Upon hearing Ksitigarbha mention Jieyin and Zhunti, the Styx Ancestor's expression grew even more gloomy.
Since Ksitigarbha didn't know what was good for him, he was too lazy to waste any more words on a junior.
"Go to Mount Sumeru? Heh... Today, I will capture you for the time being and see if Jieyin and Zhunti will come to my Blood Sea to rescue you."
Having said that, he no longer held back, raised his hand and pointed, a beam of blood-red light flew out and wrapped around Ksitigarbha.
Ksitigarbha hurriedly urged the Thousand-Petaled Golden Lotus beneath him, trying to escape, but the blood-red light suddenly exploded, directly transforming into a bolt of lightning that struck the Thousand-Petaled Golden Lotus.
With a loud bang.
The Thousand-Petaled Golden Lotus was instantly shattered by the crimson divine lightning, and Ksitigarbha himself was thrown away by the aftershock.
If it weren't for the Thousand-Petaled Golden Lotus first dissipating some of the power of the divine lightning, and the remaining portion being neutralized by the Golden Wheel of Merit behind his head, Ksitigarbha would probably have already perished under the divine lightning.
Even so, he was still shaken to his core, and his primordial spirit was almost blasted out of his ancestral aperture by the divine lightning.
Before he could regain his footing, the Styx Ancestor released another silken magical artifact, which flew over like lightning and bound him tightly.
Ultimately, the difference in their cultivation levels was too great, and Ksitigarbha had no chance of fighting back against the Styx Ancestor.
With a thought, the Styx Ancestor used the ribbon-like magical artifact to wrap up Ksitigarbha and fly towards him.
"Fellow Daoist Styx! It's not right for the strong to bully the weak."
Just as Ksitigarbha was about to fall into Styx's hands, a voice that Styx found somewhat familiar suddenly rang out from above.
He looked up and saw that Daoist Zhunti had appeared above him at some point.
"Zhunti! You've come at the perfect time! It saves the old ancestor the trouble of looking for you!"
When the Styx Ancestor saw that Zhunti had arrived, he shouted loudly.
"Oh? What brings you here, fellow Daoist?"
Zhunti Daoist smiled and shook the Seven Treasures Tree, which emitted a seven-colored ray of light that descended from the sky, swept up Ksitigarbha, and dragged him back to his side.
The Styx Ancestor did not stop it when he saw this.
"What? Heh... Wasn't this junior sent by you?"
The Styx Ancestor pointed at Ksitigarbha and demanded an explanation.
The Daoist Zhunti did not answer immediately, but instead pointed at Ksitigarbha, and the silk ribbon-like magical artifact binding Ksitigarbha immediately fell off.
"I've met you, teacher."
After regaining his freedom, Ksitigarbha was overjoyed and bowed to the Daoist Zhunti to greet him.
"You should return to your temple. I still have something to discuss with Fellow Daoist Styx," Master Zhunti instructed calmly.
"yes."
Ksitigarbha agreed, and a thousand-petaled golden lotus reappeared beneath his feet, carrying him towards the underworld.
After dismissing his disciple, Daoist Zhunti turned to Ancestor Styx and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, you really are something else. You are my disciple's senior, how could you lower yourself to attack him? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by your fellow Daoists if word gets out!"
The Styx Ancestor snorted coldly: "Hmph! Isn't this your and Jieyin's fault? If you hadn't sent him to my Blood Sea to collect my Asura people, why would I have attacked him!"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Zhunti shook his head slightly.
I feel that the Styx Ancestor's vision is far inferior to that of the Human Emperor in Heaven.
That human emperor had clearly achieved the status of Pangu, and his cultivation was so profound that he was no more powerful than the Styx Ancestor.
But he didn't keep clinging to the human race forever. He had already allowed the Xuanmen and the Western lineage to spread their teachings among the human race and to collect their incense offerings and vows.
Just like with the Demonic Path, they didn't deliberately target anyone either.
This is what we call the atmosphere.
But this Styx Ancestor, holding the Asura clan in his hands, has been preventing anyone else from interfering; he's incredibly stingy to the core...
“Fellow Daoist, although the Asuras were created by your own hands, they also have the freedom to choose to attain enlightenment.”
"It is their good fortune that my disciples are guiding them to my Western Paradise to practice the Great Law and enjoy ultimate bliss. Why should you stop them, fellow Daoist?" said Zhunti Daoist calmly.
"Hmph! My Asura clan has its own Great Dao, which can also lead to immortality and freedom. Why would we care about your Western methods!" Old Ancestor Styx sneered.
This Taoist Zhunti may have nice words, but once they convert the Asuras to the West and brainwash them, even their true selves will disappear, and they will directly become beasts of burden for the Western lineage.
On ordinary days, we should offer them incense and prayers.
When faced with calamity, they will be thrown out again to become ashes.
In any case, they won't end up in a good way.
The Asuras are, after all, his descendants; how could he stand by and watch them go astray...?
"Haha... It seems you look down on the Western Dao?" Zhunti Daoist sneered.
The Styx Ancestor may look down on him, but he cannot look down on the Western Dao.
"Hmph! Your Western Path is nothing but a heretical sect; what is there about it that would earn the respect of our Ancestor?"
The Styx Ancestor, naturally, would not back down and retorted directly.
He was confident in his immortality, so why would he be truly afraid of Daoist Zhunti?
"You bastard, Styx! How dare you insult my Western Dao! Today, I, this humble Daoist, will teach you a lesson and show you the power of my Western Dao!"
The Daoist Zhunti did not intend to come here peacefully.
After all, if they couldn't subdue the Styx Ancestor, how could they possibly deal with the Asura clan next...?
"Hmph! You really think the old ancestor is afraid of you?!"
As the Styx Ancestor spoke, the Avici Sword appeared in his hand.
Without saying another word, Daoist Zhunti took a step forward and appeared in front of Ancestor Styx, raising the Seven Treasures Tree and sweeping it over.
The Styx Ancestor raised his sword to meet the attack, and the two immediately engaged in a fierce battle above the sea of blood...
The Pure Land of Qinghua in the Easternmost Point.
Guan Kong also sensed the battle above the sea of blood. After releasing his divine sense to investigate, he saw that it was Zhunti Daoist fighting with Styx Ancestor.
She couldn't help but shake her head slightly.
You have to understand, these two are not people he can handle.
As long as they don't come to her sanctuary and cause trouble...
...
The battle between the two intensified, causing the sea of blood below to surge with enormous waves.
Hu Le's incarnation, Indra, was cultivating demonic arts in the Taoist palace when the entire palace suddenly began to shake violently.
He quickly finished his cultivation, got up and left the Dao Palace. After releasing his divine sense to investigate, he immediately discovered the movement above the sea of blood.
Indra pointed a finger at his foot, and a tiny speck of blood-red light, the size of a bean, fell from his fingertip. Upon landing, it quickly transformed into a blood-red lotus flower, emitting a strange fragrance.
He stepped onto the lotus and urged it to fly towards the sky above the sea of blood.
On the way, they encountered Brahma and his group. It seemed that, like him, they had also discovered the battle above the sea of blood.
After the group reunited, they ascended and soon emerged from the Sea of Blood. They witnessed Daoist Zhunti wielding the Seven Treasures Tree to shatter the protective lotus flower released by the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, which then struck the Styx Ancestor.
Ancestor Styx stumbled and fell directly off the Red Lotus of Karmic Fire.
The Daoist Zhunti caught up and, wielding the Seven Treasures Tree, sent the Styx Ancestor tumbling backward...
