Chapter 910: The Blood Sea Array Traps Ksitigarbha! Death Is Liberation!

The moment Luo Fu sensed Ancestor Minghe's presence in Gai Jiuyou's Underworld, the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha would flee Gai Jiuyou's Underworld himself.

It was not that he feared Ancestor Minghe.

In the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha's eyes, Ancestor Minghe's most terrifying aspect was his identity as Lord of the Blood Sea; without the Blood Sea's reinforcement, he did not believe himself significantly weaker than Ancestor Minghe.

Of course, the brief clash just now had directly altered this view of the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha's—it had made him realize the gap between himself and an established powerhouse.

A mere Ancestor Minghe, no matter how strong, could not make the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha flee without fighting.

Without the aid of the Underworld Blood Sea, the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha believed that even if he could not defeat Ancestor Minghe, he could still escape.

What truly terrified the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha was the implication behind Ancestor Minghe's appearance.

With the deaths of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin, Buddhism would inevitably be carved up by the major forces of the Three Realms.

The major forces of the Three Realms had not yet moved because they were all waiting for someone else to strike first.

The first bird to fly gets shot; no one wanted to be the first to stick out.

Yet the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha had never anticipated that Ancestor Minghe had come this time with the Underworld Blood Sea to surround and kill him.

Splash!

The moment the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha's form landed, before he could continue using his Divine Skill of Shrinking Earth to Distance to escape Gai Jiuyou's Underworld,

Vast expanses of Blood Sea suddenly descended, sealing off all sides around him.

Instantly, the surrounding space froze solid; the Qi of Earth's Dao and the Dao of Reincarnation were both suppressed by the Blood Sea's Dao.

Faced with the Blood Sea's blockade, the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha's Divine Skill of Shrinking Earth to Distance instantly lost its effect.

"The Underworld Blood Sea? How is this possible? How could Pingxin Niangniang permit you to summon the Underworld Blood Sea within Gai Jiuyou's Underworld?"

Seeing the Underworld Blood Sea suddenly blocking his path, the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha's pupils shrank sharply, and for the first time, fear flickered in his eyes.

He had clashed with Ancestor Minghe many times before, always within the Underworld Blood Sea; the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha knew full well how terrifying Ancestor Minghe was when he could command the Underworld Blood Sea.

The reputation of standing against a Saint was no bluff—it had been witnessed firsthand by the Underworld Blood Sea.

He had stood beside and watched as Ancestor Minghe wielded the Blood Sea's power to confront Saint Zhunti.

But Gai Jiuyou's Underworld was Pingxin Niangniang's domain; the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha had never imagined Ancestor Minghe could summon the Underworld Blood Sea within Gai Jiuyou's Underworld.

"Have you allied with Pingxin Niangniang?"

Suddenly realizing a possibility, the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha could not help exclaiming.

"Correct. As a reward, taste the Blood Sea Array, old ancestor's style!"

Ancestor Minghe's chilling voice came from behind the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha.

The next instant, countless Blood Spirits emerged one by one, forming the Blood Sea Array and engulfing the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha within it.

Splash!

The towering Blood Sea began pouring down upon the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha.

These were not ordinary Blood Sea forces—they were purified Blood Sea forces, exquisitely bloody and filthy.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~~

The first to be struck was the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha's Golden Body behind him.

Under the erosion of the Blood Sea's force, the Golden Body melted like metal exposed to sulfuric acid.

Ancestor Minghe had no intention of prolonging the battle; after activating the Blood Sea Array, he unleashed the Lin Yuantu and Anbi swords.

With sharp, murderous light, the Lin Yuantu and Anbi swords slashed directly into the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha's Buddha Realm.

This was the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha's true foundation.

Crack!

The Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha was already struggling against the Blood Sea's erosion and had no spare strength to reinforce his Buddha Realm's defenses.

The Lin Yuantu and Anbi swords, inherently unmatched in slaughter, pierced straight through the Buddha Realm's protective barrier.

Splash!

Vast quantities of Blood Sea began flooding into the Buddha Realm.

Countless devotees were swept away by the Blood Sea and vanished without a trace.

Of course, these devotees were not directly devoured—they were sent by Ancestor Minghe to the Two Worlds Mountain.

As Luo Fu's puppet, Ancestor Minghe had long been imbued with Luo Fu's will.

For these mortal souls, Ancestor Minghe possessed the same compassion as Luo Fu.

As for the demons on the other side, they received no such mercy.

The twelve-petaled Lotus of Karmic Fire beneath his feet spun gently; boundless Karmic Fire, under Ancestor Minghe's control, descended directly into the black Buddha Realm.

Boundless sins immediately blazed fiercely.

Countless demons also caught fire.

Yet, in the eyes of these demons, there was no fear—only a sense of liberation.

Even for demons, boundless sins were an ultimate torment, a suffering far greater than death itself.

Likewise, choosing to be converted was also a torment.

All demons knew that once converted, they would lose their very selves completely.

Compared to enduring the torment of sins or becoming puppets by losing their selves, death meant nothing.

Yet, under the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha's control, the demons could not even commit suicide.

Thus, facing the burning of the Lotus of Karmic Fire, all demons chose not to resist.

Faced with the Blood Sea Array trapping him, the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha's expression turned grim, and deep in his eyes flickered a hint of despair.

Having witnessed Ancestor Minghe's might in the Blood Sea Array, standing firm against a Saint, the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha knew full well the terrifying power of the Blood Sea Array.

Under these circumstances, the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha could rely on no one but himself.

Suppressing all lingering doubts in his heart, the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha's eyes shed all emotion, leaving only resolute determination.

Having reached this realm and vowed to not become a Buddha until the hells are emptied, the Earth Store Bodhisattva has never lacked the courage to face death.

Having already fallen into the Blood Sea Array, if he could not break the array, there was no possibility of escape; the Earth Store Bodhisattva gathered all his thoughts, sat cross-legged in empty space, fused his mind with the Golden Body behind him, and vast Sanskrit chants resounded.

"Namo Amitabha Bhaya, Tathagata Bhaya, Tadyatha, Amitalokavati, Amita, Shidan Po Pi······"

The content of the Sanskrit chant was precisely the Earth Store Rebirth Sutra, self-created by the Earth Store Bodhisattva.

Combined with the Golden Body, the recitation of the Earth Store Rebirth Sutra seemed to carry a peculiar magic; within the Sanskrit chants, there appeared the voice of a Long Yin, evoking a sensation of deafening clarity and sudden enlightenment, compelling one to sink helplessly into it.

This was the famed Heavenly Dragon Zen Chant of the Naishifu Sect, aligned with the Path of Salvation, enabling the Sanskrit chants to pierce directly into the hearts of living beings and forcibly convert them.

The Earth Store Rebirth Sutra of the Earth Store Bodhisattva also originated from the Path of Salvation, traditionally using the meaning of rebirth to convert living beings; it was especially effective against ghosts and spirits, and also had considerable effect on ordinary living beings.

As soon as the Sanskrit chants began, many evil spirits emitted Buddhist light, clearly having been forcibly converted by the chants.
