The God-Slaying Spear was River Styx's most handy offensive magic weapon ever since the Great Desolation because it could devour everything to strengthen its own characteristics. It also saved River Styx a lot of trouble. Refining Lingbao required a lot of materials, and the higher the grade of Lingbao, the more precious the materials were. This was a huge problem for people like River Styx who did not have a strong foundation.
If it was just River Styx alone, it would not be a problem. However, the problem was that River Styx had the Three Corpses. With the four of them working together, the difficulty of refining Lingbao increased by a lot. Not to mention the existence of the Qian Kun World, which was a huge money-sponger. It could be said that most of the resources collected by River Styx had become nutrients for the growth of the Qian Kun World.
The God-Slaying Spear was the most special magic weapon among all the magic weapons. During the Great Desolation, River Styx had refined this magic weapon to make up for its flaw of only being able to devour Primordial Spirits. Now, by devouring flesh and Primordial Spirits, the God-Slaying Spear could continuously advance. During the years when River Styx was in the Endless Star Region, the God-Slaying Spear had devoured many Cosmic Beasts in the Creation Realm. It was also because of this that it became the first middle-grade Chaotic Lingbao in River Styx's hands so quickly.
One was a Middle-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure that focused solely on attacking, while the other was a Low-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure that was considered a low-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure. The result of the collision between the two was imaginable. Not to mention, the difference between the people who used them was not small. Although the old Daoist was at the Middle-grade Creation Realm like Minghe, the gap between him and Minghe was huge even though they were at the same level.
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world. The old Taoist priest's sneak attack on River Styx failed and he even lost a Chaotic Lingbao. He was so angry that he vomited blood. Of course, this was a joke. The old Taoist priest did vomit blood, but it was just a normal reaction when a Lingbao was destroyed. However, the old Taoist priest did not have any chance to regret. A sword light flashed past. Even if the old Taoist priest reacted and hurriedly defended himself, it was useless.
River Styx glanced at the owner of the sword light. It was Hongjun, who had temporarily joined forces with him. The long sword in Hongjun's hand emitted a cold light that made people shudder. River Styx, who was proficient in the art of refining, could naturally tell that the long sword was a high-grade Chaotic Lingbao. The refining method on it was completely different from the one in Hongjun's Purple Cloud Palace. It should not have been refined by Hongjun himself. It seemed that Hongjun had his own opportunities.
River Styx did not care about Hongjun's attack. He was not a person who believed in heroism and would not stupidly choose to fight one-on-one with an enemy. Now that they were in a chaotic situation, there was nothing to be calculative about. The God-Slaying Spear in his hand trembled slightly and a long dragon of murderous aura suddenly flew out. It directly swallowed the old Taoist priest's corpse. After all, it was the corpse of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Fate Realm. It was still worth devouring.
The massacre continued. Even when River Styx and Hongjun joined forces, dozens of cultivators in the middle stage of the Fate Realm were no match for them. Instead, they were killed by them. This made the others take them seriously. The cultivators in the early and middle stage of the Fate Realm no longer dared to attack them. After all, they did not want to court death.
Since the early and middle stage of the Fate Realm did not dare to attack River Styx and Hongjun, naturally, no one would attack them. This time, their opponent was an expert in the late stage of the Fate Realm. This person had red hair and was dressed in black. He exuded a murderous aura. It was obvious that this person was not someone to be trifled with. His appearance caused the surrounding people to gasp.
"This is … Blood Shura … Taoist Zuoqiu … these two are in big trouble."
"Blood Shura? Taoist Zuoqiu? Who is he? Is he famous? "
"Of course. You don't even know Blood Shura. You are ignorant. In the Central Region, there is an Earth-level force called King of Hell Mansion. It is the most famous Earth-level force, but also the most bizarre one. They do not have a specific force base, but they have many strongholds in various parts of the Central Region. They specialize in killing people for money. They even dare to attack the core disciples of Heaven-level forces."
"Then these two are in danger. Blood Shura is quite famous in the Central Region."
Listening to the conversations of the crowd, River Styx and Hongjun did not show a trace of fear on their faces. Instead, they revealed an inexplicable smile. Blood Shura? It sounded strange. After all, River Styx was the ancestor of the Shura Clan. Although that was only during the Great Desolation, as long as River Styx was willing, it was not impossible for him to create a powerful Shura Clan on the Battlefield of Gods and Demons.
Looking at the faint smile on River Styx and Hongjun's faces, Blood Shura felt as if he was being provoked. His eyes flashed with a murderous glint, but there was still a smile on his face. Although this smile was full of murderous intent, it made people feel a chill down their spines. Even the people around them felt Blood Shura's murderous intent and retreated a little to avoid being affected.
Blood Shura stared straight at River Styx and Hongjun with his murderous eyes. With a terrifying smile, he said in a deep voice, "You two are very interesting. You don't show the slightest fear in front of me. Not bad. I like it. I like people like you. I like it even more when you show fear. The slaughter is about to begin."
River Styx and Hongjun looked at each other, as if they were communicating something. Seeing River Styx and Hongjun ignoring him, Blood Shura became even more furious. He brandished the blood-red saber in his hand. Countless saber qis transformed into blood-red divine dragons, blotting out the sky and covering the earth as they charged towards River Styx and Hongjun. For a moment, the murderous aura in the starry sky crisscrossed.
This Blood Shura's reputation was not just for show. The blood-red saber in his hand was a high-grade Chaos Lingbao, which was of the same grade as Hongjun's immortal sword. Its power seemed to be slightly stronger than Hongjun's. Coupled with the Law of Slaughter that he had comprehended, its power naturally increased greatly. If it were an ordinary cultivator in the middle stage of the Creation Realm, they would have been injured, if not killed.
In the face of such an attack, River Styx and Hongjun did not move at all. They were not moved at all. Hongjun took a small step forward and stretched out his hand. A chessboard appeared in his hand. Then, Hongjun chanted softly, "Heaven and earth as the board, stars as the chess pieces. Everything in the world is a chess piece." In an instant, a huge chessboard appeared in the starry sky.
"Na!" Hongjun chanted softly again. The thousands of saber Qis immediately stopped in the starry sky. In the blink of an eye, they turned into chess pieces and fell on the chessboard. Lines intersected between the three of them. River Styx, Hongjun, and Blood Shura seemed to be chess players. However, this was not an ordinary game of chess. It was a game of life and death.
"What a Chessboard of Heaven and Earth." River Styx could not help but praise in his heart. The chessboard in Hongjun's hand was not an ordinary chessboard. In terms of Lingbao, it was a top-grade Chaos Lingbao. In terms of formations, this chessboard was also a formation plate. Now, River Styx, Hongjun, and Blood Shura were all in the formation. Moreover, this formation had a strange name.
The Chessboard of Life and Death was the name of this formation. Once one entered the formation, there was no other way to leave the formation, unless one fought to the death or completely destroyed the chessboard. What was more special was that this formation would transfer the fate of the one who died to the other. It was because of this that this formation was highly regarded by many forces.
No force could be harmonious. If there was an irreconcilable conflict, a battle of life and death would often take place. The place of the battle of life and death was usually called the Life and Death Platform. The Life and Death Platform was usually set with a special formation like the Chessboard of Life and Death. In this way, even if a disciple was lost, it would not be an absolute pity.
However, Hongjun's chessboard was different from the Life and Death Platform. Both sides on the Life and Death Platform were chess pieces. They could not control the formation, but Hongjun could. When the formation was set up, Blood Shura's face showed a trace of panic for the first time. Obviously, he did not expect Hongjun to play such a trick. Fortunately, this formation was not a pure offensive formation. Otherwise, he would be dead.
Hongjun did not pay attention to Blood Shura's expression. He spat out another word, "Return!" The chess pieces transformed from thousands of Saber Qi returned to their original form and struck out again. However, the target was changed to Blood Shura. Blood Shura's face changed slightly when he saw this. He struck out with his big saber again. The collision of Saber Qi and Saber Qi was earth-shattering.
The Saber Qi and Saber Qi canceled each other out and dissipated between heaven and earth. Blood Shura's pupils shrank slightly and the anger on his face grew. To attack him with his Saber Qi was simply an insult to him. Just now, he was careless and allowed his attack to help his opponent. But now, it was not so easy to control his Saber Qi. Now, it was time for him to counterattack. As long as he killed River Styx and Hongjun, their fate would belong to him.
Blood Shura's daydream had been shattered before it even began. The moment the Saber Qi dissipated, a huge axe was already striking toward him. Blood Shura was instantly alerted. He waved his big saber and met the axe head-on. In addition to the booming sound of the Lingbao colliding, he also heard a clear cracking sound.
Although he had blocked the huge axe, Blood Shura did not feel happy at all. Looking at the saber that had accompanied him for countless years, Blood Shura's face turned extremely pale. After one blow, the saber in his hand was chipped and there were clear cracks on the blade. When the Lingbao was damaged, his mind was naturally affected as well.
Blood Shura raised his head and looked at River Styx and Hongjun. The arrogance and anger that had been provoked by the two had long disappeared from his face. There was only astonishment and a trace of fear on his face. Supreme Grade Chaotic Lingbao. Moreover, there were two of them at the same time. This was far beyond his expectations. What was even more frightening was that Blood Shura did not know whether this was their final trump card. However, he was clear that his fate was about to come to an end.
