The initial will of the Styx River did not hold dominance. After countless fusions, the newly born life form was named the Blood Path Styx, and it continuously killed itself, giving birth to another Blood Path Styx with entirely new emotions on its body.
Only by abandoning the self and embracing all sentient beings could the Blood Path Styx achieve the Half-step Great Dao realm in the Primordial World and cultivate to the peak of the Great Awakening True Immortal after ascending to the upper realm.
This was where the Blood Path Styx surpassed Taishang Tianzun.
And it was also the reason why Taishang Tianzun was not qualified to be Fang Ming's opponent, while the Blood Path Styx was.
However, the Blood Path Styx's method of containing all sentient beings was not invincible. It had now encountered its nemesis—Xuan Kong Qi.
The Primal Beginning Yuan Ling had experienced myriad tribulations as an ancient sage. Although his strength was below Jin Bifeng's, his cultivation years surpassed Jin Bifeng's. The Xuan Kong Qi lineage he passed down could naturally break through life forms like the Blood Path Styx.
Under the Xuan Kong Qi, the Blood Path Styx was hindered at every step.
Countless blood god sons were reverted, the will of the Blood Path Styx was continuously torn apart, its emotional memories were ripped open, and it transformed back into sentient beings.
The Blood Path Styx could only forcefully use its killing moves with the Yuan Tu and Abi swords.
"I'll risk it all!"
Yuan Tu and Abi were originally the Styx River's signature treasures in the Primordial World.
Now, after hundreds of chaotic epochs of refinement, they far surpassed peak-grade Chaos Supreme Treasures. Although they could not be called "Dao Artifacts," they could be called "Half-Dao Artifacts."
As the two swords struck, boundless killing intent resonated with the myriad great universes. Numerous sword-killing moves were unleashed, even annihilating the Great Dao.
The Styx River's eyes were filled with blood. Blood-colored divine light illuminated all heavens. In just a few sword moves, billions of moves, infinite moves were unleashed. The destruction of the Great Thousand Worlds into dust was insufficient to describe the changes!
The Dao of Change was already infinite, beyond calculation!
The Blood Path Styx was originally a monster formed by the combined will of all sentient beings. When it unleashed its sword moves, it was as if all living beings in the Primordial World, and even countless Great Thousand Worlds, were unleashing sword moves together.
The changes naturally reached infinity!
Fang Ming used Xuan Ling Qi, the unorthodox path, to evade the Blood Sea's attacks.
The Blood Sea, and the act of slaughter and containment, were both unorthodox paths. Naturally, using Xuan Ling Qi was the best.
Then, using Xuan Kong Qi, he tore apart the Styx River's will.
Finally, using Xuan Qing Qi, he sought to purify the Styx River, this monster!
"Immortal Slaying Sword Qi!"
Fang Ming unleashed the Immortal Slaying Sword Dao with supreme magical power.
A long sword materialized from the void and condensed in Fang Ming's hand.
Fang Ming, in his white robes with tight sleeves, held the long sword, his youthful spirit brimming.
The Immortal Slaying Sword was inherently suited for the young, especially for a young boy like Fang Ming.
His gaze was clear, yet it concealed the unruliness of a boy. His slanted, sharp eyebrows made the youth appear cold and aloof, yet also imposing.
He exuded a dominance that scorned the heavens.
The long sword in his hand was named the Immortal Slaying Sword, filled with the fundamental laws of Metal element, and transformed from the Xuan Qing Qi lineage.
This was the combination of the Great Awakening Dao, the Five Elements Dao, and Xuan Qing Qi.
Fang Ming perfectly integrated two different subsequent branches of the Primordial cultivation system and wielded this sword with the magical power of an Immortal King, a supreme giant.
The Immortal Slaying Sword represented righteousness.
It countered evil.
It represented the orthodox path.
It countered unorthodox paths!
The Blood Path Styx, by containing the will of all sentient beings, was considered evil, a demonic method.
Demonic paths were not Daoist paths, hence they were defined as unorthodox paths.
The Blood Path Styx could, in an instant, in a few sword moves, evolve billions of changes, infinite changes, with no two changes repeating.
This represented the extreme of "change."
The Immortal Slaying Sword represented "termination."
It terminated all change, terminated change itself.
No matter how many changes, even if infinite, they were inferior to termination.
The Blood Path Styx, in millions of great universes, spread throughout countless parallel universes within the great universes, countless dimensional spaces, and countless past and future timelines, was covered by this concept of termination.
Every moment, trillions, countless as grains of sand, even infinite, figures of the Blood Path Styx were annihilated by the Immortal Slaying Sword.
And every moment, there would be figures of the Blood Path Styx reborn from the past, reborn from the future, reborn from higher and lower dimensions, reborn from countless parallel universes.
But the Immortal Slaying Sword always locked onto the timeline and worldline, extending the concept of termination towards the Blood Path Styx.
The concept of termination, Fang Ming had only one move.
Only one change.
Repeatedly using it, he had the Blood Path Styx in a frantic state, full of openings.
He had left the Blood Path Styx with no way out!
At the source of time and space, in the battlefield of the Great Awakening Immortals, Fang Ming's performance was so dazzling that it drew attention. At this moment, some Great Awakening Immortals, during their battles, also moved a sliver of their divine sense to observe the battle between Fang Ming and the Blood Path Styx.
"The Blood Path Styx, although it is a fusion of the will of all sentient beings, representing all sentient beings, and the infinite beings of countless time-spaces, its changes in moves have reached true infinity."
"Each change is the culmination of the wisdom of all sentient beings, refined to the extreme, containing countless principles."
"But it is ultimately inferior to Fang Ming's termination."
"No change can escape the word 'termination'."
"Fang Ming has won this battle."
From the perspective of some Great Awakening Immortals.
They only saw.
The youth with soaring ambition, his chivalrous spirit traversing the sky, using the Immortal Slaying Sword in his hand to pierce through the Blood Path Styx, this monster that looked ugly, evil, and filled with infinite malice.
It was like the confrontation between a protagonist and a dark force.
Justice against evil, light against darkness.
Although the enemy was powerful, under the boy's burning passion and his battle, he achieved ultimate victory.
It was like dawn breaking through darkness.
This was the moment of dawn.
And the moment the villain was annihilated.
The Styx River had fallen.
The Blood Path Styx had fallen.
[Name: Blood Path Styx]
[Cultivation: Peak Great Awakening True Immortal (two origin worlds within)]
[Treasures: Half-Dao Artifact Yuan Tu, Abi, Half-Dao Artifact Seventy-two-grade Blood Lotus]
"Half-Dao Artifacts..."
Fang Ming collected the Yuan Tu and Abi swords, along with the Seventy-two-grade Blood Lotus.
Due to the Primordial system, after reaching the Great Dao Saint realm, there were many branches based on the ancient sages.
The cultivation system was like this.
The grade of magical treasures was also like this.
The so-called Half-Dao Artifact was the classification method for magical treasures by the Five Elements Heavenly Palace.
Above peak-grade Chaos Supreme Treasures were Half-Dao Artifacts, generally possessed by Great Awakening True Immortals.
And Great Awakening Golden Immortals, such as Lishan Laomu's Chaos Chessboard, or Wang Chan Laozu's God-Beating Whip, were true Dao Artifacts.
Among Dao Artifacts, there were also categories like Art Dao Artifacts, Origin Dao Artifacts, and Weight Dao Artifacts. It was said that each of the four Immortal Slaying Swords wielded by Jin Bifeng, the leader of the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, was of the Weight Dao Artifact level.
This was his personal classification.
The classification of the ancient sage Lu Ya Daojun was not like this.
In Lu Ya Daojun's classification, above peak-grade Chaos Supreme Treasures were Great Dao Supreme Treasures.
