Chapter 177 Standoff
Behind Fuxi, Zhu Xiang, Wu Huai, Yin Kang, and ten other leaders of various powerful clans affiliated with the West Sea Dragon Court stepped forward.
These clan leaders were all powerful beings at the Taiyi realm. Although their strength was not as great as Zhu Xiang, Wu Huai, and Yin Kang, they were still capable of dealing with the Bodhisattvas of Buddhism.
With thirteen powerful Taiyi realm experts belonging to the West Sea Dragon Court, Fuxi, with red lotuses constantly rising and falling beneath his feet, arrived in the sky and confronted twenty powerful Taiyi realm experts from the three paths of gods, immortals, and Buddhas across the void.
The overwhelming demonic energy surged, and the extremely profound demonic intent flowed and spread continuously in the void. The layers of hell were like demonic claws opening, and the complex and extremely mysterious demonic nature crushed and devoured all the divine thoughts that the great powers of the three paths of gods, immortals, and Buddhas had come to investigate.
"The Azure Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan and the Demon Ancestor of the Demonic Path are both extremely troublesome identities. Now, these two identities have fallen into one person's hands. Just who is Cang Li? How did he manage to snatch a portion of the Demonic Path's essence from Luo Hou's hands?"
Clad in purple armor and carrying two divine swords, Shenxiao gazed at the eerie demonic aura opposite him, which seemed to devour all vital energy and spiritual power like a black hole. The Hell Demon Ancestor, with his divine senses fixed on him, had lightning bolts constantly exploding in his eyes, and the vast heavenly might around him stirred up, transforming into countless surging bolts of lightning.
"There's no need to investigate further. Even an emperor couldn't ascertain their identity. Don't waste your energy."
Ziwei looked at the Heavenly Will Lightning flickering in Shenxiao's eyes and shook his head, saying that he had already contacted Emperor Taiyi before he came, but had not received a clear answer about the Demon Ancestor of Hell.
Beside Ziwei, Gouchen frowned as he looked at Fuxi. He felt an extremely terrifying sense of oppression emanating from Fuxi, a pressure that even surpassed that of Taiyi, the current deity who held supreme power in the divine realm.
Not far from the three leaders of the Divine Realm, Guang Chengzi, dressed in a purple robe, listened to their conversation and looked at Fuxi opposite him.
After seeing the gaze that Fuxi was looking at him, Guang Chengzi smiled at Fuxi, and his past experiences in Xuandu Yujing came back to mind.
"Should we make a move?"
Beside Guang Chengzi, Chi Songzi, holding a palm-leaf fan and with his chest and breasts exposed, looked away from Fuxi opposite him, connected with Guang Chengzi through divine sense, and asked him a question.
"I don't know. Let the Divine Path and the Buddhist Path make their moves first. We'll observe. Unless Brother Taishang and Brother Yuanshi give the order to attack together, we won't make a move."
Guang Chengzi frowned, pondered for a moment, and then spoke, his tone full of hesitation.
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? The Western Regions' demonic path is currently at its lowest point. If we don't take this opportunity to completely eradicate it, given its resilience, it won't be long before it rises from the ashes."
Rong Chengzi bowed to Fuxi opposite him, then turned to look at Guang Chengzi and sighed.
"It's not that I don't want to take action, but I'm not sure what trump cards my martial uncle has. As you all know, my martial uncle wouldn't just show himself like this without absolute certainty."
"If our senior uncle doesn't have any trump cards, then we will naturally have to take action to eradicate the demonic forces in the Western Regions, but as you should know, that's unlikely."
Guang Chengzi was born not much later than the three Xuanmen Heavenly Venerables, Taishang, Yuanshi, and Lingbao, and his seniority and status in Xuanmen were second only to the three Heavenly Venerables.
Of course, Ning Fengzi, Rong Chengzi, Chi Songzi, and Chi Jingzi, who were beside Guang Chengzi, were also ancient immortals who joined Xuanmen not long after its birth.
In the past, Fuxi discussed the Dao with Taishang, Yuanshi, and Lingbao in Xuandu Yujing for tens of thousands of years. Guangchengzi and four others were the ones who listened in and were quite familiar with Fuxi.
During that period, Guang Chengzi and his four companions received a great deal of instruction from Fuxi. Fuxi also contributed to the development of their own cultivation system, so the five of them all addressed Fuxi as their Uncle-Master.
Guang Chengzi knew that even Taishang, Yuanshi, Lingbao and others were ashamed of their own inferiority to Fuxi's foundation and strength.
Moreover, according to Guang Chengzi's understanding, Fuxi was the kind of person who, once he started something, was bound to succeed. As long as Fuxi took action, it meant that he was absolutely certain of success.
The five ancient immortals of the Xuanmen sect exchanged glances, seeing that Fuxi hesitated to step forward. To confront their uncle would go against their conscience; Fuxi had treated them very well in the past, and they were unwilling to attack him.
Expanding the influence of the Xuanmen is an order from Yuanshi Tianzun, who currently holds great power in the Xuanmen, and they cannot disobey it. Now they are caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.
The twelve Buddhist bodhisattvas looked at Fuxi with calm expressions and firm gazes.
The Buddhist and demonic paths have extremely sharp ideological conflicts. The Xuanmen and the demonic path still have a slight possibility of coexistence, but the Buddhist and demonic paths are absolutely opposed and there is no possibility of them coexisting.
Therefore, when facing Fuxi, the newly promoted second Demon Ancestor of the Demonic Path, the twelve Bodhisattvas were all filled with chilling killing intent.
The destruction and slaughter pursued by the demonic path are of no benefit to the world. A newly born demonic ancestor will inevitably cause great harm to the primordial world. It is the Buddhist sect's inescapable responsibility to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path.
Fuxi glanced at the five people, including Guang Chengzi, whose divine senses had been flashing rapidly. He understood their thoughts. The wisps of dragon energy that had been swirling around him completely dissipated, and a monstrous demonic aura enveloped Fuxi.
The demonic nature of the abyss permeated Fuxi's will and soul. An existence known as the Demon Ancestor of Hell was embedded in Fuxi's body. At this moment, Fuxi was no longer the Azure Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan, but became the Demon Ancestor who ruled the demonic path of hell. His heart was filled only with killing, destruction, and the ferocity of devouring other demonic paths!
The Demon Blade of No Return was instantly drawn, its blood-red blade appearing extremely eerie and sinister, leaving streaks in the sky that resembled wounds.
Faced with Fuxi's sudden attack, the expressions of Guang Chengzi and the other four, who were still discussing whether or not to make a move, changed drastically.
At this moment, they felt a slight sense of familiarity from Fuxi. The Fuxi in front of them seemed to have completely changed into a different person: cold, ruthless, fierce, and eccentric!
Before Guang Chengzi and his group of five could react, the crimson demonic blade had already descended upon Guang Chengzi's head.
Purple clouds rose from the fairy robes, transforming into a huge canopy. With a flash of deep red light, the purple canopy was easily shattered by the Demon Blade of No Return.
With his hands forming a hand seal, twelve layers of slowly blooming blue lotus flowers appeared above Guang Chengzi's head, blocking the descending demonic blade at the critical moment.
Looking at Fuxi, whose expression was indifferent and cold, Guang Chengzi's eyes flashed with understanding, and he nodded apologetically to Fuxi in front of him.
Guang Chengzi's divine sense trembled, and Rong Chengzi, Chisongzi, Ning Fengzi, and Chijingzi all unleashed their supernatural powers. The vast and mysterious Xuanmen Immortal Light transformed into a giant, mysterious blue lotus, which sent Fuxi, who was holding the Demon Blade, flying away.
