Chapter 594: 481 The Appearance of the Sea of Blood

Even though the Great Sun Tathagata had made every effort to conceal his aura, the moment he approached the Netherworld, an innate coldness burst out from within, a coldness so intense it seemed capable of freezing Heaven and Earth.

"Remnants of the Demon Clan, die!"

At the moment when the cold appeared, an extremely cold voice rang out from within the Netherworld.

Immediately, an unimaginable innate coldness swept towards the Great Sun Tathagata. As it passed by, even space-time was frozen solid.

"Power of the Mysterious Cold!"

"It’s the Ancestral Witch of Mysterious Cold, she’s still alive!"

Great Sun Tathagata recognized the source of the coldness. Aghast, he turned and fled towards the Spiritual Mountain without looking back.

The Ancestral Witch of Mysterious Cold was the Ancestral Witch of Ice, known as the Goddess of Harsh Winter, and wielder of the power of ice. Her power naturally countered that of the Great Sun Tathagata. If both were at the same level, he would not fear her.

However, the Great Sun Tathagata was weaker than the Ancestral Witch of Mysterious Cold. With their attributes at odds, he was not robust enough to fight her. If they were to engage in combat, it wouldn’t take long for the Ancestral Witch of Mysterious Cold to extinguish the Sun True Fire of the Great Sun Tathagata and cast him into eternal silence.

As such, the Great Sun Tathagata dared not fight the Ancestral Witch of Mysterious Cold. The moment he sensed her taking action, he decided to flee without hesitation, cleanly and decisively.

He was so quick in his escape that not even the Ancestral Witch of Mysterious Cold, one of the top Great Divine Transcendents, could catch up.

It could only be said that the Great Sun Tathagata, who managed to come out unscathed from two consecutive Heavenly Earth Calamities, was extraordinarily skilled in fleeing.

"Hmph, you sure know how to run. I’ll spare your life this time. However, Di Jun’s son, using all his abilities to preserve his life and deceive others without inheriting any of his father’s heroic spirit, I wonder how Di Jun would react if he knew."

In the deepest part of the Netherworld, where endless dark energy converged, a supreme divine being shrouded in coldness, watching the Great Sun Tathagata’s fleeing figure, couldn’t help but emit a disdainful sneer.

She was the Ancestral Witch of Mysterious Cold, the youngest of the twelve Ancestral Witches. Because of her young age, she was cared for by the other Ancestral Witches, allowing her to survive the decisive battle between demons and witches.

However, the decisive battle was extremely brutal. Even though the Ancestral Witch of Mysterious Cold survived, she was severely injured. Later on, she was taken away by Mother Earth and spent her time deep in the Netherworld, recuperating.

The twelve Ancestral Witches had fought against Di Jun Taiyi for many years, and so they were extremely familiar with his aura. The Great Sun Tathagata thought he had perfectly concealed his aura, but little did he know, to the perception of the Ancestral Witch of Mysterious Cold, his aura was as bright as the Great Sun.

Therefore, as soon as the Great Sun Tathagata approached the Netherworld, he alarmed the Ancestral Witch of Mysterious Cold.

"Just now, I seemed to have sensed the aura of the Father God, but why did it disappear as soon as I entered the Netherworld?"

After scaring away the Great Sun Tathagata, the Ancestral Witch of Mysterious Cold frowned. A little confused, she sent out her divine sense, sweeping across the Netherworld.

As the treasure formed from fragments of the Heaven-Opening Axe, the Tao Mirror naturally had Pangu’s aura. It was normal for the Ancestral Witch of Mysterious Cold to detect it during the transition between realms.

However, as soon as it entered the Netherworld, the Tao Mirror hid all its aura, making it difficult for the Ancestral Witch of Mysterious Cold to find it again.

"Strange, why can’t I find it?"

She searched for a while, but the Ancestral Witch of Mysterious Cold still found nothing. She knew that she was not destined to find it and reluctantly gave up, retracting her divine sense.

So, what was Jiang Chen doing at the moment?

He was inside the Tao Mirror, wholeheartedly refining the remnants of the nine Golden Crows.

As soon as the Tao Mirror entered the Netherworld, it took him straight into the Underworld River, as commanded by Jiang Chen, and continued to descend, venturing many miles deep.

It was due to the barrier of the Underworld River that the Ancestral Witch of Mysterious Cold failed to detect his traces.

...

......

After being swallowed by the Void Maelstrom, the remnants of the nine Golden Crows were easily obliterated and transformed into pure energy for Jiang Chen to absorb.

After absorbing the remnants of the Golden Crows, the Great Sun Original Source within Jiang Chen, which had been restlessly agitated, not only instantly calmed down but also actively merged into his body. From this point, Jiang Chen and the Original Source became one, inseparable.

At this moment, the nine Golden Crows no longer existed in the world. The power they left behind had completely integrated into Jiang Chen’s body and had become his own strength.

Boom!

In the dark, strands of resentment and karmic power rose, some targeting Jiang Chen, some targeting the Great Sun Tathagata.

This was the resentment and karma carried by the nine Golden Crows. Due to the act of refining their Original Source, Jiang Chen inherited a small part of it, and the rest, the vast majority, rushed to the last surviving Great Sun Golden Crow, the Great Sun Tathagata, on the Spiritual Mountain.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the resentment and karma sweeping towards him like a tide, the Great Sun Tathagata’s face darkened instantly, filled with anger.

However, even though he was angry, he didn’t lose his composure completely. Over the years, the Great Sun Tathagata had accumulated a considerable amount of Merit. This karma was indeed powerful, but it couldn’t shake his foundation.

Sizzling...

The karma impacted him, and the Great Sun Tathagata’s body immediately emanated a sizzling sound. At the same time, wisps of black smoke rose from his body, giving off a burnt smell.

This was a phenomenon caused by karma being burned by Merit. The Great Sun Tathagata was using his Merit to forcefully dispel the karma on his body.

One could see the dazzling golden light surrounding the Great Sun Tathagata dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye.

By the time the Merit’s golden light was completely extinguished, there was not much left of the karma and resentment flowing towards the Great Sun Tathagata.
