Chapter 200 Northern Darkness (Beiming)
"Alas!"
In the eastern sky, Fuxi sighed deeply, his figure flashing as he disappeared from the Xihuang Palace, arriving before the Netherworld Blood Sea.
"Brother Dao, stop!" Bowing to Taiyi, Fuxi pointed towards the Heavenly Court and said,
"Brother Dao, there are still billions of demon warriors in that Heavenly Court. You may feel pleased with yourself for pacifying the Blood Sea today, but the future of those demon warriors is gone."
"I hope you will consider the greater good of the demon race, temporarily quell your thunderous rage, and bypass the River Styx once more."
With the Netherworld Blood Sea destroyed, boundless karma descends. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal might survive, but those demon descendants who haven't reached that level will be burdened by karma, forever unable to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
"Brother Dao, as one of the Three Sovereigns of the Heavenly Court, you bear the responsibility of maintaining the operation of heaven and earth. You must prioritize the primordial world and absolutely must not do anything that shakes the very foundation of heaven and earth, lest you damage the fortune of the Heavenly Court."
"We hope Brother Dao will reconsider!"
After Fuxi finished speaking, several more powerful beings emerged from the void, successively persuading Taiyi to show mercy. "Thank you all for reminding me. It was Taiyi who was not thoughtful enough, and I apologize for causing you all trouble."
After being persuaded one after another, Taiyi gradually calmed down. After a little thought, he understood that what they said was true. He quickly withdrew his supernatural powers and thanked everyone.
"It's alright. Brother Dao was just angry for a moment. Even if we hadn't reminded you, with your wisdom, you would have understood the reason in a while."
Seeing the sun slowly return to its original position, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and politely addressed Taiyi.
"Brother Daoist, the Netherworld Blood Sea is the most defiled place, not a place for us, Innate divine beings, to linger. Let us return to the Heavenly Court first!"
Fuxi glanced at the Styx Daoist out of the corner of his eye and saw the displeasure on his face, fearing that he might cause further trouble, so he quickly said to Donghuang Taiyi.
"Indeed, indeed!"
"We have not seen each other for a long time, and we take this opportunity to go to the Heavenly Court to discuss the Dao. Moreover, Brother Daoist's divine power is almost invincible, far surpassing ours."
"It seems that you have already made some progress in understanding that ethereal Primordial Realm, so we humbly ask Brother Daoist for some guidance. We hope that Brother Daoist will not hold back."
Sensing Fuxi's intentions, everyone echoed him. In short, letting Taiyi leave the Netherworld Blood Sea would definitely not be a bad thing.
"Fellow Daoists, you flatter me greatly. I am unworthy of such kindness. Please proceed ahead, and I will finish my current affairs before heading to the Heavenly Court to reunite with you."
With that, Taiyi bowed deeply, then, ignoring the reactions of the crowd, reached out and suddenly grabbed at the depths of the Blood Sea.
Rumble!
Under Taiyi's terrifying power, even the void groaned under its strain. The entire Blood Sea surged, thunder roared, lightning danced wildly, and numerous strange phenomena manifested.
A beam of blood-red light flew from the depths of the Blood Sea and was firmly grasped in Donghuang Taiyi's hand.
The light was dazzling, containing a drop of blood-red liquid, crystal clear, radiating a boundless blood aura, like the blood of heaven and earth. It was surrounded by the laws of the Great Dao, with endless innate runes dancing within, truly divine.
This substance was called the Blood of Heaven and Earth, nurtured by the Blood Sea for countless years, and was of the utmost preciousness. It was with this item that Styx was able to condense the Blood God Child, a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
"Taiyi, you..."
Seeing this, Styx was furious and about to attack, but realizing he was no match for Taiyi, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.
"Today, for the sake of all of you fellow Daoists, I will spare your life. As for taking this item, it's to teach you a lesson. To let you know that the demon race is not something you can provoke!"
Holding the Blood of Heaven and Earth in his hand, Donghuang Taiyi said to Styx.
"Fellow Daoists, let's go!"
Then, regardless of Styx's reaction, Taiyi turned around and said to Fuxi and the others who had not yet left. " So powerful!, so majestic!"
Through the light screen, Feng Zichen saw Donghuang Taiyi's imposing presence and couldn't help but feel envious, a sense of a true hero rising within him.
At this moment, he somewhat understood how Liu Bang and Xiang Yu felt upon seeing the First Emperor's procession.
To live like this, what more could one ask for in this life!
"Envious?"
"If you are, then go and cultivate diligently. You are the most exceptionally talented person I have ever seen, even some innate gods and demons are far inferior to you."
"Perhaps, in the future, you can achieve something no less than Donghuang Taiyi!"
Noticing the envy in Feng Zichen's eyes, the White Tiger Sacred Beast said with a smile.
"This Taiyi is truly an anomaly, unbelievably strong. If given enough time, reaching the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm would definitely not be difficult for him."
Finally, he sighed with some shock.
"Alright, that's enough for today. I won't waste any more words. Aren't you going to the Northern Underworld to visit that old tortoise, Xuanwu?"
"No need for that trouble. I'm in a good mood now, so I'll give you a ride. Consider it payment for keeping this old man company with your chat."
The White Tiger Sacred Beast waved its hand at Feng Zichen, and an invisible, incredibly powerful force emerged, enveloping him and carrying him through endless space. In an instant, it brought him to the Northern Underworld.
"Hiss, the cold here is so intense."
As soon as he landed, before Feng Zichen could even take in his surroundings, he felt waves of cold that penetrated to his bones, making him shiver involuntarily.
He activated his Primordial Immortal Light, isolating himself from the outside world, and only then did Feng Zichen feel a little better.
He looked around and saw nothing but snow-covered landscapes and glacial rivers, with no land in sight.
The Northern Underworld, located at the northernmost edge of the world, is a place sparsely populated with life and teeming with ferocious beasts. It is a notoriously harsh and cold land in the primordial wilderness.
Unlike the barren West, the Northern Darkness is rich in spiritual energy and abundant in resources, a rare treasure in the primordial wilderness.
However, the Northern Darkness is shrouded in innate cold, so the ice and snow never melt, and heavy snow falls year-round, gradually replacing the land with ice and snow, even transforming the innate energy into a cold attribute. The increasingly harsh cultivation environment has led to a decline in the number of living beings in the Northern Darkness. At the same time, the unique environment of the Northern Darkness has also given birth to many strange creatures.
Among the most representative are the two innate sacred beings born in the Northern Darkness: the Xuanwu, a tortoise and snake in one body, and the Kunpeng, a fish and a bird in one body.
One soul, two bodies, they can transform into each other and merge into one, and even more miraculously, their two bodies are two completely different species.
The creation of heaven and earth is truly wondrous!
"The coldness here is so intense, it must be the heart of the Northern Darkness, not too far from the dwelling place of the Xuanwu sacred beast!"
After looking around and combining the actual situation, Feng Zichen deduced his location. Immediately, without hesitation, he chose a direction and flew north.
