When he realized that the person who came was Qing Huan, the anger and humiliation that had been building up for tens of thousands of Kalpa erupted like a volcano.
It struggled violently, causing the chains of order to rattle and emit a series of Heavenly Dao roars.
"Qing Huan! You despicable scoundrel!"
The East Prince's voice was hoarse and shrill, filled with the meaning of a curse.
"It was you! You threatened and coerced me into replacing the Immortal Court Phoenix Clan to suppress this damned Volcano of Immortality! It was you who ruined my Immortal Court's Great Dao!"
He struggled fiercely, the runes on the chains flashing as they tightened their hold on him, but he still roared defiantly:
"I suffer here day and night, tormented by the burning of karmic fire and the scorching of the poisonous fire from the earth's core!"
"I'm living a life worse than death! It's all your fault! I curse you! I curse you to have your Great Dao Collapsed, your body and your Dao vanish, and to never be reborn!"
The vicious curses echoed in the scorching space, sounding particularly jarring.
Qing Huan's expression was calm, as if he were listening to the gentle breeze rustling across the hillside.
He even shook his head slightly and made two "tsk tsk" sounds, as if he were sighing over something.
"Tens of thousands of Kalpa passed, Fellow East Prince, your temper is still as fierce as ever."
Qing Huan's voice remained calm, without the slightest hint of anger, "Unfortunately, if you were truly the Chaos Demon God who wields the origin of curses, your curse might still possess some power."
Unfortunately, you are not like that. Your resentment is merely a waste of your energy, bringing no benefit to yourself and making me feel like an ant trying to shake a tree.
Yuanfeng, who was standing nearby, twitched her lips slightly as she listened.
This East Prince, even in his current state, still can't see reality clearly.
Not to mention that the destruction of the Immortal Court was due to the fact that both the Lich King and the Witch and Demon seemed to want to eliminate the Immortal Court, the role played by the Qing Huan Sage was far more complex than he imagined.
His boast of "unifying the Primordial Wilderness" alone is enough to make one wonder if the countless Kalpa of imprisonment and karmic erosion have clouded his judgment.
"Ridicule?"
The East Prince revealed a mocking and twisted smile. "Hmph! You came here today just to see how pathetic this Immortal Emperor is now? Come on! Look to your heart's content! Hahaha!"
He burst into manic laughter.
Qing Huan sighed softly, a hint of pity in his voice:
"Fellow East Prince, even now, you remain stubbornly deluded."
I think you should really thank me; if it weren't for that, you wouldn't be alive today.
"Back when the Witch and Demon slaughtered the Immortal Court, your True Spirit was shattered, your body and soul perished, how could you still have the chance to roar here?"
"Fart!"
The East Prince, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, interrupted sharply.
"Our Immortal Court has ten thousand immortals paying homage, protected by the Myriad Immortals Great Formation, whose power is boundless!"
Why should we fear the demon race of Di Jun and Tai Yi? Not to mention those Witch Clan who only cultivate their physical bodies and know nothing of divination!
His eyes were unfocused, as if he were lost in his own fantasy:
"It's all your fault! You colluded with Di Jun and Tai Yi, plotting in secret to break my Myriad Immortals Great Formation!"
Otherwise, I, the East Prince, would have long since unified the Primordial Wilderness, become the true ruler of all immortals, and wielded the power of heaven and earth! How could I have ended up like this! Hahaha!"
He burst into wild laughter again, his laughter filled with resentment and madness.
Yuanfeng couldn't bear to listen any longer and couldn't help but glance sideways. This East Prince was truly possessed.
Although the Myriad Immortals Great Formation was powerful, the Immortal Court at that time was composed of both good and bad forces. How could it possibly contend with the Demon Clan, who were at the Great Formation of the Stars, as well as the Witch Clan, whose Dutian Divine Fiend Formation could summon the Pangu True Body?
Not to mention unifying the Primordial Wilderness, that's just wishful thinking.
It seems that the long imprisonment not only eroded his strength but also destroyed his sanity.
Qing Huan shook his head and said no more.
Arguing with a prisoner lost in his own fantasies is pointless.
His visit today may simply be to check on the condition of this "old friend" and settle a lingering karmic Karma.
He turned to Yuanfeng and said calmly, "Now that this matter is settled, I'm leaving."
Before Yuanfeng could respond, his figure vanished like a dream, disappearing from the bottom of the Volcano of Immortality filled with karmic fire, resentment, and madness.
Yuanfeng left behind, looking at the East Prince who was still struggling, roaring, and cursing on his chains. A trace of pity flashed in her eyes, but more than that, a resolute determination.
The current state of the East Prince serves as a cautionary tale.
In this Primordial World, strength reigns supreme, and it is essential to understand the grand scheme of things and know how to make the right choices. The Phoenix Clan must never repeat the mistakes of the past.
Right now, a tremendous opportunity has presented itself to help the Phoenix Clan escape their predicament and rise from the ashes!
Ignoring the noise behind her, Yuanfeng vanished from the oppressive prison in a flash. She returned to the Southern Bright Leaving Fire Palace and immediately summoned all the remaining core members of the Phoenix Clan.
Inside the palace, the atmosphere was solemn and dignified. Besides Yuanfeng, there were several Phoenix Elders with powerful auras, but also bearing faint traces of karma, as well as some young descendants with pure bloodlines.
Yuanfeng recounted in detail the descent of the Qing Huan Sage and the matter of the human race's totem.
Upon hearing the news, the entire palace fell into a deathly silence, which was then followed by an uncontrollable surge of excitement and discussion.
"To become the totem of humanity? To share in the Luck of the future Protagonist of Heaven and Earth?"
"Is... is this true? Did the Sage himself say it?"
"If we succeed, the karma of our clan can be completely eradicated!"
"Heaven has not forsaken my Phoenix Clan!"
Several elders were moved to tears, having witnessed the Phoenix Clan's fall from its peak to its lowest point, and deeply understood the pain and despair of bearing karma.
How could I not be excited now that hope has been rekindled?
"Silence!" Yuanfeng's authoritative voice rang out, silencing the commotion.
Her gaze swept over every member of her clan present, and she said in a deep voice, "The Sage has given us guidance; the opportunity has arrived."
However, the Sage also said that the key to this matter lies in gaining the approval of the contemporary Human Emperor, Fuxi. It requires moving people with sincerity, not coercing them with force.
The success or failure of this mission concerns the survival and future of our people; we cannot afford to fail!
An elder exclaimed excitedly, "Clan leader! This is our clan's only chance of survival! We must succeed no matter what! We are willing to give our all!"
Yes! Give it your all!
The Phoenix Tribe responded in unison, their fighting spirit soaring.
Yuanfeng nodded:
"Very well! In that case, I, the clan leader, will personally travel to the human realm to meet with the Human Emperor Fuxi. You all guard the Ancestral Land well and await good news."
"Wouldn't it be too risky for the clan leader to go personally? Wouldn't it be better for me to do it?"
An elder expressed his concern.
Although Yuanfeng is at the peak of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm, her karma has not been completely eliminated. Staying away from the Volcano of Immortality for too long may cause inconvenience.
Yuanfeng waved her hand in rejection:
"No. This matter is of great importance, and it is not enough to show sincerity if I do not go in person. Moreover, when facing the future Human Emperor, it would be insufficient for ordinary clansmen to go."
As for karma... for the sake of the race, a little backlash is something I can bear!
