Of course, River Styx was not satisfied with this. Although he had only been on the Battlefield of Gods and Demons for a short period of time, his improvement could not be compared to most of them. It could be said that River Styx was becoming stronger every moment, and after comprehending the Laws of Time, his strength improved even faster.
Although only a million years had passed in the outside world, one must not forget that Minghe had been cultivating in the Twelve Primordial Stars Formation. That was a million years. His Primordial Soul realm had broken through to the later stage of the Creation realm, and the Eternal Demon Body had not only recovered all the power of the later stage of the Creation realm, but had also improved further. It would not be long before he could step into the peak of the Creation realm of the physical body.
Compared to River Styx's rapid improvement, his Three Separations were slightly worse. The Good Corpse Qiankun Taoist had just entered the middle Creation realm. After all, the Qiankun World was now a Vast Thousand World, and every bit of growth was very rare. However, although Qiankun Taoist was only in the middle Creation realm, he was invincible in the middle Creation realm, and could fight against a late Creation realm expert.
The Evil Corpse Red Lotus Taoist's realm improvement was faster than Qiankun Taoist's. He comprehended the Laws of Karma and Slaughter at the same time, and constantly refined his body's Red Lotus of Fire. However, compared to Qiankun Taoist, he had entered the middle Creation realm for a long time. However, in terms of battle strength, he was not as good as Qiankun Taoist. He could only crush most of the experts in the middle Creation realm, and was not enough to fight against a late Creation realm expert.
As for the Self Corpse Mu Sen, his improvement was the fastest. Because he only comprehended the Laws of Martial Way and cultivated the Overlord Body of Martial Way, Mu Sen was now an expert in the late Creation realm, and was considered the strongest of the Three Separations. Now that River Styx had comprehended three Laws, his cultivation speed was naturally much slower. It was likely that Mu Sen had entered the peak of the Creation realm earlier than River Styx.
River Styx did not care about this. After all, Mu Sen was also his Self Corpse, and could never replace him. Moreover, for River Styx, the realm did not represent the strength. Even if River Styx and Mu Sen were both in the late Creation realm, River Styx could still defeat him. Compared to Mu Sen, River Styx's foundation was too deep, and the two could not be compared at all.
Of course, River Styx and the Three Separations did not only cultivate during the thousands of years they spent in the great formation. They also did not stop refining their own magic treasures and comprehending the formation. Although these were external forces, River Styx had not reached the realm where he could completely not rely on external forces. Even someone as strong as Pangu did not have Chaos Supreme Treasures like Pangu's Axe, Jade Butterfly of Creation, and Green Lotus of Creation by his side. Perhaps only the Great Dao did not need to rely on these at all.
This time, in order to refine the magic treasures, River Styx had invested a lot. Most of the refining materials in his collection were used. River Styx even destroyed the Evil Destroying Divine Axe and let the God-Slaying Spear completely devour it. As for the magic treasures he obtained from Hong Jun, other than the half Chaos Supreme Treasure Sword of Destiny, the God-Slaying Spear had also devoured the rest.
With these magic treasures, the God-Slaying Spear did not need any other refining materials at all. It was also continuously upgraded. Now, it was a genuine Supreme Grade Chaos Lingbao. Although the price he paid was a little high, the powerful power that the God-Slaying Spear displayed after its upgrade was also very pleasing to River Styx. Although it was still a Supreme Grade Chaos Lingbao, its power was almost close to the Sword of Destiny.
In addition to River Styx's God-Slaying Spear, the Good Corpse Qiankun Taoist's Cauldron of Heaven and Earth and the Ruler of Heaven and Earth, the Evil Corpse Red Lotus Taoist's Yuantu and Avici, the Thirty-sixth Grade Red Lotus of Fire, and the Self Corpse Mu Sen's Kongtong Seal had all been upgraded to the Upper Grade Chaos Lingbao. As for the Qiankun Taoist's Tao Wheel of Heaven and Earth, this magic treasure was a little special. It had just been upgraded to the Middle Grade Chaos Lingbao.
As for the comprehension of the formation, although Mu Sen had comprehended the True Martial Origin Formation to a new level and was able to exert the power of a Half-step Infinite Realm, the requirement of setting up the formation was a little difficult for him. In addition to him, who was in charge of the formation, at least 12 martial arts experts in the Early-stage of the Fate Realm were needed. As for the others, River Styx's Blood God Doppelganger and Blood God's Doppelganger were enough.
But the problem was, where could he find 12 martial arts experts in the Early-stage of the Fate Realm? River Styx's Blood God Doppelganger was at most in the Half-step Fate Realm, which did not meet the requirement at all. Although River Styx knew how to refine Blood God Puppets and could refine experts in the Early-stage of the Fate Realm into Blood God Puppets, where could he find 12 martial arts experts in the Early-stage of the Fate Realm to refine them?
Without these 12 martial arts experts in the Fate Realm to set up the formation, Mu Sen's True Martial Origin Formation could only exert the power of the peak of the Fate Realm. Although such a formation was already very powerful, and there were not many in the middle of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons, Mu Sen was unwilling to give up. Unfortunately, even River Styx could not come up with a good solution at the moment, so he could only do so for the time being.
Compared to Mu Sen, the Evil Corpse Red Lotus Taoist's self-created sword formation was very pleasing. It was called the Karma Killing Sword Formation, which was a powerful sword formation set up by combining the Karma Sword Yuan Tu and the Killing Sword Avici with his Red Lotus of Hellfire. Even though Red Lotus Taoist's cultivation was only in the Middle-stage of the Fate Realm, he could exert the power of a Half-step to the Infinite Realm. If Red Lotus Taoist's strength improved further, or if Yuan Tu, Avici, and the Red Lotus of Hellfire reached a higher level, the power of the sword formation would naturally be greatly improved.
This was also something that River Styx was very gratified. As for the Good Corpse Qiankun Taoist, he had made some progress in understanding the Zhouxing Formation. The formation could already exert the power of a peak Fate Realm expert, and even a Half-step to the Infinite Realm expert would not be able to return if there were only one or two of them in the formation. However, if he wanted to achieve the level of suppressing a Half-step to the Infinite Realm expert, he still needed a lot of time to improve the formation.
However, the problem was that the power of the Zhouxing Formation could only be exerted to the extreme in the World of Heaven and Earth. If it was on the Battlefield of Gods and Demons, Qiankun Taoist could only rely on the Zhouxing Banner to set up the formation, the power of the formation would be extremely limited because he had no one. If he wanted to rely on the Blood God Doppelganger and the Blood God's Son to set up the formation, the power of the formation would naturally be extremely limited.
The formation had been improved, but there was no one to set it up, which gave River Styx a headache. Although the Veritable Martial Origin Formation only needed 12 experts in the Fate Realm, they were all people who practiced martial arts. The conditions were so harsh that even if it was difficult to complete, it was hard to say whether they could gather enough people even in the Central Region. After all, until now, River Styx had not seen any experts who practiced martial arts.
The requirements of the Zhouxing Formation were even more ridiculous. The 365 Star Banners in the formation needed 365 experts in the Fate Realm to preside over them. Even if River Styx and the Three Separations entered the formation together, they still needed at least 361 experts in the Fate Realm. Where could River Styx find so many people? What was more, in this case, River Styx could not guarantee that these people would completely obey their orders.
However, compared to the Veritable Martial Origin Formation, the Zhouxing Formation was much more profitable. The people who preside over the 365 Star Banners only needed to be in the Fate Realm. River Styx could capture 365 experts in the Fate Realm and then refine them into Puppets of the Blood God. In this way, he would have enough people to set up the formation.
However, in the Central Region, most of the experts in the Fate Realm had connections, and there were too few itinerant cultivators. Therefore, if River Styx wanted to gather enough people to set up the formation, he obviously could not only find itinerant cultivators in the Fate Realm. However, if he wanted to take action against those experts in the Fate Realm who had connections, he had to do it flawlessly. River Styx did not want to get into trouble instead of getting into trouble.
Compared to the last trip, River Styx's power had undergone a tremendous change. Although he still had a surplus of various resources, River Styx was not the kind of person who would sit around and eat. He had already been to the Endless Star Region and plundered a lot of resources there. Moreover, he had also completed many missions related to the Endless Star Region in the Mission Hall. He was afraid that he would not gain much if he went there again.
Moreover, because of Hong Jun, so many experts in the Endless Star Region had died, and many of them were involved with many forces in the Central Region. If he went there now, it would not be good if he caused any unnecessary trouble. Although River Styx was not afraid of trouble with his current strength, it would be a waste of his time.
Since he could not go to the Endless Star Region, River Styx set his eyes on the remaining three Forbidden Lands. Although there were countless opportunities in the Endless Star Region, only the four Forbidden Lands were known to be ownerless. The rest were either undiscovered or occupied by various forces. Therefore, River Styx could only pay attention to the remaining three Forbidden Lands.
After returning from the Endless Star Region this time, River Styx went to the library to read carefully and recorded all the secrets of the Central Region in his mind, lest he encountered a situation like the Origin Star Tree again. The four Forbidden Lands had existed in the Battlefield of Gods and Demons for a long time, and many of them had been figured out. However, there were still mysteries in them.
Just take the Bone Burial Grounds for example. According to legend, this place was formed from a fragment of the battlefield between the Fiendgods and Gods during the ancient times. Moreover, the Bone Burial Grounds would change every single time an era passed, and most of the places within it would become different. So, up until now, most of the secrets within the Bone Burial Grounds were still unknown to the world.
Moreover, the Land of Bones only opened once every 100 million years, and it would be at least nine million years before the next opening. However, River Styx was very interested in its next opening, because according to the records, it was possible to obtain many treasures such as the Supreme Treasure of Chaos, Dao Inscriptions similar to "Martial", and so on. This made River Styx very excited.
Since he could not go to the Land of Bones for the time being, River Styx could only target the Underworld Blood Sea and the Demon's Realm. These two places each had their own merits, and River Styx had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the Underworld Blood Sea. Logically speaking, River Styx should go to the Underworld Blood Sea first, but after thinking about it again and again, River Styx gave up the idea of going to the Underworld Blood Sea.
