Chapter 264: Minghe Seeks to Destroy the Six Paths of Reincarnation, His Trump Card: the Sea of Blood Pagoda!

Old Ancestor Minghe's eyes were about to burst, he was simply dying of anger.

Before his words even fell, he already carried an overwhelming momentum, directly appearing before Chen Ku and the others.

Behind him, countless Shura Clan beings followed, each heavy with killing intent, making anyone who looked feel a chill in their heart.

"Hou Tu, don't even think about establishing that so‑called reincarnation here!"

Old Ancestor Minghe was extremely violent.

As soon as he appeared, he couldn't help but shout in anger.

Then, immediately after, he directly attacked.

Blood‑fiend qi surged across the sky, covering the heavens and earth, stirring up a tremendous terror.

Boundless might pressed down in waves, seeking to destroy that kind of Dao rhythm in the darkness, namely the rhythm of reincarnation.

In other words, Old Ancestor Minghe's move was to destroy reincarnation and prevent its true formation.

This sudden change made Hong Yun's face change dramatically, and she was shocked.

"Minghe Dao Friend, why……

Hong Yun exclaimed.

You should know that at this moment, all beings in heaven and earth were worshipping Hou Tu, praising his benevolence to all beings, even sacrificing their own noble righteousness.

Yet Minghe dared to emerge, seeking to stop reincarnation?!

Isn't this defying the greatest taboo under heaven?!

But at this moment, Old Ancestor Minghe was already beyond anger.

He completely ignored Hong Yun's words, revealing an unprecedentedly fierce side.

Seeing this, Chen Ku reacted extremely quickly.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, Chen Ku also attacked without hesitation.

He unleashed a palm, and the Tathagata Divine Palm displayed tremendous divine might.

Boom!

In an instant, the Tathagata Divine Palm fell, and Old Ancestor Minghe's body jerked to a halt, unable to advance even a fraction.

As for the many Shura Clan beings, they were already dazed by Chen Ku's radiant Buddha light, frozen in place, hesitating and not daring to act.

After doing all this, Chen Ku's gaze became deep, with a hint of menace as he looked at Old Ancestor Minghe.

"Alas… Minghe, why go to such lengths?!"

Chen Ku sighed and said thus.

In fact, Chen Ku had anticipated this, which is why he could react so swiftly to block Old Ancestor Minghe's move.

Hearing Chen Ku's words, Old Ancestor Minghe's face grew even darker.

"Chen Ku, you dare to question this old one?!"

"Hmph, you once seized my Twelve‑Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus without a word."

"Moreover, you brought Hong Yun here to liberate the resentful souls in my Sea of Blood."

"Each of these actions weakens my origin."

"And if reincarnation is completed today, the foundation of my Sea of Blood will be destroyed in an instant."

"Even if you are a disciple of a sage, you cannot bully others to this extent."

Old Ancestor Minghe said this, furious and exasperated.

Every word was like a blood‑stained accusation.

Frustrated!

Too frustrated!

To Old Ancestor Minghe, Chen Ku was basically grabbing him and squeezing him to death.

Before all this, Minghe endured in silence, which was tolerable.

But with reincarnation about to be established, Minghe felt an unprecedented great danger.

Once reincarnation appears, the entire endless Sea of Blood will be completely destroyed.

By then, Minghe's foundation would cease to exist.

The saying 'the Sea of Blood never dries, Minghe never dies' will ultimately become a joke.

How could Old Ancestor Minghe possibly continue to endure?!

Therefore, even knowing Chen Ku's strength, Minghe could not help but attack directly.

Watching this scene, and then hearing Old Ancestor Minghe's words,

Among heaven and earth, countless mighty figures also couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hehe, speaking of which, this Old Ancestor Minghe is really pitiful."

"Who says otherwise? Minghe has always remained hidden, cultivating diligently."

"Who would have thought he'd be targeted by Chen Ku, that harbinger of doom?"

"Um… as Old Ancestor Minghe said, Chen Ku's actions are indeed rather shameless."

"Isn't this just bullying an honest person?!"

"Huh? You're saying Old Ancestor Minghe is an honest person?"

Beings shook their heads and laughed, discussing this at length.

Asking oneself, if one were to take Old Ancestor Minghe's place, one would probably have died of frustration long ago.

Even some strong ones couldn't hide it, their words also calling Chen Ku shameless.

Of course, Chen Ku paid no heed to such talk among beings.

Shameless?!

Shameless?!

Such words, having been heard throughout his upbringing, had long become commonplace to him.

Or rather, if Chen Ku truly cared about the opinions of all beings, he could not have attained his present strength and status.

Moreover, none of this is known to outsiders; only he himself knows it!

Therefore, his face remained unchanged, his heart unmoved.

In the arena, Chen Ku merely stared at the Nether River Old Ancestor.

"Ah, suffering, suffering......"

"Fellow Daoist Houtu performed such a righteous deed, yet no one understands it."

Chen Ku first sighed, seemingly feeling somewhat unjust on behalf of Houtu.

Then, he adopted a persuasive tone and said to the Nether River Old Ancestor:

"Nether River Fellow Daoist, I previously promised to grant you a great opportunity as repayment for the karmic fire red lotus."

"And today, Houtu has embodied reincarnation with her body; this is precisely your great opportunity!"

"You must know, Fellow Daoist Houtu's act is to bless all beings of heaven and earth; it is a great virtue, and will surely earn endless merit."

"Since reincarnation is established in the Sea of Blood, you, Nether River Fellow Daoist, will naturally receive a share."

Chen Ku appeared quite earnest and heavy-hearted.

After a pause, he thought of more and continued:

"Moreover, once reincarnation is established, there will be the Six Paths!"

"At that time, your Asura clan may also enter the Six Paths and become guardians of one of the Six Paths."

"By then, although you will have lost some of the Sea of Blood's foundation, you will be able to continually reap more merit."

"Isn't this wonderful?!"

Chen Ku's tone was calm.

"The so-called Six Paths are the heavenly deity path, the Asura path, the human path, the animal path, the hungry ghost path, and the hell path."

All this will naturally appear once the Underworld is established.

Therefore, Chen Ku's premature disclosure now does not count as leaking heavenly secrets.

These words can also be said to have already pointed out the future direction for the Nether River Old Ancestor.

But as soon as his words fell, the Nether River Old Ancestor immediately retorted angrily:

"Don't spout nonsense here."

"Hah, don't even think about deceiving me with talk of being one of the Six Paths."

The Nether River Old Ancestor waved his hand, completely disbelieving Chen Ku's words.

Firstly, the so-called path of reincarnation is unprecedented, making all beings feel unfamiliar.

Secondly, since reincarnation has not yet taken shape, how dare Chen Ku speak so definitively about the Six Paths?!

How can anyone believe this?!

Moreover, Chen Ku's reputation among beings has never been particularly good.

Therefore, the Nether River needs no further thought; it directly concludes that Chen Ku is merely spouting nonsense, trying to deceive him.

Hearing the Nether River's words, Chen Ku's face showed a bitter expression.

How come... even when I speak the truth, the Nether River doesn't believe me?!

But shortly thereafter, Chen Ku also felt relieved.

Houtu has just sacrificed her body to become reincarnation, and it hasn't even fully taken shape yet.

It is only natural that beings do not understand or trust it.

In fact, even after reincarnation is established, beings will still need some time to comprehend it.

It seems persuading the Nether River Old Ancestor is unlikely to work.

"Sigh......"

This day could be called one where Chen Ku's suffering exceeded the limit.

He simply stopped speaking further, his gaze calmly fixed on the Nether River.

"In that case, Nether River Fellow Daoist, are you insisting on proceeding?!"

He asked softly.

As soon as his words fell, the Nether River Old Ancestor's expression turned cold and severe, unmoved.

"Today, this so-called reincarnation shall not be formed!"

By speaking thus, he declared his resolve.

To obstruct the formation of reincarnation, he strives to preserve the endless Sea of Blood.

Chen Ku was not surprised by this.

"Enough!"

"If that is the case, I cannot allow you to destroy reincarnation."

"Then there is nothing left but battle."

As Chen Ku's words fell, his surroundings were instantly swept up in waves of mighty aura, captivating hearts and minds.

This sight made the beings' expressions turn grim.

Chen Ku thus appeared ready to defend Houtu's path, even willing to be drawn in and fight the Nether River again.

For a moment, the beings involuntarily showed a knowing smile.

Chen Ku this fellow, although his usual conduct is somewhat "shameless".

But he is quite skilled at winning the hearts of beauties.

In the past, for Xihe and Changxi, he did not hesitate to clash head-on with the numerous powerhouses of the Demon Court.

Today, for Hou Tu, he must again wage furious battle against the Old Ancestor Minghe.

If Hou Tu were to learn of this, who knows how moved she would be.

Of course, there are also some mighty beings with solemn expressions.

They know that Chen Ku's move is certainly not just to win beauties' hearts.

More importantly, this is an opportunity to share the merit of reincarnation.

However, ordinary powerhouses wanting to intervene still lack the qualification.

Amidst the differing thoughts of all beings.

In the Sea of Blood, Minghe has also exhausted his patience, no longer wasting words.

"Today, I will fight you to the death!"

He let out a furious roar.

Thereafter, Minghe suddenly struck.

He did not directly attack and kill Chen Ku.

After all, in terms of personal strength, Minghe has long ceased to be a match for Chen Ku; this was already proven long ago.

Only saw Minghe forming hand seals, releasing strand after strand of profound and mysterious Dao resonance.

For a moment, the vital energy surged tumultuously within the endless Sea of Blood.

The blood-killing aura of millions of zhang surged, covering the sky and earth, spanning the heavens.

Rumble...

At this moment, all beings clearly heard the sound of surging great rivers echoing repeatedly, deafening.

Moreover, under Minghe's manipulation, the blood-killing aura filling the sky intertwined and fluctuated, rising and transforming.

Not long after, vast tracts of formation traces actually appeared.

At the same time, the Old Ancestor Minghe's explosive shout also rang out once again.

"Sea of Blood Grand Formation!"

A peerless grand formation suddenly manifested within the Sea of Blood.

The formation's momentum was vast, its profundity obscure and elusive, its changes unfathomable.

But its terrifying might is beyond doubt.

Simply sensing the circulating vital energy within it made all beings feel their hair stand on end, hearts pounding with fear.

Meanwhile, Minghe stood within the formation.

Immediately thereafter, under the formation's aura bolstering, Minghe's aura began to rise steadily and rapidly.

In the past, emulating Nüwa, he created the Asura race, merely causing his cultivation to break through to the late Quasi-Saint stage.

But today, with the formation in operation, Minghe's aura surged forward all the way.

In but a short moment, his realm fluctuation directly reached the peak of the Quasi-Saint.

In an instant, the aura of the Quasi-Saint peak erupted, sweeping across the nine heavens and ten earths, startling countless beings.

In a daze, Minghe's might even eclipsed everything.

Beholding this scene, all beings were filled with astonishment and disbelief.

"Hiss... Sea of Blood Grand Formation?!"

"The Old Ancestor Minghe actually still has such a means."

"I originally thought that those 1,399,600,000 Blood God Sons were Minghe's greatest divine ability."

"But looking at it now, the power of this Sea of Blood Grand Formation is clearly even greater."

"This Old Ancestor Minghe truly hides his depth well."

"This formation mobilizes the entirety of the Sea of Blood's power, truly bringing the advantage of terrain to its utmost."

All beings could not help but exclaim in awe.

From time immemorial, they have never witnessed Minghe the Old Ancestor employing such a formation technique.

Therefore, it can be said to be an unprecedented tremendous shock.

At the same time, the might of the Sea of Blood Grand Formation also left all beings no choice but to marvel repeatedly, secretly clicking their tongues.

"That Minghe has already gone completely berserk, sparing nothing."

"In that case, Chen Ku probably has little reason for optimism."

Immediately afterward, another mighty being sighed in this way.

Instantly, it caused countless cultivators to secretly nod in agreement.

Although Chen Ku is very strong, being a rare Primordial Golden Immortal powerhouse in the Primordial Era, Minghe after all is at the peak of the Quasi-Saint.

On the surface, their realms are hardly different.

But now the battlefield is within the endless Sea of Blood, and Minghe additionally has the formation's support.

Fighting on home turf, naturally he occupies all the advantages.

All beings therefore naturally consider the situation somewhat unfavorable to Chen Ku.

As for Chen Ku!

Gazing at the Sea of Blood Grand Formation before him, Chen Ku also raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Oh? Sea of Blood Grand Formation......"

He also felt a slight sense of surprise.

However, it was merely a feeling of surprise.

What good is formation support? Minghe still cannot destroy the cycle of reincarnation.

And Chen Ku's nonchalant demeanor thoroughly enraged Minghe.

"Ah......"

Minghe let out an angry roar.

Following that, all that could be seen was him waving his big hand.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Two piercing sounds of breaking through the air rang out, capable of piercing metal and splitting stone.

Close behind, two beams of cold light that pierced the void suddenly appeared, shooting explosively toward Chen Ku.

Seeing this, Hong Yun was startled.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Ku, be careful!"

"Those are the Primordial Slaughter and Avici twin swords!"

He hurriedly spoke to warn.

The Primordial Slaughter and Avici twin swords are the natal spirit treasures of Minghe's ancestor, their edge unmatched, unstoppable.

More importantly, these two swords slay without karmic stain; they are a terrifying existence that makes countless cultivators change color at the mere mention.

In fact, even without Hong Yun's reminder, Chen Ku instantly recognized the Primordial Slaughter and Avici twin swords.

Without hesitation, Chen Ku merely thought and directly sacrificed the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler.

Instantly, merit golden light burst forth, the two characters "Measuring Heaven" shining brightly, suspended in the void.

Clang!

Clang!

The sound of gold and iron clashing rang out.

Without a doubt, the Primordial Slaughter and Avici twin swords suddenly flew backward, falling back into Minghe's hands.

The manifestation of the merit supreme treasure means that even if the Primordial Slaughter and Avici swords appear together, they can only be crushed.

This scene also caused Minghe to suddenly awaken.

A contest of spirit treasures?!

He is naturally no match for Chen Ku, and the two cannot even be compared.

Minghe also reacted extremely quickly.

"Sea of Blood Pagoda!"

In the blink of an eye, Minghe unleashed another supreme terrifying divine ability.

In an instant, all beings changed color, shock and dread intertwining!
