Xuande said no more.
He took a step forward and stood between Minghe and Houtu.
Twelve-Petal Destruction Black Lotus flew out from between his eyebrows and slowly bloomed at his feet.
The black lotus is like ink, with a dark black light flowing around the edges of its twelve petals, far away from the Karmic Fire Red Lotus at the feet of Minghe.
Both were transformed from Chaos Green Lotus seeds. One is responsible for destruction, and the other is dedicated to fire. They are originally from the same source, but at this moment they are exuding completely opposite auras in the confrontation.
The black light of the black lotus is deep and restrained, swallowing up the surrounding blood mist silently;
The karmic fire of the red lotus spreads fiercely, burning everything close to it.
The two forces collided in the air, making a muffled sound.
At the same time, Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler flew out of Xuande's sleeve and fell into his right hand.
The body of the ruler is entirely golden, with countless mysterious runes beating slowly on the surface of the ruler, exuding the unique warm light of Houtian Merit Supreme Treasure.
That is the breath of rules and Measurement Dao, the power to measure cause and effect and define good and evil.
Minghe's eyes narrowed slightly.
He knew Twelve-Petal Destruction Black Lotus, which was the treasure of Rahula back then. Dragon-Han Tribulation disappeared into Abyss of Demonic Energy together with God-Slaying Spear.
He sent people to search for it but found nothing.
Later, when he heard that West and the others had restored the evil energy in the abyss, he guessed that the two treasures fell into the hands of West.
Now that I have seen the black lotus blooming at the feet of Xuande, that suspicion is finally confirmed.
Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler, the Merit Golden Light circulating on Chi's body actually made Minghe's Yuantu Abi Twin Swords tremble slightly.
"Destruction Black Lotus," Minghe's voice remained cold, "The rumors are true. Rahula's treasure is indeed in your hands."
Xuande did not answer the call.
He held a ruler in his right hand and formed a seal with his left hand. The aura around his body became as sharp as an unsheathed sword in an instant.
The pressure of Mid-Quasi-Saint was released without reservation, and the pressure of Minghe collided in the sky above Blood Sea, causing the blood mist with a radius of thousands of miles to collapse inward.
"Houtu Fellow Daoist, Randeng Fellow Daoist, go in now." His voice was not high, but it was undeniably calm.
Houtu glanced at him and flew deep into the Blood Sea without hesitation.
Randeng followed closely behind, the Glazed Lamp in his hand lit up with a faint but steady light, like a star of Indestructible on the bloody sea.
"Seeking death!"
Minghe shouted violently, Karmic Fire Red Lotus's feet suddenly erupted into tens of thousands of karmic fire, and Yuantu Abi Twin Swords slashed out with two sword lights.
One pale and one dark red, like two evil dragons slashing down on Xuande's head.
His sword was shot out of anger. Yuantu and Abi Swords is an innate killing treasure. Killing is not related to cause and effect. Even Late Quasi-Sage dare not confront him head-on.
Xuande is not hardwired.
Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler was gently turned in his hand, and the Merit Golden Light on the ruler turned into a huge golden barrier, blocking it in front of him.
The sword light struck the barrier, emitting a piercing scream. The collision between Merit Golden Light and the killing sword energy exploded into countless tiny rays of light, scattering in all directions over Blood Sea like fireworks.
The barrier trembled violently, and cracks spread like spider webs, but it did not shatter after all.
The invincible edge of the two killing swords encountered real restraint for the first time in front of this acquired treasure based on Merit.
Minghe's pupils shrank slightly.
He has fought countless times with people. Yuantu and Abi Swords has always been able to defeat all attacks with one sword, and he has never encountered an opponent who can block his blow head-on.
His eyes were more solemn.
Xuande didn't wait for him to retract his swords, Destruction Black Lotus suddenly spun at his feet, and a black light shot out from the lotus heart, directly towards Minghe's face.
The black light was as black as ink, and the space where it passed was slightly distorted.
That is the embodiment of Destruction Law, the most Origin Essence power given by Chaos Green Lotus to Destruction Black Lotus.
Unlike Karmic Fire Red Lotus who used Karmic Sin as salary and burned Primordial Spirit, Destruction Black Lotus's power is purer and more domineering.
It does not consume or burn, but directly causes all things to return to nothingness.
Minghe did not dare to neglect, Karmic Fire Red Lotus's twelve petals bloomed at the same time, forming a red wall of fire in front of him, blocking the black light outside him.
The power of destruction and the fire of karma collided fiercely on the fire wall, making a dull roar. The fire wall was eroded by the black light and created a depression, but it was not penetrated.
Minghe took the opportunity to retract his swords, and his figure drifted back several feet, with a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes. This opponent was stronger than he expected.
"Randeng Fellow Daoist, follow me!" Houtu shouted, and his body turned into a khaki-colored Escape Light, rushing straight towards the depths of the Blood Sea.
"Stop them!" Minghe shouted.
Blood Sea suddenly surged up driven by Minghe's thoughts, and countless Blood God Avatars emerged from the sea and rushed toward Houtu and Randeng.
Those Blood God Avatars are clones of Minghe refined from Blood Sea Origin Essence. Each of them is condensed from the purest evil spirit, invisible and formless but everywhere.
Ordinary monks will be eroded by the evil spirit and become the nourishment of the blood sea if they get a trace of it. Even the quasi-sage would not dare to fight with the endless blood god's sons in the blood sea.
Because they can't be killed at all, as long as Blood Sea is still there, Blood God Avatars will be reborn continuously.
Xuande sent a message of Divine Sense to Randeng: "Brother Randeng, follow fellow Daoist Houtu!"
Randeng understood and suddenly urged Glazed Lamp.
At this moment, the simple light burst out with far more brilliance than usual.
That light was neither a blazing golden flame nor an icy moonlight, but an extremely soft and extremely peaceful light of death.
Wherever the light passed, the Blood God Avatarss that rushed towards them let out shrill screams one after another. Under the illumination of the extinguishing light, the filthy evil spirit melted like snow, turning into wisps of blue smoke and dissipating over the Blood Seas.
Randeng has been in retreat at Mount Sumeru to understand Nirvana Dao these years. This time, following Xuande and Houtu's experience of transcending the undead, he gained a new understanding of the true meaning of death.
Nirvana is not death, but peace, liberation, and the return of all obsessions and resentments to their origin.
Blood God Avatars itself is the condensation of Obsession and evil spirits. Under the illumination of the light of death, they cannot maintain their form and can only be forcibly purified.
Minghe snorted coldly, and slashed out Yuantu Sword with his left hand again. This time, the target was not Xuande, but Houtu.
The sword's light was like a pale sword, tearing apart Blood Sea's sea surface, chasing Houtu's figure.
But Xuande was one step ahead of the sword light.
Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler was lying in front of him, and Merit Golden Light lit up again, holding the pale sword light firmly.
Merit and killing were two completely opposite forces that collided fiercely on the ruler, making a harsh neighing sound.
Xuande succeeded with one blow, and before Minghe could change his move, Destruction Black Lotus shot out another black light from under his feet, forcing Minghe to withdraw his offensive and respond with all his strength.
The two were fighting over Blood Sea.
Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler's Merit Golden Light and Yuantu and Abi Swords's killing sword energy intertwined in the air, and each collision stirred up a shower of light in the sky;
Destruction Black Lotus's black light and Karmic Fire Red Lotus's red flames clashed between the lotus terraces. The power of the same source but opposites made the entire Blood Sea tremble.
Blood waves surged, evil spirits surged, and the battle between the two turned the sea tens of thousands of miles around upside down.
At the same time, Houtu and Randeng have broken through the initial interception of Blood God Avatars and advanced deeper into the Blood Sea.
Seeing this, Minghe urged Blood Sea Origin Essence again.
This time, what surfaced was no longer the ordinary Blood God Avatars.
Rather, these clones of Blood God Avatars' Clones were made by fusing Minghe's own essence and blood with Blood Sea Origin Essence. Each one condensed part of his Primordial Spirit.
Although there are no Yuantu and Abi Swords and Karmic Fire Red Lotus, his cultivation level is far from comparable to ordinary Blood God Avatars, enough to rival the peak Great Luo.
Dozens of dark red clones opened their eyes at the same time, their dark red pupils locked on Houtu and Randeng, and then they took action at the same time.
Earth Dao of Houtu was greatly suppressed in the Blood Sea. Blood Sea is not the earth. There is water but no soil here. Her bearing and stabilizing power cannot be fully exerted.
But she is Ancestral Witch after all, and Physical Body is so powerful and arrogant that Primordial Wilderness can fight head-on with these clones even without using the power of Primordial Spirit.
She smashed the face of the first clone with one punch, and the mud-like fragments flew in all directions, turning into blood and flowing back into the Blood Sea.
However, more clones came from all directions, surrounding her, and the attacks were so dense that there was almost no gap.
Although these clones only have part of the power of Minghe, they are extremely numerous and can be killed one after another.
Houtu can knock back several of them with every punch, but after they fall, new ones will quickly come to replace them, killing them all and destroying them endlessly.
Her brows wrinkled slightly.
If she continues to consume like this, she will never reach the deepest point of the Blood Sea.
At this moment, Randeng suddenly spoke. His voice was not loud, but it carried a decisive calmness:
"Houtu Fellow Daoist, please continue moving forward. Leave these things to Pindao."
Houtu turned to look at him.
Randeng didn't look at her. His eyes fell on the densely packed Blood God Avatars' Clones, and he gently raised the Glazed Lamp in his hand.
The dying light flowed out from the wick, forming a soft halo around him.
The halo was not dazzling, but it caused the movements of the clones that rushed forward to freeze suddenly. They instinctively resisted this force.
The restraining effect of the Light of Death on Blood God Avatars' Clones is much weaker than that of ordinary Blood God Avatars. After all, these clones contain parts of Minghe, Primordial Spirit, and are not pure evil aggregation.
However, the restraint effect still exists. The movements of the clone illuminated by the Light of Nirvana will become slower, the shape will become blurred, and the flesh and blood on the edges will begin to slowly melt away.
Although it cannot completely purify them, it is enough to delay their offensive.
Randeng took a deep breath, and Nirvana Buddha Light exploded all over his body.
The light was not blazing, but it was extremely broad, covering all the clones surrounding Houtu, like an invisible net, blocking them all.
The clones struggled wildly in the light of death, trying to break free from this invisible net and continue to pursue Houtu, but Randeng stayed at the front and did not take a step back.
His cultivation level is far inferior to that of Houtu, and Glazed Lamp is not a killing weapon. Faced with the siege of dozens of Blood God Avatars' Cloness, he can only barely hold on.
But he held on because he knew that as long as he held on for a moment longer, Houtu would be able to move forward a little further.
Houtu glanced at Randeng, nodded heavily, then turned around and flew towards the deepest part of the Blood Sea without looking back.
The true form of Minghe is still fighting with Xuande.
Every time Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler and Yuantu and Abi Swords collide, a devastating shock wave will be triggered, and Blood Sea will be stirred into huge waves;
The black light of Destruction Black Lotus and the red flame of Karmic Fire Red Lotus clashed between the lotus platforms. The two forces of the same origin but opposites eroded each other, and every confrontation made the entire Blood Sea tremble.
Minghe The more I beat him, the more frightened I became.
He originally thought that at his home court, with the help of Blood Sea Origin Essence, he would soon be able to suppress Xuande.
However, after a long battle, Xuande not only showed no signs of fatigue, but became more stable as the battle continued.
The Merit Golden Light on the golden ruler seemed endless. No matter how many swords he struck with his Yuantu and Abi Swords, they were all held firmly;
The black light on the black lotus was even more strange, and his karmic fire could not suppress it.
What's even worse is that his distracted efforts to control Blood God Avatars' Clones have already attracted the attention of Xuande.
During the fierce battle, Xuande kept using Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler points to attack the clones who were trying to get around from the direction of Houtu.
Merit Golden Light fell like golden lightning with precision, and each blow caused a clone to disintegrate on the spot.
Although Minghe can continuously regenerate them, each rebirth requires his energy.
What he lacks most at the moment is his mind.
Seeing Houtu sinking deeper and deeper, Minghe no longer cared about Xuande, and used all his strength to mobilize Blood Sea Origin Essence, transferring most of the Blood God Avatars' Clones deep into the Blood Sea, leaving only a few to entangle Randeng.
He must stop Houtu before she reaches that power.
Houtu dived deeper and deeper, and the blood around her changed from dark red to deep black. The pressure was strong enough to crush Physical Body Daluo Golden Immortal. She used Earth Dao to protect her whole body and continued to sink despite the pressure.
Minghe roared, and the Blood Sea beneath his feet suddenly dented. A huge vortex appeared in the center of the Blood Sea. Countless Blood God Avatars' Clones surged out of the whirlpool and pounced towards the depths of the Blood Sea like locusts passing through.
Xuande's eyes focused, and Destruction Black Lotus shot out a black light again, punching a big hole in the blood wave in front of him.
The Merit Golden Light on Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler surged several times and swung out with one foot, knocking back dozens of clones at the same time.
But there are too many clones. Xuande can only hold back as many of them as possible, but cannot intercept them all.
They swooped in the direction of Houtu like locusts crossing the border. The filthy evil aura in the Blood Sea covered the sky and completely submerged the aura of Houtu.
Houtu continues to sink in the deep sea.
She could feel the call becoming clearer and stronger, as if it was very close at hand.
She also heard countless neighing sounds coming from behind her.
That was the sound of Blood God Avatars' Clones chasing, getting closer and closer to her, becoming more and more dense.
Undercurrents surged around her body, and the pressure was so great that even her Ancestral Witch Physical Body began to ache.
And that call was just ahead. In the darkness, she faintly saw a ray of light.
Weak but pure, completely different from the filth of the entire Blood Sea, like the only star in the endless dark night.
The moment her fingertips touched the light, the whole Blood Sea became silent.
Minghe was stunned, Xuande also retracted its offensive, and even those Blood God Avatars' Clones who were attacking frantically were stagnant.
At that moment, he felt the awakening of the power deep in the Blood Sea.
It is not attacking Houtu, but responding to her.
It was as if an ancient existence that had been sleeping for countless years finally waited for the person it was waiting for.
Xuande knew that Houtu had touched her destination. Just as she had predicted, there was indeed something waiting for her in the depths of the Blood Sea. It was not an illusion or a trap, but an inevitable fate.
On the other side Houtu could hear the call becoming clearer and gentler, like the oldest pulse deep in the earth.
