"I've been on Taiyin Star for quite some time. If anyone's been disturbing someone, it's you lot disturbing my cultivation." Ye Jun spoke slowly, his expression icy.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi replied coldly, "Fellow Daoist Ye Jun, the Demon Heavenly Court has its own affairs. You'd best not interfere."
If the Demon Heavenly Court's reputation alone could persuade this menace to leave, that would naturally be for the best.
"Get lost. Who do you think you are, telling me what to do?" Ye Jun roared.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's face instantly turned livid. He had dominated the Primordial World of late; who would dare speak to him like that?
"You're asking for death!" Eastern Emperor Taiyi bellowed. He silently recited a cultivation art, and the Chaos Bell in his hand instantly conjured countless mountains that crashed toward Ye Jun.
For a moment, sand and rocks filled the air, fierce winds howled, and dark clouds blanketed the sky!
Before the palace, Changxi and Xihe felt their hearts leap into their throats. The Demon Court's god of war was terrifyingly powerful!
"Brother Ye Jun, be careful!" Changxi cried.
Ye Jun gave a cold snort. Yin-Yang Two Energies surged through his body, and a Taiji diagram slowly took shape above his head. It transformed into a shield that firmly protected Changxi and Xihe.
"Little sister, don't worry. Just watch me take him on!" Ye Jun laughed toward the sky.
Then, carrying the Qiankun Cauldron in his hand, with the Qiankun Diagram above his head, he transformed into a streak of light and charged straight at the mountain range formed by the countless peaks.
Qiankun energy became a giant dragon that coiled around Ye Jun. The force of Po Jun showed no sign of weakening. Moments later, a streak of light pierced straight through the countless mountain apparitions.
Changxi and Xihe could only see a beam of golden light shoot upward from below!
"Hmph!" Seeing Ye Jun about to reach them, Di Jun watched as two balls of light slowly appeared above his head.
The River Diagram and Luo Book abruptly manifested. Di Jun gave a low shout, and countless marks of law appeared in the ninth heaven, converging from all directions in front of Ye Jun.
Moments later, an embroidered landscape scroll slowly unfurled. The sun, moon, and stars; the celestial river and chaos; rare treasures and strange beasts—all appeared within it, manifesting across the Primordial World!
Ye Jun's heart skipped a beat. Good heavens! Di Jun really is something else now that he's broken through to Quasi-Saint!
The River Diagram had been a supreme treasure before, but it had never possessed such power. Di Jun truly lived up to his name as the Demon Heavenly Court's Heavenly Emperor!
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's face was dark as water. Ye Jun had broken through the mountains conjured by the Chaos Bell with such ease. How could he live that down?
He drew another breath of Pure Qi, and Spiritual Energy burst forth from the Chaos Bell in the sky!
"Mountains and rivers, rise!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi roared. Moments later, a rumble sounded from the ninth heaven, and Changxi and Xihe felt the world plunge into darkness.
It was as if even the Sun Star had lost its light.
When Ye Jun looked up, he saw a gigantic mountain slowly descending toward him.
Even Ye Jun, with all his experience, couldn't help but gasp. The mountain was so huge—it must have been several thousand zhang wide.
If that thing hit him, he'd be done for!
Damn it, Eastern Emperor Taiyi really was a vicious bird!
He left no room for mercy!
Ye Jun sneered. If you showed no mercy, don't blame me for returning the favor!
The God-Slaying Spear in his hand seethed with baleful energy. Ye Jun tightened his grip, and a surge of Yin-Yang Two Energies poured into the spear. In an instant, baleful energy soared to the heavens!
A black-and-red dragon burst from the spearhead, its head aimed at the enormous mountain as it breathed dragon fire.
Moments later, the baleful-energy dragon lashed its tail and slammed into the mountain!
Boom!
Dust and smoke filled the entirety of Taiyin Star, and shattered rocks flew everywhere. Even Ye Jun was forced back hundreds of miles!
His embroidered robe was now completely covered in dust.
Compared to Ye Jun's sorry state, Eastern Emperor Taiyi looked livid. His clothes were riddled with holes. If Di Jun's River Diagram and Luo Book hadn't formed a protective barrier, Eastern Emperor Taiyi would have been injured by now.
Seeing Eastern Emperor Taiyi in such a pitiful state filled Ye Jun with delight.
He raised the God-Slaying Spear again and thrust it at Eastern Emperor Taiyi. As baleful energy surged, it became a black-and-red streak of spear light that shot straight toward him!
Eastern Emperor Taiyi cried out and hurriedly retreated. If that spear struck him, he'd be severely injured at best!
"Brother, save me!" Eastern Emperor Taiyi hastily called for help.
Di Jun swept out his long sleeve and, carrying the River Diagram and Luo Book, flashed in front of Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
From the landscape scroll within the River Diagram, an embroidered river surged forth. It churned and roiled along its course, becoming a monstrous wave that swallowed the black-and-red spear light!
"This monkey's nothing special!" Di Jun sneered. Now that he'd broken through to Quasi-Saint, he was no longer as easy to bully as before!
Meanwhile, Ye Jun only sneered to himself. Did Di Jun really think his spear light could be swallowed so easily?
That old bird was underestimating him!
Di Jun hadn't even had time to celebrate when a beam of red light suddenly shot skyward from the tranquil embroidered river. In the blink of an eye, it was at Di Jun's brow!
Di Jun broke into a cold sweat. The Luo Book above his head immediately moved in front of him, its characters flowing with Dao Rhyme.
No matter how sharp the spear light was, it couldn't break through even an inch!
But Ye Jun was no slowpoke. In an instant, he dragged the God-Slaying Spear with him and charged right up to Di Jun.
"Old bird, take my spear!" Ye Jun roared as he reached Di Jun. He swung the God-Slaying Spear in a wide arc and brought it crashing down toward Di Jun's head.
The God-Slaying Spear traced a black-and-red arc through the air, and its tip struck Di Jun's neck.
Thud!
Di Jun was knocked backward. The spear tip grazed his neck, leaving a vivid red streak across it.
"Ye Jun, you're asking for death!" Di Jun snarled.
Who was he? The mighty Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Heavenly Court, commander of hundreds of millions of demons—and today, a mere monkey had wounded him.
How could he live that down?
Just as he was about to spit out some threat, Ye Jun swung again. Even Di Jun's quick reflexes couldn't help him dodge in time.
A dull thud rang out, and Di Jun, unable to muster his Spiritual Energy, was sent flying thousands of miles by the blow.
Standing with his spear in hand, Ye Jun said slowly, "Why are you yapping so much? What's with all the nonsense?"
Di Jun was about to spring up and roar when he saw Ye Jun raise the God-Slaying Spear again. He immediately held his tongue.
And Eastern Emperor Taiyi was even worse off. With the God-Slaying Spear in hand, Ye Jun slowly walked over to him.
"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, is there anything else you'd like to say?" Ye Jun asked slowly.
