All Arriving in Droves

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

"Until the very end, who will know who the mantis is and who the oriole is?"

In the instant that the Old Ancestor Kunpeng hesitated.

The East King Duke arrived in the Grand Void once again.

He mocked the Old Ancestor Kunpeng without any politeness:

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng."

"You think yourself exceptionally clever."

"But all the scheming and plotting will ultimately only benefit others."

"We are both pitiful people."

The East King Duke sighed softly.

He looked at Di Jun and Tai Yi not far away, and clapped his hands in praise:

"You two are very calculating and cunning."

Di Jun smiled calmly amidst the dawn light, ignoring the East King Duke's sarcastic remarks, and instead addressed Kunpeng:

"Demon Master."

"For the sake of the Demon Clan race's greater cause, please offer up the Primordial Violet Qi."

"Once I attain sainthood, my Demon Clan will surely reign supreme over Myriad Heavens and Universes, unifying the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands."

"At that time, the Heavenly Court will gather the fortune of the entire universe, and you, as Demon Master of the Demon Clan race, will also be able to share in the glory."

"Those who achieve sainthood first will inspire those who achieve sainthood later."

"I will certainly not forget your contribution today."

The Old Ancestor Kunpeng's face turned bright red. He had a hundred curses in his mind, but he couldn't bring himself to utter them.

"Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor"

"This Primordial Violet Qi has a rather causal entanglement with the old Daoist."

"But we cannot simply give up."

"In the future, when this old minister attains the position of Primordial Saint."

"We will certainly not fail the Heavenly Court of today, nor will we fail the kindness of Your Majesties."

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi smiled coldly upon hearing this.

The [Eastern Emperor Bell] hanging above his head trembled slightly, and a strange fluctuation instantly suppressed space and time.

"Never bow to the emperor."

"My true destiny has been lost."

"Kunpeng, you disobey the Heavenly Emperor's command."

"Are they planning a rebellion?"

Overwhelmed by the pressure of righteousness and legitimacy, the Old Ancestor Kunpeng secretly groaned in distress.

If it weren't for the fact that they were truly no match for those two golden crows.

Kunpeng had already rolled up his sleeves and gotten to work.

Upon seeing this, the Eastern East King Duke's eyes flashed with divine light.

He scoffed.

"Utterly shameless."

"I have truly broadened my horizons today."

"It's unbelievable that someone can make stealing someone else's opportunity sound so noble."

East King Duke lightly flicked the Pure Yang Limitless Sword in his hand.

One after another, Pure Yang Sword slashed straight towards Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng."

"If you are willing to abandon darkness and embrace the light, abandon the Demon Clan and come to my Purple Mansion Continent..."

"Today, I will help you, fellow Daoist, obtain the Primordial Violet Qi."

"In the future, even if the Heavenly Court's army oppresses Northern Darkness, I will lead the Dao Court of the Purple Mansion Continent to do everything in my power to ensure your safety."

If the Primordial Violet Qi falls into the hands of the Old Ancestor Kunpeng...

I still have a chance to snatch it from this old monster.

If those two golden crows in the Sun Palace really manage to snatch it away...

'I fear that a peerless emperor will truly emerge from the Heavenly Court!'

In a flash, his thoughts raced.

The East King Duke made his decision instantly.

That was to help the Old Ancestor Kunpeng deal with Di Jun and Tai Yi.

Upon hearing this, the Old Ancestor Kunpeng was overjoyed.

But he didn't respond at all.

Instead, taking advantage of the battle between East King Duke Di Jun and Tai Yi, he instantly seized Daoist Hongyun's primordial spirit and then spat out a scroll from his mouth.

On that scroll, 129,600 Demon Script emitted a dark green Yao Qi and soared into the sky.

In an instant, it broke through the Eastern Emperor Bell's blockade of time and space.

Just as the Old Ancestor Kunpeng was about to take advantage of this opening to tear through the void and escape.

Di Jun, bearing the River Diagram and Luo Script, was already approaching the East King Duke.

The golden True Sun Fire burned across a section of the heavens.

Meanwhile, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi had already transformed into a rainbow and arrived.

Go straight for the Old Ancestor Kunpeng.

"Kunpeng, do not flee!"

"If we do not leave behind the Primordial Violet Qi today..."

"I, the Emperor, will not let this go."

The Old Ancestor Kunpeng was also a divine being born in this era, a giant who achieved the status of Primordial Origin Golden Immortal.

Although he was wary of Di Jun and Tai Yi.

However, it's not entirely true to say that it was truly terrifying.

Leaving aside the repeated humiliations inflicted on him by the brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi, now they even dare to try and steal his chance to become a saint...

"The enmity of obstructing the way."

"Eternal enemies."

"Tai Yi."

"Today, I'll see just how you intend to refuse to let me off the hook!"

With a sharp, menacing scream.

Amidst the surging murderous aura, the Old Ancestor Kunpeng actually charged directly at Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.

Upon seeing Eastern Emperor Tai Yi suppressed some of his disdain.

"Good timing!"

The Eastern Emperor Bell, shattering the boundless universe.

Rumble!

Four powerful figures who had attained the status of Primordial Origin Golden Immortals battled in the Grand Void.

It stirred up waves even in the River of Time.

This also startled countless powerful beings who were lost in their Outer Heavens to a sudden awakening.

They awoke from the cave.

His face was filled with panic.

A quick calculation revealed that the secrets of Heavenly Secrets were obscured, and cause and effect were intertwined.

Then.

All eyes descended from the heavens.

Explore the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands.

Longevity Mountain.

Wuzhuang Temple.

Zhen Yuanzi had just achieved the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm, felt a pang of pain in his heart and suddenly opened his eyes.

A chilling murderous intent flashed across his once gentle face.

"Hong Yun..."

Was Hong Yun robbed?

Zhen Yuanzi had no time to consolidate his newly broken through realm.

In the blink of an eye, they appeared in the Grand Void.

Just as he was about to follow his unseen intuition and fly eastward...

Amidst the sounds of Buddhist chants and Zen hymns filling the air.

A Daoist priest with his hair tied in two buns and holding an Eight Treasures Tree blocked his way.

"Congratulations to Zhenyuan on attaining the Dao of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal."

"I have recently made considerable progress in this area."

"We've been neighbors for many years."

"How about we have a discussion here?"

Zhen Yuanzi's sleeves fluttered as he said in a cold voice:

"Zhunti."

"Are you going to stop me?"

The Daoist Zhunti remained calm and bowed respectfully.

"It's not that I'm trying to stop you, fellow Daoist."

"I truly wish to discuss the Dao with my fellow Daoists."

"Please understand, fellow Daoist."

"Well!"

Zhen Yuanzi, enraged, laughed instead.

"After today."

"This wicked neighbor of Mount Sumeru, I, Longevity Mountain, am determined to make it my neighbor."

Daoist Zhunti smiled bitterly to himself.

Longevity Mountain serves as the gateway to the west.

Zhen Yuanzi was also the Earth Immortal Sect Master, holding a highly prestigious position.

It also holds a place within the Ancestral Court of Mystic Gate.

If there really is a way.

Daoist Zhunti was also unwilling to go through this ordeal and become the villain.

I've offended this person.

But back in the Purple Firmament Palace, the Daoist Hongyun voluntarily offered his seat.

That's how the two brothers were given the opportunity to inherit the Primordial Violet Qi.

Even if it's just fate.

The West should prosper.

But they still owe Daoist Hongyun an enormous debt of karma.

The karmic consequences of Daoist Jieyin and the Daoist Zhunti no longer know how to repay them.

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Waiting for the day when the West prospers."

"This humble Fellow Daoist Hongyun!"

The Bodhi prayer beads in the hands of the Daoist Zhunti spun rapidly, his heart far from being as calm as he appeared.

Zhen Yuanzi calmly looked at Daoist Zhunti:

"If that's the case, then let's have a showdown."

He stood in the Grand Void, his green robe billowing, his wide sleeves open.

A dazzling celestial light enveloped time and space.

At this moment, it seemed as if billions of living beings, countless stars, and the entire universe were all contained within this sleeve.

It is truly a Universe in a Sleeve, a time within a pot.

The Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi was Daoist Zhunti.

Meanwhile, the Old Ancestor Kunpeng was secretly lamenting his predicament.

He attained enlightenment after Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.

Tai Yi also possesses the [Eastern Emperor Bell], one of the Three Treasures of Creation at the Innate Supreme Treasure.

In fact, his strength is extraordinary.

Even in the Primordial World, they were beings at the very top level.

He had only just achieved the status of Primordial Origin Golden Immortal.

It was already difficult to hold out against Eastern Emperor Tai Yi for a short period of time.

As time went by, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi's offensive became increasingly fierce.

However, the Old Ancestor Kunpeng could only awkwardly cope with it.

Ah~

The Old Ancestor Kunpeng suddenly let out a miserable scream.

It was enormous, like a roc soaring through the clouds and carrying the Azure Sky, with the True Sun Fire burning fiercely.

The Eastern Emperor Bell fell from the Grand Void, crashing down on him like a vast universe.

The Old Ancestor Kunpeng let out a sharp, mournful cry.

The sound waves seemed capable of shattering mountains.

He gazed at the [Eastern Emperor Bell], which seemed to shake off the stars and resemble a divine mountain of the Great Dao.

A Great Terror and sense of crisis rose in my heart.

If this continues...

'They'll die.'

For the first time, the Old Ancestor Kunpeng realized just how powerful Tai Yi supreme Innate Supreme Treasure.

His overwhelming power even made him feel a sense of powerlessness.

Gazing upon Tai Yi, whose divine might was awe-inspiring and whose brilliance shone like the sun.

He gazed at the [Eastern Emperor Bell] hurtling towards him once again from the Grand Void.

A flicker of fear flashed in the eyes of the Old Ancestor Kunpeng.

"Tai Yi."

"Since you desire this Primordial Violet Qi..."

"The ancestor will give it to you!"

After saying that, he actually threw the primordial spirit of Daoist Hongyun, which he was holding, directly into the Grand Void.

Without looking back, he tore through the void and flew towards the Northern Darkness Sea.

No matter how important the Primordial Violet Qi is.

Nothing is more important than my own life.

The Old Ancestor Kunpeng felt a pang of heartache.

But I can only helplessly console myself:

"Where there's life, there's hope."

"A moment of patience brings calm, a step back opens up a vast expanse."

'I hate my ancestors!'

Seeing that the Old Ancestor Kunpeng had soared 30,000 miles into the sky, he fled.

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi ignored him.

His eyes burned as he gazed intently at the divine soul of the Daoist Hongyun and the Primordial Violet Qi contained within that divine soul's true spirit.

"Primordial Violet Qi"

"This is the Primordial Violet Qi belonging to my Demon Clan."

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi reached straight for the Primordial Violet Qi.

At this moment, East King Duke also found an opening and used his Innate Spiritual Treasure [Pure Yang Limitless Sword] to sweep away the surrounding True Sun Fire, and went straight towards the Primordial Violet Qi.

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi the Rainbow Transformation Technique at an incredibly fast speed.

In an instant, they had to seize this Primordial Violet Qi.

"Bell!"

"Bell!"

"Bell!"

Sudden.

A clear, crisp sound emanated from the divine soul of Daoist Hongyun.

Then a faint light appeared.

The bell, its surface adorned with countless bizarre patterns, absorbed the Ancestor Hong Yun's soul along with the Primordial Violet Qi, and in an instant, it leaped into the Grand Void.

It's about to disappear.

"How dare you?!"

They saw someone daring to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi blazed with fury.

Its cry seemed capable of shattering the Sun, Moon, and Stars.

He transformed into the great sun, the golden crow.

Occupying endless dimensions.

The [Eastern Emperor Bell] held in his arms rang rapidly.

In an instant, time and space were frozen, and in that single moment, nothingness and reality were confined.

The bell, which was about to leap out of the Grand Void, could only be frozen in the present moment.

The next second.

The [Eastern Emperor Bell] broke free from the Golden Crow's embrace, swept across endless dimensions, shattered a piece of spacetime, and directly bombarded the pitch-black bell.

Just as the [Mother-Child Soul-Swaying Bell] was about to be suppressed and even destroyed by the [Eastern Emperor Bell].

A long sigh echoed from the Grand Void once more.

A faint voice sounded:

Fellow Daoists

"Forgive others when you can."

"This Primordial Violet Qi is a creation ordained by Heaven."

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun has the destiny to become a saint; this is the will of Heaven."

Why should everyone force things?

The instant that sound rang out.

In the Grand Void, the figure of an emperor wearing Flat Sky Crown seemed to appear.

Then one could see a large, pale hand holding an incredibly tiny millstone.

It crashed directly into the [Eastern Emperor Bell].

The large hand, seemingly slow but actually swift, slashed horizontally towards the [Eastern Emperor Bell].

The scene was utterly terrifying.

The heavens trembled, and time and space became disordered.

Rumble!

A tremendous sound resounded throughout the boundless dimensions.

Then, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi exclaimed in disbelief:

"How is that possible?"

"How could this be?!"

Upon hearing the sound, both Di Jun and East King Duke looked over, and their pupils both contracted.

His face showed both surprise and anger.

All that could be seen were the Three Treasures of Creation, the Innate Supreme Treasure [Eastern Emperor Bell].

One might as well.

It was actually struck horizontally by the miniature millstone on that pale, large hand, and as it flew, it stirred up a rolling Wind and Thunder.

"That is..."

"Is this millstone also a supreme Innate Supreme Treasure?"

Gazing at that grinding away at the void, it seemed like a millstone annihilating countless universes every moment.

A look of shock flashed across Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.

But the next moment, that shock was replaced by boundless humiliation and overwhelming rage.

"Bah!"

"You scoundrel, how dare you deceive me like this!"

The Great Sun Golden Crow, transformed from Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, let out an angry cry, then transformed into a long rainbow and directly grabbed at the giant hand that reached out from the Grand Void.

Like the sun, like the stars.

This golden crow is entirely gilded, and amidst the flowing, brilliant flames, it exudes boundless power.

This attack was no less devastating than a celestial collision, World Birth and Death.

But the giant hand in the Grand Void only paused for a moment.

Then he put away the [Mother-Child Soul-Swaying Bell], and with a slight toss, threw the miniature millstone to block Eastern Emperor Tai Yi who was rushing towards him.

Then, it swiftly carried the millstone, tearing through the void and disappearing.

It didn't leave a single trace on the spot.

Ah~

Who is it?!

"Who is it?!"

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, pale-faced, roared to the sky, his voice shattering the mountains and rivers for millions of miles.

He hated it.

Just one step away.

He was just one step away from snatching the Primordial Violet Qi for his elder brother.

But this uninvited guest interfered.

A promising situation was ruined in an instant.

With Eastern Emperor Tai Yi held the [Eastern Emperor Bell] in his hands.

Then, with an icy expression, he stared at the Eastern East King Duke in front of him.

Without saying a word, he smashed it at him.

He's very angry right now.

In front of Longevity Mountain.

Daoist Zhunti stared at the suddenly appearing giant hand.

His face stiffened.

After a long silence, he could only sigh softly:

"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi"

"This is just a misunderstanding."

Zhen Yuanzi was overjoyed.

He had already recognized the [Mother-Child Soul-Swaying Bell].

But when facing Daoist Zhunti, his face still showed overwhelming hatred:

"Misunderstand?"

"I was just one step away from saving my old friend."

"But it's because of you, Daoist priest."

"My old friend's fate is now uncertain."

"How dare you speak of misunderstandings in front of me?"

Having said that, Zhen Yuanzi unleashed his supernatural powers and attacked again.

Upon Daoist Zhunti breathed a sigh of relief.

Could it be...?

Was it really not true that the Ancestor Hong Yun was rescued by someone Zhen Yuanzi knew?

In that case...

His chances of survival this time are slim.

After all, no living being can resist the allure of the Primordial Violet Qi.
