SEC Chapter 436 Undercurrents! The Calm Before the Storm!
Chapter 436 Undercurrents! The Calm Before the Storm!
Niu Xiaomei was greatly shocked by what Niu Ben said.
There was a time when she thought that saints were the supreme beings.
Only now do I realize that there is something even more powerful.
Shocked, she took a deep breath and said:
"elder brother!"
"I believe in you. One day, you will definitely stand at the top."
As she spoke, Niu Xiaomei stared intently at Niu Ben, her eyes filled with determination.
She idolized her brother immensely, and her trust in him bordered on blindness.
Niu Ben smiled slightly and said nothing more, then sped away with Niu Xiaomei.
Soon, Niu Ben and Niu Xiaomei arrived at the Netherworld.
"My husband!"
"sisters!"
Upon seeing Niu Ben turn back, Xihe and Changxi quickly appeared to greet him.
Before Niu Ben could say anything, Niu Xiaomei darted out from behind him, her face beaming with joy:
"What's wrong?"
"Do my brother only have eyes for my two sisters-in-law?"
Upon seeing Niu Xiaomei, Xihe and Changxi were greatly surprised.
"younger sister!"
"Little sister, you've come to the underworld too!"
The three women held hands, their faces beaming with joy.
Upon seeing this, Niu Ben smiled faintly, then stayed at his residence with Xihe and the other two women for a while before getting up and heading to his secluded cultivation place.
Upon entering the secluded chamber, Niu Ben had a sudden thought and began communicating with the system:
"System, claim your reward!"
Soon, the system's response came:
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations, owner! You have successfully claimed your reward!]
[Reward received: Three drops of Chaos Demon God's essence blood.]
After leaving Zixiao Palace, Niu Ben did not return to the Underworld immediately, but went to the Niu Clan.
Halfway there, they encountered the Demon Ancestor Rahu.
Luo Hou valued Niu Ben and wanted to invite him to join his ranks.
It was at that moment that the God-level Choice System was triggered, and Niu Ben chose to reject Luo Hou, thus receiving a reward of three drops of Chaos Demon God's essence blood.
Upon returning to the underworld, Niu Ben naturally intended to refine these three drops of Chaos Demon God's essence blood.
"With my cultivation level of the ninth level of the Primordial Golden Immortal, I am invincible among the saints."
"When faced with a being at the Heavenly Dao level, this level of strength seems rather inadequate!"
Niu Ben muttered to himself, his expression slightly grave.
He had fought against the Holy Ancestor during the great war against the Devouring Universe Realm.
Although extremely brief, it put Niu Ben under immense pressure.
Even though he brought out two innate treasures, the World-Destroying Millstone and the Chaos Five Elements Flag, they were still somewhat inadequate in the face of the Holy Ancestor.
In addition, he recently encountered Rahu, and because he refused to become Rahu's subordinate, Rahu became furious.
Adhering to the principle of "if you can't have it, destroy it," Luo Hou decided to take action to completely suppress Niu Ben.
The terrifying aura and oppressive force still make Niu Ben tremble when he thinks about it now.
Fortunately, Dao Ancestor Hongjun arrived in time and managed to repel Rahu.
It was because of these events that Niu Ben realized that his current strength was far from enough!
"call!"
After thinking for a moment, he let out a long sigh, cleared his mind of all distractions, and then casually waved his hand.
The next moment, three drops of the essence blood of the Chaos God and Demon appeared out of thin air in front of Niu Ben.
"Boom boom..."
As these three drops of essence blood appeared, the secluded cultivation place where Niu Ben was located was immediately filled with three terrifying auras.
The surrounding protective barriers hummed incessantly under the impact of this aura, as if they were about to collapse.
"As expected of the essence blood of the Chaos God!"
"The aura it emits alone is so terrifying."
Upon seeing this, Niu Ben couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Then, he carefully examined the three drops of Chaos Demon God's essence blood.
Upon closer inspection, three drops of semen could be seen.
A drop of dark red, like solidified magma, exudes a violent law of power.
A single drop of deep blue, like ancient ice, exudes extreme cold and desolation.
The last drop was a hazy, chaotic gray, as if it contained the mysteries of the creation and destruction of space.
After a brief glance, a glint flashed in Niu Ben's eyes. Without further hesitation, he activated his mind, and the drop of dark red Chaos Demon God's essence blood flew towards his body.
"boom!"
In no time, the drop of blood essence entered Niu Ben's body.
In an instant, a violent surge of blood energy erupted from Niu Ben's body.
In addition, a vast amount of power and principles surged around his body.
Niu Ben didn't delay and immediately began refining it.
……
Just as Niu Ben was in seclusion refining the essence blood of the Chaos Demon God, the primordial world entered a relatively peaceful period.
Of course, the calm was only on the surface.
Beneath the surface, a turbulent undercurrent was brewing.
In particular, the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan, although no new conflicts broke out, seemed to be living in peace.
But as many creatures in the primordial world knew, there had long been undercurrents between the demon race and the witch race.
"In this period of time, in this primordial world, it was truly... quiet!"
"It's just the calm before the storm!"
"yes!"
"If I'm not mistaken, both the demon race and the witch race are currently refining the Saint's Crystal as quickly as possible, right?"
"The Saint Crystal that the demon race was bestowed upon was refined by the Demon Emperor Di Jun, while for the witch race, it should be Emperor Jiang, the Ancestral Witch."
"I wonder who among them will be the first to refine the Saint's Crystal and attain sainthood?"
"Hard to say!"
"Whichever of these two races produces a sage first will have the upper hand!"
"..."
Many powerful figures were discussing it.
They all knew in their hearts that the current peace in the primordial world was only temporary.
When a sage is born from either the demon race or the witch race, the primordial world will once again be plunged into violent turmoil.
At this moment, the Wu tribe resides within the Pangu Temple.
Dijiang Zuwu had already gone to refine the Saint's Crystal.
At this moment, all eleven ancestral witches gathered in the hall.
"It's been quite a while, why hasn't there been any movement from my elder brother's side?"
"When will I be able to successfully refine the Saint's Crystal and become a Saint?"
Zhu Rong, the Ancestral Witch, said anxiously, looking somewhat impatient.
"Zhurong, what's the rush?"
"When the time is right, Brother will be able to successfully refine it!"
Gonggong, the ancestral witch, rolled his eyes at Zhurong and said irritably.
"snort!"
Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Witch Zhurong gave a cold snort and was about to retort to the Ancestral Witch Gonggong.
Just then, the ancestral witch Qiangliang suddenly said:
"Please, both of you, calm down!"
"I've gathered you all here to discuss important matters, not to listen to your bickering!"
After Qiangliang Zuwu said this, Zhurong and Gonggong were stunned for a moment, snorted coldly at each other, and neither looked at the other.
At this moment, the Ancestral Witch Jumang spoke:
"The Ancestral Witch Qiangliang is right. The situation is tense right now; both our Witch Clan and the Demon Clan are racing against time!"
"It is precisely at times like these that we should unite."
The other ancestral witches nodded in agreement with what Jumang said.
