The God-Slaying Spear's tip bristled with baleful energy, its power extraordinary. If the Qiankun One Qi Formation had been intact, it might have managed to hold out for a while.
But the Qiankun One Qi Formation had already been thrown into disarray by the Qiankun Cauldron. The mighty formation was pierced through by that single thrust!
It dissolved into specks of starlight that blended into the river of stars across the nine heavens.
After breaking the formation, Ye Jun didn't linger. With a flash, he appeared inside the cave dwelling that had once belonged to Qiankun Ancestor.
The moment Ye Jun had broken through the formation, his Divine Sense had already detected the Dao Rhyme within the cave dwelling.
A treasure!
The instant Ye Jun appeared in the cave dwelling on Immeasurable Mountain, he spotted a spirit diagram covered in crisscrossing grooves, suffused with Dao Rhyme!
Faint starlight drifted around the diagram, hinting at a vast underlying force as the Dao flowed through it!
The Qiankun Diagram!
Ye Jun couldn't hide his smile. With the Qiankun Diagram and the Qiankun Cauldron, he had inherited all of Qiankun Ancestor's legacy.
His collection of treasures had grown even richer.
Still, the Qiankun Cauldron, the Qiankun Diagram, the Yin-Yang Two Energies, and the Yin Yang Chess Pieces meant that both of the ancestors who had fallen when the Four Ancestors besieged Demon Ancestor Luohou were connected to him.
Such was fate!
Fortunately, those two ancestors had already suffered Death and Dao Annihilation tens of thousands of years ago. Otherwise, after taking so many spirit treasures, he might have incurred great Karma—and that wouldn't have been good for Ye Jun.
After obtaining the Qiankun Diagram, Ye Jun didn't linger on Immeasurable Mountain. It was the most valuable thing there.
As for everything else, Ye Jun's current collection was more than enough. He had no interest in it. He would leave it for whoever was fated to find it.
Then he vanished from Immeasurable Mountain.
In the great hall of the demon clan!
Di Jun sat at the head of the hall, with Eastern Emperor Taiyi to his left and numerous demon clan Sages seated below.
Not a single one spoke. The jade cup in Eastern Emperor Taiyi's hand was crushed to pieces.
"Brother, what is there left to hesitate over? East King Duke has been recruiting Great Beings from across the primordial world for some time now. The Purple Mansion has gradually risen to the top," Eastern Emperor Taiyi said slowly.
The many demon clan Sages below all turned their eyes toward Di Jun, seated at the head of the hall.
Di Jun's expression darkened. "East King Duke was appointed Head of Male Immortals by a Sage. If our demon clan attacks him, I'm afraid we'll have a hard time explaining ourselves at Zixiao Palace."
At present, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was the only Sage in the entire primordial world. What would become of the demon clan if they offended him?
Eastern Emperor Taiyi urged him gravely, "Brother, that fellow East King Duke may have been appointed by a Sage, but Sages devote themselves to cultivating the Great Dao. How could they possibly concern themselves with such a trivial matter?"
He glanced at the Sages below before continuing, "Besides, why shouldn't you be Head of Male Immortals?"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's words rang out forcefully in the terrifyingly silent hall, standing out with startling clarity.
Di Jun drew a deep breath, then slowly replied, "I understand. Starting today, we destroy the Purple Mansion!"
A smile finally appeared on Eastern Emperor Taiyi's face. The demon clan Sages below all wore fierce expressions. At last, they were going to make their move!
As the demon clan's God of War, Eastern Emperor Taiyi wasted no time. He immediately ordered the troops to march on the Purple Mansion.
Moments later, a mighty demon clan army was already advancing toward the Purple Mansion. The many powerful cultivators along the way watched in confusion.
The demon clan was mobilizing such a huge force—what were they planning?
Eastern Emperor Taiyi stood at the head of the army in full battle armor. Demonic energy surged around him, shrouding the entire sky like a vast cloud.
The many cultivators followed the army from afar, eager to watch the spectacle.
They all wanted to see what sort of major event could make the demon clan mobilize such a massive force!
Before long, the demon clan army arrived outside the Purple Mansion, surrounding it so completely that not even a drop of water could get through!
Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi stood at the very front, gazing at the Purple Mansion before them.
"Old East King Duke, come out and meet your death!" Eastern Emperor Taiyi roared, his voice shaking the heavens!
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a yellow robe appeared above the Purple Mansion, facing Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi from a distance!
"Di Jun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, what are you trying to do? Why have you brought the demon clan army here to attack me?" East King Duke demanded angrily.
He had been enjoying himself in the Purple Mansion when demonic energy suddenly filled the sky. Could those two really be planning to attack him?
"Hmph, East King Duke, are you deaf? I've made myself perfectly clear. Come out and meet your death!" Eastern Emperor Taiyi thundered.
East King Duke was stunned. Had those two lost their minds?
"Di Jun, you are the ruler of the demon clan, while I am the Head of Male Immortals appointed by a Sage. The Purple Mansion was established with the Sage's approval. Do you intend to defy the Sage's will?" East King Duke said coldly.
Di Jun said nothing. Eastern Emperor Taiyi stepped forward instead, pointing the Chaos Bell at East King Duke. "The Sage's will? You must be dreaming. From this day forward, there will be no more Purple Mansion in the primordial world!"
No more Purple Mansion?
East King Duke was furious, his face flushing red and then paling. Those two feathered brutes actually wanted to destroy his Purple Mansion?
As soon as the words left his mouth, Eastern Emperor Taiyi pointed the Chaos Bell and roared, "Kill! Leave no one alive in the Purple Mansion!"
The demon clan army behind Di Jun erupted in a thunderous roar. The many Sages led the charge, rushing toward the magnificent Purple Mansion.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Destroy the Purple Mansion! Let the clan's might be known!"
What the hell!
They really meant it!
Seeing the demonic energy sweeping toward him from all directions, East King Duke could no longer keep his cool.
"Eastern Emperor Taiyi, you old feathered brute! You're asking for death!" East King Duke howled.
Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi both sneered. If not for the opportunity a Sage had given East King Duke during a sermon, what right did a nobody like him have to stand here and speak?
"Brother, you needn't lift a finger. Just watch as I send this fool into reincarnation!" Eastern Emperor Taiyi said coldly.
The Chaos Bell in his hand blazed with golden light as he charged straight at East King Duke.
"East King Duke, die!" Eastern Emperor Taiyi closed in in an instant. He swung the Chaos Bell like a hammer, bringing it down on East King Duke.
Though stunned, East King Duke wasn't about to let himself be slaughtered!
He swung his Dragon Head Staff in a brilliant arc toward the Chaos Bell, but it left only a momentary mark on the bell.
Seeing that, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's grin widened. "Hahahaha! East King Duke, with your paltry tricks, you might as well obediently accept your death!"
He summoned the Chaos Bell, which transformed in midair into a golden mountain peak and suddenly crashed down toward East King Duke.
"Purple Qi Comes from the East!" East King Duke shouted, preparing to fight for his life!
