Chapter 196: Ksitigarbha becomes a saint. If becoming a saint means being cast into hell forever! Then I will not hesitate.

"Oh no! He's trying to break into the Samsara Palace. Stop him now..."

Nezha shouted loudly, swung his flaming spear and rushed towards the ancestor of the Styx.

Seeing this, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who was standing by, sat cross-legged in front of the gate of the Samsara Hall without saying a word, clasped his hands together, and began to recite Buddhist scriptures.

The dazzling Buddha's light slowly fell from the void accompanied by the sound of chanting, and finally quickly condensed into a huge Buddha's body with eight heads and sixteen arms in front of the Samsara Hall.

The Emperor of Fengdu and others have been killed by the Old Ancestor of the Styx.

At this moment, only Nezha and Ksitigarbha were left in front of the gate of the Samsara Palace.

It’s a pity that their cultivation is too low.

Facing the terrifying saintly pressure from the Styx Patriarch.

Even if they tried their best, they still couldn't stop its progress.

Not long after Nezha rushed forward, he was seriously injured by the ancestor of the Styx.

The same goes for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Although his great Buddha's Dharma body looked extremely powerful and carried with it a thousand-foot-long Buddha light.

But it still failed to cause any harm to the ancestor of the Styx.

The ancestor of the Styx simply raised his hand and waved it lightly, which caused a surging river of blood to directly destroy his entire Buddha body.

The destruction of the Dharma body also dealt a great blow to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

The spirit's aura instantly became weak.

"Hmph~ Just two quasi-saints dare to block my way. They really don't know how to live or die..."

The old man of the Styx had a disdainful smile on his face, and he continued to walk towards the Hall of Samsara.

The King of the East and the Queen Mother of the West followed him consciously.

As the three people approached, the blood river that covered the sky and the sun enveloped the entire Samsara Hall like a tsunami.

Nezha wanted to stand up and resist, but was crushed to the ground by the saintly aura of the Styx Patriarch.

If not for his original body being the Chaos Spirit Pearl born from the Golden Lotus of the Great Dao.

At this moment, the body would have probably been crushed into pieces.

"The Chaos Spirit Pearl Body? Interesting..."

However, after seeing that Nezha's body was transformed from the Chaos Spirit Pearl, the Old Ancestor of the Styx had other ideas.

"Such a good refining material, it would be a pity to kill it."

He drew upon the power of the blood river and wanted to take Nezha away and refine him.

But this time.

Nezha directly threw out the Precious Lotus Lantern and covered himself with the protective magic light of the Precious Lotus Lantern.

But his cultivation is too low.

Even if he holds an innate spiritual treasure of the level of the Precious Lotus Lantern in his hand.

He was still unable to stop the river of blood that was gathered by the old man of the Styx, and soon fell into a disadvantage.

……

"Oh no, oh no! This Styx Patriarch is so cruel and merciless. If Nezha falls into his hands, he will definitely not have a good ending..."

Seeing this, Taiyi Zhenren, who was standing in the crowd, felt a little nervous.

He clenched his fists, wanting to step forward to stop the old man of the Styx.

But at this moment.

Jade Ding Zhenren, who had been paying attention to him, grabbed him.

"Brother, Master is here, please don't do anything stupid..."

"Brother Yu Ding, don't be so easy-going. If the person facing a desperate situation now was your disciple, would you also stand by and watch?"

"Ah, this..."

After hearing what Taiyi Zhenren said, Yuding Zhenren was suddenly speechless.

Upon seeing this, Taiyi Zhenren shook off his hand without hesitation and instantly appeared next to Nezha.

"Disciple, let me lend you a helping hand!"

Taiyi Zhenren placed his hands on Nezha and injected all his magic power into him, trying to help Nezha control the Precious Lotus Lantern.

When the old man of the Styx saw Taiyi Zhenren take action, the expression on his face changed slightly.

He is not afraid of Taiyi Zhenren.

But the other party is Yuanshi Tianzun's direct disciple after all. If I hurt him,

I'm afraid it will cause misunderstanding from Yuanshi Tianzun.

And the other side.

See Taiyi Zhenren help Nezha.

The other twelve golden immortals shook their heads helplessly.

Their master Yuanshi Tianzun is here now.

Taiyi Zhenren's action now is tantamount to making his position clear to Yuanshi Tianzun.

He is openly disobeying his master's orders!

"Master, why are you here?"

Nezha was also a little surprised at this moment.

Because he never thought that Taiyi Zhenren would come to help him at this moment.

"Nonsense, I am your master. If I don't come, who else can come?"

Master Taiyi cursed, but a rare look of doting appeared in his eyes.

Nezha was quite moved when he heard this.

He grew up under discrimination and cold eyes from others.

Even his own father dislikes him.

Only in front of Taiyi Zhenren could he feel a little warmth from his family.

And now, Taiyi Zhenren is risking being punished by Yuanshi Tianzun and coming to help him regardless of his own safety.

This made his guilt towards Taiyi Zhenren even deeper.

"--boom!!!"

However, just when Taiyi Zhenren took action.

Suddenly, a shocking breath came from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

"The pressure from the saint... Is this guy going to attain enlightenment?"

Taiyi Zhenren turned his head and looked at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Now is the time when the Taoist ancestor Hongjun is integrating Taoism.

Limited by the rules of the avenue.

Anyone who attains sainthood during this period will be led away by the divine light of the Great Dao and become nourishment for repairing the Great Dao.

This Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not attain enlightenment earlier or later, but chose to attain enlightenment at this very moment. Isn't this seeking death?
"Ksitigarbha, please stop it quickly. If you become a saint now, you will be assimilated by the Great Dao..."

While Nezha was controlling the Precious Lotus Lantern to resist the blood river of the Styx Patriarch, he shouted loudly to Ksitigarbha.

Although he is not familiar with Ksitigarbha!
But in the short time that the two of them had just spent guarding the Samsara Palace together, they had already become friends of life and death.

He didn't want to watch the other party being assimilated by the Great Dao and fall into an irretrievable situation.

However, at this moment, Ksitigarbha had made up his mind and would not give up because of Nezha's words.

"Nezha, you should know very well that only saints can stop saints. It is impossible for the two of us to stop them."

"But you will also be scared to death if you do this."

"Amitabha, if I don't go to hell, who will?"

Ksitigarbha did not explain too much to Nezha. After saying this, he clasped his hands together, reflecting all the golden light of his merits and virtues, and transformed into a giant Buddha that covered the sky and the sun.

Over the past countless thousands of years, he has been saving the souls of the dead in the depths of the underworld. Based on the philosophy of "not becoming a Buddha until hell is empty", he has accumulated a great deal of merit.

If he wanted to become a Buddha or a saint, he could have done it long ago.

The reason why he didn't go to preach before was because he wanted to fulfill his promise!
If hell is not empty, I will never become a Buddha!
but now.

He no longer cared about that.

If you become a saint, you will fall into the Avici Hell forever!

Then he would not hesitate.

"What does this guy want to do?"

Looking at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who was enveloped in layers of Buddha's light of merit and virtue and whose cultivation aura was rising rapidly, Queen Mother of the West suddenly had a bad premonition.
