Chapter 496: The Styx Ancestor
After putting away the Nine Demons Tower, Cao Xiaochun was about to rush to the Destruction Thunder Pool when the purple jade gourd moved inexplicably.
This feeling was extremely strange, as if something inside was longing for something. He took out the purple jade gourd in confusion, and saw an ancient clock emerging and trembling constantly.
Seeing this, Cao Xiaochun couldn't help but feel a little surprised. This stone clock was something he had obtained a long time ago. When he was in Daying, Cao Ying had tried to repair it, but no matter what he did, the clock never moved. Unexpectedly, it came out on its own today.
Thinking of this, Cao Xiaochun injected a trace of divine power into the stone clock, but it was like a drop in the ocean, and it didn't move at all. This made him even more confused.
Before Cao Xiaochun thought about it, he saw the stone clock quickly moving forward. Seeing this, Cao Xiaochun hurriedly chased forward, but soon, the clock stopped at a crater.
Unlike the surrounding volcanoes, this volcano here looks very short, with hot magma flowing inside. Because of the fight just now, the nearby volcanoes have completely come alive, erupting lava from time to time, but here, it seems very calm.
The clock circled around the crater and fell directly into the lava. Cao Xiaochun frowned when he saw this. After thinking for a moment, he called out the Earth Book and chased after it.
When it came into contact with the magma, the Earth Book raised a yellow barrier, surrounding Cao Xiaochun and blocking the magma outside.
Following the direction of the stone clock, Cao Xiaochun quickly swept down to the depths of the volcano. The deeper he went, the greater the pressure. The surrounding magma was even filled with a faint divine power!
Suddenly, a red scale like a boulder appeared in front of Cao Xiaochun
Cao Xiaochun used his divine sense to investigate and found that a red giant python as big as Mount Tai was entrenched in the magma, seemingly sleeping.
At the bottom of the giant python, a red fire lotus was sitting in the belly of the giant python. The lotus pedestal was slowly rotating, with a blood-red skeleton sitting in the center. In front of the skeleton were two swords and a red gourd.
The stone bell kept approaching the lotus pedestal. Two fragments emerged from the center of the lotus pedestal and quickly merged into the stone bell. The original crack was instantly repaired.
"The lotus and sword gourd next to the skeleton are actually spiritual treasures?"
Seeing the lotus pedestal under the giant snake and the other three treasures, Cao Xiaochun was excited. Unexpectedly, there were four innate spiritual treasures hidden under the magma!
This is a big profit!
Each innate spiritual treasure has its own unique abilities, and the terrifying flames reflected around the red lotus pedestal are the same as Di Hanxi's red lotus fire. Could it be that thing is the legendary fire red lotus?
Thinking of this, Cao Xiaochun couldn't help but grin and quickly stepped forward, ready to take these spiritual treasures into his pocket!
Just when Cao Xiaochun was less than one meter away from the skeleton, a dazzling red light burst out from the skeleton. This horrific change startled Cao Xiaochun. The World-Destroying Black Lotus and the Nine Demon Tower appeared instantly, and the God-Slaying Spear and the Tai Chi Diagram also appeared in his hands.
When he was about to retreat to investigate the situation, Cao Xiaochun was shocked to find that countless smelly blood surged around him, surrounding him, forming a unique space, and he was trapped in it.
This scene made Cao Xiaochun frown. When he was thinking about how to break this bloody space, a red light appeared and turned into an illusory old figure.
The figure was dressed in a red robe. Although his face was old, his temperament was very domineering. As soon as the figure appeared, Cao Xiaochun felt a terrifying sense of oppression.
The blood-colored divine power reflected in the surroundings faintly reached the level of the God Emperor!
"Luo Hou?"
"No, this is his inheritance. I didn't expect that someone would inherit this?"
"But what the hell is this opportunity?"
"It has a way of cultivation that I have never seen before."
"The Tai Chi diagram, the Nine Demon Tower, the God-killing Spear, and this broken Hun..."
Speaking of this, the illusory figure seemed to be stunned and immediately cursed.
"The way of heaven is unfair! The way of the Tao is unfair. What the hell is this? This is your father!"
The figure seemed a little angry and his voice seemed full of grievances!
Hearing this, Cao Xiaochun became more alert. He naturally knew that this was just a soul body, but the other party could see all his details at a glance.
"I didn't know that the senior was here. If I offended you, please forgive me."
Cao Xiaochun thought about it and said very politely.
This old thing only has a soul body left, and he has the cultivation level of the God Emperor. It is not a good idea for me to confront him rashly.
In order to prevent the figure from suddenly attacking or even taking over the body and rebirth, Cao Xiaochun quietly raised his strength, and even prepared for the Spring and Autumn Cicada.
The figure looked at Cao Xiaochun for a long time without saying anything, but carefully looked at Cao Xiaochun, and then looked at the surrounding environment, and couldn't help grinning.
"Little brother, do you like this twelfth-grade karma fire red lotus and the nine-nine scattered soul gourd?"
The old man's expression seemed extremely enthusiastic, protecting a small vendor doing business, and enthusiastically promoting his own items.
Hearing the old man's words, Cao Xiaochun's face paused, and he didn't understand what this man meant.
Who doesn't like the innate spiritual treasure? Something that can greatly enhance one's strength. If he was not sure that he could beat this soul body, he would have directly robbed it!
"Senior, you are joking. Who doesn't like the innate spiritual treasure?"
Cao Xiaochun did not choose to lie because of the old man's naked question. If he likes it, he likes it. If he is too hypocritical, it is hypocrisy.
"Yes, I like people like you who speak quickly. It's boring to be roundabout in everything."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. You have the Nine Demons Tower to protect you. Not to mention that I am only a trace of the mark of the remaining soul now, even if I am at the peak of my strength and can kill you, it is impossible to take over your body. Luo Hou's treasure of proof of the Tao is not that simple."
Seeing that Cao Xiaochun was a little nervous, the figure saw what he was thinking at a glance and said it directly.
Hearing the old man's words, Cao Xiaochun didn't have any thoughts. He must be on guard against others. Even if he was exposed by him, this is what he should do.
"Senior knows so much about my inheritance. He must be an ancient great power. May I know your name?"
Cao Xiaochun exhaled heavily and asked humbly.
The old man was obviously very satisfied with Cao Xiaochun's attitude. While smiling, a sense of pride arose spontaneously!
"I was born in chaos and am one of the first creatures in the world. My Taoist name is the Styx!"
"People call me the Patriarch of the Styx!"
Hearing this name, Cao Xiaochun was shocked. Unexpectedly, this residual soul turned out to be this person!
The ancestor of the Blood River in the ancient times, known as "the blood sea never dries up, the Styx never dies!"
He is also a powerful being at the half-step creation level!
In this way, it can be explained why the karma fire red lotus appeared here, because this red lotus is the companion spiritual treasure of the ancestor of the Styx!
