West Queen Mother's Tender Heart is Secretly Won, Beast King Qiongqi Taken as Mount!

The Archaic Stars blazed, dazzling and brilliant.

The Sun Star burned with divine fire and raging flames, while the Moon Star stood cold, pure, and aloof.

The Myriad Stars revolved along mysterious trajectories, conforming to the Heavenly Dao Principles.

"The Demon Race's Myriad Stars Great Array was comprehended by the two Golden Crow brothers from these very stars. I wonder if This Emperor can grasp a thread of its Qi Mechanism?"

East King Duke closed his eyes tightly, his Primordial Spirit covering the entire starry sky.

Every star in the heavens lay beneath his divine sense; should he wish it, he could annihilate countless stars in an instant.

"Heavenly Secrets are unfathomable—the time has not yet come!"

"Otherwise, even without the Innate Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell, This Emperor could use the Yin-Yang Law to commune with the stars, create the Myriad Stars Great Array from nothing, and possess Quasi-Saint Peak combat power with a single thought!"

The Witch-Demon Tribulation: Witches ruled the earth, Demons ruled the heavens.

As long as Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi lived, even if East King Duke fully understood the rules of the Myriad Stars, he could never truly activate the Myriad Stars Great Array.

Such were the Heavenly Dao Rules!

In the Primordial Wilderness, there existed several peerless great arrays.

The Myriad Stars Great Array, the Twelve Heavens Gods and Demons Great Array, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, and East King Duke's own Myriad Immortals Great Array.

But deploying the Myriad Immortals Great Array required establishing an Immortal Court and scheming for Heavenly Dao Destiny—this conflicted with East King Duke's Great Path. He had no desire to become a pawn in the Witch-Demon Tribulation.

Struggles over Destiny were, in truth, the inferior path.

The superior path, as exemplified by Haotian, was to win the position of Co-Lord of Heaven and Earth without shedding a drop of blood.

Crossing the starry sky, East King Duke arrived at the Outer Heaven Chaos.

But to truly step into the Chaos Void, he had to traverse the endless billions of miles of the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Layer—the boundary between the stars and chaos.

Crackle!

Whoosh!

Shush, shush, shush!

Geng Metal Divine Thunder, Wu Earth Divine Thunder, Purple Firmament Divine Thunder tore through space and darkness, violent energies spilling forth and surging toward East King Duke.

Beyond these, thunderfire raged and gales howled.

Chaos and tumult, equal to the Chaos Void itself.

"If an ordinary Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal came here, they'd indeed need to expend considerable effort to enter the Outer Heaven Chaos. But This Emperor's physical body rivals a Chaos Demon God—naturally, no effort is required!"

East King Duke swept his divine sense across the void and detected several Innate Deities using spiritual treasures to resist the thunder.

And deep within the nine-layer Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire, two figures were locked in fierce battle.

"A Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal is fighting. Who could it be?"

Curious, East King Duke plunged into the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire, reaching its deepest depths.

Across the distant void, he saw endless storms brewing; with a wave of a hand, violent dharma power annihilated everything.

"So it's a woman—not bad-looking!"

"As for that exotic beast... it's actually the Fierce Beast Qiongqi!"

East King Duke did not conceal his aura but strode directly to the center of the battlefield.

One hand behind his back, a faint smile on his lips, he appeared utterly unruffled.

Seeing East King Duke approach, the storm of battle abruptly ceased.

"This Seat is West Queen Mother. Greetings, fellow Daoist!"

West Queen Mother

Her skin was like congealed fat, her bones ice and jade, her figure enchanting.

Her smooth, tender cheeks seemed ready to burst at a touch; her bright eyes and white teeth stirred even East King Duke's heart.

West Queen Mother—the future Head of Female Immortals?

East King Duke realized instantly. No wonder he sensed a familiar aura from her—it was the Dao resonance of the Primordial Wilderness's first strand of Yin energy.

It drew him, with the Yang energy within his own body, in an unseen mutual attraction.

"This Emperor is East King Duke. Greetings, Daoist West Queen Mother!"

"This Fierce Beast Qiongqi has had its physical body destroyed, leaving only its Primordial Spirit fused with the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire. Still, its combat power is at late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. May I ask why you, fellow Daoist, provoked it?"

East King Duke gave a slight bow.

The Fierce Beast Qiongqi had once been the right hand of Beast Emperor Shen Ni during the Fierce Beast Calamity, famed alongside Taotie, Taotie, and Chaos. To think it still lived!

Pity its fate was rather miserable!

Its body was completely ruined!

Hearing this, West Queen Mother's delicate face flushed slightly, looking utterly shy and alluring.

"The Fierce Beast Clan is a scourge upon the Primordial Wilderness. This Seat saw that Qiongqi was nothing but a Primordial Spirit and sought to slay it for some Heavenly Dao Merit. But I never expected this wretch's foundation to be so deep—I nearly fell into its trap!"

"If you help me kill it, all the Heavenly Dao Merit will be yours!"

As West Queen Mother spoke, killing intent blazed in her eyes.

Though her cultivation was merely at Mid-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, her divine abilities and magical powers far surpassed those of the dying Qiongqi.

Hearing this!

East King Duke nodded slightly.

Within the Primordial World, Heavenly Dao Merit was a universal remedy—it could both elevate cultivation and condense a Merit Golden Wheel to protect oneself.

If one's merit was profound, others would not dare to strike.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao would descend punishment.

During the Fierce Beast Calamity, Beast Emperor Shen Ni led the Fierce Beast Clan in a bid to slaughter all races, destroy the Primordial World, and restore Chaos, but under the suppression of great powers like Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Ancestor Dragon, and Primordial Phoenix, it became nothing but the past.

Even though Beast Emperor Shen Ni possessed boundless divine power, he ended up with neither corpse nor bone, reduced to nothing.

Truly, a most tragic fate!

"Qiongqi, are you willing to die?"

East King Duke turned to look at the Thunder Beast. With a body of flame and lightning, Qiongqi was truly a ruthless one.

Beneath that Thunder-Fire Body lay the Primordial Spirit of the Fierce Beast Qiongqi.

Its appearance resembled a tiger, its body like an ox, with a pair of wings and a ferocious nature.

No wonder it was a king of the Fierce Beast Clan!

"Roar, roar, roar... If you want to kill me, let's see if you have the strength. Why not fight it out and settle the matter!"

"As long as I devour you, I might even be able to reshape my body!"

Clearly, the Fierce Beast Qiongqi had sensed the Yin-Yang Law aura on East King Duke and wanted to use the Power of Yin-Yang to evolve Life Force, thereby restoring its former cultivation.

In an instant!

The entire Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Layer erupted into chaos. Endless lightning and flame surged toward East King Duke and West Queen Mother, as if the two were trapped in a hellish abyss.

Seeing this, West Queen Mother channeled her magic power to resist.

But against the rampaging Fierce Beast Qiongqi, her Mid-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivation was clearly insufficient.

"Pfft!"

The moment they clashed, boundless thunder-fire sent West Queen Mother flying.

Her red lips parted slightly as she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her form was disheveled, stirring pity.

"Leave this to me!"

"Heal yourself first. This is a Yellow Middle Plum—it can stabilize the restless blood energy within you."

In a daze!

East King Duke stepped on an Auspicious Cloud and caught West Queen Mother around the waist.

His chest was warm, his gaze gentle.

The Chaos Void seemed to ripple with Seven-Colored Light, bursting forth amid the vast and ethereal expanse.

"Daoist..."

Before West Queen Mother could say anything, she saw East King Duke leap into the air, the Yin-Yang Law creating a supreme divine ability as he struck toward the ferocious beast.

After a moment's hesitation, West Queen Mother swallowed the Yellow Middle Plum to recover from her injuries.

But her Phoenix Eyes were fixed tightly on East King Duke, like a clear pool stirred by ripples.

A Tender Heart that had remained untouched for tens of thousands of years now pounded like a startled deer.

Thunder baptized him, flames scorched his body.

East King Duke showed no fear of the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire. Instead, he walked right up to Qiongqi, and the Yin-Yang Law in his hands transformed into Chains that pierced through Qiongqi's Wings.

"Qiongqi, how about I offer you a path to survival? Become my Mount, and I will help you reshape your body, erase the Heaven and Earth Sha Qi, and set you back on the path of cultivation!"

After all, this was a king of the Fierce Beast Clan, and East King Duke had taken a liking to talent.

Qiongqi's foundation and talent were both comparable to top-tier Innate Deities, but it was bound by the Heaven and Earth Sha Qi and influenced by the Chaos Demon God Remnant Soul, which made it extremely violent and enraged.

If he could take it under his command, it would eventually become a Quasi-Saint Peak combatant.

Hearing this!

Qiongqi's gaze was fierce, its expression tinged with suspicion.

In the era of the Fierce Beast Calamity, even Beast Emperor Shen Ni could not wash away the Chaos Demon God Remnant Soul. This East King Duke before him seemed to be speaking big words.

If it turned out to be false, wouldn't he be boarding a pirate ship?

"Are you serious?"

"If you can swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, I am willing to be your mount!"

Clinging to a sliver of hope, Qiongqi spoke slowly.

Now his physical body was utterly destroyed, calamity qi clinging to him as he hid within the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Layer—a scene tinged with no small sorrow.

If he could regain a chance at life, boundless opportunities would surely follow.

Quasi-Sage, Sage!

Even the former Beast Emperor Shen Ni had never touched the highest echelons.

Qiongqi's heart was set solely on the Dao; he refused to fall so miserably!

"You are in no position to negotiate terms."

"This Emperor will not kill you, but this is your only chance. If you come to your senses, then follow me!"

The East King Duke lightly flicked his jade sleeve, turning his back to Qiongqi as he spoke.

Then, his right arm wrapped around the West Queen Mother's waist; after a brief struggle, she nestled into his embrace.

The Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire raged as the two flew toward the direction of the Purple Cloud Palace.

In but a moment!

Amidst heaven-shaking, earth-shattering portents, Qiongqi swept up boundless Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire and appeared beneath the East King Duke's feet.
