Beyond the Primordial World East Sea, outside the Penglai Immortal Island.
The overwhelming Baleful Qi intertwined with the power of the Stars, dyeing the entire Sea Region a Chaos color of dark red and mysterious yellow.
The four Ancestral Witch of the Witch Clan — Dijiang, Rushou, Gonggong, Shebishi— stood on the waves, with hundreds of millions of Witch Clan Warriors arrayed behind them. Their blood energy soared into the sky, causing Sea Beast within a radius of tens of millions of miles to flee in terror.
"That East King Duke is quite resourceful, learning new tricks." Dijiang sneered, spreading his Yuyi and letting the Space Law flow around him. "He's bound the Penglai Spirit Vein to the Myriad Immortals Formation, drawing Spirit Vein Spiritual Power from the veins to strengthen the Myriad Immortals Formation."
Before his other brothers could speak, he continued, "But it doesn't matter."
His Immortal Court's Fortune had already collapsed by seventy or eighty percent, and there were not enough people to lead the formation. The Myriad Immortals Formation was now just a facade, a death throes.
Just then, a bell suddenly rang out from the sky Chaos Bell rippled through the clouds, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Demon Master Kunpeng led the Ten Great Demon Sages to arrive on the clouds. The phantom of the Heavenly Cycle Stars Great Formation appeared and disappeared above the heads of the Demon Clan army.
"Gentlemen of the Witch Clan, you've moved quite quickly." Taiyi stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the Witch Clan Camp.
Gonggong sneered, "What, the Demon Clan also wants a piece of the pie? Too bad, the Immortal Court is already ours, the Witch Clan!"
Shebishi said, "Weren't you Demon Clan watching our movements the whole time? Otherwise, how could you have arrived so quickly?"
Before Taiyi could speak, the Demon Master Kunpeng had already transformed into a black shadow and rushed to the front of the formation, saying in a chilling tone, "Gonggong, you have quite the arrogance!"
The Immortal Court is on the verge of destruction, and the Fortune will be decided by each individual's own abilities. If you wish to monopolize it, you'll have to ask the Demon Clan for permission first!
Just as tensions were about to rise, a fierce shout suddenly came from Penglai Island from the East King Duke: "Dijiang, Taiyi, you Witch and Demon Clans have gone too far!"
Today I will show you the power of the Myriad Immortals Formation, and let you know that my Immortal Court is not to be trifled with!
You think you can destroy us? Let's see if you have any teeth left!
The Myriad Immortals Formation shone brightly. The East King Duke stood at the center of the formation, holding Dragon Head Cane. The remaining tens of millions of Immortal Court cultivators activated the Formations, frantically drawing out the spiritual energy of Penglai's Earth Vein Spiritual Energy and transforming it into a barrier that enveloped the entire island.
Dijiang narrowed his eyes. "East King Duke, you've finally shown yourself."
He turned to Taiyi, "Eastern Emperor, the old agreement between our two clans is null and void today."
The Immortal Court's Fortune —whoever grabs it gets to keep it!
Taiyi, his golden robes fluttering, said, "Since that's the case, today we formally dissolve the Witch-Demon Alliance Pact."
He raised his hand and tossed out a golden jade scroll, Dijiang Xizi similarly threw out a bone fragment engraved with witchcraft.
The two objects collided in mid-air and turned into dust, which was the proof of the oath made in the Pangu Hall and is now completely useless.
Taiyi laughed heartily, "Just what I wanted!"
He suddenly waved his hand, Chaos Bell crashed down towards the Myriad Immortals Formation! "Demon Clan race warriors, follow me to break the formation!"
"Witch Clan disciples, follow me and kill!" The four Ancestral Witch of the Witch Clan suddenly attacked.
Dijiang tore the barrier with the Spatial Power, Rushou attacked the Formations with the Metal-element Slaughter Power, Gonggong unleashed a tsunami of ten thousand feet to crash into the barrier, Shebishi transformed into Poisonous Miasma to erode the Formations barrier.
Penglai Island, the East King Duke watched this scene through the Water Mirror, his hand gripping the Pure Yang Sword unconsciously clenching tighter.
Chi Songzi stood aside, explaining the situation on the island, "Your Majesty, the Myriad Immortals Formation is ready. It has been connected to the island's Earth Veins through Secret Technique, but of the sixty Daluo Golden Immortal and over three hundred Primordial Unity Golden Immortal at the formation's core... only less than two hundred remain, having gradually escaped."
After years of blockade and oppression by the Witch-Demon, many wandering immortals who could not endure it escaped Penglai through various means. Those who remain are mostly loyal followers or those who are too deeply involved to leave.
"These things are no longer important." East King Duke stroked the cracked edge of the sword. "Those who remain on Penglai Island are all pillars of my Immortal Court. We are no longer afraid of death, but only to fight for our last breath."
I'll give them a big surprise.
As for now, let them see our backbone. I will make them pay a bloody price for every step they take.
As the Witch-Demon launched their relentless attacks, the entire island's barrier trembled violently. The immense impact created waves of energy on the barrier, yet it failed to break through the defensive Formations.
Just after Chi Songzi informed East King Duke that the Myriad Immortals Formation had connected with the Earth Veins, the shockwaves from the earth-shattering attack outside began to divert, with a large portion of the energy being channeled underground.
"Something's not right." Kunpeng squinted as he watched the attack energy being channeled underground by the Formations; it was different from when it started. "Eastern Emperor, the aftershocks of our attack seem to have been diverted by the Formations."
On the Witch Clan's side, Dijiang, with his keen senses, also noticed this.
He suddenly remembered the information he had gathered from the scattered cultivators who had fled Penglai. Nothing unusual had happened when the attack first began, so he had forgotten about it.
Dijiang thought to himself, "It's the Penglai Earth Veins! The East King Duke connected the Myriad Immortals Formation with the Penglai Earth Veins; every attack we launch is damaging the Penglai Immortal Island's Earth Veins!"
He quickly stopped his men from attacking, while the others looked puzzled upon hearing his order, unsure why.
Gonggong and the other two approached Dijiang and asked, "Eldest Brother, why did you suddenly order us to stop attacking?"
Dijiang said, "I noticed the change in the Formations. It's diverting our attack power underground. East King Duke must have connected the Formations with the Earth Veins as well; he's guiding our attack into the Earth Veins."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than crimson lightning suddenly descended from the sky. Several Demon Clan generals who had charged ahead and attacked the most fiercely were instantly pulverized into charred remains— the Heavenly Karma had begun.
Upon witnessing this scene, Gonggong immediately believed Dijiang's deduction.
"Stop!" Taiyi shouted sharply, ordering the crowd below to cease their attack.
Ordinary cultivators of the Witch and Demon Clans who participate in attacking and damaging the Penglai Earth Veins will be Karmic Retribution by Heavenly Dao. Without the protection of their Fortune, they will immediately suffer Heavenly Dao backlash.
Only the highest-ranking members of both races, who enjoy the blessing of their race's Fortune, are immune to some Karmic Retribution.
So, Taiyi Dijiang led their respective clans' high-ranking warriors into action. However, the two sides acted independently, and their attack rhythms differed, ultimately failing to break through the Myriad Immortals Formation's defenses.
The two races had no choice but to halt their attacks. Dijiang ordered Rushou and Gonggong to lead the army to continue besieging Penglai Island, while Taiyi of the Demon Clan handed over his Demon Clan forces to the Demon Master. The two sides met together to discuss a solution.
