Chapter 585: The Arrogance of the Nether Blood Sea! The Disdain of an Old-School Great Power

Only Ancestor Minghe was completely unaffected by the Great Calamity.

In the Primordial Era, the Nether Blood Sea was already seized by Ancestor Minghe.

Even now, the Nether Blood Sea is still held by Ancestor Minghe.

If in the Primordial Era Ancestor Minghe could seize the Nether Blood Sea,

it was because the Nether Blood Sea was too useless—other major powers simply didn't care for it.

But now, Ancestor Minghe holds the Nether Blood Sea because he is strong enough.

Strong enough that even the Saints struggle to deal with him.

In today's Three Realms, the Naishifu Sect reigns supreme.

Among the many great powers of the Three Realms, the Naishifu Sect is the most greedy and shameless—anything of value, they covet.

The Nether Blood Sea is not truly without value.

In fact, since the Nether Underworld appeared, the Nether Blood Sea has become extremely valuable.

As part of the Nether Underworld, seizing the Nether Blood Sea would allow one to use it as a springboard to more easily erode the Nether Underworld and seize its authority.

The authority of the Nether Underworld represents karmic merit.

Merit is extremely useful even to Saints.

Therefore, for all the powers of the Three Realms, if they could seize the Nether Blood Sea, they would not hesitate.

Over the years, many factions have set their sights on the Nether Blood Sea.

Among them was the Naishifu Sect.

Among the Naishifu Sect's famed Eight Divisions, one is the Asura Division, composed of asuras converted by the Naishifu Sect.

Given the Naishifu Sect's shamelessness, when dealing with Ancestor Minghe, if the chance arose, Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin would not hesitate to overpower the weak and strike him themselves.

In fact, Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin did indeed attack Ancestor Minghe.

But they failed to subdue him.

It was that battle that fully cemented the reputation: "As long as the Blood Sea does not dry, Ancestor Minghe cannot die."

Precisely because of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin's shamelessness, Ancestor Minghe was forced to remain holed up in the Nether Blood Sea.

This also meant that, although Ancestor Minghe was powerful,

few in the Three Realms had heard his name.

"How utterly overbearing—the Nether Blood Sea isn't yours alone, why can't I come?"

Luo Fu hovered above the blood sea, replying with equal disregard.

Luo Fu had no intention of being courteous to Ancestor Minghe.

In the Primordial World, Luo Fu had already subdued Ancestor Minghe once.

If Ancestor Minghe refuses to show respect, Luo Fu has no objection to subduing him again.

"You're right—the Nether Blood Sea is still my domain. Haven't you heard my name?"

Seeing Luo Fu speak so disrespectfully, Ancestor Minghe's expression darkened.

Though Luo Fu's abilities were formidable, he had risen to fame far too late.

Thus, in Ancestor Minghe's eyes, Luo Fu was merely a junior.

A mere junior could never command Ancestor Minghe's respect.

As for power and skill—within the Nether Blood Sea, even Saints could be resisted. Below the Saint realm, no one was worthy of Ancestor Minghe's notice.

He could speak insolently; a junior could not.

Luo Fu's tone, in Ancestor Minghe's view, was an outright insult.

To be insulted—given Ancestor Minghe's status and temper—how could he offer a good face?

As Ancestor Minghe's expression changed, the surrounding blood sea began to churn violently.

Massive waves of crimson blood slammed against the island's walls, thundering with deafening roars.

"Heh, truly overbearing!"

Sensing Ancestor Minghe's attitude, Luo Fu's lips curled into a cold sneer.

Had he not been in the Journey to the West World, Luo Fu would have already crushed Ancestor Minghe with a single palm.

He and this blood-soaked, monster-like Ancestor Minghe had nothing worth discussing.

While in the Journey to the West World, Luo Fu did not wish to reveal too much before fully understanding the hidden depths of the great cultivators here, lest he alert them.

The Nether Blood Sea is not like the Six Paths of Rebirth.

The Six Paths of Rebirth are entirely controlled by the Earth Dao, and when deliberately concealed, the Heaven Dao can barely perceive what occurs within.

The Nether Blood Sea is different.

The entire Nether Blood Sea is vast and boundless.

Moreover, the Nether Blood Sea may conceal extremely important secrets.

This means that, even for Luo Fu, completely sealing off the Nether Blood Sea is no simple matter.

Within a world, the Heaven Dao is nearly invincible—even a Heaven Dao-level Chaos Divine Demon cannot stand against the Heaven Dao within its own world.

Luo Fu is not yet Hunyuan; to fully evade the Heaven Dao is truly difficult.

Although upon entering the Nether Blood Sea, Luo Fu had already unleashed the Chaos Pearl to seal the entire sea,

the Chaos Pearl can only suppress ordinary disturbances—if Luo Fu caused too great a commotion, even the Chaos Pearl might not contain it.

As long as the Blood Sea does not dry, Ancestor Minghe cannot die.

Within the blood sea, Ancestor Minghe is effectively half a Saint—this is not boasting, but fact.

To crush him with a single palm would require at least Hunyuan-level power.

A Hunyuan-level disturbance would inevitably awaken the Heaven Dao.

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

Precisely because of this, Luo Fu did not strike at Ancestor Minghe the moment he entered the Nether Blood Sea.

"I came to the Nether Blood Sea not for anything else, but merely to visit the island beneath Ancestor Minghe's feet. I wonder if Ancestor Minghe would grant me permission."

Without further words, Luo Fu directly stated his purpose.

"Visit the Ancestor's island?"

Upon hearing Luo Fu's request, Ancestor Minghe's previously gloomy expression turned even darker; deep in his eyes, a faint tinge of blood appeared, along with a shock barely concealed.

The island beneath his feet was no ordinary island.

Ancestor Minghe had established his palace here not by chance, but deliberately.

The island before him was barren, nearly devoid of spiritual energy, and held no trace of Dao resonance.

It utterly failed to match Ancestor Minghe's status as a great transcendent.
