Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 100 Kunpeng and the River Styx (Fifth Update)
After leaving Wuzhuang Temple, Ancestor Hongyun transformed into a streak of crimson light and traveled freely across the vast primordial land.

He has a clear conscience.

I felt as if the sky was high enough for birds to fly freely and the sea was wide enough for fish to leap freely, without any restraint whatsoever.

However, he was unaware that from the moment he left the protection of the Earthly Primordial Array,

In that extremely distant northern land, a pair of sinister eyes had already locked onto him!
Demon Master Kunpeng!

Since the hatred of seizing the throne in Zixiao Palace, for tens of thousands of years, he has been using secret methods to deduce the heavenly secrets of Wuzhuang Temple, waiting for the moment when Hongyun leaves Wuzhuang Temple!
Now the opportunity has finally arrived!

Kunpeng did not make a move immediately.

He was one of the most cunning and cautious beings in the primordial world.

He knew that although Hongyun was easygoing, her cultivation was unfathomable and in no way inferior to his own, and she could not be easily defeated by ordinary means.

He simply followed Hongyun silently, waiting for his chance.

Meanwhile, the unsuspecting Old Ancestor Hongyun continued his journey, enjoying himself immensely while traveling and visiting friends.

He first went to the Fire Cloud Cave, where he discussed the Dao with several powerful rogue cultivators he had known since ancient times for a thousand years.

Then I went to the shore of the East China Sea to watch the tides rise and fall, and to understand the profound principles of the natural world.

As he traveled, he comprehended the supreme principles of the Heavenly Dao contained within the Primordial Purple Qi. He felt his Dao heart was clear and that he seemed to be one step closer to the Primordial Chaos Realm.

However, thousands of years have passed, and all has been peaceful, without encountering any danger.

This made Hongyun's already somewhat inflated Dao heart even more relaxed.

On this day, Ancestor Hongyun was traveling on the prehistoric continent when he suddenly felt that his cultivation seemed to have another opportunity to improve.

With a thought, he transformed into a streak of light, soaring straight into the heavens and arriving at the chaotic realm beyond the heavens.

This place is chaotic in terms of celestial secrets and laws, making it an excellent place to comprehend the origin of the Great Dao and break through bottlenecks.

Hongyun found a relatively stable spot with chaotic energy flow, sat cross-legged, and prepared to enter a meditative state.

However, at this moment, something strange happened!

"Wow—!"

A piercing, extremely sharp cry, as if it could tear apart one's very soul, suddenly erupted from the chaos behind him without warning!
Immediately afterwards, a pitch-black claw that blotted out the sky, carrying endless Northern Darkness cold air, fiercely clawed down towards Hongyun's vital back!
Sneak attack!

This happened so suddenly and so ruthlessly!
Any ordinary quasi-saint would likely have been severely injured on the spot if caught off guard!

However, the Red Cloud Ancestor was, after all, the first red cloud in the world to take human form.

Their sense of crisis is an instinct ingrained in their very bones.

Just as the sharp claws were about to reach him, his tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open!

"disease!"

He let out a loud shout, not even having time to turn around.

Above his head, a bright red gourd appeared in response to his command!

With a gentle shake of the gourd's mouth, a strange red sand, as crimson as blood yet filled with an aura of endless decay and annihilation, instantly transformed into an incredibly thick sand curtain, firmly protecting him within.

It was none other than the supreme innate spiritual treasure—the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd!
"clang--!"

The jet-black claws slammed heavily onto the red sand curtain, producing a deafening clang of metal against metal!

That terrifying power, enough to tear apart a quasi-saint's body, was actually blocked by the seemingly loose red sand!
Using the force of the impact, Ancestor Hongyun instantly drifted hundreds of millions of miles away, creating distance between himself and the attacker.

He steadied himself and turned to look.

When he saw the person's face clearly, his usually cheerful face revealed an incredulous anger and bewilderment for the first time.

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng! Although we have had some minor grievances in the past, they are nothing to swear an oath! Why did you choose to launch this sneak attack on me here today?!"

In the chaos, the demon master Kunpeng, dressed in a black robe and with a slender figure, slowly retracted his right hand, which had transformed into a sharp claw.

His sinister eyes were filled with undisguised resentment and murderous intent.

"A little resentment?" Kunpeng let out a sinister laugh upon hearing this.
"Hongyun! In Zixiao Palace, you relinquished your holy position, seemingly out of kindness, but in reality, you severed my path to immortality! This is an irreconcilable feud!"

Today, I will show you what the fate will be for those who cut off others' paths to enlightenment!

Then Kunpeng stared at the woman in red, as if he could see the primordial purple aura surrounding her primordial spirit, and his eyes were filled with even more jealousy and hatred.

"Moreover, the position of saint should rightfully belong to me! Since you are not fortunate enough to enjoy it, then this wisp of primordial purple energy should rightfully belong to me today!" Upon hearing this, Ancestor Hongyun instantly understood.

He looked at the demon master before him, whose mind was already clouded by jealousy and resentment, and slowly shook his head, a trace of pity appearing on his face.

"Very well, cause and effect are cyclical, and retribution is inevitable. It seems that the cause and effect between us will finally come to an end here today."

He no longer harbored any illusions and gently tossed the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd in his hand.

The gourd grew taller in the wind, eventually reaching a size of ten thousand feet. Endless red sand, carrying scattered souls, burst forth from it, transforming into a long red river that swept across the chaos, rushing towards Kunpeng!

"Kunpeng! You and I are both quasi-saints who have severed one of our corpses, but I have this top-grade innate spiritual treasure to protect me!"

Even if you possess the destiny of a demon master, your desire to defeat me here is utterly delusional!

However, when faced with this scattered red sand that is enough to defile the primordial spirit and obliterate the true soul,

Kunpeng didn't take the hit head-on; instead, it dodged backward.

His face showed no fear whatsoever; instead, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

He knew that Hongyun's Red Cloud Escape Technique was a top-tier life-saving divine ability in the primordial world.

Even if I could defeat it by myself alone.

There's no guarantee that we can completely keep it.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun is right."

Kunpeng's voice grew increasingly cold, "I alone may not be able to keep you here."

"But what if we add another fellow Daoist?"

He just finished speaking.

A chilling laugh, filled with murderous intent, suddenly resounded from another realm of chaos!

Ancestor Hongyun felt a sudden chill and abruptly turned his head.

Amidst the surging chaotic air currents, a long, blood-red river burst forth!

That long river was not ordinary river water, but filthy blood water formed by the blood of hundreds of millions of living beings and endless resentment!
Wherever the blood river passed, even the raging chaotic energy was eroded and hissed!
"The Blood Sea Formation!"

Old Ancestor Hongyun's expression changed drastically, and he cried out in shock!
He recognized at a glance that this was an extremely vicious and supreme killing formation based on the entire Netherworld Blood Sea!
Amidst the surging blood river, a figure clad in a blood-red Taoist robe, with a withered face and an aura of murderous intent emanating from him, slowly rose from within, standing atop a twelfth-grade karmic fire lotus.

Behind him were two swords, one red and one white, exuding endless killing intent, floating uncertainly!
It was none other than the Lord of the Netherworld Blood Sea, the Styx Ancestor!

"Fellow Daoist Styx! Why...why are you here too?!" Ancestor Hongyun's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

He never expected that Kunpeng could persuade Styx, who never easily left the Blood Sea, to come with him to besiege and kill him!

The Styx Ancestor looked at Hongyun, and a smile appeared on his withered face that had never changed in ten thousand years.

“Hongyun, you possess the Primordial Purple Qi, which is a path to your death. You have no one to blame but yourself.”

"Today, I, this humble Taoist, will also strive to seize your holy position!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't waste any more words!
The blood sea formation that had been set up beforehand suddenly started operating!

Endless streams of filthy blood transformed into crimson chains, instantly sealing off the chaotic space spanning billions of miles!

The blood contained the most filthy Netherworld power, which was actually suppressing Hongyun's formless and shapeless true form!

His prized escape technique was rendered completely useless at this moment!
At the same time, the Styx Ancestor pointed towards the red cloud!
Yuantu!

Abi!

"go with!"

A low growl came from the mouth of the Styx.

The two swords behind him, already thirsting for killing power, emitted a sword cry that pierced through the clouds and shattered rocks.

It then transformed into two peerless sword lights, one red and one white, that tore through the chaos, specifically targeting the primordial spirit and piercing straight into the vital point of Hongyun's Purple Mansion!

At the same time, the demon master Kunpeng also let out a sinister laugh.

It transformed into the form of a boundless roc, which emitted countless rays of rainbow light. Together with the two sword lights from the Styx River, they completely blocked all of Hongyun's escape routes.
