"Have we passed the test?" Fan Wu Jie asked as he walked in front of the mummy.
The mummy smiled and said, "Don't blame us, fellow Daoist. We had no other choice. If we want to escape from this Eye of the Sea, we won't be able to get away with just a leather suit. If we can't even get a ten-thousand-year-old leather suit, then there's no point in joining us … In other words, this is the first test!"
"The first test!" Yuan Yu said unhappily, "Is there a second test?"
The mummy smiled but didn't answer. It continued, "Since you two have passed the first test, then I will bring you to our meeting place!"
The few of them climbed down from the Kun's corpse and continued to walk along the winding blood river. The mummy's green fur fluttered in the wind as it walked along the blood river. Behind it was a beggar in rags and a Daoist in a fluttering Daoist robe. It was a strange combination as they walked along the blood river.
Fan Wu Jie and Yuan Yu were a little hesitant.
"Where is this bastard taking us?" Fan Wu Jie asked in a low voice, "Is he trying to take advantage of us … I think this bastard is very strange."
"The way out of the Blood Sea is only in the hands of the Great Asura King Poya's old subordinates. Before King Poya was suppressed, he raised his hand to prop up this pure land. No one knows this place better than his old subordinates!" Yuan Yu said as if he was trying to cheer himself up, "Little Fan, we've been forced into this place, and there's no turning back! Now, we have no choice but to walk this path to the end. "
The two of them secretly raised their spirits and looked around cautiously. As they walked further away from the mummy, they started to walk into King Poya's palm. The five heavenly pillars stood in all directions, surrounding the depression formed by the palm.
"Rumble …"
The deafening roar of the blood river came from in front of them. They were all taken aback as they saw a boundless sea of blood in front of them. It was white and gloomy, and at the end of the land and mountains was a boundless sea of blood. The thick color of blood made people's hearts tremble with fear.
Yuan Yu spread his palms and used his palm lines to simulate the scene when he fell from the eye of the ocean and saw the land on Poya King's palm.
"So that's how it is. The center of the palm was slightly caved in, and there were countless tiny veins on the towering hills around it that gathered at the center of the palm. The Origin Corroding Blood that flowed down from the five fingers and the mound of the palm all gathered there, forming an inner sea surrounded by the continent of bones. After that, two rivers of blood flowed out from the inner sea. One flowed along the path that we came from and fell into the gate of the valley. The other flowed from the tiger's mouth and formed a huge waterfall that fell into the blood sea below the bone continent. "
The boundless sea of blood emitted a soul-stirring vitality, as if it was a gigantic life. It contained both the origin and the final destination, making all living beings feel small and shaken in front of it.
Its huge body swayed slightly, and the rippling life energy and blood energy made it hard for people to stand steadily.
His Primordial Spirit felt a great sense of dizziness … and this was just a tiny body. In the face of such a vast and incomparable life, it instinctively lost its head!
"The Blood Sea!" Yuan Yu clicked his tongue and said, "This is the Blood Sea that gave birth to a lawless and terrifying existence like the Slaughter Demon Ancestor. Legend has it that the Blood Sea was formed from the filthy blood that flowed out from the body of the great god Pangu, who created the world. It contains endless life energy, including all the secrets of the origin and end of all living beings. "
"Only such a terrifying existence could give birth to an almighty being like the Demon Ancestor!"
"The Blood Sea gave birth to the Slaughter Demon Ancestor … Could it be that the Blood Sea gave birth to a terrifying existence as well?" Fan Wu Jie said in shock.
"The Blood Sea that nurtured the Nether River Patriarch … is countless times vaster than this. What you see is merely a scale of the Blood Sea before you, and the Blood Sea before you is merely a bit of blood accumulated in the palm of the king's hand that holds it out. The entire Blood Sea Eye that drowns the king, including the Blood Mist Sea in the Ultimate, is merely the blood left behind when the Nether River Patriarch stirred the true, boundless Blood Sea!" the mummy said quietly.
"Do you think that you can imagine the Blood Sea just by looking at this lake of blood … Haha! You can't even imagine the terror of the Blood Sea! " After the mummy finished speaking, it stood silently on the spot, lost in thought. Fan Wu Jie could actually see a trace of deep, bone-deep fear on the mummy's face, which had no expression at all, from the mummy's emaciated face.
"The Ancestor River Styx!" the mummy said faintly.
He dared to scold the traitor Shemoli, the Lord of Daira, but he did not dare to harbor any resentment towards the true mastermind, the Slaughter Demon Ancestor.
Fan Wu Jie did not know what King Poya and his old subordinates had encountered in the past, but to be able to make the mummy, a terrifying expert with a strong and tenacious heart, unable to erase that shadow in his entire life, it was easy to imagine the terror and terror of the Ancestor River Styx, who was revered as the Slaughter Demon Ancestor.
"The Blood Sea does not dry up, the River Styx does not die!" Yuan Yu said with a sigh.
The mummy trembled. "How dare you, how dare you say such a thing!" A horrified expression appeared on his skeletal face. This was the first time Fan Wu Jie had seen the mummy reveal such an expression.
"The Blood Sea does not dry up, the River Styx does not die!" Fan Wu Jie thought about it for a while and understood that the River Styx was the Slaughter Demon Ancestor's real name. If the Blood Sea does not dry up, the River Styx does not die, the reverse of this sentence would mean that the Blood Sea does not dry up, the River Styx dies!
Fan Wu Jie's heart shook, and he thought to himself, 'This sentence hides the secret of how to kill the Slaughter Demon Ancestor. No wonder the mummy was so terrified. If I were the Slaughter Demon Ancestor, I would not let anyone know my weakness …'
But soon, Fan Wu Jie could not help but laugh. Even Yuan Yu knew this sentence, and two out of three people here knew it. It was not a secret. If the Slaughter Demon Ancestor wanted to hide its weakness, it would have to kill two-thirds of the experts in Untainted Land, not to mention the big shots that the Slaughter Demon Ancestor could not touch.
For example, the three Daozu, the Gautama Buddha, and the other Destruction Demon Ancestor.
And even if they knew that the Blood Sea would dry up and the River Styx would die, could they kill the Slaughter Demon Ancestor? The true Boundless Blood Sea was probably countless times grander than what he had seen. It might even be stronger than the Sinkhole. Even if everyone knew that the Massacring Demon Lord could only be killed by severing the foundation of the Blood Sea and drying up the entire Blood Sea, was there anyone who could do it?
Fan Wu Jie thought carefully, and suddenly realized the true secret of this sentence.
'On the surface, this sentence is hinting at the way to kill the Slaughter Demon Ancestor, but this method is actually impossible, so it is actually promoting the power of the Slaughter Demon Ancestor in disguise. But it also seems to be hinting at another layer of secret … The origin of the Slaughter Demon Ancestor, if the Blood Sea does not dry up and the River Styx does not die, then the Blood Sea is the River Styx, and the River Styx is the Blood Sea. This implies that the true body of the River Styx Ancestor is actually the Blood Sea … Wait, this Blood Sea is also a part of the Blood Sea, then isn't it equivalent to a clone of the Slaughter Demon Ancestor! '
Fan Wu Jie came back to his senses. The Shemoli King, the Ashura Clan's guards, and the guards guarding the Ultimate's seal were all just a show.
After King Poya rebelled and tried to rescue the Destruction Demon Ancestor Rho, the reason why the River Styx Ancestor spent so much effort to set up this Blood Sea to suppress the Destruction Demon Disciples, and even bribe King Poya's subordinates to betray and guard these old subordinates was all a smokescreen. The real guardian of the Destruction Demon Ancestor Rho was probably this Primordial Corroding Blood Sea.
It was the clone of the Slaughter Demon Ancestor!
No wonder. How could the Slaughter Demon Ancestor trust a traitor? He had personally suppressed the Destruction Demon Ancestor here, so of course he had to personally guard it to be at ease. Thinking deeper, the reason why the Slaughter Demon Ancestor had suddenly suppressed the Destruction Demon Ancestor, who was also a Demon Path Sect Master, was probably because he had long foreseen the destruction of the Primordial World and the day when the Destruction Demon Ancestor would become even stronger.
His foundation was the Boundless Blood Sea, and its power was incomparably vast. It was impossible for anyone to suppress him.
Its only weakness was that it could destroy everything. It was the enemy of all existences. The only thing in the world that could dry up the Blood Sea was the Destruction Demon Ancestor's demonized Ultimate. If the Ultimate's power was twice as strong as it was now, it could probably encircle the Blood Sea, suppress it, and slowly erase it … So the Slaughter Demon Ancestor had made the first move to gain the upper hand!
Fan Wu Jie was shocked by his own imagination!
He seemed to have touched on the truth behind the destruction of the Primordial World and the suppression of the Destruction Demon Ancestor. It was a secret that was truly enough to shock the universe. The true body of the Slaughter Demon Ancestor was the Boundless Ancient Blood Sea, and its only nemesis was the Destruction Demon Ancestor's demonized Ultimate Ruin Sea Eye.
If either of these two pieces of news were leaked, it would be enough to change the entire situation of the Myriad Tribulations Demon Path.
At this time, Fan Wu Jie was not sure of his previous speculation!
It was impossible for such a terrifying secret to be known by too many people. 'As long as the Blood Sea doesn't dry up, the River Styx doesn't die', this sentence might really be a taboo.
Yuan Yu glanced at the corpse that was reacting violently and shook his head slightly. "The Demon Ancestor doesn't care!"
"The Demon Ancestor doesn't care, but the demon children under him do!" The corpse stared at Old Taoist Yuan Yu and squeezed out a sentence from between its teeth. "This is a taboo. You better not touch it again, or I can only use mutual destruction to erase you! The Demon Ancestor doesn't care about ants like us. If we want to escape, we can only pray that he doesn't care about us. Therefore, it's best for us to know less. The less we know, the safer we will be. "
"If someone wants to know too many secrets … and cause us to be unable to escape from here, I will be the first to not let him go!"
The fifth of the Primordial World's Ten Deadly Propositions — You Know Too Much!
Since ancient times, countless heroes and powerhouses had died unknowingly because they were too deeply involved in the schemes of the great powers and knew too much. This sentence had even given rise to the fourth of the Ten Greatest Death Questions — Fellow Daoist, please stay!
"There are probably some inconceivable things under the Blood Sea …" Yuan Yu said in a low voice. "It's best not to touch it easily!"
The corpse looked deeply at Yuan Yu and said in a low voice, "You have many secrets, but people with too many secrets don't live long. Remember, I don't care what strange things you have on you. Before we escape, you better know your place! "
The corpse stood at the edge of the Blood Sea for a long time. It was unknown what method it used to send a signal to the other side. After a long time, Fan Wu Jie and Yuan Yu saw a small black dot appear far away from the Blood Sea. When the black dot grew bigger and bigger, they could clearly see that it was a small boat with black awning. A boatman stood at the bow of the boat, rowing two oars.
The small boat swayed as it approached. It didn't look very eye-catching. Even the boatman on the boat was wearing a straw raincoat. He looked like an ordinary fisherman.
However, this inconspicuous little boat traversed the Blood Sea peacefully.
This made Fan Wu Jie and Yuan Yu's hair stand on end. Old Taoist Yuan Yu said in a low voice, "Legend has it that there is a ferryman on the River Styx of the Nine Nether that guides souls to the Underworld of Reincarnation. The Boundless Blood Sea's mysteriousness is not much less than the River Styx. Could this be the legendary ferryman of the River Styx?"
The ferryman of the River Styx!
Fan Wu Jie's hair stood on end! Since ancient times, the Underworld had been incomparably mysterious. Before the collapse of the primordial era, there were legends of immortals and gods breaking into the Underworld and returning safely. After the collapse of the primordial era, no one knew where the Underworld ended. If it weren't for the fact that souls could reincarnate normally, the universe would have thought that the Underworld had been destroyed during the great calamity of the primordial era.
Since then, the Underworld had become a legend. There were many fragments of the netherworld and the dark side of the world.
Dao Lords and Golden Immortals could ascend to the heavens and descend to the Yellow Springs, but the location of reincarnation was nowhere to be seen.
Other than the fragments, it was as if the Underworld had disappeared. But no one had ever seen the complete soul of a Dao Lord after his death. The remnant soul of a Dao Lord that the world had seen was some kind of indescribable existence. It was closer to a kind of obsession. Legend had it that the Dao Lord's true spirit had been captured by the Underworld! And no matter how powerful a Dao Lord was, no one had ever returned from reincarnation.
Even if someone had awakened the mystery in the womb and realized their past life, they would not be able to recall the situation of reincarnation.
At this time, the existence of the Underworld had become a taboo …
When the ferryman stopped the boat by the shore, Fan Wu Jie finally could not help but ask, "Where is the Underworld?"
The ferryman's hand that was tying the boat stopped. He raised his head and frowned with his wrinkled face. "The Underworld has long been destroyed … The Heaven Court has been destroyed, so how could the Underworld still exist? The Ten Halls of Yanluo are all dead! Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva does not dare to enter hell again, the Blood Sea, River Styx, and the Netherworld Yidu are not in the present world, so young man, you are asking where the Underworld is? Are you seeking death? "
Fan Wu Jie was stunned, and he said, "How is asking for death?"
"Where is the Netherworld? Isn't that just seeking death? "The boatman stopped the boat and said to the shore," Are you guys still going? "
The mummy straightened his body and jumped straight onto the boat. The boatman looked at him and said, "Your condition is getting worse and worse. If you don't beg me to send you to the River Styx, you will be completely destroyed by the Dao of Destruction. Your soul will be destroyed, and your true spirit will not exist anymore. You will not even have a next life!"
"I know my own affairs!" The mummy said gloomily.
"The Underworld is gone! How do the living beings in the universe reincarnate? Where do the souls go after death? Why do the universe only find some lost souls? What is in the depths of the Netherworld's fragment? " Fan Wu Jie still could not suppress his curiosity. Listening to the boatman's words, he really was related to the Underworld, so he could not help but ask.
"Why are you asking so many questions? Are you coming on the boat?" The boatman said.
Yuan Yu jumped onto the boat, and Fan Wu Jie followed. The boatman untied the rope, and the two oars swung a foot away with a slight force. The boat slowly sailed towards the Blood Sea. The boatman said, "The Underworld is gone, but the reincarnation is still there. The depths of the Netherworld is the reincarnation."
"The Heaven Court is gone, the Underworld is gone! Why is the reincarnation still there? "
"The reincarnation is an existence older than the Heaven Court and the Underworld. The reason why the Underworld was destroyed was probably because it interfered with the reincarnation, which caused the dissatisfaction of the ancient existence … Even the Ten Halls Yanluo, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and Qing Hua Empress could not ignore the dissatisfaction, so the Ten Halls Yanluo died! Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva changed to sit beside the Blood Sea. "
"Why did Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sit beside the Blood Sea?"
"The hell of the universe had sunk into the Blood Sea, and the sinful souls and evil ghosts had all run into the Blood Sea, so what could he do if he did not go?" The boatman said calmly, "Now the Blood Sea is the hell of Avici … You are asking so many questions, sooner or later, you will be fated with hell!"
Fan Wu Jie did not dare to ask any more questions, because he felt that as he asked and answered, he really had a trace of fate with a deep and terrifying place, and there was a great terror in it, so he could not seek death anymore!
The small boat glided on the Blood Sea, and went straight into the depths of the Blood Sea. Not long after, it disappeared into the boundless background of blood, and neither did it connect to the sky nor the ground, and no one knew where it was going …
