"Brother, this Penglai Island's protective formation is quite something!" Tai Yi swung the Chaos Bell dozens of times, but it remained completely unmoved.
"Bai Ze, what do you think?"
At this moment, Tai Yi thought of Bai Ze, the Demon Clan's strategist. As a divine beast, he possessed the innate ability to ward off disaster, avoid misfortune, and turn bad luck into good.
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor is a master of formations!"
"I can tell at a glance!"
Hearing this, Di Jun suddenly understood. He had been relying on the Myriad Stars Array to force his way through, neglecting certain details.
"As expected of you, Bai Ze!"
Di Jun unleashed the River Diagram and Luoshu, evolving them into myriad forms. Moments later, he found the weak point in the protective formation.
"East King Duke, East King Duke~"
"Heaven itself wants you dead!"
The Immortal Court's protective formation was formed by the Immortal Court's destiny and the overseas immortal islands. There were three such islands: Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang. With one island missing, the formation's foundation was unstable...
But where was Fangzhang Island? Where did it go? So hard to guess~
"Tai Yi, let's go around the back, the defense is weaker there!"
"With our combined strength, brother, we'll break through this tortoise shell!"
"With our combined strength, brother, we'll smash East King Duke's tortoise shell!"
"Even now, West Queen Mother still refuses to send reinforcements?"
East King Duke said gravely. He had already sent someone to seek aid from West Queen Mother using a secret method.
"Lord East King Duke, Madam West Queen Mother said she does not wish to involve herself in the affairs of the Primordial World and only desires to cultivate in seclusion..."
Hearing this, East King Duke's brows furrowed, and he let out a long sigh.
"Why have those two feathered birds outside stopped attacking the formation?"
"Could it be they've figured out how to break it?"
Suddenly, the sounds of breaking the formation ceased from outside, which East King Duke found very strange.
"Lord East King Duke, do not worry. This protective formation is formed from the Immortal Court's destiny. No matter what Di Jun and Tai Yi do, they cannot break it," a white-haired immortal said slowly.
"That's true. I am the Head of Male Immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor. Who dares to touch me? Once I escape, I will definitely go to Zixiao Palace to report these two!"
East King Duke tightly gripped his dragon-headed staff. As long as they couldn't break the protective formation, everything could still turn around.
It was a joke! My Immortal Court's destiny is like the rising sun, and the protective formation is indestructible. How could it be broken by those two feathered birds...
Suddenly, after a deafening roar, everyone present spat out a mouthful of vital blood. They were connected to the Immortal Court's destiny, and now that the formation formed by their destiny had been broken, they suffered a backlash.
"East King Duke!"
"Introduce yourself first when you enter!"
"We're here, aren't guests supposed to be welcomed?"
Above Penglai Island, two Great Sun Golden Crows flapped their wings, circling the island. The Myriad Stars Array enveloped Penglai Island.
Inside the great hall, East King Duke clutched his chest. At this moment, he could no longer care about destiny. The enemy had already broken in, and he could only fight to the death.
"Everyone, follow me!"
East King Duke angrily rallied the Immortal Court's strongmen and walked out of the great hall. But when he looked back, only a handful of people followed him.
"Hahahaha!"
"So they were all just sycophants!"
Looking at the majority of immortals cowering in the great hall, East King Duke burst into laughter. Though grief filled his heart, his gaze grew even more resolute.
Above Penglai
The two Great Sun Golden Crows saw figures emerging from the immortal hall. The giant Golden Crows ignited their True Sun Fire, and Di Jun and Tai Yi emerged from the flames. A gentle breeze ruffled their golden Daoist robes.
"Tai Yi! Di Jun!"
"I am the Head of Male Immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor!"
"How dare you defy me!"
"You two feathered birds, I will definitely go to Zixiao Palace to report you!" East King Duke threatened.
But as soon as East King Duke finished speaking, a swarm of immortals flew out from the great hall behind him, prostrating themselves on the ground.
"Demon Emperor! Eastern Emperor! We surrender!"
"We are willing to join the Demon Court!"
These immortals had only joined the Immortal Court initially to find a power to protect themselves and to cultivate by borrowing the Immortal Court's destiny. They had never intended to fight and die for East King Duke.
Tai Yi looked down from above at East King Duke and laughed loudly, "Look, it's not just us who defied you; your own subordinates have defied you too!"
"Yes, yes, Lord Eastern Emperor, we have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light!" The surrendering immortals nodded repeatedly with fawning expressions.
Seeing this, East King Duke was filled with rage, but also helpless.
"Very good, the wise man knows when to adapt!"
"However, our Demon Clan respects the strong, and you guys are clearly not!"
Tai Yi snorted coldly, summoned the Chaos Bell, and with his Quasi-Saint cultivation combined with the innate supreme treasure Chaos Bell, he looked down upon Penglai.
As the Chaos Bell grew infinitely larger, it finally enveloped the entire Penglai Island. Then, waves of bell sounds rang out, sealing off the space-time on the island and cutting off the Immortal Court's last shred of hope.
"Myriad Stars Array, rise!"
Following Di Jun's command, the simplified version of the Myriad Stars Array fell into place. Countless stars descended from the sky above Penglai Island, one by one, as if ancient stars were falling.
After a barrage of bombardment, Penglai Island's vitality was extinguished. Only East King Duke remained, unable to stand alone.
East King Duke, with his tattered clothes, no longer possessed his former high spirits. He looked at Di Jun and Tai Yi, his eyes full of hatred.
"You treat me like this today, and you will surely face retribution tomorrow!"
Di Jun sneered at East King Duke, "Hmph, you can barely save yourself, yet you speak of tomorrow?"
With that, Di Jun slightly raised his right hand, and the Myriad Stars Array evolved into a star that smashed towards East King Duke.
"I am the Head of Male Immortals, personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor. The Dao Ancestor will surely not abandon me?" East King Duke looked at the incoming star, feeling the aura of death.
He intended to tear through space and escape, but the space-time around Penglai Island had already been suppressed by the Chaos Bell. Where could he possibly run?
With the descent of the star, East King Duke was already severely injured. However, he still placed his hope on Old Ancestor Hongjun, believing that a Saint would surely come to save him.
"East King Duke, a Saint's thoughts can encompass the Primordial World!"
"If the Dao Ancestor wanted to save you, he would have come long ago!" Tai Yi said. Di Jun, standing beside him, reached out and pointed at East King Duke:
"Go and send him off!"
"Yes, Demon Emperor!"
The Ten Great Demon Sages charged towards East King Duke in unison. At this moment, East King Duke, who could not call out to anyone, had a hint of madness in his eyes.
The Ten Great Demon Sages ganged up on East King Duke, but the frenzied East King Duke did not fear them, even facing the Ten Great Demon Sages. He wielded his Dragon Head Crutch and charged forward.
For a time, the Ten Great Demon Sages could not defeat the heavily injured East King Duke!
As time passed, the Ten Great Demon Sages fought with increasing ferocity, while East King Duke gradually fell into a disadvantage.
East King Duke knew that he could not escape this calamity today. He suddenly stopped resisting and laughed up at the sky:
"Since that's the case, let's perish together! Let the Immortal Court and the Demon Court be destroyed together! Hahahahaha!"
A powerful spiritual energy surged from East King Duke's body. He then controlled the Dragon Head Crutch, intending to detonate it along with the Spiritual Treasures.
"You guys hurry and leave!"
"I'll suppress him!"
Tai Yi hurriedly retracted the Chaos Bell and then rushed towards East King Duke. The Chaos Bell instantly enlarged, and at this critical moment, it enveloped East King Duke.
"Boom~"
A deafening roar came from within the Chaos Bell, shaking the entire East Sea and causing huge waves to surge.
Tai Yi, with a pale face, recalled the Chaos Bell. East King Duke inside had no breath left, and the Dragon Head Crutch in his hand had lost its spiritual energy...
Di Jun looked at this scene and took a deep breath:
"From now on, there will only be the Demon Court in the Primordial World, no Immortal Court!"
"Our Demon Clan will be the sole overlord of the Primordial World!"
Instantly, a vast army of demons in the sky above roared in unison:
"Demon Emperor! Eastern Emperor!"
Their voices were deafening, resounding through heaven and earth...
The Dragon Clan beneath the East Sea heard this and their faces were filled with sorrow. Now that Eastern Emperor Tai Yi and Demon Emperor Di Jun had destroyed the Immortal Court and killed East King Duke, they were afraid they would be next to face their wrath!
