Compared to the bustle around Kong Xuan, numerous confident experts had also arrived before the other arenas.

However, there were still far fewer than the challengers for the Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking.

After all, those who could cultivate to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm either possessed extraordinary foundations, had powerful backers, or enjoyed remarkable opportunities. Furthermore, they had all watched the challenges for the Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking.

They understood that Kong Xuan and the others were indeed among the strongest Grand Unity Golden Immortals in Hong Huang, making them difficult to defeat.

While the Myriad Races Experts watched the battle on Arena Number One, Jieyin's gaze fell upon Yuan Hong on Arena Number Nine.

Yuan Hong was a member of the demon clan, yet he was not someone the demon clan had focused on nurturing.

Even the Two Great Demon Emperors had not known that he would make it onto the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking.

"Maitreya!"

"Disciple is here!"

"Have you discovered Yuan Hong's weakness?"

"Reporting to Master, this disciple is dull-witted and has yet to discover one!"

"No rush. Watch carefully. Although Yuan Hong possesses boundless strength and an agile body, his foundation is inferior to yours. His endurance is not so great either, and he is not suited for prolonged battles..."

Jieyin's voice continued to ring out. He did not even hide this exchange from the Myriad Races of Hong Huang Experts, as though he had done so deliberately.

Although Maitreya had also reached the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, he had only broken through recently. Naturally, his name was not among the top ten on this battle power ranking.

However, among the Western Teachings, he was the one whose strength came closest to Golden Cicada's.

Therefore, Jieyin intended to instruct him on the spot and uncover Yuan Hong's weaknesses so that Maitreya could step forward and challenge him.

Before that, however, he needed more people to challenge Yuan Hong and force him to expose further weaknesses, allowing Maitreya to memorize them one by one.

"Hmm?"

"A Saint is analyzing Yuan Hong's weaknesses in public?"

"Is that true? If we know his weaknesses, we might have a chance of winning!"

"Hahaha! Then I shall be the next challenger!"

"..."

At that moment, numerous experts at the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm rushed toward Arena Number Nine.

They feared someone else would get there first.

At the very least, they had already learned one of Yuan Hong's weaknesses.

Meanwhile, Saint Yuanshi also beckoned Taiyi Zhenren over from behind him.

"Go to Arena Number Nine and challenge Yuan Hong after Maitreya. Your master will naturally inform you of his weaknesses!"

"Disciple obeys Master's Edict!"

Taiyi Zhenren was overjoyed. He hurriedly nodded and accepted the order before heading toward Arena Number Nine.

At the same time, Yuanshi's voice rang out beside his ears, informing him of several of Yuan Hong's weaknesses.

"Hmm?"

"Saint Yuanshi actually sent a disciple to Arena Number Nine as well?"

"Could it be that he also told his disciple Yuan Hong's weaknesses?"

"That works too?"

"..."

The Myriad Races Experts could not help but reveal curious expressions. They wanted to know whether Yuan Hong would become the first person among the top ten of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking to be defeated.

However, Di Jun and Taiyi's expressions turned extremely grim.

"Jieyin, Yuanshi, you are Saints of Hong Huang and should be respected by all races!"

"Yet now, you are using your authority as Saints to scheme against a Grand Unity Golden Immortal of our demon clan. Is that not going too far?"

Taiyi stepped forward first and looked toward Jieyin and Yuanshi.

As soon as his words fell, Yuanshi and Jieyin's expressions darkened.

"Taiyi, are you speaking to This Venerable?"

Yuanshi cast Taiyi a cold glance. A thread of Saintly might emerged around him and bore directly down upon Taiyi.

Had Laozi not reached out beside him to stop him, he would have already unleashed his treasure and blasted Taiyi.

It was not that he had a violent temper. He was simply embarrassed and enraged after being exposed for what he had just done.

"Taiyi, this poor Daoist is merely instructing his disciple. If you refuse to accept it, you may join the Western Teachings. This poor Daoist will certainly impart to you supreme insights into attaining the Dao!"

Jieyin revealed a faint smile. After all, he had been the first to begin this scheme.

However, Yuanshi had already taken the blame this time, so there was no need for him to threaten Taiyi. It would be better to recruit him instead, making him appear more magnanimous.

"Yuanshi!"

"Jieyin!"

"You two are truly bullying others too far!"

"This Emperor is not one of those ants, nor is our demon clan some minor race that others may oppress at will!"

"Chaos Bell, emerge!"

Taiyi shouted coldly several times before directly summoning the Chaos Bell. It hovered above his head, releasing terrifying Chaos Qi and blocking the swiftly approaching thread of Saintly might.

He had now completely refined the Chaos Bell. The power he could unleash had increased several hundredfold compared to before, so a mere thread of Saintly might could no longer suppress him.

Sensing the power of the Innate Supreme Treasure, all the Myriad Races Experts turned to look at Taiyi.

In particular, the many Ancestral Witches, as well as East Prince and West Queen Mother of the Immortal Court, showed deep solemnity in their eyes.

The power now erupting from the Chaos Bell made even their hearts tremble. It would likely not be so easy to suppress the demon clan in the future.

At this moment, East Prince seemed to have formed a scheme in his heart.

He suddenly stepped forward, his aura surging wildly as he glanced at Taiyi.

"Taiyi, do you know where this place is?"

"Could it be that you intend to provoke conflict in Hong Huang, anger the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking, and affect the operation of the Heavenly Dao?"

"If that is the case, do not blame This Emperor for delivering punishment and punishing your entire demon clan!"

As East Prince spoke, he walked toward Taiyi.

Although his aura was inferior to Taiyi's, he took out the treasure bestowed upon him by the Dao Ancestor, seemingly displaying his status as the Immortal Head.

"What a fine Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Court. This Emperor thinks you fear the Saints' might, which is why you are targeting the demon clan!"

"With such conduct, who among the Myriad Races of Hong Huang would submit to you?"

Taiyi actually understood that the Saints would not necessarily lower themselves enough to take action.

After all, this was only the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking. Above it were rankings for Great Luo, Quasi-Saints, and even higher cultivation realms. The Saints could not possibly be so unable to restrain themselves.

It was East Prince who fancied himself capable of controlling Hong Huang and even wished to punish the demon clan. He was nothing more than a jumping clown.

Moreover, the man's words just now had already stirred anger in Taiyi's heart.

"Unconvinced?"

"This Emperor was appointed by the Dao Ancestor as the head of male immortals. All male immortals of Hong Huang should come and pay respects. You are merely one of the Demon Emperors among the myriad races, yet you dare question This Emperor's judgment?"

"Could it be that you do not even regard the Dao Ancestor's appointment?"

East Prince spoke again, directly placing a huge accusation upon Taiyi.

"The Immortal Emperor speaks correctly!"

"Taiyi, if you speak in such a manner, you should receive supreme punishment!"

A sharp gleam flashed through Jieyin's eyes. His aura trembled slightly as he sneered at Taiyi.

"Taiyi, how dare you disrespect Master?"

On the other side, Yuanshi's expression had also darkened.

East Prince's sudden appearance displeased him somewhat. Otherwise, if he had stepped forward himself, how could Taiyi have had any chance to act so arrogantly?

"What the two Saints say is most reasonable. Taiyi, if your demon clan does not wish to be annihilated, then quietly watch the challenges for this Grand Unity Golden Immortal Cultivation Battle Power Ranking!"

"Otherwise, This Emperor will command the Myriad Races of Hong Huang to annihilate your demon clan!"

East Prince shouted coldly again, a trace of smugness appearing on his face.
