The Awakening of Heroes: The Beginning of Pangu

Chapter 102 Summoning the Holy Patriarch Styx! ([-]-character chapter)
The faces of the top arrogances and powerful bosses hiding in the dark alley changed drastically.

"What... what does he want to do?"

"Why don't you kneel down quickly?"

"If you want to die, don't drag us along."

"Kneel down quickly, even if the score will drop, but the life will be gone."

……

They panicked. Although they wanted Li Gu to be killed, they would be in danger if law enforcement came.

Level 71 spirit emperor realm, let alone attacking them, a coercion can cause them to fall seriously injured, then other fighting evil spirits can easily eat them.

At this time, in other countries, Tianjiao chose to hide and temporarily avoid the edge.

However, I was very upset and aggrieved. After all, they had to hide for such an ugly evil spirit with no combat power, and their scores were dropping rapidly.

But, there is no way, life is more important.

They also regretted it. They knew that they would not enter this island, but they did not expect that they would be forced to teleport to the vicinity of the evil spirit. In this way, their scores would drop even lower than when they were on the other island, and the loss outweighed the gain.

There were also some unlucky people who appeared in the middle of the road, in front of the evil spirit.

Although it was unbearable, I had to endure it. I quickly retreated to both sides of the road, and instead of leaving, I knelt down.

Because even if you leave, you will be targeted even more.

They cannot leave this area.

Therefore, he could only kneel down, and his score dropped rapidly.

This is the case in any country. If you are unlucky enough to be noticed by the evil spirits, you have to kneel down.

However, only the Dragon Kingdom is different.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone in the Dragon Kingdom, Li Gu just walked straight and swaggered, like shopping, without paying any attention.

"Ancient God, stop quickly, the evil spirit is ahead."

"Heavenly evil spirits are just like Tianlong people, and they have the same temperament."

"The ancient god is very powerful, but this time, he must avoid the edge for the time being."

……

They are all anxious and worried, even the Lingshan group has the same combat power.

Because, we all know how powerful law enforcement will be.

At this time, the three heavenly evil spirits saw a figure approaching in front of them, and they were still human beings.

They feel greatly challenged, insulted.

"It's just human beings. Even high-level evil spirits are humble and lowly races in our eyes. What's more, you, a human being, are even more humble, and dare to appear in front of us and other heavenly evil spirits."

"Human, get out of the way, don't dirty my way forward."

"It's really looking for death."

A gun made of black spiritual power appeared in a sky evil spirit's hand. When he pulled the trigger, a beam of spiritual power shot out, as powerful as a level 64 spirit king's attack.

This is a weapon made by the top manufacturing evil spirits, which can be used even by evil spirits who have no combat power.

Li Gu's eyes turned cold.

This suddenly made the Tianjiao's hearts tremble.

Whoosh!
Li Gu continued to move forward, but at the same time, his tiny body flickered, so fast that in the eyes of Tian Xie Ling, Li Gu was walking straight.

However, all of his spiritual spears were dodged, why.

"How dare you hide."

"hateful."

"Guard, take him down."

On both sides of Tianxieling, there is an evil spirit on each side, guarding the evil spirits, their strength is higher than that of a single law enforcement officer, and they are all 68-level high-level evil spirits.

There are only two, but I think it is enough, because who would dare to do anything to the evil spirit, unless it is desperate.

Li Guying was fused with spirits, eleven ancestral witches, Di Jun, Chang Xi, and Xi He.

Immediately, the breath of strength soared, causing the guard's expression to change drastically.

The time and space around them were affected, and then the Eastern Emperor Taiyi emerged, and the Chaos Clock came crashing down.

They couldn't protect the Heavenly Evil Spirit at all.

Whoosh!
"what!"

Three screams came out at the same time, and the three heavenly evil spirits were directly blown away by Li Gu's fist. Amidst the screams, their bodies swelled and exploded directly by the terrifying force, leaving no bones left.

Li Gu was murderous, and said in a cold voice: "Not only dare to talk to me like that, but also raise a gun to shoot, then, you must kill."

"Heavenly evil spirit!"

The guard exclaimed in disbelief.

It's not that he couldn't believe he was killed by a punch, but that he dared to kill the evil spirit.

In an instant, the ninety top Tianjiao panicked!
But the civilian evil spirits and combat evil spirits were all stunned.

Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Evil Spirit was killed.

Suddenly, they were all trembling!
"This... this island is going to end."

"Get out of here."

"Law enforcement will definitely be coming."

"Heavenly Evil Spirit suffers some skin trauma, law enforcement will come, let alone be killed now!"

"Run!"

……

Whether it is civilian evil spirits or combat evil spirits, they all panic and flee.

The Tianjiao's faces were extremely ugly, they stopped hiding, and were extremely angry.

"Li Gu, you want to die, don't drag us."

"Enforcement is coming."

"Heavenly evil spirits dare to kill. You Li Gu have always been crushed and invincible, but this time, you didn't choose to endure."

……

Li Gu looked indifferent, and said lightly: "The garbage that is not as good as pigs and dogs, if you kill it, you will kill it, there is no need to panic."

This made the Tianjiao's face ugly.

rumbling...

Suddenly, they raised their heads abruptly, their eyes showing horror.

In the sky, a bloody vortex emerged, law enforcement is coming!
Before it came, they could feel the terrifying aura, making them unable to breathe.

Then, law enforcement will appear, and then they can really be seriously injured with a coercion.

They had a thought in their hearts that they had to get out of here.

"It's too late for Li Gu to lower his score because it's too high."

"We're okay."

"Go, or you will die."

"Damn it, the hard work was in vain. This time, the rewards for this opportunity are gone. It's all because Li Gu killed the Heavenly Evil Spirit and brought in law enforcement officers."

"I'm much happier. After all, I'm waiting for the top talent of mankind, but I have to face that kind of garbage hiding. It's really uncomfortable and shameful. Now, I was killed by Li Gu, good job. But, it's too dangerous."

"I dare not say that I can help you, the gap is too big, I have to leave."

……

Whoosh...

The Tianjiao came here to face the fleeing evil spirits.

"Get out of the way, don't get in the way."

"Don't you want to live?"

The evil spirits attacked, but they didn't resist. They chose to be attacked, and they were constantly deflated and repelled, and their scores dropped even faster.

The vortex opened up, and they panicked in their hearts. The first thing they saw was a pair of golden feet, and thousands of golden lights burst out.

They knew that law enforcement was coming.

However, the score quickly dropped to below [-], and they breathed a sigh of relief.

In the next moment, the Ninety Talents were sent out continuously, because they failed, and the score was less than sixty.

When they came out, they looked around and confirmed that they were no longer on the island, so they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The bosses of the six major forces sneered and gloated.

"Li Gu, you are really courting death this time."

"You at level 61, even if there is still a Heroic Spirit that you haven't summoned, but facing the Spirit Emperor at level 71, you are still a top evil spirit race, how do you fight?"

"You not only have leapfrog combat power, but also transcend realm combat power. However, there is a big gap between the 61st level spirit king and the 71st level spirit emperor, let alone a top evil spirit. You are invincible at the same level, but you can still win if you can't break the level."

"It's the best if we don't let us kill you. You are alone, and we, the top talents, can't see hope. But now, you are about to be killed."

……

Although there was no chance reward, knowing that Li Gu was about to die, they were relieved a lot.

The two guards were killed by Dong Huangtai in an instant.

Li Gu withdrew from the fusion of heroic spirits and went all out in the battle. After all, this battle will indeed be the most difficult.

In the vortex, a golden figure descended from the sky, and panic swept the entire island.

In an instant, the fleeing civilian evil spirits and combat evil spirits all prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling.

They felt the terrifying force in the sky above, the majesty and aura of the law enforcement general, which made their hearts frightened, their teeth chattering, their hearts beating wildly, and even their souls trembled in fear.

Even the fighting evil spirits at level 68 and 69 feel extremely small.

Not only the gap between the Spirit King and the Spirit Emperor, but also the gap in race level.

Whoosh!
boom!
The golden figure fell to the ground like a golden streamer. Immediately, there was a bombardment, and the ground exploded where it landed, and gravel flew.

In an instant, the dust was scattered by the golden air wave, and a figure emerged.

Everyone in Longguo looked over and saw a three-meter-tall golden figure with golden armor and long golden hair, majestic, cold, and looking like a pool of stagnant water.

"Meet the Law Enforcement General!"

All the evil spirits on the island prostrate and worship.

The law enforcement general just looked at Li Gu coldly, narrowed his eyes, and burst out with murderous aura.

In an instant, the temperature of the island plummeted, and the terrifying murderous aura made the island feel as if it had entered an ice age. All the evil spirits felt the bone-piercing cold, hitting the soul directly.

However, Li Gu looked indifferent and unmoved.

This made the law enforcement officer slightly surprised, but in his heart, Li Gu was already a dead man.

Law enforcement will be cold and muffled.

"How dare you kill the Heavenly Evil Spirit."

Li Gu was disdainful: "What dare not kill the things that are not as good as pigs and dogs? Really, comparing them with pigs and dogs is an insult to pigs and dogs."

This made the law enforcement generals unsure, and their anger rose.

"Bold! The Heavenly Evil Spirit race is the top of the top races. There are combat and non-combat types. It's fine if you don't know these things. You know that if the Heavenly Evil Spirit has an accident, my law enforcement officer will come, but you still do this. Don't you put my law enforcement general in your eyes? Are you not afraid of my law enforcement general?"

"I've done it all, and you know it very well."

Li Gu's words caused the law enforcement to explode with coercion and disdain.

"Then, let's die. It's only a level 61 spirit king. Even if he has many heroic spirits, and the heroic spirits are all great powers, they can't make up for this huge level difference! Let you know, the horror of the spirit king!"

The terrifying coercion erupted, instantly causing the fighting spirit to lie on the ground, extremely heavy.

What's more, the target is still Li Gu.

Li Gu's physical body also felt heavy, and his body couldn't straighten up.

The law enforcement officer sneered: "You can't even stand up straight when facing me. How can you fight against me?"

On the contrary, Li Gu was full of enthusiasm and excitement.

"After killing the evil spirit, the score soared to [-]. After all, it was the evil spirit that killed the evil spirit. When I kill you, the score will be even higher. Then the island and the party will be complete, and the rewards will be very rich."

Hearing this, Law Enforcement General was startled, and then laughed out of anger, as if hearing a big joke.

"Hahahaha...Leaving aside your strength, your ability to tell jokes is top-notch."

At this time, the entire Dragon Kingdom is heavy.

The opponent this time is too different and too strong.

The bosses of the big forces also found it ridiculous, thinking that Li Gu must be finished this time.

Everyone in the Lingshan group is worried, but they choose to believe.

Li Gu's spiritual power exploded, exceeding the limit.

Behind him, fifteen heroic spirits emerged, and as Li Guchao exploded to the limit, the gate of heroic spirits solidified infinitely.

The fifteen heroic spirits are eleven Zuwu, Dijun, Taiyi, Changxi, and Xihe.

Suddenly, the coercion from the law enforcement general collapsed, and the pressure dissipated.

Everyone in Long Kingdom was shocked, there were fifteen heroic spirits, two more.

"so beautiful."

"The goddess in white clothes is more beautiful than Chang'e and Little Dragon Girl."

"look alike."

"Could it be Chang Xi and Xi He born of the Lunar Star?"

"It's no wonder that the hero list has not changed. Although the strength is not as good as Zu Wu, he is still a powerful quasi-sage."

……

Li Gu's outburst of strength surprised the law enforcement generals, he was stronger than he imagined, and there were more heroic spirits.

The law enforcement generals were all amazed at this: "You are truly monstrous human beings. The fifteen heroic spirits are all powerful quasi-sages. No wonder you dare to do this. My law enforcement general admits that you have this capital, but it is not enough to make up for the disparity in strength and kill me."

The law enforcers did not panic, and were extremely confident, as if Li Gu's death was a foregone conclusion.

The law enforcement general is murderous: "I want to kill you even more. It is the threat of the entire evil spirit race. It can be called a disaster when it grows up. Although the evil spirits are noble, their death is worth it in exchange for such a huge threat like you. The gap between you and me cannot be made up by these combat powers, it is not enough!"

As soon as the words fell, Law Enforcement General jumped up, and the golden sword in his hand was condensed, and he was about to slash at Li Gu.

However, in the next moment, Li Gu's momentum exploded and became stronger!
Li Gu's piercing voice resounded through the entire island, making the entire Dragon Kingdom hear it!
"Not enough, then... summon another one!"

In an instant, everyone in Longguo was shocked, and their eyes showed anticipation!who is it?
The law enforcement will be stunned, is there any more?Isn't this his limit state?
In the next moment, behind Li Gu, a bloody figure appeared!
In an instant, all eyes on the island and the entire Dragon Kingdom were focused on behind Li Gu.

Li Gu's hole card, No. 16 Heroic Spirits, is about to appear!
In the sky behind Li Gu, a pool of blood emerged, and in the blood, a figure condensed and fell.

Whoosh!
The blood-colored figure fell to the ground and turned into a tall figure, dressed in a blood-colored robe, with blood-colored long hair dancing wildly, and a blood-colored beard fluttering. Combined with that calm and majestic face, it is even more frightening.

The blood-colored figure holds a top-grade innate spirit treasure and two blood swords in each hand, full of killing aura, but without the slightest cause and effect, and without any resentment.

Under the feet, stepping on a lotus platform, there are twelve lotus petals, burning blood-red karmic fire.

This scene gave people endless arrogance and astonishing deterrence, even the law enforcement generals were shocked by it.

The entire Dragon Kingdom was shaken!After a moment of silence, it boils!

"Could it be..."

"There will be no doubt."

"Holding Yuantu in both hands, Ahbi, stepping on the fire red lotus of the twelfth grade industry, he is..."

In the next moment, Li Guweiran's voice resounded, as everyone guessed.

"No. 16 Heroic Spirits, holy! Patriarch Styx!!"

The face of the law enforcement will be shocked!
In Longguo, the boiling sound shook the heavens and the earth!

"I'm going, really!"

"Among the spirits of the ancient gods, there is also Patriarch Styx!"

"Not a quasi-sage, but... the most holy!"

"This battle is not invincible."

"What is the concept of the most holy, who can talk about it?"

"Higher than a quasi-sage, lower than a saint, it can be said to be a half-step saint."

"The ancient gods are amazing!"

……

With all the combat power of the Lingshan group, their eyes are shining, they are happy, and they feel a lot more relaxed.

The faces of the powerful Tianjiao are ugly, why Li Gu keeps shocking people again and again, the sixteen heroic spirits are all holy.

Too many people are aware of the power of Patriarch Styx.

At the same time, as Li Gu summoned Patriarch Styx, everyone was shocked.

I have been thinking about who Li Gu's ultimate heroic spirit is.

Some people have thought about Sanqing, the sage Laozi.

After all, they are all surnamed Li.

But now, they realize a problem.

Li Gu's current heroic spirits are all related to that one.

That is, Pangu!

Pangu's essence and blood turned into twelve ancestral witches, with eyes of the sun and moon, and then gave birth to the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the Demon Emperor Jun, Chang Xi, and Xi He.

And now, Patriarch Styx.

After Pangu opened the sky, the navel turned into a Nether Blood Sea, and in the Nether Blood Sea, there was a placenta, which was conceived by the Patriarch Styx, who was born with two swords, Yuan Tu and A Bi.The placenta turned into a twelve-grade blood lotus.

Yuantu, Abi, is terrifyingly powerful, killing and killing does not involve cause and effect.

The twelfth-grade fire red lotus was conceived by one of the four lotus seeds of the chaotic green lotus. It inherited part of the supernatural power of the chaotic green lotus, and its defense power can be said to be almost impenetrable.

Leaving aside his own strength, the addition of these magic weapons alone made Patriarch Styx extremely powerful.

And Patriarch Styx learned from Nuwa to create human beings, and created the God of War Asura clan with the vitality of the sea of ​​blood and the souls of all living beings.

He also learned the Sanqing Lijiao, suppressed luck with the twelve-grade karma fire red lotus, followed the teaching that nothing in the world cannot be killed, and established the way of killing, the Ashura religion.The merits of establishing a religion made him take a big step on the road of holiness, so that Patriarch Styx could not be called the pinnacle of quasi-sage. Although he was not sanctified, he was still the most holy!
To say that No. 1 under the sage, Kong Xuan in the Conferred God period is nothing to call it this way in the Conferred God period, but in the prehistoric period, it is a joke.

However, not only Donghuang Taiyi is known as the No. 1 under the saint, but there is also one, undoubtedly, the absolute No. 1 under the saint.

That is, the most holy, Patriarch Styx!

This is also the reason why too many people in the Dragon Kingdom are excited, they are too powerful.

As Li Gu summoned Patriarch Styx, his own strength skyrocketed again.

However, it is also extremely difficult to bear.

Now there is still an hour before the end of the island, what Li Gu has to do is to last for an hour.

After the law enforcement general shook, he was full of murderous intent, and snorted coldly: "I'm going to kill you even more. It's really terrifying. Although I summoned a total of sixteen heroic spirits, each one is more terrifying than the other, but let you know that it is impossible to defeat my 71-level spirit emperor, the top evil spirit law enforcement general! Let me kill you, and it is also a matter of great fortune!"

The law enforcement slashed out with a sword, and the golden sword light slashed towards him. The ancestor Minghe crossed his swords and raised his swords to block. At the same time, the twelfth-rank industry fire red lotus burst out, covering the blood barrier to resist the power of this sword.

At the same time, the fire of karma erupted and rushed out. Even the law enforcement officers had to step back and dodge.

Li Gulin said: "This battle, Styx, let's start your personal show."

Li Gu said, merged with the heroic spirit, eleven ancestor witches, Di Jun, Chang Xi, Xi He.

Let yourself reach the limit state.

The people who looked at it shook, the monster's flesh.

With many heroic spirits, the more heroic spirits are summoned, the greater the pressure on the body, not to mention that Li Gu summons terrifying existences.

However, Heroic Spirit Fusion still needs to be carried out.

I thought I was used to it. After all, Li Gu fought like this many times, fighting beyond the limit and bearing the load.

But now, a bigger load.

Immediately, Patriarch Styx became more imposing.

Li Gu did not merge with Donghuang Taiyi, because it was already beyond the limit. Donghuang Taiyi was stronger than the ancestral witches and Emperor Jun, and adding another Donghuang Taiyi was unbearable, even if he was a descendant of Pangu, his body could not bear it. After all, there is a limit.

After all, the level is here.

However, neither Li Gu nor Donghuang Taiyi planned to make a move.

Li Gu sat down cross-legged, allowing himself to consume less and recover his spiritual power at the same time.And Donghuang Taiyi held the Chaos Clock in his hand for protection.

The law enforcement will be able to see that, after all, in this state, the spiritual power is consumed very quickly. If you don't fight, you can recover while fighting, so that the battle will last longer.

Ancestor Minghe's fighting spirit was rising, and he was firm: "I will not let down the trust of my lord, so let me, Minghe, kill him!"

The law enforcement general sneered: "Just let you know that the gap between the Spirit King and the Spirit Emperor, even if you great powers like you are summoned, can't make up for this essential gap in realm!"

The law enforcer held the golden sword in both hands, and shot it out. The golden sword instantly became huge, spread across the sky, piercing the Styx with terrifying power.

The quality of defense on this island is higher, ten times that of the outside world, but the space at this time has been cut, and one can imagine the horror of this sword.

The patriarch Minghe stepped on the fire red lotus, held a sword in both hands, dancing wildly with blood, showing domineering sideways.

Yehuo Honglian's bloody red tornado erupted, Yuantu Abi's killing and attacking intersected, and the ancestor of Minghe shot out violently, constantly defeating the golden sword glow, approaching.

The golden sword light erupted again, with a radiant brilliance, the ancestor Styx slashed with the double blood sword, and the cross blood light cut out, combined with the karmic fire tornado, the power was terrifying, collided with the sword light, and bombed.

Both are shocks.

The law enforcement will be like a golden streamer, sweeping over the Styx, the golden sword light spreads, expands, and pierces quickly, and stabs repeatedly.

In an instant, it was like thousands of golden sword lights covering the Styx River.

The fire red lotus of the twelfth rank industry erupted, covered with a blood barrier, resisting the sword light, charged forward violently, and the two blood swords slashed out.

boom! !

Terrorist bombing, the surrounding space collapsed.

In front of the law enforcement general, Ming He raised his two blood swords high and chopped them down.

The law enforcement will raise the golden sword to block it horizontally. The strength of the two sides explodes and the stalemate. You can see the golden and bloody ripples spreading from the collision point continuously in a circle, causing the sky with a radius of [-] meters to be constantly turbulent and even cracked.

It's just that the aftermath that spread out is so terrifying.

The blood-colored karmic fire surged, and the blood gushed out of Ming He's chest. The combination of the two turned into a mouth of flames, devouring the law enforcement officer.

The law enforcement opened his eyes with golden light, and two golden lights shot out from his eyes, collided, and bombed!

The weapons of the two also erupted, and each of them retreated again.

Law enforcement will retreat 200 meters, and Styx will retreat [-] meters.

The law enforcement general snorted coldly: "It's more difficult to deal with than I imagined. You can narrow the gap in combat power to such a point. This is your reliance. It is not stupid to kill the evil spirits. You are very strong. But, I will win this battle."

The law enforcement put the golden sword in his hand on his back, and suddenly, the golden sword spread to the sky. In the next moment, the golden sword spread like a peacock, with golden swords all over his back, and immediately shot out, densely packed and huge golden swords shot out from behind continuously, all over the world around the Styx River in an instant, and surrounded and killed.

Styx has karma red lotus body protection, defense, its own strength and the two spirit treasures of Yuantu and Abi are powerful in attack, and they keep swinging their swords.

Suddenly, the sound of bombing continued.

Everyone was dumbfounded watching this battle, and the Tianjiao were even more hit, and the gap with Li Gu was getting bigger and bigger.

The law enforcement will bloom the golden light all over his body, as if he is integrated with the golden sword, and he will shoot out like a sword.

Styx turned into blood and shot out, and the blood swords in both hands joined together and stabbed out.

Suddenly, two beams of light, one red and one gold, collided instantly.

boom! !

clack clack...

The surrounding space continued to shatter, and space debris shattered and fell like glass.

During the bombing, the law enforcement officers retreated, bleeding from the corners of their mouths.

Styx retreated, spitting blood.

"I said, even if you exceed the limit, you can't defeat my law enforcement officer."

The golden light all over his body was shining brightly, and the golden swords bloomed and merged. In an instant, dense golden sword lights shot out, overwhelming the sky like a tsunami.

Bloody swords shot out, dense blood swords, golden swords occupied the left and right sides of the sky, colliding constantly.

However, the golden sword glow continued to attack, and the blood barrier shrouded the golden sword.

However, in the next moment, Law Enforcement used his natural ability, disappeared himself, and merged with a nearby sword in an instant, suddenly huge, like a heavenly sword, the huge sword tip pierced the barrier, and the barrier quickly cracked.

The next moment, with a puff, the giant sword pierced through the [-]th-grade karmic red lotus, piercing Styx's body, and even the sword was so huge that it cut Styx in half, turned it into blood, wrapped Yuantu, Abi stabbed out, and collided with the giant sword.

Law enforcement will return to the spot, spitting blood and wounded.

However, he sneered.

"I said, I will win. Ancestor Styx, the most holy, but how much strength can you display in your life? You are strong in attack and strong in defense with the twelfth-rank fire red lotus. You can fight and resist, but you can only blame your master who is only a 61-level spirit king. If you are three or four levels higher, I am really no match for you."

Law enforcement will be excited. In this way, Li Gu's combat power will not be at its peak, let alone his opponent. As he thought, everything is a foregone conclusion, and he will definitely kill Li Gu.

In Longguo, too many people's hearts sank. Sure enough, it still can't make up for the huge gap in realm? The law enforcement will be too strong.

The bosses of the big forces breathed a sigh of relief and were happy that Li Gu was no match for the Linghuang.

Law enforcement will be proud, lol.

"I killed Hong Huang Da Neng, the most holy Patriarch Minghe, hahaha..."

However, the next moment, a voice of disdain sounded.

In an instant, everyone's expressions changed drastically!

All I saw was that a cloud of blood suddenly erupted in the sky, spreading and rushing into a sea of ​​blood in an instant, covering the sky and the earth!

The voice of disdain is the voice of the Styx, coming from the sea of ​​blood.

"In the prehistoric times, even a sage couldn't kill me. Even if it's hard to show one-tenth of a millionth of my strength at the peak, you still want to kill me, Styx? It's ridiculous."

In the next moment, in the sea of ​​blood, a bloody figure condensed and swept out, it was Patriarch Styx!

For a moment, everyone thought of a word!

The sea of ​​blood never dries up!
Styx is immortal!
