Chapter 373
As a veteran great being with divine powers in the Three Realms, with Old Ancestor Styx's strength, as long as he wanted to.
Any blessed land or cave in the Three Realms, as long as it was not a Saint's dojo or the dojo of other veteran great beings with divine powers, he had the qualifications and strength to occupy it.
He could even move directly to the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld.
But Old Ancestor Styx had chosen the island before him.
And judging from the traces, Old Ancestor Styx had occupied this place for a very long time.
Being able to let Old Ancestor Styx occupy it for so long, the seemingly ordinary island before him must be extremely special.
In fact, this was indeed the case.
The island before him was not simple.
To be precise, it was not an island, but a mountain.
A giant mountain that shot straight from the deepest part of the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld to the surface of the Sea of Blood.
The Sea of Blood of the Netherworld was not an ordinary sea, but the most filthy and ominous boundless Sea of Blood in the Three Realms.
It was filled with endless baleful energy, as well as the resentment left behind by the deaths of thousands of living beings.
Even ordinary immortal treasures and magic treasures, if they fell into the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld, would be eroded away before long.
Therefore, apart from the mountain before him, there was not a single mountain or island in the entire Sea of Blood of the Netherworld.
Ordinary mountains and islands simply could not withstand the erosion of the Sea of Blood.
The only things that could withstand the erosion of the Sea of Blood were the depths of the Sea of Blood.
The Asura Clan created by Old Ancestor Styx mostly lived in the depths of the Sea of Blood, or in cities Old Ancestor Styx had specifically created for the Asura Clan.
Just by being able to withstand the erosion of the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld for countless years, and connecting the depths of the Sea of Blood to the surface.
The mountain before him was not ordinary.
Besides that, the location of this mountain was the center of the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld, which contained the origin of the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld.
Just by containing the origin of the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld, Old Ancestor Styx could not allow outsiders to visit the mountain before him.
The Sea of Blood of the Netherworld was his foundation, his forbidden area.
Even a Saint would not be allowed by Old Ancestor Styx to touch the origin of the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld.
In addition to containing the origin of the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld, the mountain before him also contained another secret.
This secret was known only to Old Ancestor Styx and Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
It was precisely because of this secret that when Luo Fu mentioned wanting to visit the island, Old Ancestor Styx's expression became extremely ugly.
If it were only the secret of containing the origin of the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld.
Old Ancestor Styx could just directly refuse Luo Fu's request. He didn't even need to refuse; he could just take action to drive him away.
The Three Realms knew that the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld was Old Ancestor Styx's forbidden area.
Luo Fu coveting the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld, and Old Ancestor Styx attacking him, could not be more reasonable.
But because it involved another secret, Old Ancestor Styx could not help but become a bit more serious and cautious.
"The island beneath the Old Ancestor's feet is the forbidden area of my Asura Clan, and any outsider is forbidden from visiting. The Old Ancestor is not familiar with you, fellow Daoist, and the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld does not welcome outsiders; leave the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld immediately."
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Old Ancestor Styx's expression became cold, and he spoke without a hint of emotion.
If it were anyone else proposing to visit, Old Ancestor Styx would only take it as a provocation.
Luo Fu was different; he was simply too mysterious.
His strength was extremely powerful, yet he seemed to have popped out of thin air, suddenly appearing in the Three Realms.
Old Ancestor Styx could not figure out Luo Fu's attitude and purpose.
Therefore, Old Ancestor Styx did not take action immediately, but chose to drive the guest away.
"The forbidden area of the Asura Clan? I'm afraid it's not just a simple forbidden area; you and I both know the secrets here, so why must you be so evasive, Fellow Daoist Styx?"
Luo Fu looked at Old Ancestor Styx and said in a deep voice.
This was, of course, Luo Fu bluffing Old Ancestor Styx.
Because his perception was blocked, Luo Fu did not know what secrets lay beneath the mountain before the great being with divine powers.
Whether it was the same as the Primordial World, hiding a mysterious space filled with the remains of Chaos Gods and Demons.
But since the mountain before him could block his perception, it must hide a significant secret.
Therefore, although Luo Fu was bluffing Old Ancestor Styx, his tone was extremely serious and certain.
"What are you talking about, fellow Daoist? The Old Ancestor does not understand; the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld does not welcome you. If you do not leave, fellow Daoist, the Old Ancestor will have to take action personally to drive you away."
Hearing Luo Fu's bluff, Old Ancestor Styx's heart was stirred like ten thousand waves.
Old Ancestor Styx could still hear the seriousness and certainty in Luo Fu's tone.
It was precisely because he could hear it that Old Ancestor Styx was exceptionally shocked.
The secret Luo Fu had just mentioned was the greatest secret of the entire Sea of Blood of the Netherworld and was extremely important to Old Ancestor Styx.
Originally, Old Ancestor Styx thought that wanting to visit was just something Luo Fu had mentioned casually.
Luo Fu coming to the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld had some other purpose, or was simply to get his hands on the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld.
After all, that secret, apart from him, was only known to the Dao Ancestor.
Even Saints were completely ignorant of this secret.
Although Luo Fu was mysterious, it was very difficult for Luo Fu to have a channel to know a secret that even Saints did not know.
Therefore, Old Ancestor Styx had actually just been acting out of his usual caution, thinking of using words to divert Luo Fu's attention.
But he never expected that Old Ancestor Styx would actually know the so-called secret and mention it bluntly.
A cyan-green brilliance appeared at Old Ancestor Styx's cuffs, and Old Ancestor Styx's gaze was fixed on Luo Fu, as a trace of dangerous aura began to permeate.
Old Ancestor Styx was waiting for Luo Fu to react.
Once Luo Fu's reaction was not to his liking, Old Ancestor Styx would choose to take action without hesitation.
Old Ancestor Styx was very wary of Luo Fu's strength.
If Luo Fu chose to leave the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld now, it would mean that Luo Fu did not know much about that secret.
Then Old Ancestor Styx would just pretend he hadn't heard what Luo Fu had just said.
But if Luo Fu insisted on exposing that secret, then Old Ancestor Styx would not be polite.
The Sea of Blood of the Netherworld was Old Ancestor Styx's home field; even if a Saint came to the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld, they would not get much benefit.
Luo Fu was merely a Quasi-Saint, and Old Ancestor Styx was confident that he could suppress Luo Fu at the cost of paying a certain price.
As for how much Luo Fu knew about that secret, he could ask slowly after Old Ancestor Styx suppressed him.
"Sure enough, we have to have a fight; no more nonsense, let's see the real skills in action."
Looking at Old Ancestor Styx, who was exuding a dangerous aura, Luo Fu had no intention of continuing the nonsense.
Luo Fu had long known that with Old Ancestor Styx's personality, the two of them would inevitably have to fight.
"Good, very good. Let the Old Ancestor learn just how much ability the Daoist Luo Fu, who has just become famous in the Three Realms, really has."
Hearing Luo Fu's impolite words, Old Ancestor Styx could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
Splash!
The billions of miles of the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld began to churn with thousands of waves, re-submerging the island beneath Old Ancestor Styx's feet.
Along with the island, countless Asuras were also submerged.
Old Ancestor Styx hovered above the Sea of Blood out of thin air.
Countless blood-baleful energies began to gather and condense around Old Ancestor Styx, and soon formed an incredibly oppressive blood cloud.
This blood cloud covered the sky and the sun, connecting to the Nine Netherworld void above and the Sea of Blood of the Netherworld below, with thick blood-baleful energy rolling and surging within it.
Like a bloody giant beast standing on the sea, it was opening its huge, blood-red mouth, wanting to choose someone to
devour.
