin condensed his golden body, using all his magical power to shoot at the terrifying sword energy.
A moment later, the crimson sword energy swept Zhunti and Jieyin far away. On Zhunti's Seven Treasures Tree, several scattered branches were broken off, and the edge of Jieyin's tattered Taoist robe was stained with a few drops of bloody sewage.
"So it's you two, Fellow Daoists Zhunti and Jieyin. I've long admired your names. Why are you two here in this land of blood, instead of enjoying blessings in the West, and wreaking havoc?" Styx appeared from the spatial rift created by the sword energy of slaughter, wielding the Yuan Tu Sword, causing Zhunti and Jieyin's expressions to change simultaneously.
"Oh no, oh no," Jieyin sighed inwardly.
Zhunti looked at his senior brother, then at the Styx River, and was quite surprised.
How can the River Styx be so powerful?
The fact that they were being easily suppressed by the other party was something that Zhunti and Jieyin never expected when they came. After all, Zhunti and Jieyin were both rare masters of supernatural powers in the world, and there were very few people who could defeat them. Given the same restrictions of the Heavenly Dao, how could you, Styx, be so much stronger than us?
Is that correct?
Jieyin couldn't think of a reply for a moment, but Zhunti, who had just spoken, changed his expression and looked at Minghe, who was holding the Yuantu Sword, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Minghe, what excellent cultivation! This sword is truly unparalleled in the world."
"My brother and I, though residing in the Western Lands, have long admired Fellow Daoist Styx. We came here today to pay our respects, but upon seeing evil spirits causing trouble above the Sea of Blood, we were concerned for Fellow Daoist Styx's safety and thus intervened."
In a single move, Zhunti and Jieyin understood that they couldn't fight, and they definitely couldn't win.
"Haha..." Styx chuckled a few times upon hearing this.
"That is not an evil spirit. It was just a spirit that I conjured up when I saw the endless fighting in the primordial world. Fellow Daoists, you are overthinking it."
