Chapter 372

After recognizing Luo Fu's identity, Old Ancestor Styx could not help but frown and said in a cold tone.

There was not the slightest courtesy in his words, and there was even a hint of questioning.

Other great beings with divine powers in the Three Realms might fear Luo Fu.

After all, Luo Fu had previously displayed the tyrannical means of suppressing Tathagata between his palms. Most of the great beings with divine powers in the Three Realms were weaker than Tathagata.

Luo Fu could suppress Tathagata, so he could naturally suppress them with ease.

Moreover, Luo Fu had suppressed Tathagata without the slightest hesitation in front of the Saint Zhunti.

He was clearly a domineering character.

Facing such a character who could easily suppress or even kill them, and who might also be unreasonable, how could the great beings with divine powers in the Three Realms not be afraid?

But Old Ancestor Styx was different; from his tone just now, it could be seen that not only did he have no fear of Luo Fu, but he even held a hint of contempt.

Of course, Old Ancestor Styx also had the capital to look down on Luo Fu.

As early as the ancient times, Old Ancestor Styx was already a top-tier great being with divine powers.

Because of his occupation of the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld, Old Ancestor Styx even claimed to the outside world that "the Sea of Blood never dries, and Styx never dies."

If Old Ancestor Styx in the Primordial World raising the banner of "the Sea of Blood never dries, and Styx never dies" could be considered puffing himself up to look like a giant.

Then Old Ancestor Styx in the Journey to the West world had truly realized this statement.

From the ancient Primordial times to the current Three Realms, he had experienced the struggles of several Great Calamities.

The rulers of the Three Realms, apart from the six Saints, had almost changed batch after batch.

From the Wu Clan and Demon Race of the ancient times, to the Human Race during the period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and later, there were also the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect.

Even the Saint sects had declined under the struggles of various parties.

Only Old Ancestor Styx had not been affected by the Great Calamity at all.

During the ancient Primordial period, the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld was occupied by Old Ancestor Styx.

Nowadays, the one occupying the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld is still Old Ancestor Styx.

If Old Ancestor Styx could occupy the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld during the ancient times.

It was because the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld was too much of a "chicken rib" that other major forces did not care for it.

Then, nowadays, the reason Old Ancestor Styx can occupy the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld is because he is strong enough.

Strong enough that even Saints find it difficult to do anything about him.

The current Three Realms are dominated by Buddhism.

Among the many major forces in the Three Realms, Buddhism is the most greedy and shameless; as long as something has value, Buddhism will take a fancy to it.

The Sea of Blood of the Netherworld is not truly without value.

In fact, ever since the Netherworld appeared, the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld has become extremely valuable.

As a part of the Netherworld, if one could occupy the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld, one could use it as a springboard to more conveniently erode the Netherworld and seize the authority of the Netherworld.

The authority of the Netherworld represents the merit of reincarnation.

Merit is extremely useful even for Saints.

Therefore, for the many forces in the Three Realms, if they could occupy the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld, they would absolutely not be polite.

Over the years, quite a few forces have had designs on the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld.

Among them is Buddhism.

Among the famous Eight Legions of Buddhism, there is one, the Asura Legion, which is composed of Asuras converted by Buddhism.

With the degree of shamelessness of Buddhism, when attacking Old Ancestor Styx, if there were an opportunity, Zhunti and Jieyin would absolutely not mind bullying the weak with their strength and personally taking action against Old Ancestor Styx.

In fact, Zhunti and Jieyin have indeed taken action against Old Ancestor Styx.

It is just that they were unable to do anything to Old Ancestor Styx.

It was precisely that battle that completely solidified the reputation of "the Sea of Blood never dries, and Styx never dies."

And it was precisely because of the shamelessness of Zhunti and Jieyin that Old Ancestor Styx had to keep shrinking back into the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld.

This also meant that although Old Ancestor Styx was powerful.

Not many people in the Three Realms had heard his name.

"You are truly domineering; the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld does not belong to you alone, Styx, so why can't I come?"

Luo Fu's figure hovered above the Sea of Blood, and he replied in a tone that was not polite at all.

Luo Fu would not be too polite toward Old Ancestor Styx.

In the Primordial World, Luo Fu had already suppressed Old Ancestor Styx once.

If Old Ancestor Styx did not know what was good for him, Luo Fu would not mind suppressing Old Ancestor Styx again.

"You are right, the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld is indeed the Old Ancestor's home; have you not heard of the Old Ancestor's name?"

Seeing Luo Fu speak so impolitely, Old Ancestor Styx's expression could not help but darken.

Although the means Luo Fu displayed were extremely tyrannical, because Luo Fu had become famous somewhat late.

Therefore, in Old Ancestor Styx's eyes, Luo Fu was just a junior.

A mere junior, of course, could not make Old Ancestor Styx take him seriously.

As for strength and means, being in the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld, he could even contend with Saints. Below the level of a Saint, no one could be held in any regard by Old Ancestor Styx.

He could be insolent, but as a junior, Luo Fu could not.

Luo Fu's tone just now was, in Old Ancestor Styx's view, an offense to him.

Being offended, with Old Ancestor Styx's status and temper, how could he have a good expression?

Following the change in Old Ancestor Styx's face, the surrounding Sea of Blood began to churn violently.

Huge blood-colored waves slapped against the island walls, emitting deafening sounds.

"Heh, you are truly domineering!"

Sensing Old Ancestor Styx's attitude, Luo Fu could not help but curl his lips into a cold smile.

If it weren't for the fact that he was in the Journey to the West world, Luo Fu would have already suppressed Old Ancestor Styx with a flip of his palm.

He had nothing to talk about with Old Ancestor Styx, who was like an old monster with a thick, bloody aura.

Being in the Journey to the West world, without having figured out the details of the great beings with divine powers in the Journey to the West world, Luo Fu did not want to expose too many things, so as not to startle the snake.

The Sea of Blood of the Netherworld was not the same as the land of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The land of the Six Paths of Reincarnation was completely controlled by the Earthly Dao, and under deliberate concealment, the Heavenly Dao could hardly perceive what was happening in the land of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The Sea of Blood of the Netherworld was different.

The entire Sea of Blood of the Netherworld was extremely vast and boundless.

Moreover, the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld might also contain extremely important secrets.

This meant that wanting to completely seal the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld, even for Luo Fu, was not something that could be done casually.

Being in the world, the Heavenly Dao could almost be considered invincible; even a Chaos God or Demon at the Heavenly Dao level could not be a match for the Heavenly Dao within the world.

Luo Fu was not even at the Hunyuan level yet, so wanting to completely deceive the Heavenly Dao was truly somewhat difficult.

Although as soon as he entered the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld, Luo Fu had already sacrificed the Chaos Bead to seal the entire Sea of Blood of the Netherworld.

But the Chaos Bead could only seal ordinary movements; if the movements Luo Fu made were too large, even the Chaos Bead might not be able to seal them.

The Sea of Blood never dries, and Styx never dies.

Being in the Sea of Blood, Old Ancestor Styx was equivalent to half a Saint; this was not bragging, but a fact.

Wanting to suppress him with a flip of his palm, the movements caused would at least have to reach the Hunyuan level.

Movements at the Hunyuan level would inevitably alarm the Heavenly Dao.

Alarming the Heavenly Dao was clearly not what Luo Fu wanted.

Precisely because of this, Luo Fu did not take action against Old Ancestor Styx as soon as he entered the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld.

"I came to the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld for no other reason than to visit the island beneath your feet, Fellow Daoist Styx; I wonder if you can allow it, Fellow Daoist Styx."

Without further nonsense, Luo Fu directly stated his purpose.

"Visit the Old Ancestor's island?"

Hearing Luo Fu's request, Old Ancestor Styx's previously dark expression became even uglier, and a hint of blood color even appeared in the depths of his eyes, along with a trace of deeply hidden shock.

The island beneath his feet was not an ordinary island.

Old Ancestor Styx setting up his palace here was not a coincidence, but intentional.

The island before him was bare, with almost no spiritual energy, and it did not contain any Dao rhyme.

It did not fit Old Ancestor Styx's status as a great being with divine powers at all.
