East King Duke: I Have Walked on Thin Ice All My Life. Do You Think I Can Reach the Other Shore?

Eastern Sea.

Purple Mansion Continent.

The East King Duke suddenly opened his eyes, his pale purple eyes revealing a look of surprise and uncertainty.

Immediately, a brilliant light welled up in his eyes.

Great Terror, great crisis.

He hadn't felt this way for a long time since he obtained the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal Fruit.

And today...

"The Demon Clan..."

The East King Duke looked solemnly at the Grand Void.

Since defeating Di Jun with the [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation] on the Eastern Sea Shore, Purple Mansion Continent has embarked on a period of rapid expansion.

Countless independent cultivators and immortals from minor Daoist lineages have had their names recorded in the [Golden Book] and [Jade Register].

A male immortal visited the Purple Palace and respectfully bowed to the Mu Gong.

The female immortal went to the Yaochi to pay homage to the Golden Mother.

In an instant, a torrent of immortal fortune surged toward the Purple Mansion Continent.

In just tens of thousands of years, the strength of the Purple Mansion Continent has more than doubled compared to before.

Even the four giants at the level of Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, including East King Duke, have made further progress in Dao Cultivation.

They intended to accumulate more strength before launching their Attack Heavens.

But to everyone's surprise, Demon Clan demon gods took the initiative and launched the first attack!

"What are you afraid of? Let's just charge in!"

The Great God Lei Ze was bathed in thunder, his divine voice booming like divine thunder exploding:

"Now that the Demon Clan has set up a grand formation in the starry sky, they are determined to achieve victory in one decisive battle."

"This is the final battle; we can only win, we cannot afford to lose!"

As the Great God Lei Ze spoke, a divine hammer, encircled by thunder and crackling with lightning, tumbled within the Auspicious Clouds, seemingly World Creation, capable of sweeping away all evil.

"Absolutely. Absolutely."

"The path to enlightenment is inherently about conforming to the mortal world and defying it to become an immortal being."

"Why should we cultivators fear a battle?"

The body of the Immortal Lord San Ji emanated countless strands of divine light, and auspicious Auspicious Qi condensed into a canopy, manifesting countless phenomena of fortune, prosperity, and longevity.

The immortal's tone was unusually murderous, and his brows were no longer as serene as before.

The Queen Mother of the West raised a brow, a resolute glint flashing in her eyes.

"Fellow East King Duke."

"We have nowhere left to retreat."

"We have no choice but to take a gamble."

To be able to establish a Daoist court and to withstand the pressure from numerous Innate Divine Being in the Primordial World while preserving their titles as the male and female immortal leaders, the East King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West were naturally people with firm Daoist hearts and strong wills.

Now that the Demon Clan race has returned with renewed force, they harbor some concerns.

But as the Queen Mother of the West said, the current situation is not one they can simply back down from.

Moreover...

East King Duke gently stroked the [Pure Yang Limitless Sword] hanging at his waist, the light in his eyes seemingly capable of illuminating the entire universe.

Moreover, the Struggle for the Great Dao has always been like this.

'What we are fighting for is not merely the title of Heavenly Emperor.'

'Moreover, it is that supreme and noble status.'

'It is the Great Dao that Tongtian!'

Let alone having the [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation] as a reliance at this moment, it is still uncertain whether the great formation that the Demon Clan race spent only tens of thousands of years to refine can withstand the power of the [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation].

Even though they have won more battles than victories, the East King Duke must still give it his all.

There is absolutely no reason to back down.

Having endured countless years of hardship and forbearance, how could I give up? How could I possibly give up?

His eyes seemed to hold memories, or perhaps a sense of disorientation.

After giving three lectures at the Purple Firmament Palace, he was Dao Ancestor Hongjun as the Head of Male Immortals.

He then realized that he had reached a crossroads in his destiny.

This is the will of Heaven, and cannot be changed by human effort.

Even if he attained the Dao Fruit of Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, what would that amount to under the vast power of the Heavenly Dao?

The East King Duke lowered his eyes slightly, concealing the gloom in them.

He knew that his family was merely Mystic Gate Immortal Path put forward by the Ancestral Court of Mystic Gate Immortal Path, a way to counterbalance the Demon Clan and Witch Clan and consolidate the foundation of the Ancestral Court of Mystic Gate.

'But so what?'

Even a frog at the bottom of a well dares to aspire to swallow the sky.

'How can the world know that I, the East King Duke, am not capable of sitting on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor?'

The East King Duke raised his eyes, his gaze filled with unwavering determination.

He suddenly drew the Pure Yang Immortal Sword, as if to unleash all the forbearance, resentment, ambition, and perseverance he had accumulated over the years:

"The heavens are vast and boundless, and my Way flourishes daily."

"Kill!"

With a roar from the East King Duke.

In the Purple Mansion Continent, the Dao Bell resounded throughout the four seas.

Nine-flower turbans, water-patterned robes, Tai'a Swords, sika deer—a man of noble character and extraordinary talent came from the east.

Crimson robes, yellow-spotted deer, Kunwu Sword, colorful flags fluttering, and a deity in wide robes and sleeves arrives from the west.

With double buns, a pale yellow robe, an ancient sword, and an eight-pronged deer, the Daoist priest, riding the clouds and mist, came from the south.

Clad in black robes, adorned with lotus-seed headbands, and wielding iron maces, riding a deer, he arrived from the north with the Greater Divine Ability to move mountains and overturn seas.

Many immortals gathered on the Eastern Sea Shore.

Clouds and mist rise and billow, celestial energy soars to the heavens.

A magnificent spectacle unfolds amidst a myriad of golden rays, and divine light conceals celestial treasures.

As countless immortals appeared, each took their positions according to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, and each began to chant incantations and perform hand gestures.

A genuine Myriad Immortals Formation was then revealed in the universe.

Rumble!

The moment this grand formation was revealed, it was as if the heavens were enraged, and its terrifying power made the eyelids of all the gods and celestial beings watching the battle twitch wildly.

Even the Grand Pure Daoist of Morality Heavenly Venerate, who sat solemnly on Kunlun Mountain, couldn't help but change color.

Because.

This [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation] is clearly much stronger than the last one.

This power even faintly surpasses the realm of Primordial Origin Golden Immortal.

Infinitely approaching that supreme level.

"Brother, we misjudged you."

"That Donghua fellow has clearly developed his own agenda."

The Yuanshi Tianzun was enraged, and the sky above Kunlun Mountain was filled with turbulent winds and clouds, leaving countless Daoist deities terrified and at a loss.

He was furious.

As early as when East King Duke was the master of the Daoist court and in charge of the immortal path for the Ancestral Court of Mystic Gate, the Three Pure Heavenly Venerates had already reached a tacit agreement with East King Duke.

The East King Duke safeguarded the gates of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path for Kunlun Mountain and consolidated the foundation of Kunlun Mountain's Dao lineage. In return, the Three Pure Heavenly Venerates were willing to support the Purple Mansion Continent's Attack Heaven from behind the scenes.

But clearly, this ruler of the Daoist court, the Head of Male Immortals, is no longer satisfied with his position.

He wanted to step out of the chessboard and become a true chess player.

What enraged Yuanshi Tianzun even more was...

The power displayed by the [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation] was so great that even the Three Pure Heavenly Venerates would feel apprehensive and uneasy if they personally intervened.

Is this formation a product of the will of Heavenly Dao and the workings of destiny?

Even the usually indifferent face of the Grand Pure Daoist couldn't help but show a hint of emotion.

It can be said that East King Duke completely disrupted the plans of the Three Pure Heavenly Venerates and the Kunlun Mountain lineage.

The celestial Heavenly Court's long-cherished wish is about to fail.

What terrified Grand Pure Daoist even more was...

'If the Purple Mansion Continent lineage possesses the [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation], they can defeat the Demon Clan and rightfully claim their place in the Heavenly Court.'

'The Daoist court and our Mystic Gate Immortal Path are deeply intertwined, with profound karmic ties. There is still room for maneuver within this relationship.'

'If Purple Mansion Continent is defeated...'

How powerful must the Demon Clan race be?

Is a powerful force difficult to control?

What should we do?

The usually calm and composed mind of the Grand Pure Daoist was suddenly thrown into turmoil.

He hadn't expected it.

The situation that they had planned and painstakingly built up over countless years was disrupted by the two opposing forces.

The Taiji Diagram, with its Yin and Yang Qi hanging down, obscured the enigmatic expression on the Grand Pure Daoist.

The power of Heavenly Dao's will is terrifying and awe-inspiring!

We need to think carefully about what to do next!
