Honghuang: My understanding is beyond belief. I am the first immortal of Jiejiao.

He snorted coldly, without making any big movements. The air in front of him rippled slightly, and two longswords with an ancient design but an extremely sharp aura appeared out of thin air!

The sword's blade was dark red, as if it were formed from endless blood. The hilt resembled a ferocious skull, exuding an overwhelming aura of slaughter!
The other sword was a deep black, as if it could devour all light, and its hilt was like a twisted demon, surrounded by a chilling curse and a deathly power!

These are the divine artifacts used by the Styx Patriarch to prove his Dao, the supreme innate spiritual treasures born alongside the Sea of ​​Blood—the Yuan Tu and Abi Swords! These two swords can kill heaven, earth, and all living beings. What is most terrifying is that they kill without incurring any karmic consequences!
"go with!"

The Patriarch of the Styx pointed forward with his fingers like a sword.

"Qiang——!"

"Om-!"

The Yuan Tu and A Bi swords emitted a joyful hum, instantly transforming into two astonishing rainbows, one red and one black, that tore through the heavens and earth. They arrived first despite being behind, meeting the ten-thousand-foot claw shadow with perfect precision!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a tooth-grinding, faint sound, as if the laws of nature were being forcibly cut and annihilated.

Before everyone's shocked eyes, the seemingly invincible ten-thousand-foot claw shadow, upon contact with the Yuan Tu Abi sword light, was like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun, silently and inch by inch shattered and annihilated, without even causing a ripple!
The Yuan Tu and A Bi swords, their momentum undiminished, easily shattered the claw shadows and, carrying the supreme killing intent of the Styx Ancestor at the peak of the Quasi-Saint level, continued to shoot towards the terrified Di Ting like two deadly scythes!

"Do not!!!"

Di Ting only had time to let out a desperate roar before it was struck hard by the two sword lights, one red and one black!

"boom!!!!!"

Its enormous body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a colossal mountain of unknown age that was floating in the void in the distance at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye!

With a deafening roar, the towering mountain, upon impact with the Di Ting body, shattered like a glass cup tossed with a stone, turning into countless fragments of dust that filled a vast expanse of space!

The figure of Di Ting was buried deep in the endless dust, its fate unknown!

quiet!
Deathly silence!

Whether it was the forces of Ksitigarbha, the Asura clan, or even Lin Zhu and his enforcers, they were all deeply shocked by the Styx Ancestor's seemingly casual yet terrifying attack!
Lin Zhu was secretly amazed.

"My goodness... Is this the strength of a veteran Quasi-Saint at the peak? Yuan Tu Abi... truly lives up to his reputation!"
If this had happened in the mortal realm, that attack would probably have caused a cataclysmic event, with mountains collapsing and oceans turning back.

After the Styx Patriarch blasted Di Ting into a towering mountain range with a single blow, turning it into dust, he did not pursue it.

His figure, clad in white robes, stood like an ancient monument amidst a sea of ​​blood, steadily blocking Lin Zhu's path as he fled back in a disheveled state.

His gaze was cold, carrying a hint of disdain and contempt, sweeping over the six envoys who were shocked and furious because Di Ting had been severely injured, but dared not step forward for the moment, as well as the Ksitigarbha army that was in turmoil behind them.

"Hmph, a bunch of chickens and dogs, dare to chase after my Styx's 'guests'?"

The Styx Patriarch's voice was not loud, but it carried an invisible majesty and a sense of oppression, clearly echoing in the void.

Faced with the undisguised contempt and killing intent of the Styx Patriarch, the six ambassadors' expressions turned extremely ugly, but their steps came to an abrupt halt as if they were made of lead.

They knew all too well how terrifying this Lord of the Blood Sea was; his cultivation had reached the peak of Quasi-Saint, and his Yuan Tu and A Bi twin swords were unparalleled in their killing power, untouched by karma.

Unless the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, who sits deep within the five turbidities of this evil world, personally intervenes, it is impossible for them, along with the unknown Di Ting, to contend with him!

No matter how powerful Di Ting is, it is ultimately just a Bodhisattva's mount, not an existence that can stand on equal footing with the Styx Patriarch.

Seeing that he had intimidated the other party, the Styx Patriarch no longer paid attention to these minor characters. Most of his mind was now highly focused, like the most sensitive radar, firmly locking onto the still silent depths of the Five Turbid World.

He could sense that a deeper, more vast will, which had been intertwined with him for countless eons, was slowly awakening there.

That's his real opponent!
The brief but intense chase and interception between the two sides ended almost in the blink of an eye.

Ultimately, the battle ended with Lin Zhu's unethical sneak attack succeeding and his safe retreat back to the Blood Sea camp.

Lin Zhu, transformed into a golden rainbow, flashed and landed not far from the Styx Patriarch, revealing his form.

He took a slight breath, and a bead of sweat even appeared on his forehead. Clearly, the sneak attack and evasion at extreme speed had taken a toll on him.

But he had an uncontrollable smile of excitement on his face as he opened his right hand, which was the one that had unleashed the "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm".

Within his palm, a faint Buddhist light emanated, as if holding a miniature world, within which dozens of shrunken figures, their Buddhist light dimmed, were imprisoned, struggling in agony!

Upon closer inspection, one could discern that the auras included the recently escaped and weak-looking Dāndō Ksitigarbha, as well as another Ksitigarbha clone with the cultivation level of a mid-stage Dāro Golden Immortal!
In addition, there are several Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, as well as dozens of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas at the Golden Immortal and True Immortal levels!

This single haul is almost equivalent to half of the core strength of the Three Realms Enforcer Squad! The harvest is undeniably bountiful!

"Lin! Zhu!!!"

Just then, from the dust cloud that had been shattered by the Di Ting, came a roar filled with pain and extreme anger!

Di Ting emerged from the crowd in a somewhat disheveled state. Although it did not appear to have suffered a fatal injury, its breathing was clearly disordered, and its magnificent fur was covered in dust, making it look quite wretched.

Its eyes were fixed on Lin Zhu, especially his right hand that was gripping many Dizang statues, which was almost spitting fire!
"You madman who disregards destiny and law! How dare you commit such a despicable sneak attack on the battlefield! You unilaterally provoked war, your crime is heinous!"

Di Ting angrily rebuked, attempting to criticize Lin Zhu from a moral high ground.

However, Lin Zhu only responded with a cold sneer.

He slowly raised his eyelids, his gaze as cold as ice, sweeping over Di Ting and the six envoys. His voice was clear and firm, carrying an unquestionable authority that resounded throughout the surrounding area. "Despicable? Provoking war? Di Ting, you'd better listen to me clearly!"

He suddenly raised the right hand that was imprisoning the Ksitigarbha, and his voice suddenly rose, like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploding in the ears of every living being.

"I am the God of Law Enforcement of the Three Realms, personally appointed by the Heavenly Court to oversee the prisons of the Three Realms and uphold the Heavenly Laws and Orders!"

Dantuo Dizang was a serious criminal in the Nine Heavens Prison. He violently escaped from prison, injured a righteous god of the Heavenly Court, and the evidence was conclusive. His crime was unforgivable!

You, subordinates of Ksitigarbha, not only failed to assist in the capture, but also harbored and protected him, and even attempted to obstruct my enforcement of the law!

"I have come here not for personal grudges, but to uphold the majesty of the Heavenly Laws and bring the escaped criminals to justice! This is a matter of course, this is the mighty power of Heaven! The might of Heaven is inviolable!!"

His words were forceful and resounding, firmly positioning himself on the high ground of "acting according to the law" and placing the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's forces in the position of "protecting criminals" and "defying the heavenly rules."

"You...you're just being unreasonable! Stop! Stop now!"

Di Ting was so angry at Lin Zhu's "righteous" words that he trembled all over, but he could not refute them directly on legal grounds. He could only roar fiercely but inwardly, trying to stop Lin Zhu's next move.

But would Lin Zhu listen to it?

Under the gaze of countless eyes, some shocked, some fearful, and some angry, Lin Zhu made a grabbing motion in the air with his left hand!
"Om-!"

A long spear, entirely black in color, with an ancient design and its shaft wreathed in endless ferocity and destructive energy, suddenly appeared in his hand!
The moment the spear appeared, a terrifying killing intent originating from the primordial era and surpassing all living beings was unleashed, like a sleeping ancient beast suddenly awakening and descending fiercely!

The entire chaotic void trembled violently, as if it could not withstand this extreme will to "kill"!

Some of the Asura monks who were closer were even forced to kneel on the ground, trembling, by this overwhelming aura!

Even many of the Asura demons under the command of the Styx Patriarch showed expressions of fear!
"The God-Slaying Spear...?!"

Di Ting's pupils constricted sharply, and he screamed in disbelief and a deep-seated fear!

The six ambassadors, along with the countless Ksitigarbha and Asura monks behind them, all stared wide-eyed at the ferocious weapon that seemed capable of slaughtering gods and demons, a chill running from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads!
Holding the God-Slaying Spear, Lin Zhu pointed the spear tip at the imprisoned Dantuo Dizang and others in the Buddhist Kingdom in his palm. His voice was loud and clear, like a final judgment, resounding throughout the universe.

"The criminal is Dantuo Dizang! He is guilty of several capital crimes, including premeditated murder of a Heavenly Court enforcer, violent resistance to the law, blatant prison break, and contempt for Heavenly Laws! The evidence is irrefutable and cannot be denied!"

"The rest of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas, who harbored important criminals and aided and abetted evildoers, are also guilty of serious crimes!"

"In the name of the God of Law Enforcement and Prisons of the Three Realms, I hereby sentence you to death! Execute immediately to uphold justice!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the verdict was handed down!
A cold glint flashed in Lin Zhu's eyes, and he thrust out the God-Slaying Spear in his hand!
However, it did not pierce a physical object, but transformed into a pitch-black demonic dragon that was condensed to the extreme, seemingly formed from the resentment of billions of demon gods and the laws of slaughter!
The demonic dragon opened its blood-red maw and let out a silent yet soul-shaking roar, carrying a terrifying aura that could annihilate everything, and pounced straight at the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas in Lin Zhu's palm-sized Buddhist kingdom!

"Do not!!!"

"Buddha, save me!!"

"Spare me, Lord Prison God!"

Within the Buddha's Palm, the Danti Ksitigarbha and his followers had already been tortured beyond recognition by Lin Zhu's secret use of supernatural powers; their Buddha-light was shattered and their golden bodies dimmed.

Faced with this strike from the God-Slaying Spear, which originated from chaos and was dedicated to killing gods and demons, they felt an unprecedented threat of death!
They struggled frantically, trying to escape this world in the palm of their hands, but under Lin Zhu's absolute control and the lock of the God-Slaying Spear, all resistance was in vain!
They could only watch helplessly as the long dragon of demonic energy, carrying endless despair and darkness, completely devoured them!

"Lin Zhu! How dare you!!"

"How dare you judge Ksitigarbha?! You are making an enemy of the entire Western Paradise! The Heavenly Court will pay the price for this!!"

Di Ting and the six envoys, their eyes blazing with fury, roared in extreme rage, unleashing a torrent of threats and curses.

However, just as they tried to rush forward to stop him, the Styx Patriarch, the Four Demon Kings, the Heavenly Consort Umo, and the Four Demon Generals all stepped forward in unison, forming the strongest barrier in front of Lin Zhu.

Their faces revealed ferocious and gleeful smiles, completely ignoring the impotent and furious roars of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's forces.

The Styx Patriarch scoffed, speaking in an extremely rare tone that carried a hint of sanctimoniousness.

"Roaring in court and threatening law enforcement—what kind of behavior is this? You Ksitigarbha beings disregard etiquette and law, disrespect heavenly laws, and disregard the order of the Three Realms. You deserve this calamity! This is the clear will of Heaven, and retribution will not be in vain!"

After saying these words, even the Styx Patriarch himself felt somewhat dazed, almost having his past understanding overturned by his sudden "sense of justice".

But the effect is surprisingly good.

With the Styx Patriarch and the group of top Asura experts blocking their way, Di Ting and the six envoys, though burning with rage, were too afraid to act rashly and could only watch helplessly...

Under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, the demonic dragon formed by the God-Slaying Spear, like a greedy glutton, devoured and annihilated all the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist Kingdom within its palm, along with their Buddha light, golden bodies, and souls!
Even the half-step quasi-saint Danda Ksitigarbha only let out a brief and mournful wail before turning into nothingness!

When the demonic dragon dissipated and returned to Lin Zhu's hand as the God-Slaying Spear, a crystal about the size of a thumb, completely black, seemingly containing countless vengeful spirits struggling and roaring inside, and exuding the purest aura of destruction—the Heavenly Origin Demon Stone—quietly condensed at the end of the God-Slaying Spear!
At the same time, an indescribable, terrifyingly powerful killing intent, centered on the God-Slaying Spear, exploded out like an out-of-control tide, sweeping across the entire starry sky!

Darkness, bloodlust, rage, ferocity... all these evil thoughts, originating from the beginning of chaos, were unleashed without reservation by the God-Slaying Spear!
The entire void seemed to have transformed into a battlefield of carnage. Those with slightly weaker cultivation levels were already losing their composure and their Dao hearts were on the verge of collapse simply by sensing this killing intent!
This is the true terror of the God-Slaying Spear! It is also the manifestation of the evil thoughts of the Chaos Demon God who ran rampant back then!
Holding the God-Slaying Spear, Lin Zhu, who had just completed a "battlefield execution," seemed to have a strange resonance with the supreme killing treasure of the demonic path.

His once pristine white robes now fluttered without wind, the hem turning a dark red, like dried blood, exuding a ferocious and bloodthirsty aura.

He stood in the void, his gaze disdainful, carrying an arrogance and coldness that seemed to emanate from above all living beings. For a moment, he truly resembled an ancient demon god who had emerged from chaos, wielding the power of slaughter, inspiring fear in all who beheld him. (End of Chapter)
