Minghe Creates the Asuras

"How is this possible? That arm wasn't completely 'corroded'!"

This scene stunned Minghe, who had been standing to the side for thousands of years. He had condensed his Minghe into the 'Hongyun' more than once.

But each time he stepped into it, his body was 'corroded' clean.

Without exception!

"As expected, Zhenyuanzi really does have a way to dispel that 'Hongyun'!"

Minghe was overjoyed, as if a drowning man had grasped at the last straw, wishing he could rush out of the Blood Sea right now.

They learned from Zhenyuanzi how to resolve the 'Hongyun'.

But he knew even better that Zhenyuanzi, as Hongyun's friend, would definitely not have a kind look towards him, one of the 'culprits' who caused Hongyun's downfall.

Not to mention telling him how to dispel this 'Hongyun'.

He could only rely on his own careful observation.

Minghe was filled with unease. He could only hope that Zhenyuanzi would not be able to bear seeing his friend's 'corpse' in such a state and would reveal his method to resolve the 'Hongyun'.

Zhenyuanzi did not disappoint the Minghe.

Under the watchful eye of the Minghe.

Zhenyuanzi flipped his right hand, and a yellowish-brown book appeared out of thin air.

A golden light of merit suddenly emerged from it and surged towards the 'Hongyun'.

The 'Hongyun,' which had remained unchanged despite Minghe's countless methods, rapidly dissipated under the golden light of merit.

In an instant, the 'Hongyun' covering a radius of millions of miles vanished completely, but... that was all it amounted to.

Compared to the 'Hongyun' that permeated the entire sea of the Blood Sea, the cleared area of a million miles was simply insignificant.

Seeing the scene before him, Zhenyuanzi was not discouraged, but a look of determination appeared in his eyes.

With the Book of Earth in hand, although the merit of sorting out the Primordial World earth veins is not much, it is long-lasting, and one day he will be able to completely erase the 'Calamity Sha Qi'.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun... I will surely grant you true liberation in this lifetime!"

After Zhenyuanzi left.

The Minghe slowly rose from the Blood Sea, gazing at the millions of miles of the Blood Sea that had been purified, its eyes no longer filled with the despair of before.

"Merit... so the nemesis of this 'Hongyun' is the power of merit!"

"That's right, I should have thought of that sooner. The power of merit is the nemesis of all extremely yin and evil forces, and this 'Hongyun' is no exception!"

Minghe was overjoyed.

Although he knew that accumulating enough merit to destroy this 'Hongyun' would be extremely difficult.

But he wasn't afraid of difficulties; he was afraid of having no hope.

As long as he has the means to eliminate this 'Hongyun', he, a Quasi-Sage, will be able to completely obliterate Hongyun sooner or later.

"Merit... merit..."

In the Blood Sea, Minghe was single-mindedly pondering how to gain merit.

For a Quasi-Sage, accumulating merit is not difficult; what is difficult is accumulating a large amount of merit, or even having a path that allows one to continuously accumulate merit.

If the Minghe wanted to erase the 'Hongyun' above the Blood Sea, the amount of merit it would need would be enormous.

Minghe's mind was constantly recalling the beginnings and ends of each major event in the Primordial World where countless merits were bestowed upon the world.

"The Demon Race accumulated a great deal of merit by establishing the Heavenly Court, and the powerful beings of the East Sea also accumulated a great deal of merit by creating the world and expanding the primordial Primordial World."

"The Nüwa Sage bestowed immense merit upon creating a new race, and other Sage also received merit when they established their religions and attained sainthood!"

"Oh, and there's Zhenyuanzi. He uses the Book of Earth to manage the Primordial World earth veins, which is how he continuously gains merit."

Aside from Pangu creating the world, the Minghe knows that in the Primordial World, there were only a few instances where a large amount of merit had fallen.

Creating a new world and expanding the primordial Primordial World —the idea was out of the question; Minghe immediately rejected it.

The Demon Race established the Heavenly Court and was rewarded for their merits by promising to manage the stars, Primordial World stars were related to the Spiritual Qi of the Primordial World.

The Demon Race combs through the stars, which is why they accumulate merit, and it's a continuous stream of merit.

The sage Nüwa Sage humans, Heavenly Dao bestowed merit upon her. Perhaps she will create a completely new race in the Primordial World, which will bring her a great deal of merit.

Other Sage who established teachings made meritorious contributions by promising to educate and enlighten all beings.

"If it were me..."

"The Heavenly Court... created humanity... established religion..."

Minghe began to deduce things in his mind, his eyes growing brighter and brighter. Then, with a swift movement, he swam directly into the depths of the Blood Sea.

The Netherworld Blood Sea, to be called a sea, is not only vast and wide, but also naturally as deep as the ocean.

Beneath the Netherworld Blood Sea lies an unknown distance, billions of miles from the surface.

This place is the Primordial World negative pole, the most yin place in the universe.

It is naturally able to attract the Yin Qi between heaven and earth, and countless wronged souls are seen sinking into the depths of this Blood Sea.

It turned the once scarlet Blood Sea into pitch black.

"You are the ones!" Minghe looked at the countless souls and a bright smile appeared on his face.

As the lord of the Blood Sea, Minghe was born to cultivate the Great Dao of Blood, the Great Dao of Slaughter, and was not proficient in the Dao of Creation.

It's impossible for them to create humans from clay like the Sage Nüwa.

But...

With a wave of his hand, Minghe directly grabbed several remnants of souls and spirits.

In the Primordial World, fierce battles often result in injuries to a person's Primordial Spirit and the Rogue Person soul, which is why few souls remain intact here.

Furthermore, the Blood Sea itself contains corrupted souls Primordial Spirit. These fragmented souls have been mired in the Blood Sea for an unknown period of time, and their intelligence has long been erased.

Even as Minghe held him in his grasp, he showed no reaction whatsoever.

Minghe held several fragmented souls in one hand and a mass of the Blood Sea water in the other, then clasped his hands together.

Those remnant souls then merged into the sea of the Blood Sea.

Behind Minghe, the Great Dao of Blood emerged, and a life force slowly rose from the sea of the Blood Sea that had merged with the remnant soul.

Driven by this life force, the blood began to slowly take on a physical form, with four heads and eight arms, its body deformed like a monster.

Minghe frowned, raised his hand and touched the ball of blood, and the arms and heads that had been randomly growing in various places immediately became neat and orderly.

Standing over a thousand feet tall, with four heads and eight arms, a blue face and fangs, it looked ferocious and mighty, but its eight eyes were empty and lifeless. It had a body and a soul, but no intelligence!

Minghe paid no attention to this, and pointed out again, causing a lively light to surge from his empty eyes.

"Greetings, Father God!" The four-headed, eight-armed being immediately bowed to the Minghe and cried out.

"Haha! It worked as expected..." Looking at the creature before him, Minghe burst into laughter.

He then poured his Quasi-Sage Law Power into the boundless Blood Sea around him without reservation.

The endless Blood Sea surged towards the countless remnants of souls below, each drop of the Blood Sea devouring several remnants of souls before forming a complete soul.

Furthermore, because the water of the Blood Sea is inherently yin, it is difficult to completely integrate with the yang-natured soul.

Each one was like the creatures created by the Minghe before, with many arms or legs, or many heads and feet. They looked divine and extraordinary, yet they were also ferocious.

When faced with Yin-type souls, they easily merge with them completely, creating creatures that are all graceful and pitiful.

Then, under the influence of the Minghe Great Dao of Blood, it exuded the aura of life and developed sentience.

In the blink of an eye, billions of living beings appeared in the depths of this previously lifeless Netherworld Blood Sea.

Billions of living beings stared fervently at the Minghe above, constantly chanting "Father God."

"Haha!" Minghe looked at the billions of living beings and was overjoyed.

He turned around, faced upwards, and bowed in greeting.

"Heavenly Dao is above, and I, the Minghe, now create a being named Asura!"

"The Asura Sect Asura Race, and its Karmic Luck was suppressed by the Twelfth-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus and the Yuantu and Abi swords."

As Minghe's voice faded, the heavens billions of miles above reacted immediately, with golden light churning and golden clouds of merit continuously surging forth from the void.

Then it suddenly plummeted down into the Netherworld Blood Sea below, canceling out the Sha Qi above Netherworld Blood Sea.

Upon seeing this scene, the Minghe deep within the Netherworld Blood Sea was filled with immense joy.

At the same time, a sudden realization slowly emerged in his mind, allowing him to understand the whole story behind this divine favor.

After a long while, all the golden light of merit in the sky fell, but only a fraction of the 'calamity Sha Qi's above the vast Blood Sea was gone.

Even so, it was enough to fill Minghe with immense joy.

Moreover, there was another piece of information that pleased Minghe even more: the whole story of his merit, as conveyed by the Heavenly Dao.

It was not the merit he had conjectured from creating living beings and establishing a great religion.

In the Primordial World, creating life does not result in any loss of merit, nor does establishing a great religion result in any loss of merit.

The reason why the Asura Race he created received such immense merit was because of the countless remnant souls he used to create the Asura Race.

It allowed those remnant souls who should have been drowning in the Blood Sea, until they were annihilated, to regain the merit of life.

Moreover, this merit is not bestowed all at once; as the Netherworld Blood Sea gradually absorbs countless remnant souls from the Primordial World, it will continue to accumulate merit.

Heavenly Dao will continue to bestow merits, though the quantity will not be comparable to this time, but the merit lies in its continuous flow.

And also...

The smile on the face of the Ancestor Minghe appeared slightly stiff.

Furthermore, the Asura Race uses the waters of the Blood Sea as their bodies, which to some extent has curbed the expansion of the Netherworld Blood Sea.

To prevent the Netherworld Blood Sea from invading more of the Primordial World and turning it into a land of yin and evil!

As the lord of the Blood Sea —no, as the Blood Sea —even with his Quasi-Sage nature, Minghe couldn't help but feel embarrassed upon seeing this source of merit.

However, the Netherworld Blood Sea was already large enough, and the Minghe had always allowed it to expand on the Blood Sea own; he never intended for it to engulf the Primordial World Blood Sea.

Furthermore, how much of the Blood Sea water could the Asura Race possibly extract? Above, the 'Hongyun' was extinguished by the daily flow of the Blood Sea water.

That would probably be enough to sustain the Asura Race for tens of millions of years.

Looking down at the countless beings he had named Asura, Minghe's face revealed a majestic expression.

With a wave of his hand, countless rays of light shot out and entered the consciousness seas of the Asura.

"This is the method of cultivation. From this day forward, you shall cultivate and multiply within this Blood Sea. Without my permission, you shall not easily step into the Blood Sea."

"Yes, Father God!"

Countless Asura responded simultaneously, their voices shaking the heavens.

Looking at the Asura Race that belonged to his own group, Minghe was overjoyed.

Although it was a soul pieced together from fragments of a soul, it was completely intact under his Law Power. His comprehension, while not heaven-defying, was definitely at a normal level.

Furthermore, his body was refined by the Blood Sea water, making this Asura Race exceptionally born with astonishing combat power. They could definitely become his helpers in the future.

Moreover, as long as there are still living beings perishing in the Primordial World, the Asura Race will have an endless stream of merit.

Sooner or later, he will be able to completely erase this 'Hongyun'.

He was no longer worried. After several Immeasurable Tribulation, his Netherworld Blood Sea was completely wiped out, and the Minghe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wrong..."

Minghe's expression suddenly changed drastically.

"Primordial purple qi!"

With the danger in the Blood Sea temporarily averted, Minghe breathed a sigh of relief, and his mind gradually cleared.

As he gazed at the 'Hongyun' above the Blood Sea, a multitude of thoughts surged through his mind.

He suddenly realized that he hadn't used the merit that had descended upon him that day to quickly offset the 'Hongyun'.

Instead, they collected the Blood Sea and covered it, preventing the 'Hongyun' from coming into contact with the Blood Sea.

That huge amount of merit, plus the continuous stream of merit from the Asura Race.

Not only could it eliminate one percent of the 'Hongyun,' it might even free his Blood Sea from the corrosion of that 'Hongyun'.

Besides...

If he left that merit behind, wouldn't he be able to use it to protect himself, step into the 'Hongyun,' and simultaneously extinguish the 'Hongyun' while searching for the Primordial purple qi?

The more Minghe thought about it, the more his heart ached.

"That was too hasty!"
