Return

Blood splattered, and a wound deep enough to see bone appeared.

Bai Ze cried out in pain, sent flying by the heavy blow.

Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, watching from the rear, sensed something was wrong with Bai Ze, but the incident happened too quickly for them to react.

Seeing Bai Ze injured, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi immediately transformed into a streak of light and charged towards the middle-aged man.

In the Loose Immortal Alliance, East King Duke was rejoicing at the middle-aged man injuring Bai Ze.

Unexpectedly, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi personally launched a surprise attack.

"Little—" East King Duke hurriedly called out a warning.

Before he could finish speaking, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi's Chaos Bell smashed down on the middle-aged man, instantly obliterating him, body and soul.

"Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, you've gone too far!" East King Duke roared.

He then took out the Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the Dragon Head Crutch, tossed it into the air, and quickly formed seals with his hands.

Various Dharma seals were infused into the crutch.

A dragon's roar echoed across the battlefield, and a nine-clawed golden dragon appeared, its aura astonishing, already reaching the mid-stage Quasi-Saint realm.

This nine-clawed golden dragon was the transformation of the Dragon Head Crutch. This treasure contained an Innate Dragon Soul and possessed extraordinary power.

At the same time, East King Duke held a fiery red longsword in his hand, its blade blazing and its aura sharp.

He charged straight at Eastern Emperor Tai Yi with the sword.

On the other side, the nine-clawed golden dragon was intercepted by Di Jun.

East King Duke knew he was no match for the two of them, but he had no retreat and could only fight to the death.

He raised his sword and shouted, "Power of Extreme Yang, gather within me, Meteor Sun Kill!"

The yang energy in heaven and earth surged towards him.

The next moment, a sword energy of utmost yang and extreme hardness erupted from the longsword, slashing directly at Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi showed no fear and struck the Chaos Bell with all his might.

"Clang—"

The bell's resonance, ancient chaotic sounds, swept through the void, meeting the sword energy.

The two forces collided violently, the void cracked, heaven and earth shook, and the sea churned.

The residual waves spread like a tide, instantly turning the nearby Demon Clan and Loose Immortal Alliance cultivators into dust.

At the same time, the Six Great Demon Sages led ten billion demon soldiers to charge at the Loose Immortal Alliance army.

In an instant, the two sides' soldiers and generals clashed.

With billions of beings fighting, soldiers fell every moment, their screams and battle cries shaking heaven and earth.

The battlefield gradually turned into a Sea of Blood, with mountains of corpses, countless grotesque forms. The dense, malevolent bloody aura condensed into a tangible substance, dyeing the sky for thousands of miles.

War has always been cruel.

Soldier against soldier, general against general, king against king.

The great armies continued their slaughter, while East King Duke, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, Di Jun, the Six Great Demon Sages, and the high-ranking officials of the Loose Immortal Alliance were still locked in fierce combat.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye, with countless casualties on both the Demon Clan and the Loose Immortal Alliance.

Under Eastern Emperor Tai Yi's fierce assault, East King Duke gradually became disheveled, and he realized that the golden dragon, transformed from the Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, could no longer hold on.

He sighed helplessly, knowing he had to use his trump card.

East King Duke forced Eastern Emperor Tai Yi back with a sword strike, retreated, and shouted, "Form the Myriad Immortals Formation!"

Before his voice fell, the Myriad Immortals Formation Diagram appeared from within him, emitting profound fluctuations.

Many members of the Loose Immortal Alliance gathered upon hearing the call, and in a flash, the Myriad Immortals Formation was initially formed.

Leveraging the power of the great formation, East King Duke quickly cleared out the surrounding demon soldiers.

As more Loose Immortals joined, the Myriad Immortals Formation's power increased exponentially, its crushing momentum becoming even more ferocious.

Seeing the Demon Clan being slaughtered, Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi were enraged.

"Do only you have great formations? Does our Demon Clan not?" Di Jun's eyes turned red as he muttered to himself.

"Demon Clan, heed my command, deploy the Zhou Tian Star Formation," Di Jun shouted loudly.

As Di Jun's voice fell, the River Map and Luo Shu flew out from within him, emitting boundless light.

The Six Great Demon Sages and the demon generals around them quickly gathered by Di Jun, taking up specific positions.

As everyone took their places, the River Map and Luo Shu shone even brighter, drawing upon the vast power of the stars to continuously enhance the formation's might.

Li Peng sensed the fluctuations emanating from the two great formations, his expression grave. He detected a hint of threat from the formations.

Clearly, these formations could now pose a certain threat to him.

It should be known that the Zhou Tian Star Formation was not yet complete, and the Star Banners had yet to appear.

If this formation were perfected, it would possess combat power comparable to a Saint.

If Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi were to use this formation to kill him, would Li Peng have any means to deal with it?

In an instant, an unprecedented sense of crisis washed over Li Peng's heart.

After a moment of aimless thought, Li Peng came back to his senses.

"Why am I thinking about this? The most important thing right now is to plunder the treasures on Loose Immortal Island!" he thought.

Without further hesitation, Li Peng's figure transformed into a stream of light, heading straight for Loose Immortal Island.

Upon entering the island, he immediately cast the Invisibility Technique and flew directly towards places where formations or powerful restrictions were set up.

In the past, such a simple invisibility technique would surely have been seen through by the experts on the island.

But now, there were no experts left on Loose Immortal Island, and even the soldiers were almost gone, leaving only servants and young disciples without combat ability.

This, in turn, made things easier for Li Peng, allowing him to plunder the entire island without any scruples.

Soon, Li Peng arrived at a formation he had previously scouted. As far as he knew, this was East King Duke's residence.

Without hesitation, he immediately began to ** the formation.

This formation was not profound, and it only took Li Peng one day to successfully break it open.

It was not difficult to understand why East King Duke's residence did not have powerful formations.

Everyone on Loose Immortal Island was his subordinate, and there was also a guardian formation protecting the island. If even the guardian formation couldn't hold, what use would the formations in his residence be?

Therefore, East King Duke had not set up strong ** restrictions in his residence.

As soon as Li Peng stepped into East King Duke's residence, he saw a giant willow tree.

Sensing the spatial fluctuations emanating from the willow tree, he exclaimed in disbelief, "Could this be the Hollow Willow formed from the true body of the Space Demon God?"

But immediately he frowned and muttered to himself, "No, according to the original trajectory of the Primordial Era, the Hollow Willow formed by the Space Demon God should be Ancestor Yang Mei's. Why is there another one here?"

Unable to figure it out, Li Peng decided not to dwell on it and directly collected the Hollow Willow into the Chaos Yin-Yang Pagoda.

With such an opportunity before him, he would take it first.

As for why it was here, he could explore it later.

Next, Li Peng began his plundering.

"Mid-Grade Innate Spirit Root Star Grass? Not bad, I'll take it!"

"Low-Grade Innate Spirit Root Purple Jade Apricot Tree? It's alright, I'll take it!"

"Top-Grade Acquired Spirit Root Blazing Sun Vermilion Fruit? I'll take that too!"

He rummaged through East King Duke's backyard, collecting everything that was an Acquired Spirit Root or higher in grade.

Whether he could use it or not? Li Peng didn't care.

He wasn't going to let it benefit anyone else.

Before long, the backyard was completely swept clean.

Li Peng looked at the bare courtyard, nodded with satisfaction, and turned to search East King Duke's room.

Unfortunately, there were no Spiritual Treasures in the room.

It was understandable, as cultivators would carry their treasures with them; who would leave them in their rooms?

Li Peng then rushed to the next location with formations and restrictions.

After searching more than a dozen residences of the Loose Immortal Alliance's high-ranking members, he only obtained a few Mid-Grade Innate Spirit Roots and no Spiritual Treasures, which left him slightly disappointed.

However, he did not lose heart and continued to the next location.

After searching a few more places, Li Peng finally encountered a place with exceptionally powerful formations and restrictions.

His heart rejoiced – the more important the place, the stricter the guarding.

The formations here were more than twice as strong as those in East King Duke's residence, which meant this place was even more important!

Li Peng did not hesitate and immediately began to break the formation.

However, just as he started, he heard a violent ** sound from afar, and the entire Loose Immortal Island began to shake.

"These people are too fierce! Even Loose Immortal Island is shaking non-stop...

No, I need to speed up!"

Li Peng muttered to himself.

After speaking, Li Peng continued to ** the formation in front of him.

Two months passed, and he finally opened the restrictions here.

When he walked in, the scene before him sent him into ecstasy.

It turned out to be a treasure vault.

Why was there a treasure vault?

There's no need to doubt it, it truly exists.

Although most cultivators possess storage spirit treasures, who can guarantee they'll never fall?

If it were someone who traveled alone, carrying all their wealth would be fine, but the spirit treasures and materials of a major power could never be kept by just one person, because these resources belong to the entire faction, not an individual.

Li Peng gazed at the spirit treasures shimmering with treasure light and mountains of materials filling the room, sighing inwardly:

"Is East King Duke so out of touch with the times? With war imminent, he still left these treasures here, doesn't he even know to equip his subordinates?" he muttered to himself.

Actually, he had wronged East King Duke.

It wasn't that East King Duke hadn't considered distributing the spirit treasures to his subordinates, but these Innate Spiritual Treasures were not easy to refine; initial refinement alone would take at least a century, and with the Demon Clan's invasion imminent, there simply wasn't enough time for anyone to refine the magical treasures.

Therefore, these spirit treasures remained in the treasury, which Li Peng obtained.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Peng immediately began to ransack the treasure vault.

"Low-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Hunyuan Staff, take!"

"Mid-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Blazing Sun Sword, take!"

"One Yuan Meeting Meteorite Iron, take!"

"Innate Star Gold Crystal, take!"

With a smile on his face, he unceremoniously collected all the treasures into the Chaos Yin-Yang Pagoda.

Suddenly, Li Peng's eyes lit up, and he looked at five treasure pearls with great surprise.

"This... this is the Innate Five Spirits Pearls! I finally found them!" he exclaimed with laughter, then quickly stored the Five Spirits Pearls into his System space.

"I only need the Four Symbols Pearl to gather the materials to synthesize the Chaos Bead," he murmured.

Just as he was lost in thought, violent tremors and roars suddenly came from outside, and the entire treasure vault shook.

"The fighting outside is really intense...

I need to speed up, or I won't complete the scavenging mission."

Li Peng dared not delay and continued to collect everything at full speed.

It wasn't until he had completely cleared out all the areas known to have formations and restrictions that the System's prompt finally sounded.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully scavenging Loose Immortal Island and completing Choice Three!

Reward: 100,000 years of Magic Power, one Spiritual Treasure Restriction Refining Card."

Listening to the continuous roars from outside and feeling the constantly shaking Loose Immortal Island, Li Peng thought, "It seems the fighting outside is quite fierce... Should I stay and watch the show before leaving?"

The thought had barely surfaced before he forcefully suppressed it.

After all, Li Peng had just plundered Loose Immortal Island clean. If anyone discovered him there, neither the Loose Immortal Island side nor the Demon Clan would let him go.

To the Loose Immortal Alliance, Li Peng had taken all their treasures;

and to the Demon Clan, Li Peng had snatched their spoils of war.

No matter which side, there was no reason to let him go.

Moreover, Li Peng didn't have a good relationship with East King Duke, Di Jun, or Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.

If given the chance, these three would undoubtedly join forces to eliminate him without hesitation.

With this in mind, Li Peng quickly flew to the edge of Loose Immortal Island and transformed into a fish, diving into the water.

Once in the water, he turned into a streak of light and fled into the distance.

It wasn't until he was a considerable distance away from Loose Immortal Island that Li Peng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the moment he relaxed, a shrill and desperate voice rang out:

"Since you won't let me live, then you'll all die with me!"

Hearing this voice, Li Peng thought, "What exactly did Di Jun and Tai Yi do to East King Duke to make him let out such a tragic cry? Could it be..."

Before he could finish his thought, a world-shattering ** sound erupted.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Sensing the powerful fluctuation, Li Peng couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, East King Duke actually **!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, a powerful shockwave surged towards him.

Li Peng had no time to react before being hit by the shockwave.

Although he wasn't injured, other creatures in the surrounding sea were not so lucky. The entire area instantly became a dead zone.

Seeing this, Li Peng sighed, "The Primordial Era world is a place where the strong prey on the weak. Without sufficient strength, even if you don't provoke others, you could still be annihilated by the aftershocks of their battles!"

At this moment, his desire to become stronger became even more urgent.

Just as Li Peng was lamenting, several heartbroken cries rang out:

"Alliance Leader! I'm coming to join you!"

"Alliance Leader! I'm coming to join you!"
