Chapter 1 The Beginning

轰!
轰!

Stars rolled, pressing down on all sides. Starlight filled the sky, as brilliant as a thousand suns hanging in the air, vast and majestic.

"Zhou Tian Xing Dou (Grand Star Formation)!"

The moment he saw it, Blood Spring was shocked beyond measure, his emotional fluctuations ten times greater than being blown out of the atmosphere by a divine wind!

Countless memories surged uncontrollably in his mind.

Since the Da Dao Ji (Great Dao Era) when the Dao Ancestor split the heavens with a stroke of his brush and imparted the Dao of the 'Liangyi Weichen (Two Forms Micro Dust) Formation'.

The upper realm was ruled by the 'Three Sages, Five Emperors, and Twelve Golden Immortals,' along with the 'Seven Great Demon Gods,' including 'Ming,' who held sway over all realms.

The Dragon Erosion Realm was merely one of them.

Legend had it that the major sects of the Dragon Erosion Realm had inherited traditions from the upper realm. Among them, the Taiyue Sect inherited a fragment of the 'Xumi Nine Palaces Formation,' said to have evolved from the 'Liangyi Weichen Formation' by 'Yuan,' one of the Three Sages.

He, on the other hand, had obtained a fragment of the 'Blood Sea Nether Formation' and used it to compete with the world.

However, neither the 'Xumi Nine Palaces Formation' nor the 'Blood Sea Nether Formation' could compare to the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation' comprehended by 'Di Pan' from the 'Liangyi Weichen Formation'!

Legend had it that the Dao Ancestor imparted the Dao to the Sages using the 'Liangyi Weichen', but only 'Pan' received the true transmission. The Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation was more accurately described as a direct inheritance from the Dao Ancestor rather than something 'Di Pan' had comprehended!

But that was a legendary existence even in the Dragon Erosion Realm. He had only seen a corner of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation in the fragmented images when inheriting the Blood Sea Nether!

The realm he came to by opening the void passage with the 'Reincarnation Disc' must be far away from the Dragon Erosion Realm, and the cultivation of this realm did not seem to be the Dao Ancestor's teachings.

In such a world, could there still be the inheritance of 'Di Pan'?!

"Who exactly are you?!"

Great doubts filled his mind, causing him to sweep the void with his powerful will and roar with a soul-stirring voice, using spiritual energy as his tongue.

But the response he received was the crushing of rolling stars and the terrifying sound of spiritual energy colliding with starlight and exploding.

Boom!

The Blood Sea Formation hummed, and countless bloody principles reappeared, taut and trembling, like a bowstring drawn to its limit.

After being enveloped by starlight, the formation spontaneously sensed the danger and trembled.

"Why is it so similar..."

Blood Spring stood in the Blood Sea, muttering to himself, a sense of crisis rising in his heart.

The size of each star itself was insignificant to him, and even the superposition of a thousand stars was not a great weight to him.

But with the stars rolling and the starlight surging, he felt immense pressure.

Every inch of space in this seemingly Star Dou Formation had inexplicably become heavy and long. Looking into the distance, the stars seemed close at hand, yet as far away as the sea of stars.

The Blood Sea Formation expanded several times, but it was suppressed by the pervasive starlight.

The Blood Sea Formation should not have been so vulnerable, but he had made a mistake by falling into the formation and being suppressed by an invisible force.

As a result, when he swept the starry sky with his divine sense, trying to attack, he could not even find anyone, just like Yuan Duxiu before him, trapped in a situation where he could not act.

"Yuan Yang!"

After a long period of agitation, Blood Spring finally couldn't help but sweep the void with his divine sense:

"Come out! Come out!"

......

"Although I have cultivated the Way of Heavenly Secrets, I am still far from my teacher's level..."

In the ring of asteroids, Sun En sat quietly on a meteorite, drifting with it, but his eyes reflected the changes in the Blood Sea Nether Formation.

He had come to the Great Beginning Mountain at the invitation of Feng Xinglie and met An Qisheng, after which his teacher assigned him this task.

He had been waiting in the starry sky for a long time, only leaving a wisp of his divine sense below to watch the battle. When he heard the three chimes of the bell, he activated the formation and trapped the Blood Sea Formation within the Star Dou Formation.

This scene seemed to have been predicted by his teacher before the battle even began.

"Let's try something."

With a thought from Sun En, the Star Dou Formation changed.

The starry sky filled with starlight suddenly boiled, and hundreds of large stars trembled violently, under some inexplicable traction.

They burst forth with the extreme speed of the world, dragging the most brilliant starlight and crashing towards the humming, trembling Blood Sea Formation.

"Even if it is the Star Dou Formation, so what? No one can kill me!"

Amidst the滔滔blood waves, the blood lotus bloomed again. Blood Spring changed his skin, and his will shattered the void, stirring up an extremely terrifying storm of divine sense in the starry sky:

"Blood Sea Nether, only I am immortal!"

Boom!

A hundred thousand miles of Blood Sea boiled, and a million miles of starlight intensified.

A shocking collision erupted in the sea of stars in an instant. The rolling stars streaked across the sky, colliding with countless blood gods roaring out of the boiling Blood Sea.

The terrifying aftermath tore apart the star belt surrounding the Imperial Extremes, pierced through the atmosphere, and rolled down like a world-destroying tide, howling towards the Eastern Continent, and even the Nine Provinces and Four Seas.

In an instant, the earth shook and the sky trembled.

The vast Imperial Extremes Continent was completely awakened!

Many holy lands, ancestral lands of various races, and even large formations hidden in the mountains, swamps, and seas, were revived!

The reason why the Imperial Extremes Continent was called the Imperial Extremes by countless people was not because of its name, but because it had given birth to the most Imperial Venerables throughout history.

The sages of the human race, the dragon race, the phoenix, and the demon races had all attained the Dao here. The founders of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and other sects had all preached here.

No one knew how many strong individuals the Imperial Extremes Continent had given birth to, just as no one knew how many hidden dangerous places and opportunities there were.

At this time, startled by the aftermath of this terrifying formation collision, countless known and unknown holy lands and unknowable places.

All erupted with endless Dao patterns, stirring up rolling divine light. One after another, the Grand Formations of the Imperial Extremes were revived!

For a time, the Imperial Extremes was radiant!

Looking down from space, the Imperial Extremes Continent at this moment burst forth with even hotter and brighter divine light than the 'Sun,' the largest celestial body in the universe that had illuminated the universe for countless years.

The vast divine light filled a large area of the sea of stars, stirring up even more violent cosmic storms. Countless meteorites, stars, and celestial bodies were all drawn in.

The universe seemed to be in turmoil!

Terrifying!

Terrifying!

The Imperial Extremes was boiling!

"Heavens! The Golden Mace has been revived, and the formation left by the Ancestor has also been revived. Could it be that a Supreme is about to attain the Dao?!"

"Such a powerful aura, who is it? Yuan Yang Wang (King Yuan Yang)?"

"A great battle has erupted in the sea of stars, who is the enemy? How could they be so terrifying that even the Supreme Formation and the awakening of the Imperial Treasures have been triggered!"

......

In the endless deserts of the Nine Provinces and Four Seas, countless races and spirits were alarmed. Regardless of cultivation level or race, they all could not help but look up at the sky.

The weak were fearful and bewildered, while the strong were solemn and terrified.

For a time, regardless of race or strength, the vast majority of living beings lost their voices and thoughts in this earth-shattering change.

But after a brief silence, there was a boil that seemed to tear through the atmosphere.

One by one, the strong emerged from seclusion, presided over the formations, communicated with the treasures, and appeased their people, their hearts trembling, yet they could not help but look up at the sky.

Faced with such terrifying fluctuations, even the Marquis-level experts felt powerless in their hearts, feeling the helplessness and panic of mortals facing the collapse of the sky.

If there were such earth-shattering fluctuations tens or hundreds of millions of miles away, if they erupted on the Imperial Extremes Continent, wouldn't they be able to flatten an entire continent?!

"This is... the Star Dou Formation?"

In the hinterland of the Great Beginning Mountain, Qi Cang looked up at the sky, devouring spiritual energy in large gulps. Sensing the terrifying fluctuations erupting above the sky, his heart trembled.

Only then did he finally understand why the Yuan Yang Emperor had not taken action for so long.

He remembered very clearly that the reason why this evil giant was able to rampage through the sea of stars for thousands of years in his previous life was because, in addition to relying on the Blood Sea Formation, this person was also extremely skilled at preserving his life!

The Yuan Yang Emperor's sudden strike, using the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation to shatter the Nether Blood Sea from across the sea of stars, still took thousands of years to completely suppress and kill him.

This time, it was likely that the Yuan Yang Emperor had already prepared a sure kill, to eliminate this hidden danger in one fell swoop.

Hoo hoo~

Outside the Great Beginning Mountain, the glow of dawn lingered, and the bell waves had not yet dissipated.

Yuan Duxiu bathed in the spiritual energy, his parched body greedily devouring it, nourishing his almost cracked muscles and skin.

Cultivators cannot be self-sufficient, not even those at the Dongtian (Grotto Heaven) or Guiyi (Return to One) Realm.

Existing in the world, everything, both internal and external, comes from heaven and earth. What is self-sufficiency?

The Dongtian is attached to heaven and earth, absorbing nourishment from heaven and earth to nourish itself. Once it is isolated from its connection with heaven and earth, it will still collapse.

Just as before, under the Blood Sea Formation, a group of Marquises were beaten into a sorry state by one person.

Hoo~

Ying San landed on the peak of the Great Beginning Mountain, his aura calmed down, but there was still a trace of solemnity in his expression: "Is that the person you were waiting for?"

His realm was extremely high. Even at this moment, he could still sense that powerful aura in the sea of stars, as if it had not weakened at all.

It was as if he was unscathed.

The previous gust of divine wind was so powerful that even the aftermath swept away tens of millions of miles of Blood Sea and could extinguish stars. Yet, the demon was at the forefront, but seemed to have no injuries?

Such power was somewhat beyond his imagination.

If there were no Yuan Yang Wang (King Yuan Yang) today, the Great Beginning Mountain would have been destroyed in an instant, and everyone present would have died without a doubt.

"It is him, and it is not him."

An Qisheng sighed, but he also knew that it was not that simple.

The great enemy of the future, who could force Yuan Duxiu to his death, slaughter all the experts, and bring about the collapse of the universe, could no longer be compared to this Blood Spring.

Destroying living beings and destroying the universe, how could the two be of the same magnitude?

Just like on Xuanxing (Earth), any country has the ability to destroy all other living beings on Xuanxing, but wanting to destroy Xuanxing itself is an impossible task.

Not to mention anything else, even he himself could theoretically destroy all living beings in the universe if he had enough time.

But destroying the universe itself is something that cannot be done.

The destruction of planets and the shattering of galaxies have less impact on the universe than the evaporation of a drop of water in the ocean has on the ocean.

"Not him..."

Ying San was somewhat startled. If such an astonishing demon was not the enemy that the Yuan Yang Wang (King Yuan Yang) was waiting for, then who was the enemy?

A Peak Supreme?

"Things are not always as we wish, without further disturbances, this demon has nothing to do with that..."

An Qisheng sighed softly:

"Forget it!"

Then, under the watchful eyes of Ying San, and even countless others, he rose to his full height, carrying the Golden Bell, stepping into the sky, ascending the stairs, and instantly reached beyond the heavens:

"This demon has been clamoring for so long, it is also annoying, it is time to completely solve him..."

Boom!

The battle in the starry sky was fierce.

The Blood Sea boiled in the starlight, sometimes evolving into demon gods, sometimes transforming into thousands of blood gods, roaring and stirring up one wave after another of destructive frenzy.

The momentum was vast, and the Blood Sea was powerful, seemingly able to withstand the impact no matter how the stars collided.

But the more Blood Spring fought, the more frightened he became. He probed the starry sky countless times, colliding with almost every star.

But there were no flaws!

No matter how he probed or what kind of supernatural powers he used, he could not break through the blockade of this formation!

"Can't this old demon really be killed?!"

On a meteorite, Sun En had already stood up, his clothes moving without wind, as if he was also enduring great pressure.

He manipulated the Star Dou Formation with both arms, his ten fingers connected, while also enduring the collision of the two formations.

There was also shock in his heart.

He occupied the timing, and with the Star Dou Formation activated, he had also defeated the Blood Sea Formation several times, but the Blood Spring Old Demon seemed to have an immortal body.

He was crushed to pieces time and time again, but he still could not be killed!

"Where is there anything that cannot be killed? It's just that the method is wrong."

In the boiling divine light, An Qisheng stepped forward, and with a wave of his hand, the Great Beginning Golden Bell had already landed in Sun En's hand.

"...Teacher."

Receiving the Great Beginning Golden Bell, Sun En's body suddenly sank, almost falling into the sea of stars. He barely stabilized his body, and his bones made a groaning sound.

Even if the Great Beginning Golden Bell did not revive, its weight was enough to crush the galaxy. Although his physique was strong, he almost didn't hold it steady.

"The sound of the bell must not stop."

An Qisheng flicked his finger, hitting the Golden Bell, and as the magnificent sound of the bell reverberated, he directly sat cross-legged in the starry sky.

"This..."

Sun En's heart trembled from the sound of the bell, but he didn't dare to be negligent. Gritting his teeth, he began to take advantage of the bell's reverberation and sway.

He began to shake the divine bell!

Dang!

Dang!

Dang~~~

The starry sky had no medium, but the sound of the bell spread without being affected in any way, spreading wildly along the ubiquitous spiritual energy!

Boom!

As An Qisheng sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, this formation, formed by three hundred and sixty-five Dongtian and countless stars in the starry sky.

Suddenly erupted!

The vast and endless divine light suddenly flourished, hundreds of times stronger than when Sun En activated it!

In an instant, the sea of stars was ablaze.

On a life-bearing star far away, many experts who had been alarmed by the previous collision were spying, but they did not expect the divine light to suddenly intensify, causing their eyes to sting with pain, and tears to flow.

After enduring the pain and looking again.

They saw that in the boundless starry sky, the previous magnificence had completely dimmed, replaced by a cauldron as large as a galaxy!

The cauldron had nine apertures and eight holes, immeasurably large, with flames raging inside, like thousands of stars burning at the same time, and even more endless Dao Accumulation converging and falling.

Looking at it from across the sea of stars, they could not help but feel a chill in their hearts.

"Yuan Yang?!"

The moment the Star Dou Formation changed, Blood Spring keenly noticed that something was wrong, and the crisis in his heart suddenly rose to the highest level.

But before he could make any moves, a monstrous flame was burning in this starry sky.

At first glance, it seemed as if a fire had been lit from the outside to the inside, directly igniting the rolling stars within. In reality, it was the Star Dou Formation undergoing a transformation.

Thousands of large stars rolled and burst forth with light and heat, turning into a flame that made people fear and shudder at the sight of it.

Looking at it from across the sea of stars, the Blood Sea Formation he was in already showed a tendency to boil, which showed how terrifying this fire was.

"You claim that as long as the Blood Sea doesn't dry up, you won't die?"

The rolling flames roared like thousands of divine dragons, their momentum was enormous, but they still could not cover up the voice that seemed calm, but actually contained a turbulent sea:

"Then I will refine even this Blood Sea!"

A thousand years is very long.

It was even several times longer for An Qisheng, enough for him to do many things.

Refining treasures, cultivating, gathering Dao techniques and supernatural powers, deducing the future, and of course, resolving the threat of this old demon.

From Qi Cang's memories, he could see the strangeness of this old demon.

Not to mention the Blood Sea Formation, the Dao he cultivated was also extremely strange. It could even be said that in the many realms he had seen, he had never seen a technique with such strong life-saving methods.

Wanting to kill him was by no means easy.

It was by no means easy, but it was not impossible.

"If my Blood Sea, which I have nurtured for tens of thousands of years, does not collapse!"

The flames rolled in, covering the sky and earth, filling everything. Blood Spring gritted his teeth, his heart filled with great hatred.

The Blood Sea Nether Dao takes the Blood Sea as the main focus and oneself as the auxiliary. All the cultivation is in the Blood Sea.

Unfortunately, the Blood Sea that he had cultivated for tens of thousands of years and used to run rampant in the world was blown up by Qin Yu in the Dragon Erosion Realm.

Otherwise...

His heart was unwilling, but he could only let out a long howl, leading the滔滔Blood Sea to flow back, submerging into the blood lotus.

Then, the entire Blood Sea Formation also suddenly shrank to the limit, until it turned into a faint light surrounding his body, protecting himself.

Finally, he sat cross-legged on the blood lotus, coldly looking at the rolling flames, cutting off all emotions and becoming completely calm:

"Then let's see how you refine my Blood Sea!"

Then, the overwhelming flames surged and completely submerged everything.

"You rely on nothing more than your 'Blood God Sons' scattered throughout the sea of stars, that's all. Unfortunately, there is no unbreakable technique in the world, and even if there is, it won't be your Blood Sea Nether Dao!"

On the meteorite, An Qisheng slowly opened his eyes, and in his eyes, he had already seen countless rays of blood being attracted by the vast sound of the bell!

"You dare to move my Blood God Sons!"

Under the scorching heat of the rolling flames, Blood Spring, who had not changed color even in the face of the indescribable pain, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard these words, his expression changing drastically:

"If I don't die today, I will chase you to the ends of the earth, and we will never rest until one of us is dead!"

Boom!

Blood Spring's mental state was instantly broken, not by being shaken by words, but because he suddenly sensed the aura of his Blood God Sons scattered in the sea of stars!

His Blood God Sons were being attracted at an unimaginable speed, directly merging into the sea of ​​stars and fire like endless meteors!

"How is this possible?!"

A chill rose in Blood Spring's heart, and a long-lost fear finally emerged.

He had no true body, and all Blood God Sons were his true body. Because of this, all curse-killing techniques could not trace the source, and even Qin Yu could not kill him.

But at this moment, this white-haired Taoist actually had a method to attract his Blood God Sons?

He was shocked, angry, roared, threatened, rioted, struggled...

But on the meteorite, An Qisheng no longer cared, but instead became a little curious:

"I wonder, what kind of thing will I refine in this first external refining of pills..."
