Chapter Nine Hundred and Thirty-Eight: Asura Demon Way
The Rakshasa tribe, back then, was the Styx ancestor’s benchmark against the saint Nuwa, and they also wanted to use this to become a saint.
Unfortunately, after imitating the saints twice, Patriarch Styx could only improve his cultivation to the pinnacle of quasi-sage.
But even so, with the same batch of innate saints, he reached the pinnacle of quasi-sage first. Among the many Zixiao guests, his combat power is enough to rank among the top ten existences, except for saints like Sanqing.
This still includes the twelve ancestral witches.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches are powerful. Once they form the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods, they can threaten the existence of the saint.
The twelve peak ancestral witches all have the combat power of the quasi-sage peak, but there is still a gap between the quasi-sage peaks.
For example, the Ancestral Witch of Time and the Ancestral Witch of Space can indeed be as good as Di Jun and the others one on one.
But for some other ancestral witches, it may take several of them to join forces to barely fight against a demon king.
The strength of Ancestor Minghe is naturally a bit lower than that of the Demon Emperor, but he has Yuantu, the top innate spiritual treasure of Abi, and the offensive and defensive treasures such as the Yehuo Red Lotus in his hands.
His cultivation has also reached the quasi-sage peak, so his strength may be a little inferior to the two Demon Emperors, but it is definitely at the top level.
But in today's Earthly Immortal World, with the departure of the Saint and the decline of the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan, his strength has grown even further. In the entire Earthly Immortal World, those who can surpass him in strength may not even have a single palm left.
Therefore, the forces of the Blood Sea Rakshasa tribe are now becoming more and more rampant.
Even before the Battle of the Sea of Blood, the Rakshasa tribe was active in the Sea of Blood and the Netherworld, that is, the underworld.
At that time, the prehistoric era was still a continent, and there were no four major divine states. Although the Rakshasa clan was quite powerful, the entire prehistoric world, the most elite of the east, was under the control of the Taoist sect. Before the Battle of the Gods, the Three Pure Ones had not yet broken up.
At that time, the Taoist sect was dominated by Sanqing, and it was difficult for other Zixiao disciples to compete with them, let alone the ancestors of the Blood Sea and Styx River.
Even the two sages of the West who left the Taoist sect were classified as side sects, and Taoist traditions such as the Sea of Blood and the River Styx can only be classified as leftists.
At that time, the Sanqing Taoist sect was so powerful. The Three Pure Ones were one. The Taiqing Sage was unfathomable and had the highest realm. The Tongtian Sage held the Killing Immortal Sword Formation. The Taoist Patriarch once said that only the Four Sages could not break it.
A single Tongtian Saint is enough to suppress the other Zixiao guests.
Therefore, the Sanqing Taoist Sect at that time had influence throughout the entire prehistoric period, that is, the barren west, and the Sanqing Taoist Sect did not even look down upon it.
But now, the ancient world is broken, the earthly immortal world has become the four great divine states, and the other saints have left.
The Rakshasa tribe has the great backing of the ancestor of the Blood Sea Styx, so naturally it has become more and more rampant. In recent years, it has been able to escape from the Blood Sea.
Of course, in the netherworld of the underworld, the Rakshasa tribe does not dare to cross the boundary too much. After all, there is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the underworld, a quasi-sage who can resist the existence of the ancestor of Styx.
Secondly, the real controller of the underworld is Empress Houtu. Although the witch clan has declined, in addition to Empress Houtu, there is also an ancestral witch.
There are also several great witches who are still above the Rakshasa clan in terms of strength. The Rakshasa clan naturally does not dare to provoke these people.
So it expanded outward.
The Blood Sea is close to the west and connected to Xiniu Hezhou, so the first place where the Rakshasa tribe expanded was Xiniu Hezhou.
Over in Hezhou, Xiniu, there are really a lot of demons dancing around now, including humans, demons and demons, and of course Buddhism is indispensable.
It can be said that it is really chaotic.
Most of the human race are the kind of people who do many evil things and like to go to Xiniu Hezhou. After all, in Nanzhanbuzhou, whether it is Kyushu or other regions, there is a certain righteous order.
Not to mention Kyushu, the other regions in Nanzhan Continent are controlled by sects, and most of these sects are righteous.
Although there are evil ways, they are obviously not like demonic ways.
The one in Hezhou, Xiniu, is completely different. One is more evil than the other, and one is more fierce than the other.
Killing people and seizing treasures is the simplest thing. Some evil people can easily turn ascetics into magic weapons.
This is also what the Rakshasa tribe loves most. When they expand there, they are like a fish in water.
As for Buddhism, sorry, Buddhism is a side sect. It can be said that in the world of monasticism, the bottom line of Buddhism is also the lowest.
They don't care at all. As long as those evil demons and heretics don't provoke Lingshan, Buddhism will not pay attention to them at all.
The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Buddhism prefer to stay in their own caves and absorb the faith of mortals. As for rescuing them, it is naturally impossible.
After relieving their suffering, who will still believe in them?
The Eight Treasures Merit Pool of Buddhism can transform the power of faith of mortals or monks into water of merit.
This Buddhist Eight Treasures Merit Pool has similar effects to the Three Light Divine Water.
Of course, the large-scale entry of the Rakshasa tribe into Hezhou, Xiniu, did affect Buddhism, and many battles did take place between the two sides.
It even led to the Daluo Jinxian level.
However, the battle of Daluo Jinxian did not involve a life-and-death battle.
When it comes to Daluo Jinxian, even the Buddhist sect is a mainstay. Losing one person is a huge loss. Naturally, they will not fight to the death easily.
And with the intervention of Buddhism, the momentum of the Rakshasa clan has indeed been slightly reduced.
Later, some Rakshasa tribe also began to think about spreading to other continents.
Yuan Luo is one of them, but he is different from most of the Rakshasa clan. He chose to become a demon. The senior Rakshasa people don't care about the Rakshasa clan becoming a demon.
After all, the Rakshasa clan is a killing clan and loves killing the most, so it is not much different from the demon clan.
Even the top leaders of the Rakshasa clan are aware that their ancestor, Patriarch Styx, has some unclear relationship with several major demon lords in the demon world.
Therefore, no one has any objections to the Rakshasa people who choose the demonic path. On the contrary, more and more Rakshasa clans choose the demonic path nowadays.
The Demonic Way of Shura is even more powerful.
Improving combat power is the most wonderful thing for the Rakshasa tribe.
It's just that Yuan Luo followed the demonic path of devouring and killing. This path is the most terrifying and domineering, and also the most evil.
After all, swallowing other ascetics to nourish oneself is the most insoluble way of Asura in the earthly and immortal world.
It is the most despised by the righteous way.
Yuan Luo was also very cautious in his previous cultivation, and was fully prepared every time he took action.
This is also the reason why he has not been suppressed by the defenders of the righteous way for so many years.
This time, he was also preparing to return to the Blood Sea, so he planned to do it one last time, and before leaving, do the craziest one, in order to impact the Golden Immortal Realm.
He originally planned to devour tens of millions of mortals, but later he found out that someone was preaching, and he knew that there would be many ascetics gathering by then.
And devouring monks is naturally more useful than devouring those mortals.
