When the Demon Court's army invaded Hades, the two ancestors of Styx and Blood Sea immediately felt that there was a heavy pressure on their shoulders that they had never seen before.
Under the command of the demon master Kunpeng, the Demon Court army carefully avoided the location of the Yehuo Red Lotus. Instead, they focused on controlling the various nodes of the Styx River and built strongholds on Huangquan Road to provide the Demon Court army with training.
This made the two ancestors of Styx and Blood Sea, even if they had no strength, they had nowhere to vent, and all their abilities fell to the Demon Court army, and seven or eight points of their hands were taken off their hands.
As for the Demon Court's power in the underworld, it can be said that as time passes, and with the construction of strongholds on Huangquan Road, it continues to expand every moment.
Ancestor Styx soon discovered to his horror that for the first time since he took charge of the Karma Red Lotus, his control over Styx was declining.
The Yaksha legions loyal to themselves shrank little by little, gradually shrinking from being spread over thousands of Styx waters to being centered around the Karma Fire Red Lotus.
Because when Patriarch Styx was in charge of the Red Lotus of Karma, his combat effectiveness could be said to have increased several times, and more importantly, he had a natural suppressive effect on the soul.
Therefore, after the first failed crusade, the shrewd Yaoting carefully avoided the Karma Red Lotus and started from the waters far away from the Red Lotus.
You must know that Dao Ancestor Hongjun made it clear long ago that for Ye Huo Honglian, Ancestor Ming He was not his real master.
The real owner of the Red Lotus of Karma is the one with great perseverance and great ambition, so the Styx Ancestor is now just an escrow.
Therefore, Patriarch Styx's control over the Karma Red Lotus is limited to a certain geographical area, and he cannot move freely with the Karma Red Lotus.
There is one exception to this, and that is when Hades encounters a life-and-death crisis. The last crisis was when the Witch Clan invaded Hades.
When this kind of crisis occurs in the underworld, Ancestor Styx's control over the Red Lotus of Karma will temporarily rise to a higher level. Not only can he move freely within the entire underworld, but he can also connect with the sea of blood to resonate and enhance his combat power.
After all, Blood Sea's heels come from the World-Destroying Black Lotus, so when the Red Lotus and the Black Lotus resonate, the combat effectiveness is increased exponentially.
When the Witch Clan launched an invasion of Hades in its heyday, they faced such a surge of water in the Hades, and the terrifying power finally made them retreat.
Because they felt that facing such a Styx, even if they used the Wu clan's trump card, Pangu's true form, the best result would be that both sides would suffer and perish together.
What's more, due to the characteristics of the unity of spirit and body, the Witch Clan is naturally restrained when they fight in the underworld. I am afraid that even if Pangu's true body is summoned, the situation will not be much improved.
However, this invasion of the Demon Court is not a life and death crisis, because the Demon Court, unlike the Witch Clan, does not want to devour the power that protects the River Styx, but replaces them in controlling the River Styx.
The River Styx is crucial to the operation of this world, so when someone threatens its protective power, some emergency actions will be taken spontaneously.
But if it is just a struggle between two forces, and the competition is for dominance over the guardianship of the Styx, the Styx will not trigger any emergency actions.
In this way, Patriarch Styx was miserable. He couldn't fully exert the power of Karma Red Lotus like he did when dealing with the Witch Clan in the past. Naturally, he could only restrain his hands when fighting.
The situation faced by the Blood Sea Ancestor is actually worse than that of the Styx Ancestor, because after all, the blood sea's heels are not as good as Styx.
The River Styx is the sea of souls that flowed from the Fire Red Lotus after Pangu opened the world. It belongs to the top existence in this world.
However, although the heels of the Blood Sea can be traced back to the Chaos Five-Colored Lotus, they are just the blood that flowed out after Luo Hu was contaminated with the World-Destroying Black Lotus. They are much weaker than the heels of the Styx.
So after all-night research on the Demon Court's side, it was quickly discovered that although the Demon Court could not increase or decrease it even a single cent, it could be done here in the Blood Sea.
Soon a magic circle was developed specifically for the blood sea. By placing this magic circle in the stronghold on Huangquan Road, the blood sea near the stronghold could be drained.
Although the effectiveness of this magic circle is limited after all, and it is impossible to drain the entire sea of blood, it is still possible to drain some marginal areas.
The land of Hades has never changed much since the Battle of Rahu thousands of years ago. The River Styx and the Sea of Blood are the main bodies of the Underworld, and the two are isolated by the narrow Underworld Road.
However, with the battle between the Demon Court and the forces of Hades, this situation has finally changed, and the area of the blood sea has been shrinking due to the magic circle.
Huangquan Road is no longer all long and narrow roads, and there are even vast plains in some places, allowing Yaoting to build a wider base here.
In other words, it can no longer be called a stronghold, but a real city, and in the center of the city, a palace belonging to the underworld is built imitating the Lingxiao Palace.
When players see this, they will understand that these palaces built by the Demon Court in the Hades today are probably the prototype of the Ten Palaces of Yama in the future.
Of course, no matter whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, not even a ghost can be found, so the Ten Halls of Yama are temporarily held by the demon clan.
And as the palaces of Hades were built one after another on the Huangquan Road, a powerful seal was built from them, blocking the passage between the River Styx and the Sea of Blood.
However, the Huangquan Road is so long and narrow that it seems endless, and it is always possible to find some loopholes in the seal, allowing the Yaksha Legion to shuttle between each other.
However, as the Demon Court gradually controls the waters of the Styx River, the significance of this gap begins to decline, because the Yaksha Legion on the Styx Ancestor's side has gradually shrunk to the vicinity of the Karma Red Lotus.
In this way, if you travel through the gaps in other places, it means that you still need to travel a long journey before you can join the forces of the Styx Ancestor. This process will undoubtedly cause serious losses.
Another method is to gather elite forces and forcefully attack the seal under the leadership of the two ancestors. This is indeed possible to break through the blockade of Huangquan Road.
However, this behavior did not have much effect on the overall situation of the entire war. Several attacks could not shake the growing power of Demon Court in Hades.
Therefore, as time goes by, the two ancestors of Styx and Blood Sea have fallen into an absolute disadvantage. The reason why they are still gritting their teeth and supporting them now is simply because they still have one thought in their hearts.
That is because the Demon Court has invested so much power in the underworld, it will inevitably loosen its control over the mortal world. Then the Witch Clan will definitely try to counterattack, right? Then doesn’t he have a chance here?
It's a pity that the two ancestors of Styx and Blood Sea did not understand that this era has changed with the emergence of Taoism. Especially the Demon Court has basically controlled the world of the mortal world through many treasures, the Mountain and River Sheji Map and the Book of the Earth. Mountains and rivers.
Even if the Witch Clan takes the opportunity to launch a counterattack, the Demon Court can react in time and chop off their extended claws.
