Deep in the East Sea Region, the winds are high and the waves are rough, with turbulent undercurrents surging beneath the vast blue waves.
Gonggong, the Ancestral Witch, rode two black dragons formed from Profound Nether Heavy Water, moving swiftly across the sea. Wherever he passed, the seawater automatically parted to the sides. Behind him followed Shebishi, the Ancestral Witch of Weather, who was shrouded in a hazy mist, enveloping the surrounding tens of thousands of miles of Sea Region in a strange celestial phenomenon, within which their large army was hidden.
"That East King Duke certainly knows how to pick a location," Gonggong's voice boomed like thunder, causing swathes of coral to collapse on the seabed. "Building his Immortal Court on Penglai Immortal Island, does he really think he's some kind of immortal from overseas?"
Shebishi sensed some movement ahead and manipulated a wisp of gray mist to transform into a thin thread that extended into the distance. "There are fluctuations in the Formations 300,000 miles ahead. We should be approaching the outer defense line of the Immortal Court."
A moment later, the two, leading three million Witch Clan disciples, arrived at the Immortal Court's defensive line.
Gonggong grinned maliciously, his arms bulging with muscles, and suddenly swung them forward.
Two black dragons roared and charged forward, cutting through the seawater in their wake, even creating deep ravines thousands of feet deep in the seabed.
The hidden Immortal Court Formations shattered instantly, and dozens of patrolling cultivators were torn to pieces by the raging torrent before they could even react.
Penglai Immortal Island, Purple Qi Comes from the East Pavilion.
While playing chess with Chi Songzi, East King Duke sensed the movement of the outer Formations and suddenly clenched his fingers, crushing the white jade chess piece into powder with a "snap".
His expression changed drastically, and he abruptly stood up, looking eastward. "Not good! A powerful enemy is attacking!"
Chi Songzi flicked his sleeve and put away the chessboard, calculating with his fingers. "It is Gonggong and Shebishi of the Witch Clan who have broken through the outer three lines of defense in a short time."
When East King Duke heard that it was the Witch Clan who came to cause trouble, his heart tightened. He wondered if the Immortal Court's subordinates who had been sent to stir up trouble had been discovered by the other party.
However, he remained expressionless. He hadn't told anyone else about this, but had secretly sent his trusted confidants to carry it out. For now, he could only pretend to be calm.
"This is utterly outrageous!" The East King Duke's purple robes billowed, and the Pure Yang Sword hanging at his waist emitted a clear, melodious sound. "I haven't even gone to cause them any trouble, yet they've come knocking on my door first! Chi Songzi, follow me to meet the enemy!"
The Two transformed into streaks of light and rushed out of the main hall, with Immortal General constantly gathering along the way.
The East King Duke commanded, "Ring the Alarm Immortal Bell to activate the Island Protection Array! Simultaneously, send a message to the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace to send troops for support!"
On the outer defensive line of the Immortal Court, the Witch Clan army advanced with unstoppable momentum.
Gonggong looked at the golden light screen that suddenly rose in front of him and sneered, "The coward has finally come out." The light screen parted, and East King Duke and Chi Songzi led five million Immortal General and Immortal Soldiers out in formation.
"Gonggong, Shebishi!" The East King Duke pointed his sword at the Ancestral Witch, his voice shaking the four seas. "You the Two led your armies here, invading my Immortal Court's territory without cause. Do you really think I'm afraid of your Witch Clan?"
Shebishi Shiyin interjected with a sinister tone, "East King Duke, what are you pretending to be confused about? You sent your men to infiltrate the heart of my Witch Clan, posing as Demon Clan to sow discord and incite conflict between the Witch-Demon. Do you think my Witch Clan is easy to bully?"
Chi Songzi lightly swept his whisk. "Stop spouting nonsense! Our Immortal Court acts with integrity and uprightness; why would we engage in such despicable acts?"
"Hahaha!" Gonggong laughed loudly, his laughter shaking the surrounding space. "Dare to do it but not admit it? Today I'll tear down your shabby island of the Immortal Court, and see if you still dare to be so stubborn!"
Before he finished speaking, Gonggong had already transformed into a giant a million feet tall and punched the Immortal Court's Great Formation.
East King Duke hurriedly summoned the Pure Yang Sword, its light splitting into countless forms that collided with the heavy fist. The terrifying shockwave instantly evaporated the seawater within a hundred miles, creating a huge vacuum zone.
Seeing this, Chi Songzi immediately made a hand seal to summon the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder to attack Shebishi, who was standing to the side Shebishi sneered and twelve Plague Banner flew out from his sleeve. Instantly, the sky darkened and Poisonous Miasma spread. While blocking the lightning attack, he also launched a counterattack. The battle between the two Quasi-Saint made the entire Sea Region boil, and countless sea creatures fled in panic.
At the same time, the Witch Clan Warriors and the cultivators of the Immortal Court under their respective legions were also engaged in battle.
The Witch Clan is naturally Physical Body strong, and with the help of Gonggong's control over water, they often fight against the Demon Clan. They understand battlefield combat and teamwork better than the Immortal Court members. They are like fish in water on the battlefield. On the other hand, the cultivators of the Immortal Court can only fight individually after their battle formation is broken. They are not used to the celestial formations and do not know how to exert their strength. They are defeated by the Witch Clan.
A Great Witch, wielding a bone spear, easily pierced the Golden Light protective aura of three Immortal General, laughing wildly, "What kind of damned Immortal Court? It's not even as durable as a wild demon from the mountains!"
Just as the main battlefield was raging, Gonggong and Shebishi tied down a significant portion of the forces of East King Duke and the Immortal Court. Meanwhile, Xuanming Ancestral Witch had quietly eliminated the Immortal Court outposts along the coast of the East Sea and began leading his troops into the heart of the East Sea.
Standing atop the Ice Crystal Phoenix, she lightly raised her hand, and the vast Sea Region instantly froze. The Dragon Palace outposts and Immortal Court outposts hidden deep within the coral reefs were frozen solid before they could even sound the alarm.
"We've found the Dragon Palace." Xuanming narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked towards Southern Region. It looked ordinary, but in her eyes, the Crystal Palace hidden by layers of illusions was exposed, and there were also many Shrimp Soldiers and crab generals around it.
Xuanming led the charge towards the Dragon Palace, breaking through more than a dozen of the Dragon Palace's defenses. Before the news could reach the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, they were already close to it.
Xuanming formed hand seals, and the Nine Nether Profound Ice condensed into thousands of ice swords.
"Go!" With her soft shout, ice swords rained down like a storm, causing the Protective Grand Formation outside the Dragon Palace to tremble violently, and countless Shrimp Soldiers were shaken to the ground.
The Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea, hurriedly raised the Dragon Clan Battle Flag and charged out with his Turtle Prime Minister and Yaksha General: "Who dares to invade my Dragon Palace?"
Xuanming didn't answer at all. With a light tap of his jade finger, an extreme cold current swept over. The Turtle Prime Minister's Black Tortoise frosted instantly, and the yaksha Yaksha General's trident froze into an icicle. Ao Guang was shocked and hurriedly spat out the Dragon Pearl to defend himself, but the cold air invaded his meridians, and his entire dragon scales were covered with white frost.
"The Witch Clan ... Xuanming ..." Ao Guang's teeth chattered, his heart filled with horror.
He then understood why the Immortal Court had never dared to confront the Witch and Demon Clans head-on all these years; the Ancestral Witch were indeed too powerful.
Just as the Witch Clan launched a full-scale attack on the Immortal Court and the heartland of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, in the northern Sea Region the East Sea...
Taiyi stood with his hands behind his back on the Golden Crow Chariot, watching the fleeing Immortal Court cultivators ahead, and said calmly, "Pathetic."
Kunpeng chuckled sinisterly as he put away the Profound Nether Heavy Water: "The Queen Mother of the West received the news and has arrived with reinforcements. It seems the East King Duke is being held back by the Witch Clan."
Auspicious clouds gathered in the sky, Queen Mother of the West arrived riding Azure Phoenix, accompanied by Black Bird and three Dragon Clan Giants. Her phoenix eyes held a commanding presence. "Why have His Majesty Your Majesty Eastern Emperor and the Demon Master led their army to invade my Immortal Court's territory?"
Taiyi sneered, "I would like to ask, what are your intentions in disguising your Immortal Court as my Demon Clan and infiltrating the heartland of the Witch Clan to incite conflict Witch and Demon Clans?"
The Black Bird angrily retorted, "Nonsense! When has my Immortal Court ever done such a thing? How could the Queen Mother and I be unaware of it..."
Upon hearing Taiyi's words, and recalling that the Witch Clan had also come to attack their Immortal Court forces, the Queen Mother of the West immediately understood the cause and effect of the matter.
"Black Bird, enough!" The Queen Mother of the West interrupted the Black Bird, saying to Taiyi, "Eastern Emperor, I truly know nothing of what you are saying, but if you wish to fight today, I will gladly oblige!"
