"Big brother, the formation protecting Penglai Island is quite something!" Tai Yi raised the Chaos Bell and smashed it dozens of times in succession, yet it remained completely unmoved.
"What do you think, Bai Ze?"
At that moment, Tai Yi thought of Bai Ze, the brains of the Demon Clan. As an auspicious beast, he possessed the talents to avert disasters, ward off misfortune, and turn danger into safety.
"The Demon Emperor is a grandmaster of formations!"
"He can tell at a glance!"
Hearing this, Di Jun suddenly understood. He had been using the Myriad Stars Array to attack by force all this time, overlooking some crucial details.
"As expected of you, Bai Ze!"
Di Jun brought out the River Diagram and Luoshu, deriving countless possibilities. A moment later, he found the weak points in the formation protecting the island.
"East King Duke, oh, East King Duke~"
"Heaven itself wants you dead!"
The formation protecting the Immortal Court was formed from the fortune of the Immortal Court and the overseas immortal islands. There were three overseas immortal islands: Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang. Now that one immortal island was missing, the foundation of the formation had become unstable...
But where was Fangzhang Island? Where had it gone? What a difficult question to guess~
"Tai Yi, let's go to the rear. The defenses are weak over there!"
"Together, you and I will break through this tortoise shell!"
"Together, you and I will smash East King Duke's tortoise shell to pieces!"
"Now that things have come to this, is West Queen Mother still unwilling to send reinforcements?"
East King Duke said in a deep voice. He had already sent someone to seek West Queen Mother's aid through a secret technique.
"Lord East King Duke, Lady West Queen Mother said that she does not wish to get involved in the affairs of the primordial world and only wishes to cultivate in seclusion..."
Hearing this, East King Duke's brows drew tightly together. Then he let out a long sigh.
"Why have those two mongrel birds outside stopped breaking the formation?"
"Could it be that they have thought of a way to break the formation?"
The sudden silence outside made East King Duke feel extremely puzzled.
"Lord East King Duke, do not worry. This formation protecting the island was transformed from the fortune of our Immortal Court. No matter what methods Di Jun and Tai Yi exhaust, they will never be able to break it," an immortal with completely white hair and beard said leisurely.
"That is true. I am the Head of Male Immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor. Who dares touch me? Once I escape, I will definitely go to Zixiao Palace and lodge a complaint against those two!"
East King Duke gripped his dragon-headed staff tightly. As long as the two of them could not break the formation protecting the island, there would still be a chance for everything to turn around.
What a joke. The fortune of our Immortal Court is flourishing like the sun at midday, and the formation protecting the island is indestructible. How could it possibly be broken by those two mongrel birds...
Suddenly, after a thunderous explosion, everyone present spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood. They were connected to the fortune of the Immortal Court, and now that the formation protecting the island, which had been transformed from that fortune, was broken, they had suffered the backlash of fortune.
"East King Duke!"
"Always call on people first when you enter!"
"We're coming in. Guests have arrived, so aren't you coming out to receive them?"
Above Penglai Island, two Great Sun Golden Crows flapped their wings and circled overhead. The Myriad Stars Array enveloped Penglai Island.
Inside the main hall, East King Duke clutched his chest. At this moment, he could no longer care about the fortune. Since the enemy had already fought their way in, he could only fight to the death.
"Everyone, follow me!"
East King Duke angrily called for the Immortal Court's experts to go outside the main hall. But when he turned around, only a few people were following him.
"Hahahahahaha!"
"So they are nothing but sycophants!"
Looking at the majority of the immortals cowering inside the main hall, East King Duke burst into laughter. Though his heart was filled with sorrow, his gaze grew ever more resolute.
Above Penglai Island
When the two Great Sun Golden Crows saw someone emerge from the immortal palace, the massive Golden Crows ignited True Sun Fire. Di Jun and Tai Yi walked out from within the True Sun Fire, a breeze brushing their faces as their golden Daoist robes billowed in the wind.
"Tai Yi, Di Jun!"
"I am the Head of Male Immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor!"
"How dare you defy me!"
"You two mongrel birds, I will definitely go to Zixiao Palace and report you!" East King Duke declared.
But as soon as East King Duke finished speaking, a vast crowd of immortals flew out of the main hall behind him and prostrated themselves on the ground.
"Demon Emperor, Eastern Emperor! We surrender!"
"We are willing to join the Demon Court!"
These immortals had joined the Immortal Court merely to find a faction that would shelter them and cultivate with the help of the Immortal Court's fortune. They had never intended to risk their lives for East King Duke.
Tai Yi looked down at East King Duke from above and laughed loudly. "Look! It is not only us who have defied you. Even your subordinates have defied you!"
"That's right, that's right, Lord Eastern Emperor! We have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light!" The surrendering immortals wore ingratiating expressions and nodded repeatedly.
Seeing this, East King Duke was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
"Very good. Those who understand the times are wise!"
"However, our Demon Clan respects the strong. Clearly, you lot are not among them!"
Tai Yi snorted coldly and brought out the Chaos Bell. With his Quasi-Saint cultivation combined with the supreme innate treasure Chaos Bell, he looked down upon Penglai.
As the Chaos Bell expanded without limit, it eventually enveloped the entirety of Penglai Island. Then waves of bell tolls rang out. The space and time across the island were sealed, cutting off the Immortal Court's final hope.
"Rise, Myriad Stars Array!"
At Di Jun's command, the simplified version of the Myriad Stars Array took its place. Countless rays of starlight descended from the sky above Penglai Island, and one Primordial Star after another fell.
After a bout of frenzied bombardment, all life on Penglai Island was extinguished. Only East King Duke remained, unable to hold out alone.
East King Duke's clothes were in tatters, and he no longer possessed his former high spirits. He looked at Di Jun and Tai Yi, his eyes filled with hatred.
"You have treated me like this today. One day, you will suffer retribution!"
Di Jun looked at East King Duke and sneered. "Hmph. You can barely protect yourself, yet you are talking about the future?"
With that, Di Jun slowly raised his right hand. The Myriad Stars Array manifested a star and hurled it toward East King Duke.
"I am the Head of Male Immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor. The Dao Ancestor certainly will not abandon me!" East King Duke looked at the incoming star and sensed the aura of death.
He intended to tear open space and flee, but the space and time around Penglai Island had already been suppressed by the Chaos Bell. Where could he run?
After one star struck, East King Duke was already gravely wounded. Yet he still placed his hopes in Old Ancestor Hongjun, believing that the Sage would surely come to save him.
"East King Duke, the Sage can know everything in the primordial world with a single thought!"
"If the Dao Ancestor wanted to save you, he would have come long ago!" Tai Yi said. Beside him, Di Jun extended a hand and pointed at East King Duke.
"Go and see him off."
"Yes, Demon Emperor!"
The Ten Great Demon Sages charged toward East King Duke together. At this moment, East King Duke, who could call to Heaven and receive no answer, already had a hint of madness in his eyes.
The Ten Great Demon Sages surrounded East King Duke alone. Even while consumed by madness, East King Duke was not afraid in the slightest. He gripped his dragon-headed staff and charged forward.
For a time, the Ten Great Demon Sages were actually unable to defeat the heavily wounded East King Duke!
As time passed, the Ten Great Demon Sages grew more valiant with every battle, while East King Duke gradually fell behind.
East King Duke knew that he could not escape death today. He suddenly stopped resisting and threw his head back in laughter.
"Since it has come to this, then we shall die together! Let the Immortal Court and Demon Court perish together! Hahahahaha!"
A powerful surge of spiritual power erupted from East King Duke's body. Then he controlled his dragon-headed staff, intending to detonate himself together with the spiritual treasure.
"Leave quickly!"
"I will suppress him!"
Tai Yi hastily recalled the Chaos Bell and then shot toward East King Duke. The Chaos Bell instantly expanded, enveloping East King Duke at this critical moment.
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion rang out from within the Chaos Bell, and the entire Eastern Sea was shaken into a thousand layers of enormous waves.
Tai Yi's face was pale as he recalled the Chaos Bell. East King Duke inside had already lost his aura of life, and the dragon-headed staff in his hand had lost all its spiritual energy...
Di Jun took a deep breath as he looked at this scene.
"From now on, the primordial world will have only the Demon Court, not the Immortal Court!"
"Our Demon Clan will be the sole hegemon of the primordial world!"
At once, the densely packed Demon Army in the sky shouted in unison.
"Demon Emperor! Eastern Emperor!"
Their voices were deafening and resounded throughout Heaven and Earth...
Beneath the Eastern Sea, the Dragon Clan heard the cries. One by one, they wore sorrowful expressions. Now that Eastern Emperor Tai Yi and Demon Emperor Di Jun had annihilated the Immortal Court and killed East King Duke, the next ones they dealt with would probably be the Dragon Clan!
