Rogue Cultivators Defect to the Immortal Court
In an instant, almost all the myriad beings of the Primordial Wilderness world knew this "secret".
The higher the cultivation level of the Demon Clan, the better the quality of the pills and Magic Treasure refined from their corpses!
This news held little appeal for those Quasi-Sage Great Powers stood at the pinnacle of the Primordial Wilderness.
However, for the vast majority of beings below the Quasi-Sage level, especially those cultivators who suffer from a lack of cultivation resources and slow progress, this is a different story.
Its allure is simply immeasurable!
Although intimidated by Eastern Emperor Taiyi's overwhelming ferocity and the Demon Clan's overwhelming power, no one dared to openly provoke the Demon Clan race for the time being.
But secretly, countless greedy eyes have already set their sights on the Demon Clan.
Those Rogue cultivator who were being hunted down by Taiyi and had nowhere to run were filled with resentment and unwillingness.
They believed that Taiyi dared to slaughter them so recklessly.
It's simply because their cultivation level is low, and they don't have a powerful force behind them to rely on.
If they had a powerful force backing them, comparable to the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, would Taiyi still dare to be so arrogant?
This idea spread rapidly among Rogue cultivator.
As a result, a large number of Rogue cultivator flocked to Penglai Immortal Island in search of protection, sought refuge with the East King Duke, and joined the Immortal Court.
This made the East King Duke extremely happy.
Taiyi's bloody massacre, on the contrary, brought him so much "new life force", which made the strength Fortune of his Immortal Court rise accordingly.
Although most of these Rogue cultivator who came to join them were not highly skilled, with very few even reaching the Daluo Golden Immortal, their sheer number was overwhelming!
The addition of so many immortals greatly enhanced the power of the Myriad Immortals Formation.
This greatly boosted the confidence of the East King Duke.
As for accepting these Rogue cultivator, would that offend the Demon Clan?
The East King Duke scoffed and paid no attention.
The Immortal Court and the Demon Clan have always been rivals, and they've long disliked each other. What difference does it make whether they offend each other or not?
Moreover, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun has already Imperial Edict Saint are not allowed to interfere with the operation of the Primordial Wilderness at will.
As long as he doesn't initiate a major war with the Demon Clan, even if Nuwa is Saint of the Demon Clan, she cannot openly protect the Demon Clan or attack his Immortal Court.
Even Saint wouldn't intervene; the mere Demon Clan is nothing to the East King Duke!
Meanwhile, Taiyi, who was clearing out Rogue cultivator Shangqing the Primordial Wilderness, soon learned that a large number of Rogue cultivator had defected to the Immortal Court, and that the East King Duke had accepted them all.
"Dong! Wang! Gong!"
Taiyi was furious, Surrounding Body was engulfed in the True Sun Fire, almost incinerating the void.
"You're asking for it!"
He never expected that his drastic measures would not only fail to completely solve the problem.
Instead, it benefited the East King Duke, allowing that clown to reap the benefits for nothing!
What he found even more intolerable was that East King Duke's actions were undoubtedly a blatant provocation against the dignity of his Demon Clan!
"Pass on my order!" Taiyi roared, "Army, turn around! Target: Penglai Immortal Island!"
"I, the Emperor, would like to see what kind of audacity the East King Duke has to harbor those Rogue cultivator who are enemies of my Demon Clan race!"
Above the East Sea, Yao Qi soared to the heavens.
Taiyi led his elite Demon Clan army, hovering majestically outside Penglai Immortal Island.
Taiyi's body flickered with the true fire of the sun, and he roared, "Duke of the East, get out here for me!"
Before long, celestial light began to shimmer above Penglai Immortal Island.
Surrounded by a group of high-ranking officials from the Immortal Court, the East King Duke slowly emerged from the island.
Behind him stood a densely packed group of Immortal Court cultivators.
Many of them still looked shaken; they were the Rogue cultivator who had fled from all over the Primordial Wilderness to seek refuge with the Immortal Court.
He looked at Taiyi with a faint smile on his face.
"Oh, isn't this His Eastern Emperor the Your Majesty?"
"What do you mean by leading your Demon Army to my Immortal Court with such imposing force?"
"Could it be that you intend to start a war with my Immortal Court?"
The fury in Taiyi's golden pupils intensified, almost bursting forth.
"East King Duke, stop pretending to be ignorant with me!"
"Don't you know why I've come?"
He looked at the East King Duke, his tone icy. "Hand over all those Rogue cultivator cultivators who hunted my Demon Clan members and defected to your Immortal Court!"
"Otherwise, today, I, the Emperor, will make your Penglai Immortal Island a river of blood!"
"Hand over the person?" Upon hearing this, the East King Duke burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Taiyi, you think way too highly of yourself!"
"Since those cultivators have joined my Immortal Court, they are now my Immortal Court and are under my Immortal Court. This is only natural!"
You want me to hand over the people? Dream on!
"I'd like to see just how impolite you are! Do you really think my Immortal Court is made of clay?!"
The East King Duke responded sharply, his momentum in no way diminished.
Behind the East King Duke, the Immortal Court Immortal also began to stir up a commotion.
"Exactly! You want us to hand over the people? Dream on!"
"So what if you're Demon Clan? This is the East Sea! This is my Immortal Court's territory!"
"Eastern Emperor Taiyi, cease your arrogance!"
Taiyi flashed with murderous intent. "Good, good, good!"
"East King Duke, it seems you're determined to be an enemy of my Demon Clan!"
"So what if we become enemies with your Demon Clan?" East King Duke scoffed, showing no fear whatsoever.
"I've long disliked your Demon Clan race!"
"Today, I will show you that my Immortal Court is not to be trifled with!"
"Utterly arrogant! You're courting death!"
Taiyi was completely enraged, and a terrifying pressure spread out as if it were a tangible force.
Golden flames surged Surrounding Body he took a step forward, staring directly at the East King Duke, his fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.
"East King Duke, do you dare to challenge me to a battle?!"
"Let me see just how much you, the so-called ruler of the Immortal Court, really amount to!"
"What is there to be afraid of!" East King Duke was not afraid at all. He also took a step forward, and his Surrounding Body shone with immortal light.
"I've long wanted to experience His Eastern Emperor the Your Majesty's skills firsthand! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"
Before the words were even finished, the two of them vanished from their spot.
The next moment, high in the sky above the East Sea outside Penglai Immortal Island, two Dao Body collided fiercely!
Rumble--!
The terrifying aftershocks of energy spread out, instantly creating towering waves on the sea!
The Demon Army and the Immortal Court soldiers below collided fiercely like two torrents, their battle cries shaking the heavens.
On the East Sea, Taiyi grew increasingly alarmed as the battle raged on.
He originally thought that with his Mid Quasi-Saint cultivation, taking down the East King Duke would be a piece of cake.
However, losing the Chaos Bell, this supreme treasure, did indeed significantly impact his combat strength.
The Dragon Head Staff in the hands of the East King Duke was Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, with extraordinary power, and it actually fought him to a standstill.
"Taiyi, is this all you've got?" East King Duke mocked as he resisted the erosion of the True Sun Fire.
"I thought you, the Eastern Emperor of the Demon Clan, were something special! But it seems you're nothing special after all!"
"Without the Chaos Bell, your strength seems to have decreased quite a bit!"
"With your current state, you think you can flatten my Penglai Immortal Island? That's utterly delusional!"
"Hahahaha! How arrogant you were back then, relying on the power of the supreme treasure! You're nothing but a shadow of your former self today!"
These words were undoubtedly like rubbing salt into Taiyi's wounds.
The theft of the Chaos Bell is a wound that will never heal, and now that the East King Duke has reopened that wound in front of him, it has only fueled his rage.
"East King Duke! You're courting death!"
