The Heavenly Dragon's Beginning in the Journey Through the Heavens

Now, Ling Feng has gathered all the other items needed to fuse with the Chaos Green Lotus.

Now, all that's missing is the crucial Karmic Fire Red Lotus, which we haven't yet obtained.

Ling Feng could have patiently waited for the system reward, after all, the system was always mysterious and powerful, and it was like a timely rain.

But Ling Feng wasn't the type to sit and wait for opportunities to come to him; he decided to take the initiative and get his hands on the last lotus platform.

Ling Feng might not know much about other things, but when it comes to the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, he knows it like the back of his hand.

He knew perfectly well that this lotus platform was the symbiotic magic treasure of the Styx Ancestor.

The Styx Ancestor was a renowned figure in the later prehistoric world.

Ling Feng secretly planned that he would personally go to the Styx Ancestor to borrow the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, and he thought that the Ancestor should not have any objections.

After all, he had already borrowed things from Demon Ancestor Rahu and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, so there was no reason for him to suffer a setback at the hands of a mere Styx Ancestor.

Moreover, even if the Styx Ancestor had some concerns at first, Ling Feng was confident that he could reason with him and make him willingly lend him the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

This Styx Ancestor was a being born from the Netherworld Blood Sea.

Legend has it that this Netherworld Blood Sea was transformed from Pangu's navel.

In the past, when Pangu separated heaven and earth, he exhausted all his strength and finally collapsed.

His body parts transformed into all things in the world, while the Netherworld Blood Sea that formed from his navel gathered all the filth in his body.

This foul air contains endless evil and darkness, making the Netherworld Blood Sea an extremely dangerous place.

Ling Feng had already confirmed several rumors about Pangu, so he didn't question the claim that the Netherworld Blood Sea was formed from Pangu's navel.

With unwavering faith and boundless confidence, Ling Feng finally arrived at the Netherworld Blood Sea.

The moment he stepped inside, a strong stench of blood hit him, causing him to frown involuntarily.

Before them lay a sea of ​​blood, a deep crimson, its waves surging, resembling a burning sea of ​​blood.

Amidst the churning waves of blood, high sprays of water frequently erupted, their sizzling sound seemingly capable of corroding everything.

This place truly lives up to its reputation as a place where filth gathers; the air is filled with a suffocatingly evil aura, and everything around seems so sinister and terrifying.

In the distance, one could vaguely see some strange creatures moving through the sea of ​​blood, their eyes gleaming with an eerie light, as if they were watching everyone who had entered this territory.

A fierce wind howled past, carrying a sharp whistling sound, as if it were the wails of countless wronged souls, sending chills down one's spine.

For ordinary people, the scene before them was a hopeless situation, making it impossible to survive there.

However, none of these were problems for Ling Feng.

Since he successfully broke through to the realm of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, his strength has undergone earth-shattering changes.

His body is like a perfect vessel for cultivation, able to adapt freely to all kinds of harsh environments.

His soul was incredibly resilient, like steel that had been forged countless times, and no evil spirit could shake his will.

His magical power was powerful and boundless, like a vast ocean, inexhaustible and limitless.

No place can hinder his cultivation.

With his current strength, he can easily absorb even the most violent and destructive chaotic energy for his own cultivation.

The primordial energy contains the most primordial power of the universe. If an ordinary person were to come into contact with even a trace of it, they would be torn to shreds by that terrifying power.

But Ling Feng was able to tame it and turn it into the driving force for his progress, so why would he be afraid of this mere filth?

Ling Feng had only been in the Netherworld Blood Sea for a short time, and before he could even actively seek out the Styx Ancestor, the Styx Ancestor himself had already come to him.

The Styx Ancestor was the first living being born in this Netherworld Blood Sea. From the moment of his birth, he was closely connected with this Netherworld Blood Sea.

He regarded this Netherworld Blood Sea as his own territory and would not tolerate any outsiders intruding upon it.

Now that Ling Feng has so recklessly barged into his territory, he, as the owner of the land, naturally has to come and check the situation.

A streak of blood-red light flashed across the distance like a shooting star, instantly arriving in front of Ling Feng.

After the bloody light dissipated, the tall and eerie figure of the Styx Ancestor appeared before Ling Feng.

The Styx Ancestor was shrouded in a layer of blood-red light. His face was ferocious and terrifying, and his eyes were like burning blood flames, radiating a terrifying light.

A thick layer of blood mist surrounded his body, from which came occasional shrill screams, as if countless wronged souls were struggling within it.

Ling Feng quietly looked at the Styx Ancestor standing in front of him, his gaze lingering for a few more seconds on the blood-red lotus platform floating above the Styx Ancestor's head.

This lotus platform has a unique shape. Each petal is like a sharp blade, shimmering with a blood-red light. Strands of blood flow on the petals, emitting a strong bloody smell.

At the center of the lotus platform, a blood-red flame was burning fiercely, seemingly containing some mysterious power.

This lotus platform must be his target for this trip—the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Before the Styx Ancestor could speak, Ling Feng preemptively stated his purpose:

"Styx, I have come here for this Karmic Fire Red Lotus. I hope you will part with it."

His voice was loud and firm, echoing for a long time above the Netherworld Blood Sea.

When the Styx Ancestor learned of Ling Feng's purpose, his eyes, which had been as calm as still water, suddenly widened in anger, and he was furious.

However, the Styx Ancestor had spent countless years navigating the perilous prehistoric world, possessing a calmness and rationality far beyond that of ordinary people.

His gaze was fixed on Ling Feng, like two tangible beams of light, trying to see through him.

However, no matter how he circulated his magic power and used his supernatural abilities, he could never fathom the depths of Ling Feng's strength.

Ling Feng was like an unfathomable mountain, or a vast and boundless sea, inspiring both awe and apprehension in him.

Therefore, despite being extremely angry, he did not act impulsively. He simply stared angrily at Ling Feng, his eyes filled with both rage and wariness.

Seeing that the Styx Ancestor was only glaring angrily but not saying anything, Ling Feng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a slightly provocative smile.

He slowly closed his eyes, and his aura began to subtly surge.

In an instant, an even more powerful aura surged forth from his body like a volcanic eruption.

Its momentum was like a surging tide, or a roaring dragon, spreading wildly in all directions.

The entire sea of ​​blood seemed to be awed by this aura, and the originally churning blood became quieter, as if in awe of this powerful force.

The Styx Ancestor is only at the late stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Although he is considered a powerful figure in this world, he is as insignificant as an ant facing a giant in the face of Ling Feng's overwhelming aura.

He felt like a lone boat adrift in a storm on a vast ocean.

The surging momentum was like an invisible force, constantly impacting his body and soul, causing his body to tremble involuntarily.

His breathing became rapid and heavy, each breath like a desperate struggle against the force of the attack.

However, the Styx Ancestor believed that he was born in this Blood Sea and had countless connections with it.

As long as this sea of ​​blood does not dry up, the Styx Ancestor will live forever.

This confidence prevented him from surrendering when faced with Ling Feng's overwhelming aura.

Seeing the Styx Ancestor's tenacious reaction, Ling Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

His laughter echoed deep within the silent sea of ​​blood, as loud as a great bell.

He likes tough opponents; only in this way can he experience the joy of crushing weaker opponents.

Then, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his magical power surged wildly within him, causing his aura to rise once more.

At the same time, Ling Feng raised his hand and unleashed a burst of law power. This space began to shimmer with strange light, and invisible barriers rose from all directions, sealing the entire space completely.

Now, the Styx Ancestor was like being trapped in an invisible cage, only able to face Ling Feng's overwhelming aura, unable even to escape.

Sensing the change in his surroundings, the Styx Ancestor tensed up instantly, a hint of panic flashing in his blood-red eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately activated his profound magical power, trying to escape this strange place.

However, when he tried to use his magic to tear through space and escape, he was horrified to find that the space around him seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand.

The void that he could once freely traverse was now like an impenetrable cage, every inch of space sealed off completely.

He tried to move even an inch, but felt as if countless shackles were binding his body, and every movement seemed to be imprisoned in time, making it impossible to perform.

Only at this moment did a hint of horror appear on his wrinkled face.

A look of horror rippled across his eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief.

He knew beforehand that there was a gap between him and Ling Feng.

But he never expected that the gap would be so huge.

He once thought that with the profound foundation he had accumulated over countless years of cultivation in the sea of ​​blood, even if he was no match for Ling Feng, he could at least escape unscathed.

But now, he doesn't even have a chance to escape. He's like a lamb to the slaughter, completely at the mercy of others.

The Styx Ancestor was filled with resentment. He struggled frantically, trying to break free of these invisible shackles.

However, all of this was in vain; the sealed space remained motionless, as if mocking his powerlessness.

After struggling for a while, the Styx Ancestor finally realized that his resistance was futile.

His eyes gradually dimmed, and he helplessly accepted his fate.

He sighed deeply, his heart filled with bitterness.

He slowly raised his hand and summoned the karmic fire lotus that emitted an eerie red light above his head.

The Karmic Fire Red Lotus was his natal magic treasure, which had followed him through countless years and was in perfect harmony with his will.

At this moment, he had no choice but to reluctantly part with it and hand it over to Ling Feng.

Ling Feng reached out and beckoned, and the Karmic Fire Red Lotus seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, slowly suspending itself in his hand.

He carefully examined the lotus platform and saw that the karmic fire red lotus was radiating a rich blood-red light, and each petal seemed to contain endless mysteries.

Runes flickered on the lotus platform, emanating a mysterious aura.

Ling Feng's face revealed a triumphant smile; the Karmic Fire Red Lotus had finally fallen into his hands.

Ling Feng didn't go too far afterward.

With a wave of his hand, countless rare and precious materials flew out of his space like dazzling stars and hovered in front of the Styx Ancestor.

These rare and precious materials are all treasures rarely seen in the world. There are immortal herbs that emit strange light, spiritual fruits that contain abundant spiritual energy, and fragments of magical artifacts that shimmer with mysterious runes.

Ling Feng looked at the Styx Ancestor and said:

"These rare and precious materials are offered in exchange for this Karmic Fire Red Lotus. I hope you will not harbor any resentment."

Looking at the rare treasures before him, the Styx Ancestor was still somewhat unwilling, but he knew that he had no other choice.

He suppressed his anger and nodded slightly, accepting Ling Feng's offer.
