Before heading to the Northern Continent, he found the Investiture of the Gods could now be used and wrote the participating experts’ names on it.

Old Ancestor Styx arrived at the Northern Continent and joined the battle against the Fierce Beasts, concealing his strength while fighting a powerful beast resembling Hou. As the four allied forces clashed with the Fierce Beasts, their Kings and Generals emerged, and Styx sensed that Shen Ni was about to appear.

• Old Ancestor Styx sensed a Late-stage Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal aura fluctuating in empty space and expected Shen Ni to reveal himself.

Old Ancestor Styx watched the battlefield’s growing madness as Shen Ni attacked the suspected reincarnation of the Karma Demon God.

The battle intensified when Rahula revealed the God-Slaying Spear, while Karma escaped and Yang Mei continued evading Shen Ni.

• Old Ancestor Styx reasoned that the Kongtong Seal was a Human Dao treasure containing the Literary Dao and the Dao of Wu, and he hoped to use the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud's righteous qi to comprehend the Literary Dao.
• Old Ancestor Styx's gaze fell on the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud and the Black Water Black Lotus, making both treasures tremble and putting Rahula and Hongjun on guard.

• Heavenly Dao Merit descended, and Old Ancestor Styx received thirty percent while the other leaders and surviving fighters shared the rest.
