Entering the Blood Sea for the First Time

After emerging from seclusion, Old Ancestor Styx once again recalled his earlier idea: to improve his bloodline origin and strengthen his foundation. But he had no idea how to improve his bloodline origin...

He flipped through the many Demon God inheritances, but still found no answer, which left him somewhat agitated. After thinking for a long while, Styx became carefree. Since he could not think of anything for the time being, he might as well take a walk and clear his mind first.

He had been in the Great Wilderness for so long, yet he had never left this Formation Space. Born in the Blood Sea, he had not even gone to take a look around it. It was rather ridiculous! Thinking of this, Old Ancestor Styx no longer hesitated. He rose and stepped down from the Karma Red Lotus, but for the sake of safety, he brought the Karma Red Lotus along.

With the Karma Red Lotus beneath his feet and Yuan Tu and A Bi in his hands, he left the Formation Space. The moment he stepped out of the Formation Space, his vision turned completely blood-red, and he instantly sank into an ocean composed of blood.

The Blood Sea, which appeared filthy and could easily cause someone to die and have their cultivation path destroyed, displayed joy and acceptance the moment Old Ancestor Styx emerged. It was as if it were welcoming its child home! Indeed, Old Ancestor Styx himself had been nurtured by the Blood Sea. Although he had purified his origin, he still possessed the Pangu bloodline, while the Nether Blood Sea itself had been transformed from the navel of Great God Pangu!

Thus, on an instinctive level, the Nether Blood Sea felt even closer to Old Ancestor Styx. After carefully sensing this state, Old Ancestor Styx felt delighted from the bottom of his heart. This was the place that had nurtured him. No matter how unbearable it appeared in the eyes of others, it was still Old Ancestor Styx's home.

Thinking of this, Old Ancestor Styx began wandering through the Nether Blood Sea. At this time, the Blood Sea was not yet like the Nether Blood Sea of later generations. Although it had expanded greatly after experiencing several Tribulations, the Blood Sea that originally contained only the essence blood of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods had also been diluted beyond measure. Nor was the Blood Sea filled with Grievous Souls wailing everywhere. In terms of power and rank, it was inferior to the Blood Sea of the present!

Thinking of this, Old Ancestor Styx stopped considering the matters of the future. For now, taking a good look around the Blood Sea was what mattered most. Thus, Old Ancestor Styx continued touring the Blood Sea. However, some places where the Slayer Qi and Grievance Qi of certain Chaos Demon Gods had gathered made Styx frown. Although the Nether Blood Sea was a gathering place for the Grievance Qi, Slayer Qi, Blood Qi, and death aura of Living Beings from the Primordial Continent after their deaths, and even the True Spirits of Living Beings would drift into the Blood Sea after their deaths in the future, Styx still did not like the Blood Sea being filled with Slayer Qi and filth everywhere. After all, who in their right mind would like living in a latrine?

Old Ancestor Styx thought that he would definitely have to find a way to change these circumstances in the future. Afterward, Old Ancestor Styx continued his tour. Suddenly, he felt a tug on his mind. Following this psychic pull, Old Ancestor Styx arrived before a Formation. Because the Formation blocked his view, Old Ancestor Styx could not see what was inside. However, he did not care. Although this Formation would stop him, because it was located in the Blood Sea, it instinctively felt close to Old Ancestor Styx and therefore would not attack him. Old Ancestor Styx had enough time to comprehend the Formation and break it!

Old Ancestor Styx immediately sat down cross-legged and began comprehending the Formation. After comprehending it for one Eon, Styx completely understood it. The Formation's main purpose was protection. It possessed offensive capabilities, but they were not very powerful, while its defensive capabilities could roughly withstand attacks from a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. To Old Ancestor Styx, it could only be considered better than nothing. After all, within the Nether Blood Sea, relying solely on the Nether Blood Sea's own abilities, even ordinary Da Luo Golden Immortals would not dare set foot inside lightly!

Even when the Fierce Beast Kalpa erupted in the future, those brainless Fierce Beasts would not dare lightly set foot in the Nether Blood Sea. However, it was hard to say whether Shen Ni, Reincarnation, and the other Fierce Beast leaders would come to the Blood Sea because of the Blood Qi and Slayer Qi, so he still could not afford to relax!

Having made up his mind, Old Ancestor Styx officially entered the Formation. This Formation Space was not very large. A large battle flag stood upright in the very center, and various spiritual materials grew throughout the space! Old Ancestor Styx first collected the spiritual materials, then began refining the battle flag. Through refining it, Old Ancestor Styx learned the battle flag's name. It was none other than the Asura Clan's supreme treasure, the Asura Battle Flag, a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure with thirty-six restrictions. The Asura Clan of later generations was naturally warlike, and the influence of this Asura Battle Flag was likely indispensable.

After putting away the Asura Battle Flag and collecting the Formation as well, Old Ancestor Styx continued his tour of the Blood Sea...
