Di Ting urged him to leave repeatedly, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva finally took it seriously and decided to return to Mount Ling first to avoid the sharp edge of the Styx Ancestor.
"Alas! It's too late..." Di Ting suddenly cried out in despair.
It turned out that the man and the beast had just left the palace and hadn't even left the Pure Land yet when boundless blood light enveloped the entire Pure Land.
At this moment, amidst the boundless blood mist, black clouds rose and churned, and Asura demons appeared and disappeared within the demonic clouds.
In an instant, the wails of ghosts and gods resounded throughout the entire underworld, and sheets of paper money danced in the dark clouds.
The malevolent energy surged from the clouds into the pure land, constantly washing it away.
The once peaceful and tranquil Pure Land gradually became tainted with a sense of violence and bloodshed.
A moment later, the Styx Ancestor led his entire group of disciples out from the blood mist and black clouds, and called out towards the Pure Land: "Ancestor has arrived! Ksitigarbha, why don't you come and pay your respects!"
"hehe……"
Ksitigarbha's soft laughter echoed from the Pure Land, and at the same time, he flew out from the depths of the Pure Land, stepping on a thousand-petaled golden lotus.
"Why is our ancestor here instead of seeking blessings in the Blood Sea?"
The Styx Ancestor sneered: "Ksitigarbha! Don't pretend to be stupid in front of the Ancestor..."
...
Lingshan.
Great Thunder Temple.
The Great Buddha Hall.
At this moment, the Buddha was sitting upright in the hall, explaining the Buddhist scriptures.
Inside the hall sat many eminent Buddhist figures.
Not only Guanyin and Manjushri Bodhisattva, but also Dipankara Buddha and Maitreya Buddha were in the hall.
Even Tang Sanzang and the Six-Eared Macaque were listening to the lecture in the hall at this time.
Suddenly, the Buddha abruptly stopped before he had finished expounding the Buddhist scriptures.
The Buddhist disciples, not knowing why this was happening, hurriedly looked up at the Buddha.
Ignoring the gazes of the crowd, the Buddha silently calculated for a moment, then suddenly frowned.
Seeing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva asked the Tathagata, "World Honored One! What has displeased you so much?"
The Buddha sighed and slowly said, "You are unaware that the Styx Ancestor has now emerged from the Blood Sea and led his troops to besiege the Pure Land of the Underworld. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is probably in grave danger at this moment!"
"Is that so? World Honored One, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has guarded the Netherworld for many years, gathering the Netherworld's fortune for Buddhism. We cannot stand by and watch Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva be humiliated by that Styx Ancestor!"
Kasyapa, a disciple of the Buddha, stepped forward and made the suggestion.
Upon hearing this, Tathagata nodded, turned to look at Dipankara Buddha, and said, "Next, I would like to ask you to select some disciples to lend a helping hand to Ksitigarbha."
"How could I dare disobey the World Honored One's command?!" Dipankara Buddha stood up and clasped his hands together.
Next, without any hesitation, he directly called out the names of Guanyin and others.
"...Next, I would like to ask you fellow Daoists to make the trip to the Underworld with me."
"We disciples obey the Buddha's decree!"
Then, a group of people rode the clouds and mist in a grand procession out of Mount Ling, entered the Netherworld, and flew straight towards the Pure Land where Ksitigarbha was hiding...
...
At this moment, the Styx Ancestor had already led his disciples into the Pure Land.
I wielded the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords and fought against Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
As for the other Asuras, led by Brahma and Shiva, they scattered throughout the Pure Land and began to sweep across it.
Wherever it went, countless Buddhist disciples were killed by the Blood Sea Great Law. Their essence and flesh were devoured by the Great Law, becoming nourishment for the Blood Sea Great Law.
As for Di Ting, it had already fled into the depths of the Pure Land, hiding in some secret corner, trembling with fear.
Although it is good at listening to people's hearts and is extremely spiritual, it is not good at fighting. Even if it encounters an ordinary Asura warrior, it may not be able to gain any advantage.
It certainly doesn't want to be caught and skinned alive...
With the help of the Buddhist fortune over the years, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. He has already severed one of his corpses and achieved the realm of a great supernatural being.
Even so, he was still far inferior to the Styx Ancestor.
After all, the Styx Ancestor had already severed two of his corpses, and was only a hair's breadth away from severing all three.
They were just waiting for an opportunity during this calamity, hoping to seize the Primordial Dao Fruit.
Therefore, after exchanging blows with Ksitigarbha for only a hundred or so rounds, Ksitigarbha could no longer hold on and was sent flying by a single sword strike.
A burst of blood erupted from his chest, splattering into the air, and his body plummeted towards the ground...
The Styx Ancestor was not prepared to let Ksitigarbha off so easily. He immediately opened his arms and transformed into a faint blood-red shadow, rushing towards Ksitigarbha.
He not only wanted to kill Ksitigarbha, but also to devour his magical power, primordial spirit, and even his physical body, in order to add a layer of foundation to his own Primordial Dao Fruit.
As a faint, strangely fragrant blood-red light approached, Ksitigarbha felt a chill run down his spine.
This is clearly the power of the Blood God Child. As a resident of the Underworld who frequently deals with the Asura lineage, Ksitigarbha is all too familiar with the power of the Blood God Child's divine ability.
He might not want to become nourishment for the Styx Ancestor's breakthrough to the Primordial Chaos realm.
So, before the blood shadow could get close, he had already transformed into a streak of red light and fled towards the outside of the Pure Land.
As for the Pure Land, and even the Buddhist disciples or deities within it, he no longer cared about them.
These are all external things; none of them are more important than one's own life...
"Hehehe..."
Seeing Ksitigarbha escape, Styx couldn't help but let out a strange laugh and immediately leaped forward with his sword to give chase.
However, before Ksitigarbha could escape the Netherworld, he was caught up by the Styx Ancestor from behind.
"Ksitigarbha! You actually think you can escape after falling into the hands of the Ancestor?! You're just too naive..."
"With our ancestor here, you will not escape death today!"
The Styx Ancestor looked smug, as if he had Ksitigarbha completely under his control.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sighed inwardly, "It seems I have no choice but to fight with all my might!"
Although he knew he was no match for the Styx Ancestor, he couldn't just sit and wait to die; he had no choice but to fight to the death...
However, at the critical moment, the sky suddenly opened up, radiating boundless auspicious light and auspicious energy.
One by one, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas emerged from the depths of auspicious light.
"Styx! How dare you!"
Dipankara Buddha shouted sternly.
"Hehe... I wondered who was making such a loud noise, it turns out to be you, you traitor."
Light the lamp! Light the lamp!
It's already an injustice of fate that a shameless scoundrel like you has managed to live this long.
However, since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep today, then this old ancestor might as well clean up the mess for that Primordial Lord!
When Dipankara Buddha's weakness was exposed, his expression turned cold and stern.
His apostasy is the biggest stain on his record, one that can never be washed away.
"Bah! You are nothing but a heretic, despised by the world, yet you dare to point fingers at this old monk. You are utterly ignorant." Ran Deng sneered.
"Hmph! What kind of Buddhist sect is this? It's just a bunch of treacherous and hypocritical scoundrels who dare to speak so arrogantly in front of the Ancestor."
A murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the Styx Ancestor, who wielded his twin swords and swiftly lunged towards the Buddha Dipankara...
