Chapter 54

Styx Re-establishes the Asura Cult, but Suffers Repeated Failures

Within the Undying Volcano, Lin Yang silently extended a divine sense, peering towards the Netherworld Blood Sea. (Remember this website's domain name.)

Sure enough, he saw Styx squatting in one place, sometimes frowning, and sometimes seemingly having a flash of inspiration as he kneaded clay.

That's right. I don't know where Styx found the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, and he's imitating Nuwa's creation of humans, shaping the race he envisioned.

Lin Yang observed for a long time and found that Styx either did it on purpose or was genuinely somewhat unbalanced in his studies.

When he was sculpting the Asura race, the male figures he sculpted were all deformed and extremely ugly.

But on the other hand, the female Asuras were all sculpted to be incredibly beautiful and captivating.

This means that the genes are locked in at the source, and that's how all the male Asuras are made ugly.

The female Asuras are all beautiful!

Styx tinkered for a long time, and after many experiments, at one point he seemed to have a breakthrough.

He finally figured out how to bring the Asura he had created to life.

With a single grab, Styx pulled countless souls from the sea of ​​blood.

These souls are the souls of all living beings in the primordial world who, after death, are drawn into the sea of ​​blood, struggle bitterly, and ultimately, if there are no accidents, will sink to the bottom of the sea of ​​blood and be assimilated by it.

It can be said that it was doomed to die and was destined to perish.

However, now that the River Styx is making the most of its resources, he might as well use these souls to help him create the Asura race.

Styx first erased the remaining memories of these souls, and then infused the cleansed souls into the Asura race he created.

After a while, the Asuras he had created finally began to move.

One by one, the Asuras, some incredibly ugly and others breathtakingly beautiful, opened their bewildered eyes.

At that moment, Styx burst into laughter, raising his head to shout to the heavens, "Heavenly Dao above, I, Styx, hereby create a race called the Asura race, and I beseech the Heavenly Dao to recognize its might!"

"Boom!"

Heaven has a way of responding.

Countless strange phenomena appeared in the sky above the Netherworld Blood Sea, which alarmed countless powerful beings and saints, who, like Lin Yang, all turned their gaze toward the Netherworld Blood Sea.

When they saw that the Styx had created a completely new race, they were all stunned.

First there was Nuwa creating humans, and now there's the Styx creating Asuras?

So, can the Styx River, like Nuwa, receive merit bestowed by Heaven and then attain sainthood?

"Boom!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, and with the anxious anticipation of Styx, finally, clusters of merit gathered and emerged above Styx's head.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

The Styx's laughter grew even louder.

He seemed to have already seen himself attain enlightenment.

Even if one cannot become a saint like Nuwa with the Primordial Purple Qi, one can still become a Primordial Golden Immortal like Lin Yang of the Phoenix Clan.

"Boom!" Rolling Heavenly Merit descended, landing on Styx. Styx absorbed and refined this merit, and his aura immediately rose steadily.

His cultivation was growing rapidly, becoming stronger and stronger. He quickly broke through from the late stage of Quasi-Saint to the peak of Quasi-Saint.

However, just as Styx broke through to the Quasi-Saint Perfection, suddenly, all the merit in the sky had fallen.

Styx was stuck at the Quasi-Saint Perfection stage and did not achieve his goal of attaining enlightenment.

Moreover, judging from his appearance, he is clearly still a long way from attaining enlightenment.

What happened?

Styx looked up at the sky with a somewhat bewildered expression.

Although the extraordinary phenomenon still exists, the merit has been lost.

Didn't he create a race?

Nuwa created the human race and used the merit of creating humans to prove her Dao, becoming the first saint after Hongjun.

Now that I have created the Asura race, why can't the merit I gain allow me to attain enlightenment?

At this moment, Styx felt extremely resentful.

Heaven is unjust!

Although he dared not express his opinion openly, Styx cursed the Heavenly Dao countless times in his heart.

"Ding! The Styx River's attempt to create the Asura race failed, and it will establish the Asura Cult. The host may make the following choices."

"Option 1: Stop Styx from establishing a religion, and you will receive a Blood Dao Law Fragment as a reward."

"Option 2: Continue to watch the show and you will receive a Creation Jade Fragment as a reward."

……

At that moment, the system notification sounded in Lin Yang's mind again.

"Option Two".

Lin Yang, without a second thought, decisively chose to refuse.

Another fragment of the Jade Tablet of Creation has been obtained, bringing the total to seven. Lin Yang is curious about just how many fragments this broken system has hidden.

It's like they're having a massive clearance sale, constantly selling off their stock to themselves.

Should I try to emulate Hongjun and piece together a Jade Tablet of Creation from these fragments?

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the Netherworld Blood Sea, Styx was filled with resentment and his expression hardened.

Styx was going all out.

Then Styx shouted to the heavens again: "Heaven above, I, Styx, hereby establish a great religion, named the Asura Religion."

"I suppress the destiny of the Asura Cult with the Twelve-Petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus; I am the leader of the Asura Cult."

"The Asura Cult is established!"

As soon as the Styx's voice fell, Heaven sensed it once again and bestowed merit.

Seeing the continuous stream of Heavenly Merit surging from the sky, the powerful beings and saints from all sides could hardly believe it.

It's one thing for the Styx River to have created the Asura race before, since it was hard work, so giving them merit is understandable.

But now, Styx is following suit again, imitating the Three Pure Ones and others in establishing a religion. He has successfully established the Asura religion and has also gained merit from the Heavenly Dao.

If that's the case, then wouldn't everyone be able to establish a doctrine to deceive—no, to gain merit?

Of course, most importantly, Styx had already reached the quasi-saint level after accumulating merit from creating the Asura race.

Now that he has gained merit from establishing the Asura Cult, could it really lead to his enlightenment?

At that time, another Heavenly Dao Saint will be born in this world, or perhaps a Primordial Golden Immortal like Lin Yang.

For a moment, the powerful figures from all sides couldn't help but have mixed feelings, partly due to anticipation.

If Styx can really succeed like this, then everyone can follow suit and do the same!

On the other hand, out of selfishness, the people did not want Styx to succeed.

Especially for the Sages, Lin Yang alone is enough of a headache for them. If there's another Styx, what would happen?

At this moment, the gazes of the saints toward the Netherworld Blood Sea and the River Styx were filled with a hint of killing intent.

At the same time, they were secretly on guard against Lin Yang's movements inside the Undying Volcano.

If they truly see signs of Styx's success, then the saints will not hesitate to strike and kill Styx on the spot.

They will never allow anyone else to become a Primordial Golden Immortal.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the merits of establishing the religion above Styx's head finally fell, continuously entering Styx's body and being refined by him.

Styx's aura began to rise again. However, after a while, although Styx's cultivation had increased a lot, he was still at the Quasi-Saint Perfection stage and had not yet broken through.

but--

The merits of establishing the religion have been used up once again!

He was stuck at the Quasi-Saint Perfection level and had not been able to attain enlightenment at all. Even Styx did not feel any sign that he was about to attain enlightenment.

Instantly, Styx's face turned extremely ugly.

He finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Heaven is unjust..."

However, before he could finish speaking, a bolt of purple lightning struck down from the sky, instantly plunging the Styx River into a sea of ​​blood.

This greatly alarmed the Asuras, who hurriedly scooped up the Styx River in a panic.

Styx was furious.

The Purple Heaven Divine Thunder naturally didn't do anything to him; it was just a small warning.

But Styx couldn't swallow this insult!

Why should I?!

He created the Asura race and established the Asura religion, doing all the things that the saints should have done.

Why is the merit given to him insufficient?

The more Styx thought about it, the angrier he became. He was determined to follow the example of the two Western Saints and make forty-eight great vows to the Heavenly Dao to borrow merit and attain enlightenment.

However, in the end, the matter was dropped because Styx couldn't think of any grand vow to make!

Otherwise, we might have witnessed Styx's three consecutive defeats in his path to enlightenment.
