Chapter 252 Innate Treasure, the Chaos Five Elements Flag! Arrival at the Netherworld Blood Sea!
Emperor Jun sat on his throne, taking in all the demonic forms within the palace.
He naturally understood Fuxi's concerns, but the words of Donghuang Taiyi and Kunpeng, as well as the fighting spirit of the demon gods, were more in line with his current mindset.
"This bull has repeatedly opposed my demon race."
"You even dare to steal the Moon Goddess Xihe, whom I value so highly."
"If he dares to interfere in the affairs of the human race, I will teach him a lesson."
With this in mind, Di Jun had already made up his mind.
Under the arrangement of the sage Nuwa, he completed a heavenly marriage with the Tushan Blood Fox, received blessings from the heavens, and was bestowed with a great deal of merit.
Di Jun also advanced to the level of a sub-saint through this.
In Di Jun's opinion, no matter how strong Niu Ben was, he was definitely no match for him.
With this thought in mind, Di Jun glanced around and slowly stood up.
Seeing this, the many high-ranking demons who were discussing amongst themselves in the hall fell silent, waiting for Di Jun to speak.
After standing up, Di Jun didn't delay and said directly:
"The Witch Clan is currently the greatest enemy of our Demon Clan."
"What Taiyi and the Demon Master said is not without reason."
"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."
"Taking action against the human race is imperative!"
Upon hearing what Di Jun said, Donghuang Taiyi and Kunpeng were naturally satisfied, and all the demon gods also showed excitement.
Only Fuxi looked somber and worried.
He couldn't explain why, but he always felt that it wasn't a good idea for the demon race to attack the human race.
At this moment, Di Jun turned his gaze and looked directly at Fu Xi, then said:
"Of course."
"We must also take into account what the Emperor Xi considered."
"Therefore, this attack on the human race must not be carried out openly, lest it give others a handle against us."
"Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, Jiu Ying, and Gui Che, heed my command!"
As Di Jun spoke, Ji Meng and the other four demon gods stepped forward and said in unison:
"Your subordinate is here!"
Di Jun nodded and gave the order:
"You four will lead a secret expedition to the mortal realm, harvesting human essence and blood in batches from different human regions to forge divine weapons!"
"Remember, this matter must be handled with utmost care, and must not alarm any powerful figures."
Upon hearing the order, Ji Meng and the other four demon gods immediately bowed and accepted the command:
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Then, Ji Meng and the other demon gods did not delay and quickly took action.
……
On the other side, after leaving Wuzhuang Temple, Niu Ben and Houtu continued to travel across the prehistoric land.
Mountains and rivers shift, stars and constellations turn.
Unbeknownst to many, over a thousand years have passed.
On this day, Niu Ben and Hou Tu were walking on the earth.
Suddenly, a system notification sounded in Niu Ben's mind:
【Ding! 】
【Congratulations, Master!】
[Treasure forging and fusion successful!]
[Obtained the Primordial Treasure: The Chaos Five Elements Flag.]
"What?"
Upon hearing the system's notification, Niu Ben's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
He had already collected all five innate flags long ago.
Then, using the upgraded forging scroll rewarded by the system, he began forging and fusing the Five Innate Flags.
Now, after so many years, the fusion and forging have finally been successful.
Shocked, Niu Ben didn't think much of it and immediately began to check.
A wisp of his divine consciousness directly entered the system space.
But there, a simple, ancient flag floated silently.
The flagpole has a chaotic color, as if it carries the mysteries of the world before it was created.
The flag moves without wind, its patterns flowing and displaying five colors of mysterious light: blue, red, yellow, white, and black, corresponding to the innate five elements!
Metal's sharpness, wood's vitality, water's resilience, fire's ferocity, and earth's weight.
The five primal forces blend perfectly on the flag, circulating endlessly, emanating a terrifying aura capable of stabilizing the earth, water, fire, and wind, and recreating chaos!
Just as Niu Ben was checking, the system notification sounded again:
The Chaos Five Elements Flag: A supreme treasure combining offense and defense!
[By wielding this flag, one can control the five elements of the world, making one impervious to all laws, and even evolve the Five Elements Great Realm to trap and annihilate all things!]
"well!"
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben couldn't help but secretly admire him.
He has no shortage of innate spiritual treasures.
However, this innate treasure is not yet available.
Now that the Five Elements Flags have been successfully forged and fused, he has a powerful weapon at his disposal.
"With this in hand, even when facing a Heavenly Saint, I truly have a bit of confidence to maneuver and protect myself!"
Niu Ben said quietly.
He is truly the number one genius below even a saint.
But above him are the Heavenly Saints.
Although he had never actually fought against a Heavenly Dao Saint, Niu Ben knew that the power of a Saint was terrifying beyond measure!
Now that he has the Chaos Five Elements Flag, Niu Ben is confident that he can even fight against a Heavenly Dao Saint.
"Um?"
Seeing Niu Ben suddenly stop, Houtu Ancestral Witch also stopped and uttered a soft question:
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben, what's wrong?"
Why did it suddenly stop?
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben quickly snapped out of his daze and smiled, saying:
"It's nothing."
"Let's continue on our way!"
Having said that, Niu Ben didn't linger and took the lead in walking out.
When Houtu, the ancestral witch, saw this, a hint of doubt flickered between her brows.
After a brief pause, she didn't think much of it and quickly caught up with Niu Ben.
And so, Niu Ben and Houtu continued their journey.
After an unknown amount of time, the two arrived at a certain place.
The surrounding atmosphere was cold and filthy, filled with a nauseating stench of blood and malevolent energy.
Before them stretched a boundless, dark red ocean.
In the sea of blood, waves of blood surged, and no fish or shrimp could survive.
It seems that all the malevolent energy of heaven and earth has gathered here!
Upon seeing this, a strange light flashed in Niu Ben's eyes, and he knew where this place was: the Netherworld Blood Sea.
He was no stranger to the Netherworld Blood Sea.
This place is where, when the great god Pangu transformed into the primordial chaos, his navel fell into the depths of the void, merging with the turbid energy and the remnants of demonic gods generated during the creation of the world, ultimately forming a boundless sea of blood.
Within the sea of blood, the filth of heaven and earth and the resentment of demons and gods converge.
As a combination of innate malevolent energy and the resentment of all living beings, the true water of the Blood Sea flowing within it can corrupt and devour everything.
Those cultivators below the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal who enter this place will perish and never return.
Besides that, Niu Ben also knew.
This Netherworld Blood Sea is the place where Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, will be reborn.
"We've finally arrived!"
Niu Ben sighed quietly.
At the same time, Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, stood at the edge of the Blood Sea. Upon seeing the scene inside the Blood Sea, her gaze suddenly sharpened.
All around the sea of blood, countless dazed, transparent, and illusory figures floated.
Many of them were none other than the souls of human beings!
These souls, with blurred faces and empty eyes, remain in the posture they were in before death, wandering aimlessly and emitting silent wails.
In addition, there are the remnants of many other races and beings, in various forms, but all of them have lost their intelligence.
These souls, like dandelion seeds scattered by the wind, instinctively converged into the sea of blood.
"Boom!"
However, this land of blood, which seems to be a place where souls can find rest, is actually more like a living hell.
