East Prince Gong's Defeat

Tai Yi was repelled, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but the fighting spirit in his eyes blazed even brighter.

He stared intently at the East Prince Gong, whose aura was like a towering sky within the formation's core, then quickly glanced at Qin Yuan, who had just regained his footing in the distance, and Xuan Qing beside him.

A thought flashed through his mind.

Although he didn't know why the East Prince Gong had mastered the Myriad Immortals Array at this point in time.

He was certain that if the immortal soldiers and generals forming the array were killed, the Myriad Immortals Array would be broken.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Qing!" Tai Yi suddenly transmitted, his voice urgent and decisive, "Go all out and force him to confront us head-on, so he has no time to spare!"

Xuan Qing's eyes flickered, and he instantly understood Tai Yi's intention.

The Green Lotus Sword was drawn from its sheath, Creation sword intent began to condense, its target aimed directly at the East Prince Gong's brow.

Tai Yi himself let out a long roar.

Solar True Fire burned fiercely around him, as if transforming into a true falling sun. He no longer held back, madly urging the Chaos Bell.

"Clang--!!!"

This time, the bell's chime was unprecedentedly vast, desolate, and ancient!

The sound waves reached out, not only solidifying space but also causing time itself to seem to momentarily lag.

Streams of chaotic energy blades, far thicker and more solid than before, like remnants from the dawn of creation, carrying the domineering power to crush laws, slashed down towards the East Prince Gong.

Tai Yi was disregarding his own losses, intending to pin the East Prince Gong firmly in place, forcing him into a head-on confrontation!

Seeing this, a trace of disdain and anger flashed across the East Prince Gong's face.

"A dying struggle! This Emperor will plunge you into utter despair!"

He felt the surging, seemingly endless power of the myriad immortals within his body, his spirit soaring.

The Dragon Head Crutch swung again, and the Myriad Immortals Array diagram beneath his feet shone with brilliant light. The spiritual energy of the immortals transformed into roaring jade dragons, meeting Tai Yi's chaotic energy blades.

At the same time, immortal light condensed around him into an incredibly thick armor, preparing to withstand Xuan Qing's sword intent, which made him feel a faint tremor.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

More intense collisions erupted.

Tai Yi poured all his strength into it, pushing the Chaos Bell to the absolute limit of his current realm.

Each chime of the bell made his face grow paler, clearly indicating an immense burden.

But he held on tightly, the chaotic energy blades continuous and relentless, stubbornly entangling the East Prince Gong's defensive immortal light and jade dragons.

The Green Lotus Sword in Xuan Qing's hand also unleashed nine world-destroying green sword lights, slashing towards the East Prince Gong from different directions.

The sword lights struck the East Prince Gong, and he merely grunted.

The immortal light around him vibrated violently, and nine tiny cracks spread across his armor.

Even with the boost from the Myriad Immortals Array, the East Prince Gong felt a surge of blood and qi, and his divine sense controlling the array experienced a slight sluggishness.

Meanwhile...

Qin Yuan, who had been at the edge of the battlefield, seemingly injured by the previous shockwave, suddenly had his eyes erupt with brilliance.

The East Prince Gong was being tied down by the desperate attacks of Tai Yi and Xuan Qing, with most of his attention and power focused on the frontal assault, inevitably creating a gap in his control over the Myriad Immortals Array itself.

Qin Yuan's figure flickered, and he shot straight towards the immortal soldiers and generals maintaining the Myriad Immortals Array!

These immortal soldiers and generals varied in strength.

But the strongest among them were only at Late Grand Unity, how could they possibly contend against Qin Yuan, who was at the Quasi-Saint realm?

Qin Yuan let out a furious roar, the Solar Divine Wheel above his head spun silently, and suddenly differentiated into hundreds, even thousands, of miniaturized golden fire wheels.

These fire wheels were only palm-sized, their auras contained, yet they held pure Solar True Fire and the power to break formations.

"Go!"

Qin Yuan's hand seals changed, and the thousands of miniaturized fire wheels, like a swarm of golden bees with spiritual awareness, suddenly scattered.

They followed the flow of spiritual energy within the Myriad Immortals Array, silently shooting towards the immortal soldiers and generals forming the array!

"Hmm?" The East Prince Gong, amidst the fierce confrontation, still had his divine sense covering the entire battlefield. He instantly detected those faint energy fluctuations that were aimed at the foundation of the array.

"How dare an ant!" he roared in fury, wanting to divert his attention to intercept, or to mobilize the array's power to crush Qin Yuan.

But would Tai Yi and Xuan Qing give him such an opportunity?

"East Prince Gong! We are your opponents!" Tai Yi roared, and spat out a mouthful of his vital essence blood, sprinkling it onto the Chaos Bell.

The Chaos Bell hummed thunderously, erupting with unprecedented light. A pillar of chaotic light, almost solidified, like Buzhou Mountain toppling, crashed down towards the East Prince Gong!

Xuan Qing's eyes sharpened further.

The Green Lotus Sword transformed into a green rainbow that pierced through heaven and earth, separating infinite time and space, and directly stabbed towards the East Prince Gong's Primordial Spirit.

The East Prince Gong's hair stood on end. The fatal sense of crisis forced him to retract almost all of his attention.

The moment he was forced to fully confront Tai Yi and Xuan Qing.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft...

A series of faint yet dense thuds echoed across various parts of the battlefield.

The immortal soldiers and generals maintaining the formation, especially the rogue cultivators at the critical nodes, were caught off guard and struck by the Solar True Fire wheels that Qin Yuan had split apart.

Instantly, screams erupted everywhere!

The light of dozens of formation nodes abruptly extinguished, severing their connections.

The immortal soldiers and generals maintaining the formation either died or were injured, and the formation's structure was thrown into chaos.

The operation of the Myriad Immortals Array suffered a fatal stutter and disruption!

"Scum!"

East Prince Gong's roar, a mixture of shock and rage, reverberated through the thirty-three heavens.

He could clearly feel his cultivation base plummeting madly.

Late-stage Quasi-Saint... peak mid-stage Quasi-Saint... in the blink of an eye, he had fallen back to the mid-stage Quasi-Saint he was originally.

Furthermore, due to the formation's backlash and the sudden withdrawal of power, he had become unstable and shaky!

How could Tai Yi and Xuan Qing miss such a heaven-sent opportunity?

Tai Yi, disregarding his own consumption, made the Chaos Bell roar again, fiercely smashing towards the opening East Prince Gong revealed as his aura plummeted.

Xuan Qing's Green Lotus Sword light followed like a shadow. With a turn of the blade, it sliced towards the arm wielding the Dragon Head Crutch!

"Damn it!!!"

East Prince Gong's eyes were about to split, and boundless unwillingness and panic surged within him.

He hadn't expected his trump card to be destroyed by the opponent in such a manner!

At this moment, with the formation's backlash and unstable power, facing the full assault of Tai Yi and Xuan Qing, he was no longer able to resist head-on.

Wasn't he the protagonist of this world? Why would he suffer defeat in the very first battle!

"Your Majesty the Immortal Emperor! Hurry and leave!" Below, some loyal immortal court generals cried out in alarm.

East Prince Gong knew the tide had turned. If he lingered any longer, he might truly face the danger of perishing.

As long as the green hills remain, there will be wood to burn.

He attributed the reason for this defeat to the Immortal Court having been developed for too short a time.

Once he develops further, he would definitely be able to suppress Tai Yi.

East Prince Gong cast a hateful glance at Tai Yi and Xuan Qing, then fixed his gaze intently on Qin Yuan, who was slaughtering immortal soldiers and generals in the distance.

"Tai Yi! Xuan Qing! Qin Yuan! This debt of today, this Emperor remembers! I will repay it a hundredfold in the future!"

He violently swung his Dragon Head Crutch, evading Xuan Qing's sword edge, and endured the residual shockwave of the Chaos Bell's strike. Using that force, he spat out blood and flew backward.

At the same time, he rolled up his sleeve.

Immortal light enveloped the remaining immortal soldiers and generals, transforming into a mournful streak of immortal light. Without looking back, he broke through the boundary of the Grand Emperor Yellow Firmament Heaven and madly fled towards Penglai in the East Sea of the Great Desolation below!
