"Those who cannot see through this truth will be deluded by your endless Blood God Sons."
The Five Elements Primordial Laws transcend the Three Thousand Great Daos; no Dao can compare to the Primordial Laws.
Even if only one element of the Five Elements Primordial Potential World is condensed, it possesses infinite profundity.
Fang Ming condensed the Gold Element Primordial Potential World. Relying on the power of the primordial law, that potential, combined with his Immortal King-level magical power and divine sense, instantly perceived the truth behind Minghe's path of slaughter.
Without the power of the Gold Element Primordial World, relying solely on his powerful Immortal King primordial spirit and magical power, it would have taken much longer to decipher Minghe's Dao, and he would not have been able to do so so quickly.
"The Sea of Blood contains everything, thus for every life Minghe slaughters, he transforms all its concepts into himself."
Fang Ming had now deciphered the truth of Minghe's path of slaughter.
He understood that the Blood Dao Minghe's method of slaughtering beings was not merely killing, but rather absorbing them, not annihilating them.
The Sea of Blood itself was the most defiled place, capable of containing all things.
Just as water can contain all things.
Minghe's Dao did not lie in slaughter, but directly pointed to the fundamental concept of "containment."
He absorbed all lives into the Sea of Blood, imprinting the consciousness, thoughts, and substances of all beings into a lifeform that encompassed everything.
This lifeform was Minghe.
Minghe was not a person, nor a great divine being. His consciousness was composed of the wills of countless beings swallowed by the Sea of Blood.
This was not the so-called "I am all beings, all beings are I."
Fang Ming's "all beings are I" had clear hierarchical distinctions and master-subordinate relationships, where his own consciousness reigned supreme over all beings.
It was unlike Minghe's state, where he was equal to all beings, equitably absorbing their consciousness, ultimately transforming into something other than his original self.
It was not dominion, but absorption, absorbing the self-consciousness of all beings and acknowledging himself as their equal.
The Blood Dao Minghe did not consider his own consciousness as the "true self." He yearned for new emotional and cognitive experiences, viewing all beings as a part of himself.
Thus, every time the Sea of Blood accepted a being, swallowed a being, it was equivalent to Minghe killing himself once, and then resurrecting himself with new emotions.
Normal cultivators possessed a strict distinction between "self" and "other," as did Fang Ming. However, Minghe did not.
Upon realizing this, Fang Ming looked at the Blood Dao Minghe with the gaze one reserves for a monster.
This was perhaps the existence most akin to a Cthulhuian elder god he had encountered in the Immortal Dao world.
Cthulhuian elder gods were unnamable, not because they were powerful, but because their modes of thought diverged from the normal beings of the myriad worlds in the void.
The values and perceptions of elder gods were not accepted by mainstream beings.
Even if they could be understood, they could not be accepted.
Fang Ming could understand the Blood Dao Minghe's thought process.
But he was unwilling to accept it.
"To deal with the Sea of Blood, the Qi of Profound Unity is naturally the most suitable..."
The Qi of Profound Unity was the will of all beings.
It was perfectly suited to deal with a being like the Blood Dao Minghe, who had absorbed the wills of countless beings and transformed into something akin to a Cthulhuian elder god.
The Qi of Profound Unity materialized in Fang Ming's palm.
The Qi of Profound Unity was formless and shapeless, yet it made the Blood Dao Minghe feel as if countless hands were tearing at his will, tearing at his Sea of Blood.
The Sea of Blood, which spanned numerous high-dimensional spaces and times, was violently severed by the Qi of Profound Unity.
The seawater of the Sea of Blood, which flowed into countless worlds and timelines, was meticulously divided.
One by one, the Blood God Sons, under the influence of the Qi of Profound Unity, struggled infinitely and then regained their consciousness.
Many powerhouses, who were once considered fallen by others, were resurrected.
Or rather, Fang Ming, using the Qi of Profound Unity, tore apart part of the will of the monster that was Minghe, the combination of the wills of all beings, allowing the wills of many beings to detach from the "Minghe" will.
This was a great boon for the beings who had been swallowed.
They were resurrected.
But to the Blood Dao Minghe, this was not a good thing.
The force Fang Ming used to sever the wills was not extremely high; the Blood Dao Minghe and the many severed wills of beings still had a certain connection.
If, at this moment, the wills of the many beings voluntarily returned to the collective will of the Blood Dao Minghe, he could have salvaged a defeat in the battle.
However, the Blood Dao Minghe could accept the state of losing his "self."
He could blur the lines between self and other.
But the many beings, now severed by the Qi of Profound Unity, were unwilling to lose their selves again and merge into a grand will, becoming one person.
The Blood Dao Minghe, feeling the tide of battle turn against him, sighed inwardly, acknowledging Fang Ming, this genius, as truly troublesome.
"The terror of the Sea of Blood lies in my lack of distinction between primary and secondary wills."
"Therefore, other powerhouses cannot hope to erase me through curses, karma, or destiny."
"Unexpectedly, I am now defeated by Fang Ming's method of dealing with the wills of all beings."
"As long as the Sea of Blood does not dry up, Minghe will not die."
In the distant past, countless epochs before the current era, in the Primordial World, Minghe merged his body with the Sea of Blood and refined numerous Blood God Son avatars.
It seemed that as long as the Sea of Blood was immortal, he would be immortal.
But the Minghe of that time was constantly pondering a question.
His will was ultimately not the will of the Blood God Sons; the four hundred and eighty million Blood God Sons were merely his avatars.
Avatars were avatars.
The main body was the main body.
There was always a distinction between the primary and the secondary.
This left a flaw.
If the two Sages of the West, using the Great Karma Technique, directly targeted his main body, eradicating his most fundamental consciousness.
Or, if they directly distorted his main consciousness.
Or, if they severed the connection between his main consciousness and the numerous Blood God Son avatars.
What use would he have for countless Blood God Son avatars and soul fragments?
The Blood God Son technique was, after all, merely a method of splitting the spirit and creating avatars.
It was inferior to the divine abilities of Sages.
From that time on, the Minghe in the Primordial World secretly resolved to thoroughly study the Blood Dao. Ultimately, he researched a method that bordered on madness.
Since the Great Karma Technique and curse techniques directly targeted the main consciousness, and there were Sage divine abilities that could sever the connection between split spirits and the true body.
Then—all avatars would be the true body, and all avatar consciousness would be the main consciousness.
Since there was no longer any distinction, he would naturally not be restrained by the Great Karma Technique.
Moreover, Minghe eventually went a step further, realizing that lifeforms in the Primordial World, naturally strong like Sages, also emphasized the distinction between self and other.
Taiqing was not Shangqing, and Shangqing was not Yuqing.
Nuwa was also not the same person as the Three Pure Ones.
Such an idea was too narrow-minded and too selfish.
What would happen if the wisdom of countless beings merged into one person, and all selflessly contributed their achievements?
Minghe achieved this.
The Sea of Blood engulfing the Primordial World, while seemingly slaughtering all beings, was in fact absorbing them.
The wisdom of all beings in the Primordial World merged into one person, and Minghe's will did not hold a dominant position.
