SWDnovel Chapter 3 Blood Sea Divine Power
Chapter 3 Blood Sea Divine Power
Kunpeng sat upright in the void, his body exuding Daoist charm.
With a wave of his sleeve, three dazzling beams of divine light flew out from his sleeve and hovered three feet in front of him.
A divine light, crimson as fire, transformed into a twelve-petaled lotus platform.
This lotus platform is crystal clear, as if carved from red jade. It is ablaze with karmic fire, which does not burn the physical body but burns the sins of the primordial spirit. It is a first-class protective weapon in the primordial world.
It was none other than that supreme innate spiritual treasure—the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus!
The other two beams of divine light transformed into two ancient-style longswords.
A sword, its blade wreathed in blood-red light and exuding a chilling killing intent, was named "Yuan Tu".
The other sword was as black as ink, exuding a murderous aura, and was named "Abi".
The two swords hovered in the air, their cries sounding like the howls of countless wronged souls, stirring up boundless killing intent.
"These three treasures are all top-grade innate spiritual treasures, containing forty-eight innate restrictions, which are in accordance with the numbers of the Heavenly Dao."
Kunpeng secretly made his own plans.
In the primordial world, magical treasures were ranked in strict order.
The Primordial Treasure possesses forty-nine restrictions, corresponding to the Fifty Great Daos and the Forty-Nine Heavenly Evolutions.
There are forty-eight top-grade innate spiritual treasures.
To fully refine a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, one must be a Grandmaster of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.
Although Kunpeng is now a Great Luo Golden Immortal with profound magical power, he has spent tens of thousands of years refining only about twenty of the restrictions on these three treasures, not even half of them.
Even so, it was enough for him to unleash the immense power of these three treasures.
"The Red Lotus of Karmic Fire is primarily for defense. Standing upon it, one becomes impervious to all spells and can even draw upon karmic fire to protect oneself and burn away powerful enemies."
"The Yuan Tu and A Bi swords are supreme weapons of slaughter, unparalleled in their killing prowess, untouched by karma, capable of severing one's spiritual cultivation and destroying one's very soul!"
Kunpeng's eyes gleamed, and a surge of heroic spirit rose in his heart.
"Now that I possess the five supreme Dao principles of wind, water, devouring, blood, and slaughter, and have these three supreme treasures protecting me, among all the Great Luo Golden Immortals in this primordial world, there are probably very few who can rival me!"
This is by no means an arrogant statement.
At this time, Hongjun had not yet preached the Dao, and the method of severing the three corpses had not yet been revealed. All living beings cultivated the Dao and their physical bodies.
Kunpeng already had a deep foundation, and now he possessed multiple top-tier laws and held supreme treasures for both killing and defense. Even if he encountered Donghuang Taiyi, who wielded the Chaos Bell, he would dare to confront him head-on!
Moreover, he now possesses this Netherworld Blood Sea.
"Within this sea of blood, I am practically immortal!"
Thinking of this, Kunpeng's mind stirred, he formed a hand seal, and softly uttered a command:
"Blood God Child, emerge!"
Rumble—!
Countless waves of blood surged into the sky, twisting and transforming in mid-air before finally coalescing into figures clad in blood-red Taoist robes.
At a glance, they were densely packed, endless, and covered the sky, numbering a staggering 480 million!
These figures all had faces identical to Kunpeng, except that their expressions were blank, their eyes were bloodshot, and they exuded a strong aura of blood.
This is the famous divine power that originally belonged to the Styx Ancestor—the Blood God Child Avatar!
"The sea of blood will never dry up, and the River Styx will never die."
As Kunpeng looked at the countless clones covering the sky and felt the faint, mysterious connection between himself and them, an indescribable sense of security welled up in his heart.
Each Blood God Child is equivalent to an external avatar of him.
As long as there is still a Blood God Child, even if the physical body of the original body is destroyed, the primordial spirit can instantly be entrusted to the clone and reborn with the power of the Blood Sea.
To kill him completely, one must completely evaporate this boundless Netherworld Blood Sea and refine these 480 million Blood God Children.
However, the Blood Sea is a place where primordial filth gathers, bearing the enormous causal cycle of the cycle of heaven and earth.
Even the future high-ranking Heavenly Saints would not dare to be tainted by this overwhelming karma that could knock them down from their sainthood.
"However, although the Blood God's children of the Styx had the advantage of being numerous and immortal, their individual strength was actually quite weak."
Kunpeng's divine sense swept over them and found that most of these newly born Blood God children only had the cultivation of Earth Immortal or Heaven Immortal, with the strongest being no more than True Immortal.
If they were to encounter a true master, a single wide-range supernatural attack could kill or injure a large number of them, leaving them only as cannon fodder.
"Now that this supernatural power belongs to me, Kunpeng, I should make some improvements."
A glint of light flashed in Kunpeng's eyes, and his original Great Dao Laws began to operate.
"Devour Law, Merge!"
His hands flew, unleashing streams of jet-black devouring Dao patterns that rained down like black droplets, merging into the bodies of the 480 million Blood God Children.
In an instant, those Blood God Children who had been expressionless suddenly trembled.
The crimson color in their eyes became even deeper and more eerie. With a single breath, the wandering vengeful spirits and ghosts around them were swallowed into their bellies like rivers flowing into the sea.
The Blood Sea is a place where primordial filth gathers. Since the beginning of time, countless beings have died, and their remnants and resentments have sunk here.
And how vast the primordial wilderness was, how numerous the living beings were!
Since Houtu has not yet been reincarnated, even though there are 480 million Blood God Children, the endless stream of remnant souls in the Blood Sea is enough to sustain them.
The original Blood God Child could only rely on the Blood Sea's instincts for nourishment, resulting in extremely slow growth.
Now, having integrated the Devouring Law, the Blood God Child can devour endless remnant souls, essence blood, and even the flesh and blood of enemies in the Blood Sea to strengthen himself.
Given time, if all 480 million Blood God Children had the cultivation of Golden Immortal, or even Taiyi Golden Immortal or Daluo Golden Immortal, what a terrifying scene that would be.
Even a sage would probably shudder at the sight of this!
Having done all this, Kunpeng sat cross-legged on the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus with satisfaction, and began to plan for his future.
"The initial calamity of the Dragon-Han era is nearing its end, and the decline of the three races is a foregone conclusion."
Kunpeng gazed at the primordial continent, pondering its future trajectory.
"Next comes the battle between the Dao and the Demon."
The Demon Ancestor Rahu established the Demonic Sect on Mount Sumeru in the west, intending to compete with the Dao Ancestor Hongjun for the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth.
This battle was fierce, and in the end, Rahu detonated the western earth veins, allowing Dao Ancestor Hongjun to attain the Primordial Dao Fruit and achieve the status of a Sage.
Kunpeng has no intention of participating in this impending catastrophe.
"The conflict between the Dao and the Demonic has the greatest impact on the western lands, but it does not affect my land of the Northern Sea of Blood."
Although he was confident in his greatly increased strength, he wouldn't be foolish enough to get involved in the conflict between the Dao and the Demonic.
That was a battlefield for Primordial Golden Immortals and even half-step Saints, and the karma involved was too great; a slight mistake could turn one into ashes.
"Once the battle between the Dao and the Demons comes to an end, and Hongjun attains sainthood, the sermon at Zixiao Palace will not be far off."
Thinking of this, Kunpeng's heart tightened slightly.
The preaching at Zixiao Palace is the only chance for countless beings in the primordial world to defy fate and change their destiny.
In the Purple Cloud Palace, the most eye-catching thing was the seven strands of Primordial Purple Qi!
That is the foundation of the Heavenly Dao, the opportunity to become a saint!
If you don't become a saint, you'll remain an ant.
This statement is an irrefutable truth in the primordial world.
Only by attaining the Primordial Saintly Position can one be indestructible through countless eons and live a carefree life.
As for whether or not to use the Primordial Purple Qi to become a saint, Kunpeng had other plans in mind.
"Later generations have said that those who become saints by using the Primordial Purple Qi can enjoy the authority of the Heavenly Dao, but they will also be subject to the Heavenly Dao and have no chance to advance any further. They are nothing more than puppets of the Heavenly Dao."
Whether this statement is true or false still needs to be verified.
I will study the Primordial Purple Qi properly when I obtain it in the future.
After all, with my current level of cultivation, I still don't know what kind of cultivation method that sage used. I can only take it one step at a time and see what happens.
He is cautious by nature and would never easily entrust his future to a path that is not yet clear.
"However, even putting aside the Primordial Purple Qi, I absolutely cannot be absent from the distribution of treasures at Zixiao Palace."
Kunpeng recalled the famous Zixiao Palace where treasures were distributed.
The protective treasures of later great beings such as the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti, and even Donghuang Taiyi mostly originated from this.
That was a tremendous opportunity that could influence the entire primordial world.
Although he now possesses great treasures such as the Yuan Tu, A Bi, and the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, who would complain about having too many innate spiritual treasures?
If he could acquire a few more top-grade spiritual treasures, his position in the prehistoric world would be even more secure, and he would have more options if he were to attempt to sever his corpse in the future.
Thinking of this, Kunpeng felt even more relaxed.
He looked around at the empty sea of blood, and suddenly his brows furrowed slightly.
"We have the magic weapon and the temple, but it seems that something is still missing in terms of foundation."
The vast Netherworld Blood Sea was filled with nothing but blood and malevolent energy, without even a single decent spiritual root.
Thinking back to the Northern Sea, it was desolate beyond anything but eternal ice.
"Wealth, companions, methods, and land—what I lack now is a top-tier innate spiritual root."
In Zhen Yuanzi's Wuzhuang Temple, there is a ginseng fruit tree, one of the ten spiritual roots.
In West Kunlun there are peach trees, and in East Kunlun there are yellow plums.
Even on the Sun and Moon stars, there are the Fusang Divine Tree and the Laurel Divine Tree.
These are all top-tier innate spiritual roots from the primordial era, their value no less than that of top-tier spiritual treasures, and they can even suppress the great fortune of a region.
However, his two major temples were completely bare, which was rather shabby.
"Now that the great war between the three races has just ended, although the primordial land is shattered, it also means that the old order has collapsed and new opportunities are being conceived."
Many unclaimed blessed lands and innate spiritual roots may be in a state of being unclaimed, waiting for a destined person.
"Instead of sitting idly in a sea of blood, why not go out and try your luck?"
Kunpeng is a decisive person; once he made up his mind, he no longer hesitated.
He immediately conjured a Blood God Child clone with the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, which sat in the Blood Sea Palace to oversee the Blood Sea Formation, in order to prevent any villains from taking advantage of the situation.
His true form, however, blurred and transformed into a giant roc, bursting out of the Netherworld Blood Sea.
