Chapter 458: Bloody Sea Dried Out. Immortal Qi Revived.
A gentle breeze blew against the paper. The corner of the paper shook slightly. The ink on the paper dried quickly. It was a short and simple sentence, seamlessly printed on the white paper.
Hopefully, this could come true.
Meanwhile.
“Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha…”
The bloody man formed by Styx Laozu was laughing wildly. He was enjoying the pleasure of the power of violence.
At this moment, he felt as if he was the creator of all. The so-called Jade Emperor and Empress were like ants that he could kill with a foot.
This feeling was too enjoyable!
“Following this, I want you all to feel the power of a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal!”
He raised his hand and a gigantic palm crashed down like a mountain. The crowd was locked inside. This palm was filled with the power of the world and there was no way to hide from it. Before the palm even landed, the wind was already making it hard for them to breathe. Even the pressure of it was able to tear everyone apart and turn them into dust.
Ring!
Daji’s face was pale. The bell kept ringing around her. The golden glow was flashing wildly. Along with the bell’s ringing, golden ripples spread out to her surroundings.
Just like the Fire Phoenix, they were only Daluo Golden Immortals. If it was not for their Protective Armors, they would have been killed within seconds in a battle like this.
They had no way of hiding from Styx Laozu’s strike. Even the Jade Emperor and Empress were unable to withstand it, let alone them.
Everyone was an ant in front of the Saint. The bigger ants might be able to withstand it for slightly longer but would eventually be extinguished.
“Master!”
Deified Dog looked at Yang Jing who was about to be engulfed by the Bloody Sea. It did not think of anything. He tossed out his dog bowl and said, “Protect my master!”
Yang Jing growled with his reddened eyes. He moaned out loud in pain, “Deified, no!”
Although there was no way to survive through this, having a Protective Armor was still better than none.
Vroom!
The gigantic palm landed and the entire world was shaken up. The powerful Qi wiped out everything, forming a destructive tornado that cleared out the surroundings.
The Jade Emperor and the rest were terrified. They were in danger, all their hair was standing up. They felt chills from within, spreading throughout their bodies. They were ready to be dead.
However, they were strangely unharmed. When they looked up, the gigantic bloody palm halted just an inch above their heads.
Right there, a burning red flame rose, forming gigantic flaming wings. It stretched out like a protective umbrella, holding up the bloody palm while protecting the crowd.
Sizz!
Swiftly after, a light chirp rang in their ears. A gigantic phoenix looked out from the Bloody Sea. It was formed by the flame. Its wings opened up as it held up the gigantic palm.
Sizz!
The flame did not look the same as usual. It looked solidified. One could not feel the heat coming from it either. However, the surrounding Bloody Sea was burning up and boiling. Then, it evaporated with a gust of bloody vapor in the air.
“This…this is…”
The Jade Emperor and the rest of the crowd looked at this phoenix. They were dumbfounded by this unrealistic sight.
Fire Phoenix looked at the flaming red gourd in front of her. She said blankly, “The…gourd my master gave me!”
On the surface of the gourd, the carved phoenix was glowing.
“What kind of Ultimate Treasure is this? But it’s still no use!” Styx Laozu was first stunned. Then, he broke into a cold smile. “Crush them!”
An overwhelming pressure exuded from his body, filling the air with his power. He was furious. He wanted to pinch the phoenix with his hand.
However, no matter how hard he tried to, the phoenix did not flinch. In fact, a burning flame rushed out from the body of the phoenix. It was mild in the beginning, but it soon turned very hot!
Finally, even Styx Laozu could not withstand this heat and had to let go.
The surrounding Bloody Sea instantly evaporated. Nothing was left!
Styx Laozu was shocked. He asked in terror, “Where did the phoenix come from?”
Sizz!
The response he had was a sizzling chirp from the phoenix. It outstretched its wings and flew up into the air. It was like a gigantic sharp sword, stabbing right into the bloody man!
“Argh!”
Styx Laozu staggered a few steps backward. He looked down at his chest in disbelief. The wound was still burning. Within a moment, the gigantic bloody man vanished.
“Why, why!?”
There was a growl coming from the air. It sounded like it was unwilling.
“Just a little more! Just a little! Who ruined my plan!? The Bloody Sea never dries out, and the Styx never dies! Wait, you just wait!”
The Bloody Sea seemed to be backing off.
However, Fire Phoenix’s gourd gradually floated in the air. It was slowly spinning while it started to glow. It was exuding a strange power.
Whoosh!
Instantly, the boundless Bloody Sea seemed to have been controlled. It formed a line and was sucked into the gourd.
“No, no! How could that be!”
Styx Laozu was very anxious. The Bloody Sea was struggling to no avail. The four billion and 80 million Blood Clones returned to the Bloody Sea and were sucked into the gourd as well.
The gourd was not big, but its volume seemed to be limitless. One could see the sky full of Bloody Sea rushing into the gourd. It was a very strange sight indeed.
The Bloody Sea was boundless. It was as old as the world. It was impossible for a Saint to kill the Styx because the Bloody Sea never dries and the Styx never dies. Nobody could ever dry out the Bloody Sea that was as old as the world, not even a Saint!
And yet…it happened!
In the Underworld, the Onis watched the Bloody Sea drying out as their pupils dilated. They were dumbfounded. They even thought they were hallucinating.
“Why did you do this to me? I, the Styx, was born along with the world! I fell out and was unable to follow the ordinary Path! I failed at creating lives like Nuwa. I try to get on the Killing Path, but you’re not letting me! I’m also a cultivator. Why can’t you let me improve? Why!?”
Along with a growl in despair, the last drop of the Bloody Sea dried out. The world resumed its peace.
The Jade Emperor and the crowd recovered. They gradually stood up and looked at the floating gourd with the utmost respect. They found it very unreal.
Deified Dog sat on his buttock. His front paws touched his head as he said, surprised, “I’m not dead? I survived? Wow, I’m a survivor!”
Yang Jing tossed the dog bowl back at him. He scoffed, “Why did you give me your dog bowl? It’s pink. Aren’t you ashamed?”
Deified Dog wagged his tail. “Ha-ha, I didn’t have a choice, I can only accept it.”
The Jade Emperor was terrified. He patted his chest and said with terror, “This…the expert got involved?”
“The expert…seems to have dried out the Bloody Sea.” The Empress was shocked. She said, trembling, “This is the Bloody Sea! It has the power of God Pangu. The so-called Styx that never dries out vanished just like this?”
How unbelievable! How terrifying!
The Jade Emperor nodded. “The expert must’ve been triggered. He’s not happy.”
Deified Dog looked up at the spinning gourd and curiously asked, “Why’s the gourd not done yet?”
As he spoke, the gourd sprayed a gust of clear mist.
The water was transparent with dense Spiritual Qi. It was giving out a sizzling sound as limitless mist rushed out from the gourd.
It condensed into rain and showered the ground. The rain was not heavy and it came with a refreshing wind that reduced the heat of the summer. The rain fell on the ordinary realm, reducing the uneasiness and panic of the people.
As the gentle breeze and rain fell, the world was refreshed. Regardless if it was the flowers or trees, the worms or fish, they were all covered in the rain that exuded a powerful vitality. Even the air of the world had a hint of refreshing fragrance.
“Immortal Qi! What a dense Immortal Qi! The Immortal Qi of the world has returned!” The Jade Emperor widened his eyes. He was surprised as he embraced the changes in the world. “This is just how it was like back in the Faraway Era! The Absolute Era’s over!
“The expert seems to have purified the Bloody Sea and then…used its power to change the world!
“This somehow reminded me of the…Water Purifier at the expert’s!”
The destructive disaster vanished just like that. Countless people walked out from their rooms looking up at the brightened sky. They felt the warmth of the sun. They smiled at the vitality after the disaster.
…
At the Linxian Palace.
Qin Manyun tucked the hair in front of her forehead behind her ears. She looked at the faraway sky. There was a gigantic seven-colored arch between the sky and ground!
Her blood-stained lips curled up into a smile. “Master, it’s a rainbow!”
“Yes, it’s a rainbow!”
…
At the same time.
“The bloody sky’s gone.”
Nanan stood on empty land. She looked at the faraway rainbow and said, “It seems like Sister Daji and the rest won! I’m happy!”
With that said, she turned and walked along the path. She was heading toward the East.
This land was empty and filled with soil everywhere. The entire land seemed to have been flattened by some terrifying power. Nothing was left behind.
Furthermore, as she walked ahead, a wave of resistance started to appear. It was extremely chilly, preventing anyone from moving forward.
Since the battle was huge, many cultivators followed Nanan to watch the battle. However, many cultivators had now returned due to the resistance.
All kinds of rumors spread. Some said a treasure was born, some said bigshots were fighting. However, according to what Nanan heard, she was not the only one feeling the sense of familiarity. Many humans and even demons felt a sense of familiarity from it. It was as if a relative was calling out to them.
Meanwhile, it was filled with sacredness and elegance. This had attracted many explorers to investigate.
Nanan’s eyes were filled with curiosity. Her eyes were glowing as she mumbled, “Ha-ha-ha, I just left home and came across such an exciting incident! I must find out what it is!”
