Primordial Era: I, the Lamp Burner, intercept the Western opportunity at the outset.

Despite the overwhelming aura of slaughter, Ran Deng remained calm.

In terms of magical treasures, he possesses two top-grade innate spiritual treasures and one acquired merit treasure; in terms of cultivation, he is already at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm; the Styx River has the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, while he himself possesses the World-Destroying Black Lotus.

The only drawback is that Randeng's understanding of the laws of creation is not deep enough at this time, and he has not yet formed the prototype of the Great Dao of Reincarnation.

Finally, Ran Deng moved. He no longer concealed his cultivation level of the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. He made a hand seal and poured all his magical power into the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler to meet the two killing swords.

The crimson light blades, like a raging sea of ​​blood, were absorbed and obliterated by the space within the Primordial Measuring Ruler the moment they came into contact with it.

Randeng knew that the space within his Primordial Measuring Ruler was not an ordinary space, but the prototype of a world, which was why he could place an innate spiritual root inside.

"Mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal, how could you possibly cultivate so quickly?"

Styx's tone was filled with surprise. Since he took human form, he had been cultivating in seclusion in the Blood Sea, comprehending the Laws of Blood through the Blood Sea Array.

He boasted that he was the fastest-rising innate saint in the entire prehistoric world, but he never expected that an unknown Taoist would advance to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal first.

Burning Lamp chuckled, "Fellow Daoist, your sea of ​​blood is both too large and too small!"

Since his birth, he has cultivated the earth's veins, accumulated merit, participated in grand gatherings, and defeated Taiyi. His current cultivation level is the result of his foresight and precognition, which he has achieved step by step. Why would Styx think that hard work will necessarily lead to a high level of cultivation?

When Styx discovered that the Yuan Tu Sword and the Abi Sword could not harm Randeng, the surrounding sea of ​​karmic fire suddenly erupted, and endless karmic flames burned towards Randeng, trying to arouse the karma on Randeng's body and the desires in his heart.

However, the Mirror of Merit within the Dipankara spirit emitted a golden light, which firmly protected the Dipankara spirit, preventing the flames of karma from penetrating its spiritual platform.

"How could you possibly be without karma?"

Styx found it hard to believe that every living being is tainted with karma to some extent.

Randeng grinned but didn't reply. Karma is something everyone naturally has; even acquiring spiritual treasures and roots will leave you with karma. But Randeng has so much merit that he can use it to offset his karma.

Seeing that his three spiritual treasures were ineffective, Styx pondered to himself how he had come to encounter this innate deity who happened to be able to restrain him.

However, Styx did not give up. He made a hand seal and an endless blood sea phantom appeared behind him. Then, his whole body quietly shattered and turned into endless blood god children, which entered the phantom.

The sea of ​​blood transformed from illusion to reality, surging into the surrounding karmic fire space. This was a divine power cultivated by Styx in combination with his 480 million Blood God Child clones, called Body Transformation into Sea of ​​Blood. In the darkness, it could leverage a trace of the sea of ​​blood's authority to bestow upon himself.

Upon being touched by the blood sea water, Randeng immediately felt his protective golden light being eroded. As the place in the entire prehistoric world that deals with all kinds of negative filth, the most important ability of the blood sea is to erode and wear away.

If it were to break through my protective golden light, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal's body would be completely worn away in no time.

"This is bad. The Styx River has transformed into a sea of ​​blood, and its abilities are extremely strange. Fellow Daoist Ran Deng may suffer a loss."

Tongtian watched anxiously from the side.

"Don't rush, Third Brother. Haven't you noticed that Fellow Daoist Ran Deng hasn't made a move yet? It means he's handling this battle with ease."

Taishang restrained the restless Tongtian and explained to him.

Taishang is right. Randeng has been on the defensive since his battle with Styx, mainly because he wants to test his strength among the innate gods of the prehistoric world.

The Styx River is the best target, with top-tier origins and outstanding magical treasures. In the primordial world, it was almost on par with the Three Pure Ones, and in terms of battles during the Great Luo Golden Immortal era, the Three Pure Ones might not even be stronger than it.

Having fought this far, Ran Deng had a pretty good idea of ​​what he was capable of. Within the same realm, he was almost fearless against any innate saint.

He first lightly tapped his finger, and the Jade Void Glazed Lamp shone brightly with golden light. The Eternal Golden Flame surged out and collided with the sea of ​​blood. The Eternal Golden Flame contained purifying power and was specifically designed to overcome filth.

When the Eternal Golden Flame fell into the sea of ​​blood, strange phenomena immediately arose, and the blood-red seawater evaporated continuously as if it were being boiled.

On the other side, the Burning Lamp Technique changed again, and a phantom of a world appeared behind the Primordial Measuring Ruler, carrying the weight of a world, and smashed hard towards the Yuan Tu Sword and the Abi Sword.

The two deadly weapons let out a mournful cry, yet they still struggled to hold on.

Seeing this, Ran Deng activated the merit within his primordial spirit and poured it into the Falling Treasure Coin, causing the pair of cloud wings to immediately brighten.

All the Three Pure Ones saw was a flash of golden light on the battlefield, and the Styx's Yuan Tu Sword and A Bi Sword were knocked to the ground.

The Falling Treasure Coin also unleashed its supernatural power for the first time, and it certainly did not disappoint Randeng.

At the same time, within the coffin palace lantern, the ghostly fire transformed into a gray fire dragon, rushing straight towards the River Styx and burrowing into his forehead.

Styx focused all his attention on controlling the Blood Sea and confronting the Burning Lamp. When the Netherworld Ghost Fire invaded his spiritual platform and burned his primordial spirit, he let out a miserable scream.

Taking advantage of the situation, Ran Deng activated the Primordial Measuring Ruler and smashed it hard against Styx's body. Styx, in his haste, only had time to recall the Karmic Fire Red Lotus to form a barrier to block it.

With a crack, the barrier formed by the Karmic Fire Red Lotus shattered, the Styx River was sent flying and crashed heavily into the mountain wall, and the entire valley, except for the place where the Innate Banana Tree was located, was broken.

With the defeat of the Styx River, the karmic fire space also dissipated, and the entire valley returned to its clear state.

"How is it? Fellow Daoist Styx, you've lost this time, haven't you?"

Burning Lamp's gaze was indifferent, as if defeating Styx was merely a trivial matter.

Styx could accept being defeated, but he couldn't stand Randeng's indifferent expression, and snorted coldly.

"Fellow Daoist Ran Deng, don't be too proud of yourself. The Three Primal Elements Gathering is on the east bank of the river, and on the west bank; don't underestimate the Styx River's resources!"

Randeng couldn't help but touch his nose, wondering if he was being treated as a villain by Styx.

Then the Styx River transformed into a streak of blood-red light and fled outwards, leaving Mount Buzhou and heading towards its own sea of ​​blood.

Styx secretly vowed that this time, he would never leave the Blood Sea until he had cultivated to the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal.

When the Three Pure Ones saw that Randeng had defeated Styx, they all stepped forward to congratulate him.

"Haha, I knew Fellow Daoist Ran Deng could easily take down the Styx River."

Yuanshi laughed loudly. He valued lineage above all else. The Styx River was nothing more than the umbilical cord and filthy blood of Pangu, the father god. How could it be compared with the Three Pure Ones?

At this moment, the Four Symbols Banana Leaf Fan finally came into being. The four colors of banana leaf fan—red, yellow, blue, and cyan—separated from the main body and shot out towards the outside world.

Ran Deng and the Three Pure Ones each made their move, unleashing their supernatural powers to envelop the banana leaf fan.

Randeng had his eye on the banana leaf fan, which belonged to the Earth element. With the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler imprisoning the surrounding space, Randeng easily grabbed the banana leaf fan and imprinted it with his primordial spirit.

The Banana Leaf Fan is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure with thirty-six innate restrictions, possessing the supernatural power to move mountains and suppress strongholds.

One fan can stabilize thousands of mountains and valleys, two fans can move the spiritual veins of the Five Sacred Mountains, and three fans can draw in the dragon energy of the earth's veins, suppressing all techniques of soaring into the air and teleporting.

Moreover, Burning Lamp can also comprehend the laws of the earth by using the Earthly Banana Leaf Fan, thus accelerating his cultivation speed.

The Three Pure Ones also obtained their respective banana leaf fans: Taishang obtained a fire-attribute banana leaf fan, Tongtian obtained a water-attribute banana leaf fan, and Yuanshi obtained a wind-attribute banana leaf fan.
