"By the way, Brother, now that your Cultivation has reached Grand Unity Golden Immortal, you should have obtained the Lord of the Sea of Blood position, right?" Taichu suddenly remembered an important matter and quickly asked.
In his plan, the Lord of the Sea of Blood position was crucial, concerning many subsequent arrangements.
Minghe nodded and said, "I have already been recognized by the Sea of Blood's will and obtained the Heavenly Dao position of Lord of the Sea of Blood. Moreover, the Blood God Doppelganger Skill you previously suggested, I have successfully comprehended it."
"I didn't expect Brother to truly comprehend the Blood God Doppelganger Skill!!" Taichu was full of surprise, his eyes filled with delight.
Initially, he had only casually mentioned the Blood God Doppelganger Skill to Minghe, but he didn't expect Minghe to take it so seriously and actually comprehend it.
"Yes, after you told me about it last time, I pondered it carefully and felt that this Blood God Doppelganger Skill was extremely compatible with me. After that, I devoted myself to research, and only during the process of Breaking Through to Grand Unity Golden Immortal did I get an initial glimpse. These years, I have been consolidating my Cultivation while perfecting this Divine Ability," Minghe explained with a smile.
"Brother, you must Cultivate this Blood God Doppelganger Skill well. My subsequent plans will not be complete without its assistance," Taichu said hurriedly.
In his vision, the Blood God Doppelganger Skill would play a crucial role in many future actions and was an important guarantee for the realization of his plans.
"I understand. This is the Blood God Doppelganger Skill I comprehended. Although you cannot Cultivate it, you can draw some inspiration from it," Minghe said, gently tapping Taichu's head with his right hand.
Instantly, a stream of information surged into Taichu's Sea of Consciousness, which was the complete Blood God Doppelganger Skill.
Taichu felt a warm current surge in his heart as he sensed the Blood God Doppelganger Skill appearing in his Sea of Consciousness. He looked at Minghe and said gratefully, "Brother, you… Thank you, Brother."
"Alright, there's no need to be so polite with me. However, our top priority now is to deal with the problems left behind by that Vicious Beast," Minghe waved his hand, his expression becoming serious.
Hearing Minghe's words, Taichu fell into contemplation. After a moment, he asked doubtfully, "Could it be that the mysterious Daoist who visited the Sea of Blood before the Vicious Beast Calamity was from the Vicious Beast race? What did he leave behind in our Sea of Blood?"
"That's right, that person was very likely a Vicious Beast King of the Vicious Beast race. He left a spatial rift in the Sea of Blood.
I only discovered that spatial rift after I obtained the Lord of the Sea of Blood position and gained absolute control over the Sea of Blood," Minghe frowned, describing it in detail to Taichu.
"So that Daoist was actually a King of the Vicious Beast race. No wonder we couldn't see through his strength at that time."
"Let's go together and take a look," Minghe said, a layer of blood-red light emanating from his body, enveloping Taichu.
Instantly, their figures disappeared from the Dao field.
"Is this the spatial rift left by the Vicious Beast? But why do I not sense any spatial anomaly at all?" Taichu looked at the seemingly ordinary area of the Sea of Blood, full of doubts.
This part of the Sea of Blood was no different from the surrounding areas. The seawater churned, thick and inky blood-red, with a pungent, fishy smell. Taichu truly couldn't discern any difference between this place and others.
"This is indeed the place. However, it's normal for you not to detect it. If I hadn't obtained the Lord of the Sea of Blood position, even if my Cultivation had reached Grand Unity Golden Immortal now, it would be difficult to discover the anomaly here," Minghe, understanding Taichu's confusion, explained softly.
With that, Minghe raised his hand and pointed casually into the Sea of Blood. In an instant, a spatial rift appeared out of thin air on the previously calm surface of the sea.
From within the rift, a dense, almost corporeal, vicious Qi surged out, like an invisible, monstrous beast, eager to devour everything in the world.
Even before stepping inside, Taichu's heart trembled, shaken by the overwhelming vicious Qi.
"Such dense vicious Qi, I didn't sense it at all just now!!!" Taichu looked at the spatial rift in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Before, he had sensed his surroundings without any anomaly, but the sight before him now truly overturned his perception.
"This place is probably imbued with the methods of Divine Reverse, the Vicious Beast Emperor, which allowed it to escape our perception," Minghe speculated slowly, his expression solemn, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
Back then, before Divine Reverse's demise, he was widely recognized as the strongest in the Primordial World, his prestige immense and unmatched.
At that time, even Hongjun and other strong individuals were slightly inferior in front of Divine Reverse.
During the Vicious Beast Calamity, Divine Reverse, by himself, fought against the combined attacks of Hongjun, Luohu, and Yang Mei, yet he showed no signs of falling behind.
It was only when Ancestral Dragon and others killed four Vicious Beast Kings, and nearly ten Grand Unity Golden Immortals acted together, that Divine Reverse was forced to his demise.
Such a brilliant and peerless existence could easily conceal things from Minghe and Taichu.
"However, there is also a Seal on this spatial rift. This Seal was likely set by the Vicious Beast race. I observe that it is exceptionally strong, and breaking it will certainly not be easy," Taichu stared at the Seal, deep in thought, his brows furrowed.
Runes flickered on the Seal, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura.
"It's fine, though this Seal is strong, for me, breaking it is not difficult. It's just that the situation after breaking the Seal is what we need to consider carefully. There must be hidden tricks left by the Vicious Beast race within this spatial rift," Minghe looked at the Seal, a hesitant expression on his face.
He knew the terror of the Vicious Beast race deeply. Although they had been annihilated for many years, their might when they dominated the Primordial World, resisting all other races with their sole power, still made him feel lingering fear.
If it weren't for the Vicious Beast race's reckless actions, and the Heavenly Dao about to be born, with the Great Dao intentionally making way for the Heavenly Dao, the Vicious Beast race would not have faced such a swift demise.
Even so, Minghe still dared not underestimate any tricks left by the Vicious Beast race.
"Brother, let's break the Seal first. If this hidden danger remains, it will always be a major concern. As for worrying about dangers within the spatial rift, we can use a Blood God to enter and investigate. This way, even if something unexpected happens, it won't endanger our main body," Taichu thought for a moment and suggested.
"That is indeed feasible. It's just that I only recently taught you the Blood God Doppelganger Skill. In such a short time, can you already condense your own Blood God?" Minghe looked at Taichu, his eyes full of curiosity. The Blood God Doppelganger Skill was extremely complex, and mastering and using it in a short time was far from easy.
"Brother, don't underestimate me. How about my Blood God?" Taichu smiled confidently. With a wave of his hand, the surrounding Spiritual Qi combined with the Karma Golden Wheel in Taichu's Sea of Consciousness and quickly gathered, forming a faint yellow phantom.
As the phantom gradually solidified, the faint yellow color slowly faded, eventually transforming into a Clone identical to Taichu.
This Clone not only resembled Taichu in appearance but also had lively eyes, and every gesture exuded Taichu's charm. An uninformed person would likely find it difficult to distinguish between the real and fake.
"Brother, how is it? This is what I condensed using the power of Karma, based on the Blood God Doppelganger Skill you taught me," Taichu said with pride, looking at Minghe.
"You were able to successfully Cultivate the Blood God Doppelganger Skill in such a short time and even make improvements!" Minghe looked at the Karma Clone condensed by Taichu, his eyes full of surprise.
The Blood God Clone is closely connected to the main body's Soul and power, and can be considered a part of the main body, sharing some of the main body's abilities and memories.
As long as the Clone exists, even if the main body perishes, it can be Reborn through the Clone.
Minghe's Blood God was condensed with the power of the Sea of Blood, while Taichu, not having been recognized by the Sea of Blood's will, found another way to condense it with the power of Karma, which shows his exceptional talent.
"This is excellent. With this Clone, we can enter together," Minghe looked at Taichu's Karma Clone and nodded with satisfaction.
"Break!!!" Following a low roar from Ming He, a surging power burst forth, charging towards the Seal on the spatial rift.
A creaking sound, like an old wooden door groaning under immense pressure, emanated from the Seal.
"Crack!" With a crisp sound, the Seal shattered.
In an instant, a colossal pillar, formed from condensed Vicious Beast Qi, shot skyward, piercing through the clouds as if to punch a hole in the firmament.
"You can go in now." Ming He looked at Tai Chu and nodded slightly.
Then, a Blood God Clone appeared beside him, and together with Tai Chu's Karma Clone, they stepped into the spatial rift.
As soon as Tai Chu and Ming He entered the spatial rift, they both frowned.
Inside this spatial rift, it was pitch black, as thick as ink that couldn't be dissolved.
Even with their current cultivation, their perception was greatly suppressed, as if they had fallen into a quagmire, making it difficult to exert themselves.
Moreover, this darkness was filled with chaotic Qi, like invisible demonic hands, constantly eroding and affecting the minds of living beings.
Seeing this, Tai Chu and Ming He quickly circulated their spiritual power, forming a solid barrier around themselves, isolating themselves from the external environment.
As their spiritual power circulated, the chaotic Qi finally could no longer interfere with them.
"This environment greatly affects us. The ones who entered are just Clones, after all, not as good as the main body, and there's no way to replenish spiritual power here. We must quickly find the reason why the Vicious Beast left this space here." Ming He sensed the depletion of spiritual power within his body, his brows tightly furrowed, his heart filled with anxiety.
In this place, where spiritual power was scarce and the environment was harsh, every moment of delay increased the danger.
"Brother, time and space here are chaotic and disordered. It will not be easy to search here." Tai Chu carefully sensed his surroundings, discovering that within this space, time and space were in disarray, as if wantonly stirred by an invisible hand.
Moreover, within the chaotic Qi, Vicious Beast Qi, blood Qi, destruction Qi, death Qi, and other negative Qis were intertwined and mixed, forming an extremely dangerous power.
"That's fine. I can still sense the will of the Sea of Blood here. With this connection, I can still move freely within this space without being affected. Just follow me." Ming He closed his eyes and concentrated, then, after a moment, opened his eyes and waved to Tai Chu.
With that, he took the lead and flew towards the depths of the space, with Tai Chu following closely behind, their figures quickly disappearing into the darkness.
…
And at the moment Ming He and Tai Chu broke the Seal and stepped into the spatial rift, deep within the spatial rift, a translucent figure slowly opened his eyes.
In those eyes, cold light flickered and killing intent surged: "Interesting, some living beings actually found this place. Since you've entered, don't even think about leaving. It's not yet time for my race to reappear." The phantom snorted coldly, raised his hand, and gently waved it towards the Void Realm.
In an instant, the entire space seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, undergoing earth-shshattering changes.
The previously open spatial rift exit, with that single wave, vanished without a trace, as if a brushstroke had been erased.
Immediately after, the phantom turned his body, concealing the object he was guarding behind him, his movements seamless.
Having done all this, the phantom closed his eyes again, floating cross-legged in the Void Realm, an icy aura emanating from his body, like a sleeping iceberg, yet secretly surging with power.
"Let's see which two clueless fellows dare to intrude here." The phantom murmured in a low voice, his voice echoing in the empty space, filled with endless coldness.
Then, he fell into a deathly silence, quietly waiting for the arrival of Ming He and Tai Chu.
Outside the spatial rift—
The main bodies of Ming He and Tai Chu, looking at the spatial rift passage that had suddenly disappeared, instantly furrowed their brows into a 'river' shape.
The once clearly visible passage now seemed as if it had never existed, the surrounding Sea of Blood still surging, but the spatial rift was nowhere to be seen.
"Brother, why did this spatial rift suddenly close?" Tai Chu turned to look at Ming He beside him, his eyes filled with confusion and worry.
They had thought that by successfully breaking the Seal, they could finally investigate, but they had not expected such a change behind it.
"It seems we still underestimated the methods of the Vicious Beast race. To open this spatial rift again, with my current ability, it would take at least a hundred years. During this time, they can only rely on themselves." Ming He's expression was solemn, and he shook his head helplessly.
He knew that the sudden closing of the spatial rift was no accident; someone must be manipulating it in the dark, and they were powerless at this moment.
Inside the spatial rift—
"Damn it, could it be that there are still Vicious Beasts left in this space?" Ming He, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped and cursed in a low voice.
His face was as dark as water, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.
"Brother, what happened?" Tai Chu, unable to keenly perceive the subtle changes in space in this chaotic environment, heard Ming He's curse and immediately turned to look at him.
"The exit we just came through has disappeared. I'm afraid someone is playing tricks behind the scenes." Ming He gritted his teeth and said each word slowly.
His heart was filled with vexation, not expecting that his first action after his Breakthrough to Grand Unity Golden Immortal would encounter such a tricky situation.
"The connection with the main body has also disappeared. It seems that this space really has a big problem. Fortunately, only a Clone came in this time, otherwise the loss would have been heavy." Tai Chu tried to establish contact with his main body, but found that the once tightly connected sensation was now completely cut off.
"Let's go. Since we can't get out, there's no need to worry needlessly. I can sense that we are not far from the center of the space. Once we get there, we'll naturally know who is manipulating all of this." Ming He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the irritation in his heart, and continued to walk forward.
Tai Chu nodded silently and followed closely behind.
After an unknown amount of time wandering through this complex space, Ming He and Tai Chu finally reached the center of the space.
"You've arrived." As the two arrived, the hidden figure in the Void Realm slowly opened his eyes.
His gaze coldly swept over Ming He and Tai Chu, his eyes filled with condescending disdain, as if the two in front of him were merely insignificant ants.
"You!" Ming He felt a surge of anger in his heart when he saw the phantom's arrogant gaze. He was about to speak but was stopped by a look from Tai Chu.
"May I ask Your Excellency, which king of the Vicious Beast race are you?" Tai Chu took a step forward, looking calmly at the phantom, and politely inquired.
He knew that in this unknown perilous situation, impulsiveness would only make the situation worse.
"Oh? I didn't expect it to be you, a Taiyi Golden Immortal, making the decisions." The phantom raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"As for my identity, it's fine to tell you. My Dao name is Divine Reverse." The phantom's tone was calm, as if he was stating something commonplace.
"What!!!"
Ming He and Tai Chu exclaimed simultaneously, their eyes filled with shock.
They had previously guessed that the one hidden in this space might be one of the four Vicious Beast Kings of the Vicious Beast Race, but they never expected that the person before them was actually Beast Emperor Divine Reverse.
"Looking at your expressions, you must know my identity. It seems you were born before my Vicious Beast Race was annihilated." Divine Reverse looked at the surprised duo, his gaze like a torch, seemingly able to see through their thoughts.
"Beast Emperor Divine Reverse, our two brothers naturally know." Tai Chu and Ming He forcefully suppressed the shock in their hearts, trying to calm themselves down.
"No, as the Beast Emperor, Divine Reverse could not have survived the Vicious Beast Tribulation, and this phantom's strength is at most that of an Early Stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal, so it cannot be Divine Reverse's true body."
The two carefully examined Divine Reverse, discovering that he was currently just a wisp of a remnant soul.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that the phantom was merely a remnant soul.
"What, do you two perhaps think that since I am just a wisp of a remnant soul, you can escape from my grasp?" Divine Reverse keenly noticed the change in their eyes, and a mocking sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Whether we can escape or not, we'll only know after a fight." Ming He could no longer tolerate the contempt in Divine Reverse's tone, and the rage in his heart instantly erupted.
Killing intent surged around him, and he condensed a sharp Blood Sword with the Great Dao of Slaughter, sending it rapidly towards Divine Reverse. Wherever the sword shadow passed, the space seemed to be torn open with black cracks.
"Brother, sigh." Tai Chu sighed helplessly, retracting the hand he had extended to stop Ming He.
He knew Ming He's character well; once enraged, he was difficult to restrain.
"Good, you have guts!" Divine Reverse saw Ming He actively attacking, and the mockery in his eyes instantly vanished, replaced by a hint of appreciation.
He transformed his body, instantly reverting to his Vicious Beast true form, radiating a terrifying Aura.
He clenched his right hand in the Void Realm, and the violent Qi in the space seemed to be summoned, frantically converging into his palm. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a majestic long spear.
Runes flickered on the long spear, emitting a chilling Aura.
"Come fight!!!" Divine Reverse held the long spear, pointing it directly at Ming He, his voice resounding like a great bell throughout the entire space.
Divine Reverse, wielding his long spear, fought Ming He to a standstill.
The long spear danced, bringing forth streaks of black afterimages. Each thrust was accompanied by an endless chaotic Qi, as if it intended to shatter this space into dust.
Ming He was not to be outdone; the Blood Sword in his hand shone dazzlingly, drawing brilliant arcs in the darkness. He unleashed the exquisite sword techniques of the Great Dao of Slaughter, each strike sharp, clashing head-on with Divine Reverse's attacks. For a moment, the space vibrated, and roars echoed incessantly.
"As expected of Divine Reverse, even as just a wisp of a remnant soul, he is still so troublesome." Ming He felt the powerful force emanating from the long spear, marveling inwardly.
But the Battle Intent in his eyes grew even stronger, and the Blood Sword in his hand glowed brightly.
Tai Chu saw Ming He gradually falling into a disadvantage and thought to himself that he could not delay any longer.
With a thought, in an instant, spiritual power surged around him, and countless Medicinal Pills appeared beside him.
These Medicinal Pills seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, gracefully floating in the Void Realm as Tai Chu skillfully waved his hands. Each one emitted a warm luster, and a rich medicinal fragrance permeated the air.
"This grand formation was meticulously created by me, fusing the Dao of Pills with the Dao of Formations, Fellow Daoist Divine Reverse, please appraise it." Tai Chu's expression was solemn, his voice steady, carrying a hint of undeniable confidence.
"Pill Formation, Condense!" Following Tai Chu's deep shout, his voice resonated like a great bell, seemingly containing the power of the Laws of Heaven and Earth.
In an instant, the surrounding rich medicinal fragrance and mysterious runes seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, rapidly intertwining and fusing.
In the blink of an eye, a gigantic Pill Formation slowly took shape above Divine Reverse's head.
This Pill Formation was magnificent, with flickering runes and dazzling light, emitting a powerful and heart-pounding oppressive force, as if it wanted to crush everything below into dust.
Divine Reverse sensed the fatal threat coming from the Pill Formation above his head, and his face instantly turned ashen, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
He stomped his foot fiercely, and the ground beneath him instantly cracked. His Aura surged like a volcanic eruption, and black vicious Qi poured out of his body like a raging tide, forming waves of black Qi that roared towards the Pill Formation, attempting to break through its confinement with this immense power.
However, the Pill Formation created by Tai Chu was unimaginably stable.
Divine Reverse's fierce impact only caused the Pill Formation's light to flicker violently a few times, then it was like a mud ox entering the sea, unable to cause any substantial damage to the Pill Formation.
The Pill Formation remained steadily suspended in mid-air, and as the runes flowed, the oppressive force it emitted grew even stronger.
"Hmph, mere parlor tricks!" Divine Reverse snorted coldly, and with a fierce swing of his long spear, a black long spear phantom instantly flew out, stabbing towards the Pill Formation.
Wherever the black long spear phantom passed, a long crack was carved into the space, its power astonishing.
Upon seeing this, Tai Chu quickly changed his hand seals, and the Pill Formation glowed brightly. A brilliant light screen instantly appeared, blocking the attack of the black long spear phantom.
Countless Medicinal Pills transformed into a light screen and collided with the black long spear phantom, producing an earth-shattering roar.
Powerful energy fluctuations spread out, causing the entire space to tremble violently, as if it could collapse at any moment.
Tai Chu and Ming He also felt the impact of these energy fluctuations, their bodies swaying slightly. But they quickly stabilized themselves and continued to confront Divine Reverse.
At this moment, Divine Reverse couldn't help but look at Tai Chu and Ming He with new respect.
He had originally thought that with his remnant soul, dealing with Ming He and Tai Chu would be more than enough.
But he hadn't expected Tai Chu's Dao of Pills to be so bizarre, and Ming He's Dao of Slaughter to be so sharp. When the two combined, they actually made it difficult for him to cope.
"You two fellows, to be able to push me this far, you do have some ability. However, today you still cannot escape death!" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Divine Reverse's eyes, and his Aura surged again.
He held his long spear horizontally and muttered incantations. The surrounding chaotic Qi rapidly gathered around him, forming a massive black vortex.
Within the vortex, countless ferocious beast shadows faintly emerged, emitting roars.
Tai Chu and Ming He exchanged glances, both seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.
They knew that Divine Reverse was about to unleash his killing move.
Tai Chu took a deep breath, rapidly forming hand seals. The Pill Formation glowed brightly again, and countless runes flew out from it, surrounding him and Ming He, forming a solid defensive barrier. Ming He, on the other hand, gripped his Blood Sword tightly, operating the power of the Great Dao of Slaughter to its extreme, preparing to meet Divine Reverse's fatal blow.
Divine Reverse roared and thrust his long spear fiercely. The black vortex, carrying countless beast shadows, charged towards Tai Chu and Ming He.
Wherever it passed, the space was completely torn apart, revealing a pitch-black Void Realm.
Tai Chu and Ming He both felt the immense power, and their hearts trembled.
But they did not retreat. Instead, they fully unleashed their own power, and countless Medicinal Pills transformed into layers of phantom barriers standing in front of them.
The black beast shadows instantly crashed into the barrier, producing a deafening roar.
The defensive barrier flickered with light and trembled violently, and layer after layer of barriers instantly shattered under the impact of the beast shadows.
Tai Chu gritted his teeth, fully maintaining the operation of the defensive barrier.
His body trembled slightly under the impact of this powerful force.
"Brother, leave this to me." Taichu quickly stopped Ming He, who was about to help him.
"Alright." Ming He hesitated for a moment before nodding. He understood that he was not proficient in the Dao of defense, so he would not be of much help to Taichu. Instead, attacking Divine Reverse while he was entangled with Taichu would be more beneficial.
Divine Reverse was fully attacking Taichu and Ming He, not expecting Ming He to suddenly counterattack.
He wanted to dodge, but at this moment, all his power was concentrated on attacking, making his body unable to move for a while.
Helplessly, he could only use his long spear to block.
The Blood Sword struck the long spear, instantly exploding and releasing a powerful energy.
Divine Reverse's arm went numb from the shock of this energy, and his long spear nearly slipped from his grasp.
Taking advantage of Divine Reverse's momentary weakness, Ming He's figure flickered, instantly appearing before Divine Reverse.
The Blood Sword in his hand glowed intensely, condensing the entire body of this Clone onto the Blood Sword.
A brilliant bloody Sword Qi flashed, slashing towards Divine Reverse.
Divine Reverse was greatly alarmed and quickly used his long spear to block.
However, Ming He's strike had directly sacrificed this Clone, and its power was too immense. Although Divine Reverse blocked the strike, half of his body was severed by the Sword Qi, and blood flowed freely.
"Taichu, the rest is up to you." After Ming He's Blood God finished speaking, his body shattered and dispersed.
At this moment, Taichu was also lying in the Void Realm, unable to move.
Divine Reverse was both surprised and enraged. He didn't expect to be severely wounded by these two juniors.
He endured the pain in his arm, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.
However, in the next moment, the madness in his eyes quickly subsided. Instead, he withdrew his long spear and calmly looked at the immobile Taichu.
When he and Taichu fought, he realized that both were Clones, and at this moment, his remnant soul had already reached its limit.
Even if he left the Clones of the two, he would not have the strength to go out and capture their main bodies.
"I didn't expect that I would ultimately lose to an Early Stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal and a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Does this world really not tolerate my Vicious Beast race?" Divine Reverse's eyes were dim.
"Fellow Daoist, how about we talk?" Divine Reverse looked at Taichu.
"Fellow Daoist Divine Reverse, you have forced us two brothers to this point, even causing my brother to fall. Now you say you want to talk to me. Don't you think that's a bit much?" Taichu sneered at Divine Reverse.
Divine Reverse heard Taichu's mockery, but now the last hope of their Vicious Beast race rested here, so even if he was angry, he could only suppress it.
"I know that the Two Fellow Daoists are currently just two Clones. I will compensate the Two Fellow Daoists for their losses."
"Why is this Divine Reverse suddenly acting crazy?" Taichu looked at Divine Reverse in confusion.
"Speak. What is your purpose for such a drastic change in attitude?" Taichu calmly looked at Divine Reverse. Since he couldn't figure it out, Taichu decided to be direct.
"The Two Fellow Daoists have come here, I presume, for the things my race left behind before its destruction. I can give you that item, and I can also give you an Innate Supreme Treasure."
"Then what are your conditions?" Taichu didn't believe that Divine Reverse, who had just been fighting him to the death, would suddenly change.
"At this point, I won't hide it from you, Fellow Daoist. The object protected here concerns the Bloodline continuation of my Vicious Beast race. I hope that after you obtain it, you will not destroy it. Leave a final glimmer of hope for my Vicious Beast race."
"Oh, then why should I take such a risk for your Vicious Beast race? Although an Innate Supreme Treasure is precious, your Vicious Beast race was the protagonist of the previous great tribulation and is disliked by Heaven and Earth. If I choose to protect your Vicious Beast race, this Karma might not be borne by one Innate Supreme Treasure."
"Moreover, Fellow Daoist Divine Reverse, your remnant soul will probably dissipate soon. As long as your Innate Supreme Treasure is in this spatial rift, I will definitely find it. By then, this Innate Supreme Treasure will still be mine, and I won't have to worry about bearing the Karma of your Vicious Beast race." Taichu looked at Divine Reverse and said with a smile.
Seeing that Taichu was so unyielding, Divine Reverse sighed, "Fellow Daoist Taichu, the Bloodline Legacy I left here was able to escape the reckoning of the Great Desolation because I cleared all the Vicious Beast Qi from it. The beings nurtured now only have my Vicious Beast Bloodline but are not my Vicious Beast race. Fellow Daoist protecting them will not create Karma with my Vicious Beast race."
"Moreover, I hope Fellow Daoist can allow my race's Bloodline to survive in the Sea of Blood. You don't need to provide excessive protection."
"As for the Innate Supreme Treasure, if Fellow Daoist doesn't agree, I can only self-destruct and destroy this spatial rift. At that time, the Innate Supreme Treasure will be swept into the spatial turbulence with the self-destruction."
Even at this point, Taichu still shook his head.
"Fellow Daoist, please don't say anymore."
Divine Reverse looked at Taichu, pondered for a moment, and sighed inwardly, "Forget it, as long as my race's Bloodline can be passed down, that's enough."
"Fellow Daoist, I can tell you the location of my race's treasure vault left in the Great Desolation. It contains all the treasures of my Vicious Beast race. Moreover, I can let the Bloodline race acknowledge you as their master. If this is still not acceptable, then we can only go down fighting." Divine Reverse's eyes were filled with ruthlessness as he finished speaking.
Taichu knew this was Divine Reverse's last bottom line, so he didn't continue to make things difficult for him. "In that case, I accept Fellow Daoist's request."
"Good, then my race is entrusted to Fellow Daoist."
After saying that, Divine Reverse waved his hand again, and an egg and a millstone appeared in the Void Realm.
"This egg contains the Bloodline Legacy of my Vicious Beast race, and this millstone is the Innate Supreme Treasure World-destroying Millstone. Now, these two items are entrusted to Fellow Daoist."
Then, Divine Reverse pointed with his right hand, and a piece of information entered Taichu's mind: the location of the Vicious Beast race's treasure vault left in the Great Desolation.
Taichu sensed that there was truly no trace of the Vicious Beast race's Qi within the egg, and he knew that what Divine Reverse had said earlier was true.
"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, since I have made a promise, I will not break it." Taichu solemnly promised.
"In that case, my race relies on Fellow Daoist." After Divine Reverse finished speaking, his body began to dissipate.
After Divine Reverse's remnant soul dissipated, Taichu collected the egg and the World-destroying Millstone.
"This spatial rift will probably collapse without the presence of Divine Reverse's remnant soul." Taichu was a bit troubled after sensing the anomaly in the spatial rift.
He had no way to find an exit in this spatial rift.
And just as Taichu was troubled, a passage appeared beside him.
"I didn't expect Divine Reverse to have even considered this for me." Taichu looked at the passage with a delighted expression.
Then, Taichu bowed towards the direction where Divine Reverse's remnant soul had dissipated, and then entered the passage.
After Taichu's figure disappeared, Divine Reverse's remnant soul reappeared in the spatial rift. He looked at the direction where Taichu had disappeared.
"I hope my choice this time is correct. I sensed a Qi similar to Pangu's on this Fellow Daoist. If he truly keeps his promise, my race might still have a day to regain its glory."
After Divine Reverse's remnant soul finished speaking, it dissipated again. This time, as he dissipated, the entire spatial rift also began to collapse. In a short while, this spatial rift was swept into the spatial turbulence, leaving no trace.
As soon as Taichu's Clone stepped into the passage, he quickly returned to his main body.
Taichu slowly closed his eyes, concentrating on absorbing the memories brought back by his Clone.
In an instant, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.
"How is it? What exactly happened in that space?" Minghe looked eagerly at Taichu. His Blood God Clone, which he had sent into it, had perished and dissipated in the spatial rift.
Because of this, Minghe knew nothing about the changes within the space, and his heart was filled with curiosity and anxiety.
"Brother…" Taichu composed himself, then recounted everything he had experienced in the spatial rift to Minghe, in great detail.
"You agreed to Divine Reverse's request, will there truly be no problem?" Minghe's brows remained tightly furrowed after hearing Taichu's narration, his face full of worry.
"Brother, relax. Since I have already agreed to Divine Reverse, I naturally have a countermeasure in mind," Taichu said, seeing Minghe's concern, a gentle smile appearing on his face as he patiently explained.
"Now that this hidden danger has been resolved, let's return to our Daoist temple," Minghe suggested, seeing Taichu's certainty, no longer asking further questions.
The two immediately activated their Divine Ability, transforming into two streaks of light, and swiftly flew towards the Daoist temple.
Upon arriving at the Daoist temple, Taichu did not step directly inside.
He carefully took out the egg containing the Vicious Beast Bloodline and gently placed it on the netherworld bodhi within the grand formation.
Immediately after, Taichu circulated his spiritual power and slowly drew out the Karma Golden Wheel from his body.
For a moment, countless brilliant Karma power emanated from it, like golden ribbons, gently floating in the air, exuding an auspicious aura.
Taichu focused his mind, drew a portion of Karma power from the Karma Golden Wheel, and gently infused it into the egg.
Then, his gaze lingered on the grand formation of the Daoist temple for a moment, lost in thought.
Immediately after, his hands moved like nimble butterflies, swiftly weaving through the grand formation, constantly changing hand seals.
As Taichu moved, countless vicious Qi from the Sea of Blood seemed to be summoned by an invisible force, surging forth and continuously pouring into the egg.
At the same time, the netherworld power from the netherworld bodhi also merged into it along with the Karma power infused by Taichu.
The three distinct powers caused the egg to display three strange colors, intertwining and colliding in the light.
As time slowly passed, these three colors began to gradually Fusion, like a brilliant painting being drawn, slowly blending together.
"It should be almost done. This way, there shouldn't be any mishaps. It's just that, after my intervention, I wonder if what is born from it in the future can still be considered a Vicious Beast," Taichu murmured, looking at the renewed egg emitting a unique light.
Although he had promised Divine Reverse that the Bloodline of the Vicious Beast Race would not be severed, he had not promised not to interfere with its gestation and growth process.
After making the arrangements, Taichu and Minghe entered the Daoist temple together.
"Taichu, your Cultivation still needs to be promoted to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm as soon as possible," Minghe said with concern, reminding him solemnly.
"Brother, I understand. It's just that I only recently Breakthrough to the Perfection Realm, and to go a step further and enter Grand Unity Golden Immortal, I'm afraid it will still require time for precipitation and dedicated Cultivation," Taichu knew that he still had a long way to go before reaching Grand Unity Golden Immortal, so he shook his head with a bitter smile after hearing Minghe's words.
"It's alright, I have successfully Breakthrough now. In the days to come, I will preach and resolve your doubts, helping you achieve Grand Unity early," Minghe patted Taichu's shoulder.
"In that case, thank you very much, Brother," Taichu said, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes as he looked at Minghe sincerely.
"We are brothers, no need to be so polite," Minghe nodded slightly, a gratified smile on his face.
As Minghe and Taichu entered seclusion for Cultivation, the entire Sea of Blood once again fell into a profound silence, like a corner forgotten by time.
However, in stark contrast to the tranquility of the Sea of Blood, the situation on the Primordial Land was undergoing earth-shattering changes.
The contradictions between the three races became increasingly sharp and intense.
Even though all three races had sensed that the Demon Race was secretly sowing discord behind the scenes, they still found it difficult to curb the further escalation of conflicts.
Or rather, many members of the three races intentionally sought to provoke conflict.
Because in these years, they were startled to realize that their race's Luck had not increased for many years.
If they had never experienced the taste of rapidly improving their Cultivation by relying on the power of Luck, it would have been fine.
But now, the three races had long been accustomed to this rapid Cultivation method and could no longer be satisfied with slow, step-by-step Cultivation.
They yearned for more Luck, but the Luck of the Primordial Land had almost been completely divided among the three races.
Under such circumstances, if they still wanted to increase their Luck, they could only snatch it from the other two races.
Therefore, even without the Demon Race causing trouble, it would be difficult for the three races to maintain peace.
Some people among the three races even used the Demon Race as a pretense to brazenly provoke the other two races.
Their purpose was to ignite a war between the three races, so they could seize the opportunity to gain Luck amidst the Chaos.
As for why the three races were not worried about their own race failing in the struggle, the reason was actually very simple.
For a long time, the three races had dominated the Primordial Land, standing high above, exuding an unparalleled arrogance from their bones, never imagining that their own race would fail.
They were all full of confidence, believing that in this struggle, the ultimate victor would surely be themselves.
Even if they knew that the Demon Race was lurking in the dark, they only regarded the Demon Race as insignificant clowns.
Especially after Luohu restrained his actions, the three races had not discovered any traces of the Demon Race for many years, which made many members of the three races increasingly despise the Demon Race, not taking them seriously at all.
"Has the Dao of Luck really gone wrong? No, it's impossible, the Dao of Luck is absolutely flawless, and it cannot afford to fail. As long as I defeat Yuanfeng and Ancestral Qilin, I can continue the Dao of Luck," Zu Long sat in the Zu Long Palace, his brows furrowed, feeling the subtle changes in the power of Luck within his body, muttering to himself.
Now, with the blessing of the power of Luck, Zu Long's Cultivation had reached the Late Stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, only one step away from the Perfection Realm.
Although Yuanfeng and Ancestral Qilin's Cultivation were slightly inferior to Zu Long's, they had also entered the Late Stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
However, when they Breakthrough to this Realm, before they even had time to celebrate, they keenly sensed the hidden danger in the Dao of Luck.
But unfortunately, by the time they discovered it, it was already too late.
The three races and the Dao of Luck, after so many years of development, had long been closely linked and inseparable.
Once they abandoned the Dao of Luck, their strength would inevitably decline sharply.
By then, the other two races would undoubtedly swallow them up without hesitation.
Unless the three races could simultaneously abandon the Dao of Luck, they would simply be unable to break this stalemate.
But anyone with a clear eye knew that this was tantamount to a fantasy, simply impossible to achieve.
At this moment, Zu Long and the other two were already in a dilemma, caught between a rock and a hard place.
"Zu Long, you must have already noticed the drawbacks of the Dao of Luck. Let me see what choices you will make after knowing, don't disappoint me."
In the depths of Mount Sumeru, Luohu's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate layers of spatial obstacles, clearly seeing every move of Zu Long and the other two.
"What should come has finally come. Fellow Daoist Zu Long and the other two are probably already secretly preparing to make a move.
Fellow Daoist Luohu is hidden in the dark, I'm afraid he is also plotting against the three races. It seems I also need to prepare countermeasures as soon as possible."
In Yujing Mountain, Hongjun gazed at the evolving trend of the Primordial Land before him, his expression solemn, sighing deeply.
Then, his figure slowly dissipated, disappearing from its original spot.
"Heavenly Dao does not favor us, and the last attempt failed again. After resolving the Karma with Hongjun and Luohu this time, I should also leave the Primordial Land and go to Chaos.
However, before leaving, I should visit the Sea of Blood."
In a mysterious space within the Primordial Land, a Daoist with a lazy expression looked outside thoughtfully, muttering softly.
