Clenching his fists, River Styx's face revealed a trace of amazement. He was just an ordinary mortal in his past life, so how could he understand how powerful he was now? He had already felt powerful when he cultivated his nascent spirit, and now that he had transformed, he felt even more powerful.
When he transformed, River Styx had planned to resist the lightning tribulation with his physical body, and use the lightning tribulation to refine his body. When he reached his limit, he would use his magic treasure to block it. But unexpectedly, a purple lightning bolt suddenly appeared in his nascent spirit and absorbed most of the lightning tribulation's energy.
River Styx was a connate demon god, and his transformation tribulation was the Ninety-Nine Connate Lightning Tribulation, which was powerful enough to kill a Taiyi Golden Immortal. But even so, the lightning in his nascent spirit had absorbed most of the lightning tribulation's energy. It was simply unbelievable.
After transforming, the lightning bolt turned into a mark and remained in his glabella. River Styx also received information about this lightning bolt. This lightning bolt was called the Purple Heavenly Lightning, and in the Great Desolation, the Chaos Heavenly Lightning was the most powerful, followed by the Purple Heavenly Lightning.
River Styx's Purple Heavenly Lightning was the first Purple Heavenly Lightning that was born when Pangu opened the sky. It disappeared after Tendo appeared, and for some reason, it struck River Styx in his past life and brought his soul to the beginning of the Great Desolation.
But the Purple Heavenly Lightning was not that easy to use. After transforming, River Styx had successfully broken through to the early Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. His magic power was abundant, several times that of an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal. Even so, he could only use the Purple Heavenly Lightning once before his magic power was almost depleted. But considering the power of the Purple Heavenly Lightning, it could be used as a final trump card.
According to River Styx's original plan, after transforming, he could travel around the Great Desolation and see if he could find some ownerless treasures. But now that he had the Purple Heavenly Lightning, he felt that there was still room for improvement. Moreover, he had only refined 36 million Clones of the Blood God. Before he set out, he would refine at least 480 million Clones of the Blood God to ensure the stability of his base camp.
Refining 480 million Clones of the Blood God was a huge project, and it took River Styx about 130,000 years to complete it. What he regretted was that in order to replenish the Clones of the Blood God, he had used up almost all the Three Light Sacred Water that the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag had accumulated over the years.
However, with the 480 million Early Taiyi Xuan Immortal Clones guarding the Blood Sea and the Blood River Formation, the Blood Sea was safe. No one would dare to come to the Blood Sea. The Blood Sea was nothing to the Nether River, but it was fatal to other creatures. It was not a joke to be stained by blood.
And with 480 million Clones of the Blood God, River Styx's deduction ability could be greatly enhanced. For example, River Styx was the central processing unit of a computer, and the Clones of the Blood God were small CPUs. A powerful central processing unit with 480 million CPUs would have a powerful deduction ability.
The 36 million Clones of the Blood God's deduction technique had some flaws. His ideal technique was to cultivate both inside and outside, but the body refining technique deduced by the Clones of the Blood God was still lacking. Now that he had the Heavenly Thunder of Purple Heaven, he could use it to refine his body, which was definitely better than the previous body refining technique.
In addition, River Styx also needed to deduce some magical powers, sword techniques, flying techniques, formations, alchemy techniques, and weapon refining techniques. With the help of the Clones of the Blood God, River Styx could let the Clones of the Blood God experiment while he deduced. As the saying goes, true knowledge comes from practice.
But there was nothing in the Blood Sea except blood and Evil Qi, so River Styx set his sights outside the Blood Sea. The Blood Sea was located in the southwest of the Great Desolation. Because of the existence of the Blood Sea, the area around it was almost barren.
This made it convenient for River Styx. He mobilized tens of millions of Clones of the Blood God at once. Whether it was mountains, soil, spirit roots, spirit veins, or various ores, they were all moved to the Blood Sea. River Styx condensed them into an island that floated in the middle of the Blood Sea.
But the Evil Qi in the Blood Sea was too filthy. This floating island could not withstand the corrosion of the Evil Qi at all. Only by setting up a formation could the Evil Qi be isolated. However, River Styx only knew one formation, the Blood River Formation. The Blood River Formation gathered the Evil Qi, so it was not suitable to be used as a formation to protect the island.
However, River Styx had a thorough understanding of the Blood River Formation. With this formation as the foundation, coupled with the Clones of the Blood God's super deduction ability, River Styx could definitely deduce more formations from it and deduce more formations in case of emergencies.
For thousands of years, the entire Blood Sea had not stopped. There were all kinds of explosions and noises. In short, River Styx had not stopped deducing formations. The floating island above the Blood Sea had also changed greatly. It was like a blessed land of immortals. River Styx named it the Sacred Island.
The island had beautiful mountains and clear waters. Birds chirped and the fragrance of flowers bloomed. Birds and beasts played around the island. Sixty-four flags floated around the island. This was the formation that River Styx had set up to protect the island. It was called the Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation. This formation had extremely strong defensive power. It contained a maze formation, a trap formation, and a killing formation. In addition, this formation had a special feature, which was the ability to gather spirits.
The Blood Sea was too remote, so the Spiritual Qi was not as dense as in the Great Desolation. River Styx's improved cultivation method also required Spiritual Qi. After deducing the Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation, River Styx also refined a Blood Fiend Eight Trigrams Furnace as the eye of the formation. It was a supreme-grade Acquired Lingbao. After adding it to the Blood River Formation to draw in the Evil Qi of the Great Desolation, it became a supreme-grade Acquired Merit Lingbao.
The Blood Fiend Eight Trigrams Furnace could refine Evil Qi and convert it into Spiritual Qi. As a result, the Sacred Island was rich in Spiritual Qi. It was also a rare blessed land in the Great Desolation. In the center of the island, there was an antique garden. The words' Dao Garden 'were written on the plaque above the garden gate.
In the main courtyard, River Styx sat on a stone bench and looked at the jade slip in his hand. He looked very satisfied. This was the result of his hard work for thousands of years without eating or drinking. It recorded the cultivation method, divine ability, flying technique, sword technique, formation, alchemy method, and refining method that he had deduced.
Previously, the cultivation method was called 'Blood Sea Mystic Technique'. This name was too old-fashioned, so River Styx changed the name to 'Tyrant Blood Mystic Thunder Technique'. The cultivation method was divided into the Body Refining Technique and the Primordial Spirit Technique. The Primordial Spirit Technique was mainly based on the Blood Sea Mystic Technique and was further optimized.
The Body Refining Technique mainly used divine thunder to refine the body, and at the same time, temper one's Blood Qi, so as to achieve the goal of the continuous evolution of the body and finally achieve the body of a Chaotic Demon God. This was a path that defied the natural order and was extremely dangerous. However, wasn't cultivation a path that defied the natural order? Since this was the case, there was no need to be overcautious.
As for the Divine Ability that River Styx had developed, there weren't many. Apart from the Blood God's Offspring, he had developed three other Divine Abilities. The first was' Substitution Technique ', which allowed him to transfer the attack he received to the Blood God's Offspring. When he received a fatal attack, the Blood God's Offspring could block the attack for him. Of course, this had not been tested in a real battle, but only on the Blood God.
The second was' Blood God Transformation ', which was a technique to transform into divine beasts of the universe. This wasn't very useful to River Styx, but it would be good to teach it to his disciples in the future. Ordinary transformation techniques were only superficial, but the Blood God Transformation was different.
The so-called Blood God Transformation was a transformation technique. There were a total of one hundred and eight types of Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends, which could transform into one hundred and eight types of divine beasts of heaven and earth. However, in order to truly possess the power of the divine beast he transformed into, he would need to fuse with the blood essence of one hundred and eight types of divine beasts. This blood essence was the one thing that the Blood Sea lacked the least. However, this transformation technique wasn't very useful to a Connate Demon God like River Styx, so it would be good to teach it to his disciples in the future.
To this end, River Styx had also slightly modified the Great Formation of the Blood River. The Evil Blood Qi drawn over by the formation would be stored in different regions of the Blood Sea according to the species. This way, he only needed to remove the Evil Blood Qi in the blood of whichever species he wanted.
The third was the 'Blood Burning Technique', which forcibly burned one's own Blood Qi to increase one's offensive power. This was a technique that put one's life on the line and should only be used as a last resort. The first was that River Styx himself probably wouldn't use it much. It was mainly prepared for his disciples in the future.
There were two flight techniques that River Styx had deduced. The first was a flight technique called the 'Blood Cloud Escape', which could allow one to travel two hundred thousand li in a breath. There were probably not many in the Great Desolation who could match up to River Styx's speed. The second was a combat movement technique called the 'Blood Shadow Step', which could be used in battle to increase one's speed to the point of manifesting blood shadows. When cultivated to the highest level, one could manifest nine blood shadows.
In terms of swordsmanship, River Styx had comprehended the Yuantu and Avici Swords and had barely touched the threshold of the Great Dao of Slaughter. At the same time, he had also comprehended a set of swordsmanship called the 'Boundless Sword Technique', which implied that the swordsmanship had endless variations. Although there were only two sword moves, the 'Blood Pervades the World' and the 'Blood Fiend Breaks the Sky', each move was overflowing with killing intent.
As for the art of formations, River Styx's talent wasn't bad. Not only did he come up with the Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation, he also came up with two other formations. The first was the 'Yin-Yang Blood Killing Formation', which was set up by the Yuantu and Avici Swords. Coupled with River Styx's cultivation as a Taiyi Golden Immortal, he was almost invincible among those of the same level. It was definitely a first-rate formation in the Great Desolation.
The second was the 'Red Lotus Blood Fiend Formation', which used the Red Lotus of Hellfire as the eye of the formation. It used the Blood Fiend Qi and the Red Lotus Hellfire to trap and kill the enemy. Unless the enemy was protected by a great Divine Skill or a defensive Innate Lingbao, there was almost no chance of survival. Of course, the enemy's strength couldn't be too much stronger than River Styx's.
Lastly, River Styx's talent in alchemy and refining equipment could only be considered good in this aspect. However, his cheating deduction ability couldn't stop him from having some attainments in alchemy and refining equipment. He had created the 'Blood Refining Technique', which used various kinds of blood essence in combination with medicinal herbs and ores to refine alchemy and refining equipment. The effect was quite good, but it still needed to be perfected.
Since everything was ready, River Styx was ready to embark on his first journey in the Great Desolation. Although his cultivation had reached the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, his state of mind still couldn't catch up. After all, he still retained the habits of his previous life. Cultivating his heart in the mortal world was also a lesson that he had to learn.
The Great Desolation was relatively peaceful now. However, in the future, countless cultivators would fall in each Cultivation Tribulation. There was no lack of Innate Demon Gods like River Styx. In the end, this was a world where the fist was the truth. Only the strong had the right to set the rules, and only the strong had the right to talk about kindness.
