Time passed in the blink of an eye. More than two hundred thousand years had passed since Minghe entered seclusion.
On this day, Great Peng emerged from seclusion once more. Looking at the still tightly shut doors of the Blood God Palace, he had gone completely numb.
He had truly never seen anyone cultivate with such diligence. This had been more than two hundred thousand years!
He had already cultivated to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal. One more step, and he would become a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
"Surely I won't break through to Great Luo Golden Immortal before Master comes out of seclusion, will I?" Great Peng muttered to himself.
Just then, Great Peng's heart suddenly stirred, as though he had sensed something in the unseen.
His scalp tingled, and a chill ran through his entire body.
That feeling came from within the Blood God Palace.
Great Peng's expression changed slightly. He had long known that his master cultivated the Way of Slaughter.
He took slaughter as his Dao.
The might of slaughter was naturally terrifying.
Yet he had never seen Minghe display his Way of Slaughter, nor had Minghe taught him anything related to the Way of Slaughter.
Minghe had only guided his cultivation and allowed him to comprehend his own Dao.
But now, Great Peng finally seemed to understand what the Way of Slaughter was.
As time passed, waves of slaughterous aura continuously spread out from the Blood God Palace.
They grew denser and more terrifying, making Great Peng feel as though he had fallen into an icy abyss.
This slaughterous aura was simply far too horrifying.
It even caused waves of murderous thoughts and killing intent to rise in his heart, filling him with the urge to go on a killing spree.
Great Peng hurriedly guarded his heart. At the same time, his gaze toward the Blood God Palace was filled with reverence.
He had no idea what kind of divine ability or spell his master was cultivating within.
For it to emit such terrifying killing intent.
After considering it for a moment, Great Peng moved and flew into the distance, putting as much distance between himself and this place as possible.
He did not want this killing intent to truly rob him of his senses. That would be troublesome.
However, over the following period, the killing intent did not fade. Instead, it became increasingly terrifying, spreading over an ever wider area.
Fortunately, the Blood Sea had always been a desolate and uninhabited place, with no other living beings approaching it.
Otherwise, with such terrifying killing intent permeating the area, no one knew what consequences it might have caused.
And so, after an unknown amount of time had passed, a new change finally appeared around the Blood God Palace.
In the sky above the Blood God Palace, killing intent gradually began to churn, evolving into all kinds of scenes of slaughter.
These scenes of slaughter seemed endless, with all manner of living beings fighting and killing one another.
After another unknown stretch of time, the various slaughter scenes that had been continuously evolving suddenly dissipated.
Great Peng sighed in relief. He saw that the waves of terrifying killing intent had also begun to withdraw into the Blood God Palace.
Until they vanished completely.
However, just as Great Peng believed everything had passed and Minghe was about to emerge from seclusion.
All of a sudden, a crimson killing intent erupted with a thunderous boom, like a bolt from the blue.
It violently shook heaven and earth.
It shot straight into the sky, scattering the clouds.
And with that killing intent at its center, an endless and terrifying murderous intent rapidly swept across the entire Primordial World.
Only at this moment did Great Peng realize that the killing intent previously leaking from the Blood God Palace had merely been a prelude.
The killing intent Minghe unleashed now was the true terror, truly earth-shaking and heaven-shattering.
What kind of killing intent was this? Great Peng did not even know how to describe it.
As this killing intent swept out and enveloped heaven and earth, the entire world seemed to lose its color.
All things became bleak, while endless murderous intent filled heaven and earth.
The sun and moon lost their light, the stars grew dim, and countless beings were shaken by this murderous intent. One after another, they shuddered in terror.
Kunlun Mountain, Mount Sumeru, and even Nuwa's Dao Field in the Wa Imperial Palace beyond the Thirty-three Heavens were struck by this murderous intent.
The Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Nuwa—the Six Saints, the six Heavenly Dao Saints—all felt their hearts tremble.
Great powers from every side also extended their divine senses, looking toward the Netherworld Blood Sea, the source of it all.
Under the gaze of countless onlookers, a figure slowly pushed open the gates of the Blood God Palace and walked out.
It was Minghe.
At this time, Minghe looked exceedingly ordinary, yet every gesture of his gave others the sense that his Dao Rhyme was naturally perfected.
He was unfathomable.
The great powers from all sides were stunned.
Since when had such a mighty figure existed in the Blood Sea?
They had never seen him, nor had they ever heard of him.
Yet the strength Minghe displayed today had shocked them.
He was a mighty figure who took slaughter as his Dao, and his strength was terrifying.
That killing intent soared into the heavens, releasing murderous intent that shook the entire world.
The great powers questioned themselves. Compared to Minghe, their strength was likely far inferior.
Above the Thirty-three Heavens, Dijun, Taiyi, Kunpeng, and Fuxi had gathered together.
At this moment, they too looked toward the Blood Sea and saw Minghe.
Dijun frowned deeply. Like the other great powers, he had never heard of Minghe before this.
"What terrifying strength. What is this man called? Brother Fuxi, can you calculate it?" Dijun asked Fuxi.
Among them, Fuxi was the most skilled at calculating heavenly secrets. Even Dijun, who possessed the River Diagram and Magic Square of Lo Shu, admitted that he was inferior.
However, Fuxi shook his head and said, "Heavenly secrets are in chaos right now. I cannot calculate it."
"This man's cultivation is powerful, and he takes slaughter as his Dao. Yet he has assumed such a stance now. I do not know what he intends to do."
As soon as Fuxi said this, the others exchanged glances, equally puzzled.
Then, at that very moment, the killing intent between heaven and earth suddenly stalled, as though it had been suppressed.
The next instant, countless phenomena blossomed, and vast purple qi arrived from the east.
These were the phenomena of Saints.
Under the astonished gazes of Dijun, Taiyi, Fuxi, and Kunpeng.
And beneath the utterly shocked gazes of great powers from every side.
Figures appeared one after another.
There was Lady Nuwa, who came from beyond the Thirty-three Heavens and stood atop a golden phoenix.
There was also Supreme Pure Laozi from Kunlun Mountain, riding a Green Ox; Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Lord, seated upon a Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage; and Sect Master Tongtian, likewise seated upon a Kui Ox.
The Three Pure Ones had emerged together.
And there were the two martial brothers, Jieyin and Zhunti, appearing from Mount Sumeru in the west.
All Six Saints had emerged.
The six Heavenly Dao Saints had all appeared.
Moreover, the Six Saints had a clear target. All of them were heading toward the Netherworld Blood Sea.
At this moment, the entire world watched. Under the shocked gazes of all beings.
"Boom!"
The boundless Blood Sea surged, raising waves tens of thousands of feet high. Minghe stood before the Blood God Palace, gripping two swords in his hands.
An even more terrifying killing intent erupted violently from Minghe's body.
