Chapter 152 Occupying Black Water, Styx Intervenes

As one of the Three Great Daos, Water Great Dao is the foundation of the world, the source of the flow and circulation. It is extremely grand, and it also produces the five virtues:
The first is to have virtue, which flows constantly and spreads to all things; the second is to have righteousness, which takes shape regardless of the direction, whether it is square or long; the third is to have the Tao, which is vast and endless and flows downward; the fourth is to have courage, which allows one to cross mountains and plateaus without fear of the distance; the fifth is to have law, which allows one to be calm and level without distinction of high or low.

In addition to these five virtues, because the way of heaven is divided into yin and yang, movement and stillness, and the world has clarity, turbidity, good and evil, water also has five evils:

Going against the current will cause cold, freezing all things; flooding will overflow, annihilating all life; the opposite of Tao is Yin, the source of darkness; a drop of water will fall constantly, destroying everything; water has no form, which can confuse people’s minds.

The Black Water Abyss, located deep in the netherworld, is the concentrated embodiment of the five evils of water. Its power is far beyond people’s imagination!
Gonggong had never occupied the position of Shuiyuan Emperor before, and only had the body of the innate water god. How could he dare to seize the position of Black Emperor?

The reason for this is that the Witch Clan occupied the Black Water Abyss and, with the help of the five evils of water, Gonggong and others possessed many negative forces of the Water Element Avenue, which gave them the foundation to impact the position of the Black Emperor.

At this moment, since Qi Yu has already spread his power to the earth, the first thing he wants to seize is naturally the power of the origin of the Black Water. Through this, he can not only completely overthrow Gonggong’s Black Emperor foundation, but also make a step forward in his own path. It is definitely a win-win situation.

With this idea in mind, Qi Yu took action immediately. The boundless mysterious light around him illuminated the ten directions of heaven and earth, destroying all the evil spirits. The vast divine power surged out, using a bit of reincarnation authority as a medium to connect to the entire black water abyss, and was about to occupy its origin to perfect his own Tao fruit.

Following Qi Yu’s actions, the authority of reincarnation that was taken from Yue Jian’s hands was pushed to the extreme at this moment, and for the first time it bloomed with its due brilliance.

For a moment, the entire Black Water Abyss, along with the foundations of the entire Netherworld, were shaking. In response to Qi Yu’s call, the boundless power of Xuanming surged up and poured into the status of Emperor Xishen. At the same time, it was also baptizing Qi Yu’s Heavenly Venerable Body, causing his cultivation, which had just broken through, to see new growth!
Such a vision was so grand that it could not be hidden from Hou Tu, who ruled the earth, and Gong Gong, who had been trying to turn the Black Water Abyss into the foundation of his own great way.

The former is okay. Although the Black Water Abyss is also important and of great significance, it does not touch the core of the underworld after all. Compared with the foundation of the Earth Emperor’s Avenue such as Reincarnation, it is just a protective layer of the earth.

Therefore, even though Hou Tu was shocked and angry at this moment, she was more shocked and angry that Qi Yu had unexpectedly seized the power of the underworld and could directly touch the core of reincarnation, and she was completely unaware of such hidden dangers before.

It was the latter, Gonggong, who was really going crazy at this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, and the anger in his heart had obviously expanded to an extreme!
You know, the Black Water Abyss has always been regarded by Gonggong as the foundation for his own enlightenment to become the Black Emperor. Now, Qi Yu has seized the original power of the Black Water, which, in the eyes of the former, has even exceeded the ordinary hatred that blocks his path to enlightenment. This is going to completely cut off his path to enlightenment!
However, with Fuxi’s full efforts, the four great witch ancestors were almost completely entangled. Even though they had used all their means, they were unable to break through the suppression of an ancient Green Emperor.

It is interesting to say that the reason why Fuxi could easily defeat four enemies alone at this moment was precisely because of Gonggong——

The Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan are not only powerful themselves, but are also good at combined attacks. For example, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, the five elements of time and space, or the four directions and four seasons combined can all produce supreme Taoist fruits, which will double the strength of the ancestral witches participating in the combined attack.

But at this moment, the four great ancestor witches who were suppressed by Fuxi happened to be Gonggong, Zhurong, Jumang and Rushou. Houtu was missing from the five elements, and the four directions and four seasons were missing Xuanming who should have replaced Gonggong.

This made things a little awkward. The combined attack method that could only be complete if one of the corners was missing was naturally full of flaws in Fuxi’s eyes. This forced the four great ancestor witches to fight on their own, and for a while they had no advantages at all. For example, the offensives of Gonggong and Zhurong could have offset each other, so they were naturally suppressed throughout the whole process.

For a while, Gonggong could only rage helplessly on the battlefield in Zhongzhou, but he had no way of breaking through the blockade and returning to the Netherworld for help. His heart was suddenly shrouded in a layer of gloom.

Qi Yu naturally saw this very clearly. Although he was concentrating on refining the origin of the Black Water Abyss, it did not mean that he had no time to pay attention to the outside world. On the contrary, from beginning to end, he always had some spare energy. On the one hand, he was observing the situation on the battlefield in Zhongzhou, and on the other hand, he was always keeping an eye on the movements of the Shuiyuan Taoist Palace.

Seeing that Nuwa had completely restrained Houtu, and Fuxi still had the upper hand over the four great ancestor witches, Wangshu and Queen Mother of the West had each stopped the two ancient gods in the Earth Emperor Palace, Qi Yu nodded slightly in his heart.

The two allies, Queen Mother of the West and Fengqishan, worked so hard this time that Qi Yu felt that he had a good vision and that the allies he selected were very suitable. Wangshu’s performance made Qi Yu nod his head and feel that it was quite remarkable.

However, perhaps because things can’t always go smoothly, there are always variables under the laws of nature, and soon, a small accident occurred –

It was not the situation on the battlefield in Zhongzhou that changed, but the Lord of the Styx, who, seeing that there was little hope of conquering the Wheel of Reincarnation and ruling the underworld, actually withdrew and immediately rushed towards the Black Water Abyss!

Obviously, the Lord of the Underworld was determined to take advantage of the situation. Since he couldn’t seize the foundation of the Netherworld, he would swallow up the Black Water to expand the power of the Sea of ​​Blood. Qi Yu was obviously not happy to see this. Rather than sharing power with the Lord of the Underworld, he preferred to monopolize the Black Water Abyss.

Unfortunately, this time, Qi Yu would not be able to get what he wanted completely. The strength of the Lord of the Styx was even stronger than Qi Yu had expected. In a hurry, the two had a brief confrontation. Qi Yu realized that this usually silent ancestor of the Styx was actually a terrifying strong man close to the late quasi-saint stage, and was not much weaker than Hou Tu, Nuwa and others!

No wonder he could build such a huge foundation in the sea of ​​blood. With this strength, he is indeed qualified.

Little did he know that at this moment, Taoist Master Minghe was even more surprised than Qi Yu. You know, he had been roaming the sea of ​​blood for many years, but he had already been promoted to the realm of Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate, and his Taoism was so profound that he was even able to dominate the world!

And now, above the Black Water Abyss, he can even draw on the power of the origin of the sea of ​​blood. It is said that the sea of ​​blood will never dry up and the river of Hades will never die. His fighting power will be even higher!

Under such circumstances, he fought with Qi Yu, a new quasi-saint who had obviously just broken through, and actually suffered a slight loss. This made the former suddenly shocked and unwilling to provoke a strong enemy again. Instead, he kept his distance from Qi Yu.

Of course, even if he went around Qi Yu, Lord Minghe would still definitely snatch the black water’s original power. At most, he would not compete with Qi Yu head-on.

As expected, not long after, Qi Yu witnessed the methods of this old ancestor of the Styx. He didn’t know how long he had been planning, but he didn’t know when he had drilled nine small holes in the barrier between the sea of ​​blood and the black water abyss. At this moment, with the help of the characteristics of the Blue Sky and Yellow Springs, the Taoist Lord of the Styx actually transformed the nine holes into nine springs.

The Nine Springs are one, together with the sea of ​​blood, which forms a great trend. The mighty power of the Styx runs through the Yellow Springs and the Underworld, and naturally occupies a part of the black water foundation. Even if Qi Yu is dissatisfied in his heart, he has to watch a part of the black water origin being divided by the Styx.

This made Qi Yu speechless, but he was helpless and could only accept it for the time being.

In fact, there is no way to deny it. Even though Qi Yu arrived first and with all his means, he was almost going to become the real lord of the Black Water Abyss and condense the status of a Mysterious Black Water Emperor, but to the Earth Realm, he was ultimately an outsider and this place was not as welcoming to him as the Milky Way.

If he was like Hou Tu and Gong Gong, who already controlled a part of the underworld origin of the earth, then naturally he would only need to drive away the Lord of the Underworld, and he would have his own way to resolve the remaining situation of the Nine Springs.

Unfortunately, his identity is similar to that of the Lord of the Underworld, both are just invaders, not the masters of the land, so he can only suffer this loss first and find a chance to settle accounts in the future.

Of course, even so, Qi Yu had gained a great advantage this time. Nearly 70% of the black water origin was swallowed up by him, and the dominant authority over the water transportation of the earth was already in his hands. An important part of the prehistoric water transportation was also supplemented in his hands, and the natural Tao fruit was also further supplemented, becoming more perfect because of the power of the black water origin.

At this moment, Qi Yu truly saw that the Black Emperor’s position was waving at him. Perhaps it would not be long before he would be able to truly become the Black Emperor and fulfill a long-cherished wish since ancient times.

However, Qi Yu finally came to his senses and realized that now that he was in the underworld, it was not the time to be complacent. Besides, there was still a part of the agreement between him and Nuwa that had not been fulfilled!
Seeing that the situation on the side of the Taoist Lord of the Styx was already determined, with more than 10% of the power of the Black Water Origin being occupied by him, Qi Yu sighed slightly and finally chose to let him go.

He relaxed his hands and did not forcibly suppress the power of the sea of ​​blood with his own divine power. The power of the sea of ​​blood flowing in the Nine Springs suddenly became smoother. Don’t underestimate a tiny change. Once this trend is formed, the power of the sea of ​​blood can further invade the foundation of the underworld along the Yellow Springs. This is considered a nail that Qi Yu has planted for Hou Tu.

This is also because the opening up of the Nine Springs by the Lord of the Styx is indeed beneficial to the great cycle of water in the ancient world, which is why Qi Yu did this. Otherwise, even if it was a useless effort, Qi Yu would definitely teach the former a lesson first, and how could he help the Styx!
After doing all this, Qi Yu did not stay in the Black Water Abyss for long. Although he had conquered this territory, he needed other means to completely occupy it! In this regard, Qi Yu planned to deal with it after this battle.

At present, the most important thing is still the Zhongzhou battlefield. At this moment, Qi Yu is heading towards the battlefield in order to fulfill the last part of his promise to Nuwa!
