Chapter 2 Cuckoo in the Nest
The vast and boundless land of the primordial world is such that even if an ordinary creature spends its entire life there, it may not be able to leave even a small part of it.
Although the Northern Sea and the Netherworld Blood Sea are located at opposite ends of the northern wilderness, they are only a moment apart under the speed of the Kunpeng.
Soon, an intense, overwhelming stench of blood and a terrifying aura swept over us.
The Kunpeng paused, descended from the clouds above the heavens, revealing its true form as a Taoist, and looked down with a solemn gaze.
A boundless, blood-red ocean stretched across the land, its surface churning with crimson waves and bubbling as if countless wronged souls were struggling and roaring within it.
The sky was bathed in an eerie dark red light, and the air was thick with a nauseating stench and a deep-seated resentment.
This place is the Netherworld Blood Sea.
It was formed from a pool of filthy blood from the navel of the great god Pangu after he created the world. It contains boundless karma and evil energy, and is one of the most filthy and dangerous forbidden places in the primordial world.
"What a formidable place!" Upon seeing this, Kunpeng showed no fear, but rather a hint of admiration.
The more treacherous the place, the more powerful the innate deities and spiritual treasures it nurtures.
He could clearly sense that an invisible innate restriction shrouded the surface of this sea of blood.
This restriction is connected to the entire Blood Sea, attracting boundless evil energy and karma. Even an ordinary Golden Immortal would be entangled by karma and turned into a pool of blood if he is not careful, and would never be able to recover.
Unfortunately, although this restriction is strong, it is ultimately an unowned object, operating entirely on instinct.
Before Kunpeng, a genuine Grand Luo Golden Immortal, he was nothing but a figurehead.
"A mere restriction, how can it stop me?"
Kunpeng snorted coldly, his body swirling with Daoist energy, and he unleashed the full pressure of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
He did not choose to forcefully break the spell, but simply extended a finger and gently touched the sea of blood below.
At his fingertips, the laws of wind and water intertwined and transformed into a profound Dao pattern, silently imprinting itself onto the innate restriction.
In an instant, the originally raging sea of blood parted itself, creating a portal.
With one step, Kunpeng disappeared into the sea of blood.
Within the sea of blood, a completely different scene unfolds.
The surrounding area was filled with viscous blood, the malevolent energy and karmic force contained within it enough to instantly corrode any living being below the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
However, the Kunpeng is protected by a layer of mysterious light, making it impervious to all magic.
His divine sense spread out, instantly enveloping the entire sea of blood.
Soon, he found his target in the deepest part of the sea of blood.
It was a strange space separate from the Blood Sea, seemingly the origin and core of the entire Blood Sea.
In the center of the space, a blood-red placenta, about ten feet in size, floated quietly, pulsating rhythmically, each pulsation causing the entire sea of blood to resonate in unison.
Within this placenta, a faint light flickered.
Clearly, this is the Styx Ancestor who has not yet taken human form.
Around the placenta, three radiant treasures floated and swirled, emanating a chilling aura.
On the left and right were two swords exuding murderous intent, their blades covered with intricate Dao patterns.
Just one glance was enough to make one feel as if the cries of millions of living beings were ringing in one's ears, and even one's primordial spirit trembled.
It was none other than the supreme innate spiritual treasures, the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords!
These twin swords are untouched by karma, and their killing power is unparalleled.
Beneath the placenta was a twelve-tiered red lotus platform.
On the lotus platform, karmic fire raged, sizzling and burning the surrounding blood.
This lotus platform not only has amazing defensive capabilities, but it can also attract karmic fire to burn enemies, making it extremely vicious.
It is the same supreme innate spiritual treasure as the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit of the Western Religion – the Twelve-Petaled Red Lotus of Karmic Fire!
"It's here after all!"
Upon seeing these three treasures, Kunpeng's breathing quickened, and the greed in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
"What a treasure! It's truly a treasure! Yuan Tu Abi kills without incurring any karma, and the Karmic Fire Red Lotus offers unparalleled defense and can suppress one's destiny."
"Oh Styx, what virtue or ability do you possess to monopolize so much of the creation of heaven and earth!"
Kunpeng turned its gaze to the huge blood-red placenta, and could clearly sense that the life nurtured within it was sleeping.
That was an extremely powerful primordial force, no weaker than his, both belonging to innate deities.
"It's all because you were born at the wrong time. Since I, Kunpeng, seized the opportunity, your fortune, your spiritual treasures, and even your very essence belong to me!"
Before he finished speaking, Kunpeng's body surged with mysterious light.
"roar--!"
A deafening roar resounded from the depths of the sea of blood.
Suddenly, the Kunpeng's body expanded, transforming into the gigantic Kun, which was thousands of miles in size.
The giant Kun opened its enormous maw, large enough to devour the heavens and the earth, and an irresistible law of devouring erupted instantly!
"swallow!"
In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color, and the sea of blood surged back.
That primordial space, along with the unformed River Styx within it and the three protective treasures, were swallowed whole by the giant maw and vanished without a trace.
After doing all this, Kunpeng transformed back into the appearance of a Taoist, sat cross-legged in the depths of the sea of blood, closed his eyes, and began to fully refine the harvest in his belly.
------
Cultivation knows no time, and the primordial chaos does not keep track of years.
Just as Kunpeng was in seclusion refining the Styx River, the struggle between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races on the primordial land had reached its climax.
War raged across every corner of the wilderness, causing countless deaths and shattering the land.
Endless malevolent energy and resentment soared into the sky, eventually converging into the Netherworld Blood Sea, becoming nourishment for the Kunpeng.
Spring goes and autumn comes, the world changes.
It is unknown how many cycles have passed, but the sounds of battle outside have gradually subsided, and the extremely tragic Dragon-Han First Calamity seems to be nearing its end.
On this day, the figure sitting cross-legged deep within the sea of blood finally slowly opened its eyes.
"Buzz—"
An extremely profound fluctuation, centered on the sea of blood, instantly spread throughout the entire northern wilderness.
The once calm sea of blood suddenly boiled, and the waters of billions of miles surged back and forth, forming a huge whirlpool that poured into a certain place on the seabed.
At the center of the vortex, a figure slowly rose.
It is indeed the Kunpeng.
At this moment, although his appearance remained unchanged, his overall demeanor had undergone a dramatic transformation.
The original pure, cold, and profound atmosphere now carries a chilling aura of bloodshed and slaughter.
He wore a Taoist robe interwoven with dark red and cyan, his long hair was loose, and his eyes, when they opened and closed, were like the deep Northern Darkness in the left eye and like a raging sea of blood in the right eye, as if they contained the supreme true meaning of the Great Dao.
"Hahaha... My path has been completed!"
A long laugh shook the entire sea of blood, causing towering waves to surge.
Kunpeng felt the vast and boundless magical power within his body, as well as the several crystal-clear laws of the Great Dao, and his face revealed a look of wild joy.
His gains from devouring the Styx River were beyond imagination!
After tens of thousands of years of secluded cultivation and refinement, he had completely devoured the essence of the Styx River and transformed it into his own resources.
He was born with the power to control the three great laws of wind, water, and devouring. Now that he has swallowed the River Styx, it is only natural that he will also integrate the great laws of blood and slaughter into himself.
One person possesses five Great Dao Laws, all of which are top-tier laws in the primordial world!
This makes his foundation more than twice as deep as before.
More importantly, as he refined the source of the Styx River and usurped the throne to become the master of the Blood Sea, an unimaginable amount of fortune was bestowed upon him.
This aura carries a hint of ancient and desolate energy.
That was the legacy of the great god Pangu!
"The Blood Sea was formed from the filthy blood of Pangu's navel. Since I have refined the origin of the Blood Sea, I naturally bear this cause and effect."
A sharp light flashed in Kunpeng's eyes, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter, his voice shaking the heavens.
"Hahaha! The Three Pure Ones claim to be the true descendants of Pangu, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches are said to be transformed from the essence and blood of Pangu."
Now I, Kunpeng, wield the Blood Sea and enjoy the blessings of Pangu. I look upon this primordial world, and who dares to say that I was born from a wet egg, a being of meager fortune and shallow destiny?!
"I guess I'm half a true descendant of Pangu now!"
This is not an exaggeration; in the primordial world, one's origins and birth determined one's potential.
With this identity as a descendant of Pangu, he would have a true justification for traveling through the prehistoric world!
Upon realizing this, Kunpeng felt great, as if all the pent-up emotions in his heart had been dispelled and his Daoist mind had become clear.
