True Immortal Realm

Time passed swiftly, and the years flew by. Before he knew it, the fifth Tribulation had entered its early stages. Old Ancestor Styx had already condensed a Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit and successfully broken through to the early True Immortal stage. His cultivation realm had also completely reached the late Profound Immortal stage!

Old Ancestor Styx knew that he had merely taken advantage of the gap before the first batch of Innate Demon Gods had finished gestating and gotten a head start. He had gained some advantage over the first batch of Innate Demon Gods, but this advantage was not particularly great. Although those among the first batch of Innate Gods and Demons who had reincarnated from the origins of the Chaos Demon Gods had, because of the Great Dao Foolish Divine Light, cleared away their previous Cultivation Methods and cultivation insights,

their origins and essence had not been weakened much. Once they finished gestating, they could easily reach the limit of the Heaven and Earth Shackles. In contrast, because Old Ancestor Styx had used the Red Lotus Karmic Fire to purge his mixed origins, his origins had become purer and their impurities had been removed, allowing him to reach greater heights. However, there was no denying that his origins had also become much thinner. At present, they were merely equivalent to the level of a Great Witch, and he was even inferior to top Great Witches such as Kuafu and Xing Tian! If Old Ancestor Styx became careless, he might easily be surpassed by those Innate Demon Gods who awakened later.

Thinking of this, Old Ancestor Styx also understood the direction of his future cultivation: increasing his Bloodline Power and strengthening his own origins.

But there was no need to rush this for now. The most important thing next was still to sort through his cultivation insights. Moreover, Old Ancestor Styx had already reached the early True Immortal stage, yet up until now, he had only summarized a Cultivation Method and his insights into the Alchemy Dao, Artifact Dao, and Array Dao.

He had not developed any Divine Ability and Spell Technique for combat at all. He could not possibly wield Yuan Tu and A Bi and hack away wildly whenever he encountered an enemy in the future—fight if he could win, and return to the Blood Sea to be reborn if he could not. At the thought of this, Old Ancestor Styx could only shake his head repeatedly!

Thinking of this, Old Ancestor Styx no longer hesitated. He sat down cross-legged and began sorting through his cultivation insights.

"Hmm! From Earth Immortal to Heavenly Immortal and then to True Immortal, it is a process of moving from earth to heaven, then unifying through man, balancing the relationship among Heaven, Earth, and Human. The so-called favorable timing, advantageous terrain, and harmonious people also lay the foundation for condensing the Three Flowers of Heaven, Earth, and Man after breaking through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal in the future!"

After finishing his comprehension, Old Ancestor Styx began flipping through the incomplete scenes in the Blood Scripture depicting the battles of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods in Chaos. He combined them with his own understanding to create Divine Abilities and Spell Techniques suited to himself. First, Old Ancestor Styx had determined that his future cultivation direction would be the Law of Blood. So what Divine Abilities and Spell Techniques could be derived from the Law of Blood?

Old Ancestor Styx carefully considered this and discovered that most of the techniques suited to the Law of Blood were auxiliary Divine Abilities, and they leaned toward what later generations would define as Divine Abilities of the Demonic Path. For example, the Great Method of Heavenly Demon Disintegration used the burning of one's own vital essence to exchange for powerful strength.

Another example was the Blood Escape Technique, which also burned vital essence in exchange for speed. The consequence was that one's body became weakened. However, these costs were insignificant to Old Ancestor Styx. After all, who said that burning vital essence necessarily meant burning his own vital essence? Besides, as the dignified Old Ancestor Styx, he had the entire Nether Blood Sea behind him, and the whole Blood Sea would eventually be refined by him. To others, these secret techniques meant injuring the enemy by a thousand while suffering eight hundred points of damage themselves. But to Old Ancestor Styx, they were unexpectedly compatible and complemented each other perfectly!

As for techniques of slaughter, did he not already have the ready-made Law of Slaughter? In this life, Old Ancestor Styx was simply no longer focusing on cultivating the Law of Slaughter as his main path; that did not mean he would stop cultivating it. After a period of comprehension, Old Ancestor Styx combined his Companion Spiritual Treasures, the two swords Yuan Tu and A Bi, with the Law of Slaughter and created several sword techniques, such as the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique and the Thirteen Swords of Life Seizing!

He then combined the Law of Soul with the Law of Slaughter and, recalling the Sword Saint's Sword Twenty-Three, created the Twenty-Three Swords of God Seizing and Soul Annihilation!

For physical combat techniques, he recalled the descriptions of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations and comprehended Divine Abilities such as Law of Heaven Manifesting Earth and Three Heads Six Arms!

Afterward, Old Ancestor Styx recorded all these Divine Abilities and Spell Techniques in the Blood Scripture. At this point, his methods could finally be considered complete!

After that, Old Ancestor Styx once again immersed himself in cultivating and comprehending the Dao. When he emerged from seclusion again, he had completely absorbed the insights from creating these techniques...
