That year!

I had my hands in my pockets, knowing no equal as an opponent.

Demon Lord Jidu struck such a pose, looking down on East King Duke, Zhunti, and Jieyin, his eyes brimming with disdain, as if they were already trapped beasts, left to his mercy.

"Brother East King Duke, do you have a plan?"

Zhunti said in a weak voice.

At this point, matters were no longer within his control.

Hearing this, East King Duke gave a slight nod.

"I am skilled in nurturing Righteous Qi, emerge!"

He chanted deeply, and the vast, boundless Immortal Dao Law swept forth. The Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud rang with Immortal Music, hovering above Zhunti and Jieyin's heads, cleansing the demonic aura.

It was as if the Dao Heart Demonic Seed, encountering a formidable foe, stirred restlessly deep within their origins, releasing even more Demonic Path energy.

The Demonic Path was immeasurable; the Immortal Path, vast and distant.

At that moment, two forces clashed within Zhunti and Jieyin's bodies. Their meridians shattered, and blood sprayed from their pores.

Seeing this, Demon Lord Jidu sneered.

"The Dao Heart Demonic Seed was derived by the Demon Ancestor from a hundred thousand years of cultivation. Each seed can grant a living being the power of a Quasi-Saint Peak directly. How could you possibly dissolve it?"

"The Demonic Dao Principles are supreme. The power of the Immortal Path is but a mayfly, an ant!"

Demon Ancestor Luohu was the sovereign of the Demonic Path. Only the Dao Heart Demonic Seeds personally refined by him possessed the might Demon Lord Jidu spoke of, and they contained the Demonic Path Laws within.

Misfortune is where fortune relies!

If they were ordinary beings, they would surely choose to fall into the Demonic Path. But Zhunti and Jieyin were Heavenly Dao Saints; they would not submit so easily!

"Since the Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud cannot dissolve it, This Emperor will try other means!"

"Brother Jieyin, I observe that your Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus is fated to be with me. Could you cede it to This Emperor? It is only because I need to use my trump card to remove the Dao Heart Demonic Seed from you!"

"Rest assured, This Emperor is not taking advantage of your plight, but showing concern. If it truly won't do, then forget it?"

East King Duke withdrew the Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud.

Everything before had merely been a slight probe of Demon Lord Jidu.

As Soon as These Words Were Spoken, Zhunti and Jieyin's expressions shifted. They exchanged a glance, feeling as if they had been tricked.

Yet to dissolve the Dao Heart Demonic Seed, they needed East King Duke's help.

This move was what they called an open scheme!

If he obtained the Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus, then East King Duke would only be missing the Twelve-Petal Karmic Fire Red Lotus and the Twelve-Petal World-Destroying Black Lotus. Then, the Chaos Green Lotus would re-emerge into the world!

"Forget it!"

"This Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus is rightfully yours, Brother. My fellow disciple and I will not take advantage!"

Jieyin gritted his teeth and, with pain, offered up the Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus. Its golden light of merit shimmered, radiating a dazzling brilliance that even stirred greed in Demon Lord Jidu.

"Brother, you understand the situation. Then This Emperor will naturally not fail my mission!"

"Dao Heart Demonic Seed, come to me!"

East King Duke turned and stowed away the Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus. Then, his Primordial Spirit probed deep into the origins of Zhunti and Jieyin, merging with the Dao Heart Demonic Seed.

Immediately, the World Tree Seed emitted a faint glimmer, as if sensing some opportunity, and devoured the two Dao Heart Demonic Seeds.

In an instant, Demon Lord Jidu's face darkened. He could no longer sense his connection to the seeds.

[Ding!]

[Detected World Tree Seed absorbing Dao Heart Demonic Seed. Growth Value increased by 10%. Current: 30%]

The system's voice echoed within East King Duke's Primordial Spirit.

In the blink of an eye, the demonic aura within Zhunti and Jieyin's origins vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed. The two were revitalized.

"What exactly did you do?"

Demon Lord Jidu frowned, admitting he had been careless.

Demonic light blazed from his eyes, and a chilling killing intent locked onto East King Duke. A murderous aura materialized out of thin air.

Winds and clouds shifted, demonic energy churned, and Immortal Charm leaked forth.

Atop Mount Sumeru, a great battle seemed unavoidable.

"This Emperor naturally removed the Dao Heart Demonic Seed. Now it's time to drive this evil wretch out of the Primordial World!"

"Zhunti, Jieyin, join Qiongqi in annihilating the Demon Race Army. Remember to hand all the skeletal remains over to Qiongqi. This Emperor has great use for them!"

East King Duke's eyes blazed with spirit.

With these words, Zhunti and Jieyin were overjoyed.

It seemed that before long, the Western World would return to their hands.

Thinking this, the two ignored East King Duke's extortion and directly offered up their spiritual treasures. The supreme power of the Immortal Path transformed into a rolling river, charging toward the Demon Race Army!

If you can't find the book by searching the title, try searching the author—maybe it's just been renamed!

In an instant, heaven and earth collapsed, divine abilities flying everywhere.

Qiongqi's dragon claws gripped the Chaos Gourd, countless Chaos Divine Thunders falling from the sky, striking down any who touched them, while the Chaos Qi Flow swept up the Devil Race's corpses, rampaging across the Western lands.

Atop the clouds, Immortal and Demonic stood opposed!

"East King Duke, you have angered This Lord!"

"A mere Late Quasi-Saint dares to fight a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin? Truly ignorant and foolish—how dare a firefly's light compete with the brilliance of the moon?"

Stepping on the Twelve-Petal World-Destroying Black Lotus, Demon Lord Jidu released his Zenith Heaven aura, a force of ten thousand jun pressing down toward East King Duke, causing heaven and earth to change color, sun and moon to lose their light.

"Tai Xu Divine Armor!"

"Primordial Measure Ruler, Slay Gods and Destroy Worlds!"

In an instant, the purple-gold armor turned into flowing light, shielding East King Duke's body, as Mysterious Yellow Qi and Ziwei Qi spread out.

Tai Xu Divine Armor for defense, Primordial Measure Ruler for attack.

At this moment, East King Duke was like a true war god, the Law of Strength shattering all laws, while the Yin-Yang Law, Space Law, and Immortal Dao Law were all activated.

A combat power surpassing Quasi-Saint Peak erupted completely!

"Boy, today This Lord will make you understand what a chasm of difference is!"

"This Lord will use your blood to sacrifice for the re-establishment of my Demon Sect!"

Demon Lord Jidu grew serious.

The Twelve-Petal World-Destroying Black Lotus shot out countless beams of dark light—Extinction Demonic Light, capable of annihilating all living beings.

At the same time, Nine Nether Demonic Fire evolved into countless visions, surging toward East King Duke to kill him!

High above the nine heavens.

The Primordial Measure Ruler flashed with purple-gold divine light, tearing through the Void world, its blinding radiance making all beings unable to open their eyes.

Void dimensions, Chaos space, the myriad heavens seemed on the verge of destruction.

Behind East King Duke, the shadows of three thousand worlds appeared, and in the next moment, the Great Dao of Strength transformed into a millstone, grinding everything into it.

Boom, rumble!

Clang, clang, clang!

The two energies collided, shredding all nothingness.

In the Western World, the earth shattered, mountains and rivers annihilated, leaving Zhunti and Jieyin unable to voice their grievances, their hearts feeling as if cut by knives.

"Demon Lord Jidu, let us go to Outside the Chaos to fight. If your attacks are as weak as before, then as a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin, you are truly unworthy of being a demonic cultivator!"

"The Tai Xu Divine Armor is impervious to all laws. Unless you have an Innate Supreme Treasure, even with your Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal power, you cannot break This Emperor's defense!"

"I hope that treasure is in your hands."

East King Duke let out a long roar, tore open a Space Rift, and stepped directly into it.

The Primordial World could not yet withstand the storm of a battle between Saint-level beings.

The treasure he spoke of was the Heavenly Dao Baleful Divine Artifact, the God-Slaying Spear, originally the lifebound treasure of Beast Emperor Shen Ni, later obtained by Demon Ancestor Luohu, its killing aura and demonic power capable of slaying Saints.

"This Lord wants to see what other tricks you have!"

Demon Lord Jidu vanished into the Space Rift, then engaged East King Duke in a great battle within the Chaos.

In that battle, countless Archaic Stars and billions of dimensional small worlds turned to dust, annihilated by their power.

The fight lasted who knows how long.

Blood flowed from the corner of East King Duke's mouth, the purple-gold light on the Tai Xu Divine Armor and Primordial Measure Ruler dimming. He frantically refined the energy within the Chaos Bead, tangling with Demon Lord Jidu.

Seeing this, Demon Lord Jidu's mouth twitched slightly.

After billions of rounds of battle, an ordinary Late Quasi-Saint great power would have been utterly helpless, but East King Duke was like a cockroach, relying on the Tai Xu Divine Armor to stubbornly withstand his attacks.

Even with all of Demon Lord Jidu's methods exhausted, he might not be able to kill East King Duke.

"Hmph!"

"This Lord has fought you long enough, already giving you face. Now is the time for your fall!"

"God-Slaying Spear, destroy!"

Demon Lord Jidu held nothing back. He directly summoned the Heavenly Dao Baleful Divine Artifact, the God-Slaying Spear, its killing divine patterns and demonic divine patterns flickering with dark light.

Nine Nether Demonic Fire blazed fiercely, transforming into an indestructible demonic armor shielding Demon Lord Jidu.

Cold, proud, domineering, fierce!

The might of the demonic path was fully displayed by Demon Lord Jidu.

"You really are Demon Ancestor Luohu's own son—he indeed gave you the God-Slaying Spear. But once you are defeated, this Heavenly Dao Baleful Divine Artifact will belong to This Emperor!"

"Fourth Form of Strength, Dao Falls into Samsara!"

East King Duke spoke slowly, his entire aura falling silent at that moment.

The Yin-Yang Law, Space Law, and Immortal Dao Law all converged into his body, leaving only the Law of Strength to suppress the Three Thousand Realms, stirring myriad transformations.

One force breaks ten thousand laws!

The battle is about to begin!
