At this moment, in Wang Ruoxie's mind.
"Should I call you Spirit of Chaos, or should I call you Blood God?"
Wang Ruoxie's consciousness body looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, who appeared like an ordinary person, and spoke.
"You may also call me Ancestor Nether River."
The middle-aged man smiled faintly and replied.
"What... You are the legendary Ancestor Nether River?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ruoxie's expression changed, and he exclaimed in shock.
Though he had long known that the drop of essence blood he accidentally consumed in the past came from the Blood God.
Legend has it that after Pangu's death in creating heaven, his navel transformed into a sea of blood, which over billions of years gave birth to the Blood God.
He just didn't expect that this Blood God was the renowned ancestor of Primordial Chaos, Ancestor Nether River.
There is a legend that after Pangu's demise, his body turned into a Netherworld Blood Sea through a mass of foul blood.
And in the Netherworld Blood Sea, there was a Chaos Placenta from which Ancestor Nether River was born, accompanied by two swords named Yuan Tu and Ah Bi.
After Ancestor Nether River came into the world, the placenta transformed into a twelfth-grade Blood Lotus, its power comparable to the legendary Chaos Supreme Treasure twelfth-grade Golden Lotus and twelfth-grade Black Lotus.
"Previously, you should have been constantly suppressed in that Chaos Secret Realm."
After recovering from the shock, Wang Ruoxie spoke to Ancestor Nether River again.
"If not for your appearance, I would have truly been unable to break free from the seal as quickly."
Ancestor Nether River nodded and said, "If you have any more questions, feel free to ask them all; for your help in my escape, and for giving me such a perfect body, I will undoubtedly speak without reserve."
"Was that drop of essence blood initially your doing?"
Wang Ruoxie's gaze lingered on Ancestor Nether River as he asked.
"Indeed, I practiced the Blood God Scripture, capable of transforming into a sea of blood and manifesting incarnations without end; a mere drop of essence blood is naturally insignificant."
Ancestor Nether River spoke candidly, "When I was sealed, I divided countless essence blood throughout the Three Realms, cultivating numerous Blood God's progeny; yet only you have reached this point."
"Even though I, back then, did not possess a Chaos Body, I never expected you to manage it. Unfortunately, you cannot unleash its true power, otherwise, even I might not be able to contend against you."
"The final question: within this Ninth Layer of life and death barrier, what kind of existence is the Heavenly Dao truly?"
Wang Ruoxie's eyes gleamed slightly as he asked once more.
"In ancient days, the Heavenly Dao; while suppressing me in chaos void, was also annihilated by me, its origin; it was unexpected, though, that after countless years, it birthed consciousness anew, even began to reconstruct the Original Heaven and Earth."
Ancestor Nether River glanced into the void and said: "However, unless it can thoroughly fuse the All Heavens and Myriad Realms with the Immortal Realm, it cannot truly recreate the Original Heaven and Earth; at most, it's merely a pseudo Heavenly Dao."
"Now, I have slain eight clones of this pseudo Heavenly Dao, and it stands no chance of recreating the Original Heaven and Earth to become the true Heavenly Dao."
Upon hearing Ancestor Nether River's words, Wang Ruoxie realized he had been a pawn to the other all along; in his previous life, he incarnated as Blood Demon, slaughtering countless beings in the Three Realms.
In this lifetime, he aided the other's escape from confinement, and even became a weapon for the other to slay the Heavenly Dao.
"Have you considered; although you claimed my body, you are now completely imprisoned within it, unable to manifest as freely as before; even if my body completely collapses, you will perish along with it."
Wang Ruoxie silently paused, then slowly spoke.
The Chaos Body harbors chaos within; even his own soul, trying to separate from the body, is impossible, let alone Ancestor Nether River who's a foreign entity.
"Ridiculous! Now that I have slain the eight clones of the pseudo Heavenly Dao, my power far exceeds his; even those so-called Immortal Saints cannot stand against me, who then can destroy my body?"
Ancestor Nether River sneered when he spoke.
Though he had to admit that after seizing the other's body, he, too, was imprisoned within this Chaos Body; if the body were to completely collapse, he would vanish altogether. However, the Chaos Body is so immensely powerful that even the true Heavenly Dao struggles to dissolve it, and could never be easily destroyed.
"Others may not be able to, but I can."
Wang Ruoxie's eyes showed a glint of decisiveness as he spoke.
"What do you mean?"
With those words, Ancestor Nether River's expression subtly changed.
"Although you seized my body, ultimately, I remain the rightful master of this form; moreover, the cultivation technique I practice is fundamentally for coalescing a Chaos Body; self-annihilation is not impossible."
Wang Ruoxie chuckled coldly, and spoke.
His Chaos Body originated from chaos, and naturally, it can return to chaos.
"Are you not afraid of death?"
Ancestor Nether River said to Wang Ruoxie with a difficult expression.
Not anticipating Wang Ruoxie's resolve to see them both obliterated.
"Since it all begins with me, let it all end with me."
Wang Ruoxie smiled indifferently and replied.
He said no more, and without hesitation, began his self-annihilation.
"Boom..."
The next instant, within Wang Ruoxie's body, it resembled chaos opening anew; endless Chaotic Qi raged wildly.
"No!"
Ancestor Nether River never expected Wang Ruoxie's decision to be so resolute; he failed to intervene, and the other had already commenced self-annihilation.
Frightening Chaotic Qi instantly engulfed his body.
"Ah..."
A piercing scream endlessly emerged from Ancestor Nether River's mouth.
If only he had known, he would never have rashly taken Wang Ruoxie's body.
He believed it could allow him to transcend the Heavenly Dao, this Chaos Body; yet it ensured his original immortal existence was completely eradicated from between heaven and earth.
The power erupting from a Chaos Body returning to chaos; even Pangu of old couldn't withstand it.
Understand that Pangu merely created heaven and earth within chaos and met his end; yet Wang Ruoxie at this moment reverted his Chaos Body to chaos, a power far surpassing the creation of heaven and earth in chaos; how could mere Ancestor Nether River withstand?
In just an instant, he vanished completely into the void, leaving no trace behind.
Yet, in doing so Wang Ruoxie not only completely obliterated Ancestor Nether River but also severed his own life force.
He only felt his soul was completely torn apart, with endless Chaotic Qi continuously obliterating it.
Soon, his consciousness began to scatter; he seemed to see himself entering chaotic void, as if seeing himself transforming into all things, merging with heaven and earth.
"Ruoxie, wake up."
As Wang Ruoxie's consciousness was about to completely vanish, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.
"Ruoxie, it's me, Profound Lady, wake up quickly."
A voice he hadn't heard in thousands of years sounded both strange and familiar.
"Ruoxie, it's Ningyue, are you going to leave me behind?"
Then another voice came.
