Immortal Court Destroyed, Fortune Divided

In the temporary encampment, Dijiang and Taiyi led their men to stand on either side. Dijiang spoke first, "The Immortal Court has combined the Myriad Immortals Formation with the Spirit Vein and Earth Veins of Penglai. If ordinary soldiers of our two races participate in the attack, they will not be able to withstand the Karmic Retribution caused by the destruction of the Earth Veins."

If our two races' high-level combat forces attack individually, they simply cannot Formations's defenses. Unless we mobilize our reserve forces and add more manpower, we will still need to cooperate.

What do you think, Taiyi?

"It's just an Immortal Court. If it weren't for the power of the Myriad Immortals Formation and the Penglai Spirit Vein, East King Duke wouldn't have been able to stop either of our attacks."

We've already mobilized so many troops. If we were to send even more, wouldn't that make us a laughingstock among the Primordial World Living Beings?

I think it would be great if we could work together one more time!

"For our next attack, we will concentrate all our forces on one point, which I believe will be enough to break through the Formations's barrier."

"Alright, in that case, let's discuss the attack plan and follow-up arrangements."

Inside Penglai Immortal Island, East King Duke also noticed that the Witch and Demon Clans had stopped their attacks, realizing that the other side already knew his plans. However, he didn't care. This was just an open scheme. Anyway, he had nothing left to lose. He just wanted to see what price the other side was willing to pay!

After some time, Taiyi Dijiang each arranged their own personnel, coordinated the attack order and rhythm of both sides, and came to the front of the Immortal Court's Great Formation again.

As planned, both sides deployed their forces, preparing to launch an attack.

Upon receiving the message from his subordinates, East King Duke, who was inside the formation, also rushed to the front of the formation to investigate.

Seeing the Witch-Demon outside the formation merge into one, he knew the seriousness of the situation; it seemed that today was the day of the decisive battle.

He returned to the main hall and summoned Chi Songzi. He was going to use his last trump card to give the Witch and Demon Clans a big surprise, and this trump card had to be entrusted to his most trusted subordinate.

Chi Songzi entered the hall, East King Duke dismissed the others and pulled Chi Songzi in front of him.

At this moment, his face turned fierce, completely devoid of the ethereal and noble air he once possessed when he was riding high. He whispered to Chi Songzi, "Dijiang and Taiyi have joined forces and begun preparing for action. I think the formation will be broken today."

You've been with me the longest, and I know you best. Now we have no way out, but even if we die, we can't let the Witch and Demon Clans get away with it.

I had long anticipated this outcome, so I made preparations early on. I intended to use the Myriad Immortals Formation to bind the Penglai Earth Veins and Spirit Vein, so that when their subordinates attacked the Formations, they would suffer Heavenly Dao backlash and lose a large number of men. I didn't expect them to react so quickly, stopping their attack after only a few people died.

I have one more plan left, and I need your cooperation. If it succeeds, it will surely cause heavy losses to both of their clans.

You remember..."

After arranging for Chi Songzi, East King Duke gathered all the other personnel except for the Myriad Immortals Formation. Looking at the cultivators under his command, his heart was filled with renewed passion.

He felt as if he had dreamt of the day when he first established the Immortal Court, when he was so full of vigor and high spirits. He took out the Dragon Head Cane bestowed upon him by the Dao Ancestor and said to everyone with a smile, "Fellow Daoists, today I will say no more, only fight to the death!"

The cultivators of the Immortal Court, who had originally looked sorrowful, were now infected by the emotions of the East King Duke and felt a surge of heroic spirit. Not one of them had any thought of retreating.

A female immortal at the Grand Unity Realm echoed, "I am willing to fight to the death with you, Immortal Lord!"

Seeing this, the others also started shouting.

"I am willing to fight to the death with the Immortal Lord!"

Outside the formation, once the formation was in place, Taiyi Dijiang exchanged a glance and issued orders to prepare for the attack.

As Taiyi Dijiang shouted "Attack!" from their respective formations, everyone simultaneously launched a full-scale attack in perfect unison.

On the Demon Clan side Taiyi and Kunpeng guided the direction of the attack, and the four Ancestral Witch on the Witch Clan side did the same, directing the attack forces of both sides to a pre-selected Formations node.

With a "crack!" sound, as if space itself was shattering, the Myriad Immortals Formation was struck and, before it could disperse the immense power of the attack, a crack appeared.

Seeing this, Taiyi Dijiang didn't give the other side any time to react. They immediately joined forces to deliver another blow, striking the gap that had been broken earlier. In this instant, the entire Formations was completely destroyed.

The backlash from the Formations caused serious injuries to the scattered cultivators of the Immortal Court in the main formation, and the Earth Veins also suffered enormous damage in the two attacks, with several pieces of the entire Celestial Island cracking apart.

After the formation was broken, crimson lightning once again gathered in the sky. However, at this time, the Fortune of the two races manifested, preventing the lightning in the blood clouds from falling. After a long time, it could only retreat helplessly.

Seeing that the Formations had been broken, Taiyi Dijiang realized that their cooperation had come to an end, and immediately mobilized their forces to begin besieging the Immortal Court cultivators on Penglai Island.

"Demon Clan warriors, follow me into the island and destroy the Immortal Court!"

"Witch Clan disciples, follow me and kill them all!"

The wandering immortals of the Immortal Court were already poised to make their move.

"Fight to the death with the Immortal Lord!"

The East King Duke faction had far fewer experts than the Witch and Demon Clans, and now, facing the combined attack of the two clans, even when their blood boiled and they fought back desperately at the cost of their lives, they were still no match for their opponents and were forced to retreat in defeat.

Watching his men being slaughtered one after another, the East King Duke had no time to think.

Taiyi's Chaos Bell descended upon him, while Rushou's golden spear pierced straight at his heart.

East King Duke laughed wildly, wielding the Pure Yang Sword in one hand and the Dragon Head Cane in the other, barely managing to hold off the two by trading injury for life.

At this moment, the Dragon Clan revealed their true forms as Longbo, formed a battle formation to fight the enemy, stabilized their own position, and used their flesh and blood to block the attacks of the opposing experts for everyone.

"All the immortals retreat to the core area of the immortal island. Longbo and the others will cover the rear with me!" East King Duke suddenly transmitted his voice.

The remaining Immortal Court cultivators fought and retreated, with people falling along the way. When they reached the central square in front of the palace on Penglai Island, there were less than a million people left, and the area was completely surrounded by the Witch-Demon Alliance.

"East King Duke, you have reached the end of your road," Taiyi said, stepping forward amidst Golden Crow flames. "Hand over the Immortal Court's Fortune, and perhaps your True Spirit can be preserved for reincarnation."

Dijiang then stepped forward and said, "East King Duke, you and these Immortal Court cultivators do have backbone. You hand over your Fortune, and I will allow all of you in the Immortal Court to retain your True Spirit!"

The East King Duke staggered, leaning on his broken sword and panting. His purple-gold crown was nowhere to be seen, his Pure Yang Sword was almost broken, and his Dragon Head Cane was covered with scratches.

He looked at the lich and Witch and Demon Clans surrounding his side, and suddenly burst into wild laughter:

Hongjun, I only regret that I listened to your nonsense and became a pawn in your hands.

"What kind of bullshit 'Head of Male Immortals'? He had only a hollow title to lure me into his trap. I only blame myself for being too stupid to see through his scheme sooner!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Dijiang, Taiyi, Taiyi, his face resolute. "I was born of the Xiantian Lesser Yang Qi, the Congenital Deities East King Duke. I do not need your pity or charity."

Taiyi, Dijiang, I have been defeated today and only death remains. Whether my True Spirit remains or not is meaningless to me.

"Don't think you've won! Today, I'll give you one last big gift!"

"Chi Songzi!" East King Duke suddenly roared, "Now! Make your move!"

The scene was deathly silent.

The anticipated Earth Veins explosion did not occur; instead, the light of the Myriad Immortals Formation Diagram was completely extinguished.

Taiyi smirked, and Dijiang shook his head. A moment later, Chi Songzi emerged from Demon Empress, holding the now-dull Myriad Immortals Formation Diagram.

"You..." East King Duke's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Immortal Lord, please forgive me." Chi Songzi bowed deeply. "The Queen Mother of the West of the West is right; continuing to follow you will only lead to the needless deaths of more fellow cultivators."

It turns out that the reason the Witch-Demon surrounded West Kunlun was to get the Queen Mother of the West to cooperate in dealing with the Immortal Court.

When the Queen Mother of the West went to Kunlun Mountain to seek help, the Three Pure Ones pointed her in a direction: to help the Witch and Demon Clans reduce their losses. The most crucial point was that they were worried that the East King Duke would resort to a desperate, all-or-nothing strategy.

The East King Duke swayed and suddenly spat out a mouthful of golden blood.

His right hand trembled as he pointed at Chi Songzi: "Chi Songzi, we 'Kalpa, and I've always treated you exceptionally well..."

"But you shouldn't try to detonate the Earth Veins Penglai," Chi Songzi sighed. "This would kill billions of lives in the East Sea. What have they done to deserve this?"

My Immortal Court was established to stabilize the Order of the Primordial World; how could I act recklessly for my own selfish reasons? Moreover, I also wish to save the lives of some of my fellow cultivators on the island.

East King Duke gave a bitter laugh, as if he had come to terms with reality. "Fine... fine... fine, I never expected you to be such a compassionate person."

"The Immortal Court... the Primordial World Order... Queen Mother of the West, you really are more pragmatic than I am!"

He turned back for one last look at the Immortal Court cultivators who had fought alongside him, and finally let go of his obsession.

"Enough, enough, enough! Their lives depend on you and the Queen Mother of the West!"

After speaking, East King Duke dispersed his Fortune, his life force dissipated, and his body cracked like porcelain, eventually peeling away layer by layer and turning into ashes.

The Pure Yang Sword clattered to the ground, and the Fortune of the Immortal Court transformed into a golden dragon that soared into the sky.

Taiyi and Dijiang attacked simultaneously, grabbing at the Fortune Golden Dragon in the sky. The Fortune split in two in mid-air, disappearing into the camps of the Witch and Demon Clans respectively.
