In short, for thousands of years, the Shaman and Demon Clans had constant friction, but the two clans seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. Although there were constant small battles, they did not really start a full-scale war. It was not because they were afraid, but because the two clans were making their final preparations.
On the Demon Clan's side, the addition of Fuxi and Nüwa greatly increased the strength of the Celestial Court. Although Nüwa had the title of Empress Wa, she lived in seclusion and did not participate in the affairs of the Demon Clan. However, Fuxi was different. With his innate deduction skills and extraordinary wisdom, he was trusted by Di Jun.
Fuxi also lived up to the title of Emperor Xi. He created many battle formations for the Demon Clan, greatly increasing the combat power of the Demon Clan's army. Di Jun even lent his Lingbao He Tu and Luo Shu to Fuxi to comprehend. Fuxi even comprehended the Zhouxing Formation in one fell swoop.
The Zhouxing Formation, together with the Fairy Slaying Sword Formation, the Twelve Divine Fiends Formation, and the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, were known as the Four Great Magical Formations of the Great Desolation. The Fairy Slaying Sword Formation had been set up during the Initial Tribulation of the Dragon Han Era, but the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and the Twelve Divine Fiends Formation had not been born yet.
Combining the power of the three hundred and sixty-five stars in the sky, and with the Sun Star and the Moon Star as the core of the formation, the formation was incomparably deep and full of killing intent. To set up the formation, three hundred and sixty-five Great Heavenly Star Banners were needed, which corresponded to the three hundred and sixty-five main stars in the sky. Then, another fourteen thousand and eight hundred Minor Heavenly Star Banners were needed, which corresponded to the fourteen thousand and eight hundred secondary stars.
When setting up the formation, 365 Great Zhouxing Banners were the roots, 14,800 Small Zhouxing Banners were the trunk, and billions of Demon Clans were the branches and leaves. With the power of Zhouxing, no one knew how powerful and mighty the formation would be.
However, just refining the Universal Star Banners required to set up the formation was already an extremely huge project. They also had to select the Demon Clan members who could control the formation, as well as the time needed to practice the formation. All in all, it was impossible to complete without thousands or tens of thousands of years. Therefore, they needed time.
The situation of the Wu Tribe was similar to that of the Demon Tribe. The Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery were also practicing the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation that they had obtained from the inheritance of Pangu. Heaven's will was really like a knife. Everything had its own destiny. The two great formations of the Wu Tribe and the Demon Tribe were almost born at the same time.
In fact, the Twelve Zu Wu had long known about the existence of the Twelve Divine Fiends Formation. However, it was too dangerous, and the Twelve Zu Wu had expended a lot of energy to set it up. All this time, the Wu people had no opponents in the Great Desolation, so they had abandoned it.
However, ever since the Demon Clan took over the Celestial Court, their strength had grown. After Fuxi and Nüwa joined the Celestial Court, the Twelve Zu Wu also felt the pressure from the Demon Clan. In the long run, the Demon Clan's strength would definitely catch up to the Wu people. This was something that the Twelve Zu Wu could not help but worry about.
In order to keep a trump card, the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery could only begin to practice the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation. Although this formation caused a heavy burden to the Ancestors of Sorcery, there was a return on investment. The power of this formation was amazing, and there was a super trump card, which made the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery determined.
The Lich was secretly accumulating energy. The Great Desolation also fell into a short period of peace. Like the sea before a storm, it seemed calm, but in the next moment, it could be stormy. Although the Great Desolation had calmed down, the Evil Spirit in the world did not decrease. Instead, it slowly increased. When it reached a certain level, the Cataclysm would officially begin.
On the Sacred Island of the Blood Sea, River Styx looked at the increasing Evil Spirit in the world with a solemn expression. Although this Cataclysm was a Cataclysm between Liches and Demons, many powerful people in the Great Desolation would not be able to avoid it. Moreover, River Styx did not have the slightest intention of avoiding it.
River Styx knew that in this Cataclysm, the battle between Liches and Demons was secondary. The most important thing was the emergence of the Human Clan and the Six Sages. River Styx boasted that he was not inferior to any of the Six Sages, so he naturally wanted to obtain the Origin Dao Fruit in this Cataclysm. Otherwise, when he faced the Sages, he would always be at a disadvantage, and even his life would be in danger.
River Styx had been in closed-door training ever since he came back from the sermon in the Purple Cloud Palace. With the help of the Good and Evil Corpses, the deduction of the Dharma was much faster. The Qiankun Taoist deduced the Dharma of Heaven and Earth, the Red Lotus Taoist deduced the Dharma of Slaughter, and River Styx himself was in charge of deducing the Dharma of Blood and the Dharma of Soul.
The Good Corpse Qiankun Taoist was already at the late stage of Quasi-saint when he executed the Corpse Severing. After deducing half of the Dharma of Heaven and Earth, the damage caused by the execution of the Corpse Severing had been completely healed. Although his cultivation was still at the late stage of Quasi-saint, he was several times stronger than before, and was only one step away from the peak of Quasi-saint.
The Evil Corpse Red Lotus Taoist was at the peak of Quasi-saint when he was born, but his foundation was not stable. His cultivation also benefited from the Red Lotus of Fire, which had just evolved into a middle-grade primordial treasure. In order to stabilize his cultivation and heal the damage of the Red Lotus of Fire, Red Lotus Taoist had not stopped for a moment in the past thousands of years.
While using the Triple Light Holy Water to nourish the Red Lotus of Fire, he also deduced the Dharma of Slaughter. In order to completely stabilize his cultivation at the peak of Quasi-saint before the third sermon in the Purple Cloud Palace, River Styx had paid a great price, directly sacrificing merits to the Taoist Mirror. Finally, not long ago, he succeeded in deducing the Dharma of Slaughter to sixty percent, and Red Lotus Taoist's cultivation was completely stabilized.
Unfortunately, River Styx had already executed the Dharma of Slaughter and the Dharma of Heaven and Earth together with the Good Corpse and Evil Corpse when he executed the Corpse Severing. Although River Styx himself could use the Dharma of the Good Corpse and Evil Corpse's comprehension of the Dharma, he could no longer rely on it to improve his cultivation. It was just like when the Sage's Primordial Spirit was attached to the Tendo, he could borrow the power of the Tendo, but the power of the Tendo could not help him improve his cultivation.
Now, the Evil Corpse, Red Lotus Taoist, had suddenly comprehended the Dharma of Slaughter to sixty percent, and used it to stabilize his cultivation at the peak of Quasi-saint. However, River Styx himself did not break through to the peak of Quasi-saint. Nevertheless, River Styx himself could borrow the Dharma of the Good Corpse and Evil Corpse's comprehension of the Dharma of Soul, which greatly increased his battle prowess.
The Dharma of Soul was extremely profound, and was also the foundation of River Styx's Blood God Clone, Blood God Clone, and Rebirth from a Drop of Blood. However, this was not the most incredible use of the Dharma of Soul. Generally speaking, when executing the Corpse Severing, if the Dharma of Soul was executed together with the Dharma of Soul like River Styx, although it could speed up the comprehension of the Dharma of Soul, the Corpse Severing could only use their own Dharma of Soul and the Three Corpses.
However, it was different with the Dharma of Soul. With the Dharma of Soul, River Styx could clearly sense the Good Corpse and Evil Corpse's comprehension of the Dharma. Although it could not improve his cultivation, it could at least increase his battle prowess. However, it was a pity that River Styx could borrow the Dharma of the Good Corpse and Evil Corpse, but the Good Corpse and Evil Corpse did not understand the Dharma of Soul, so they could only rely on their own Dharma of Soul.
Although it was a little imperfect, River Styx was content. He did not delay his cultivation of the Dharma of Soul, nor did he give up on his physical cultivation. He was now on the path of the Chaos Demon God, and a strong physical body was the most basic requirement. Previously, he had broken through to the late Quasi-saint level by breaking through to 50% of the Dharma of Slaughter and the Dharma of Blood. However, his physical body was still at the level of the Dharma of Soul when he was in the middle Quasi-saint level. Of course, he had to spend some time to cultivate his physical body.
For nearly seven thousand years, River Styx and the Good Corpse and Evil Corpse had always been in a state of cultivation. The Merit Sacrifice had never stopped, and the Merit Sacrifice Mirror of Tao Rhyme consumed was comparable to the Merit Sacrifice Lich when the Lich Race was founded. What made River Styx's heart ache the most was that the Merit Golden Lotus he condensed had shrunk by a lot. He had been accumulating it for many years, so how could he not feel heartache after using so much?
However, he could not bear to part with the child, so he could not trap the wolf. Putting aside the cultivation of the Good Corpse and Evil Corpse, River Styx's personal gains were astonishing. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Quasi-saint level. Among the Four Great Laws, he had comprehended 60% of the Dharma of Slaughter and the Dharma of Blood, while the Dharma of Heaven and Earth and the Dharma of Soul were stuck at 50%. Next was River Styx's physical body. The Dharma of Soul was indeed powerful. With his physical cultivation alone, River Styx could fight against a peak Quasi-saint.
The deeper one's comprehension of the Dharma of Slaughter and the Dharma of Blood, the stronger the Dharma of Slaughter and the Dharma of Blood were. River Styx's physical body was several times stronger than before. Coupled with the effects of the flames in the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, River Styx was confident that his current physical body was not inferior to Zu Wu's. However, he could sense that this was not the limit of his physical body. It would take him a long time to reach the limit of his physical body transformation.
Of course, besides cultivation, River Styx had also been comprehending his obsession. Although he could not become a Saint with the Dao of the Three Corpses, having one more corpse would still increase his strength. Unfortunately, he could not make any headway after thousands of years, so he could only give up. The Self Corpse of Obsession was the most difficult to sever among the Three Corpses. It required luck to sever the Self Corpse.
