Outside the Chaos.

Demon Lord Jidu found himself surrounded. His expression shifted as the Demonic Path Laws surged unceasingly within him, flowing toward the God-Slaying Spear and the Twelve-Petal World-Destroying Black Lotus.

In an instant, Demon Lord Jidu's aura ascended another level. With a casual swing of the God-Slaying Spear, he shattered the Space Cage, and his hollow chest slowly began to mend.

Only by burning his Demonic Path Heart did he recover his vitality.

Now, Demon Lord Jidu's eyes brimmed with venomous resentment. His entire presence grew darker and more sinister, as dense, extreme demonic qi turned into black magma, erupting from his body.

"The War of Dao and Demon—let it begin anew!"

"Before a true Demon Path Sovereign, you are nothing but insignificant ants. To attempt killing This Lord with mere Quasi-Saint cultivation is both pitiful and laughable."

"What is the Demonic Path? Today, you shall witness it!"

"Heavenly Demon Rakshasa Great Formation, arise!"

Demon Lord Jidu grew ever more frenzied. The Calamity and Karmic Retribution upon him transformed into a blood mist, rampaging and ravaging the surrounding space.

The Demonic Dao Principles evolved into countless chains, piercing through the Chaos Void and connecting to the Western World. Mysterious Demonic Path order intertwined, and demonic light flickered across the earth.

Atop Mount Sumeru, the Heavenly Demon Pagoda towered hundreds of millions of zhang, madly devouring all things between heaven and earth, refining them into Demonic Path Dharma power, resonating with those chains of Demonic Path order.

Suddenly, a supreme formation materialized out of nowhere, enveloping the entire Western World.

All demonic qi converged upon the Heavenly Demon Pagoda, then projected back into Outside the Chaos.

Before the many great powers could react, they were trapped within the formation, forced to summon their own spiritual treasures to protect their vital points and guard against Demon Lord Jidu's assault!

"By sacrificing the earth veins of Mount Sumeru, he consumes the Western World's last foundation to build the Heavenly Demon Rakshasa Great Formation, creating a Demonic Path domain!"

"Within the domain, Demon Lord Jidu moves like a fish in water, while we sink into a quagmire. But before This Emperor, you are still not enough!"

"Fellow Daoists, lend me the power of the Immortal Path. Aid This Emperor in breaking the formation and slaying the enemy!"

East King Duke stood firm atop the Chaos Qi Flow. With his wisdom, he quickly discerned Demon Lord Jidu's methods and devised a countermeasure.

One force breaks all laws!

Since his own Dharma power and origin were insufficient, he would borrow the strength of all beings. Using the Hongmeng Immortal Palace as a foundation, he would fuse the power of the Immortal Path!

Soon, the Quasi-Saint great powers flew before East King Duke, exchanging nods before channeling their Dharma power into the Hongmeng Immortal Palace. A vast, majestic aura of purple-gold qi surged outward.

In the Chaos Void, within the black demonic mist, a faint, ethereal light appeared.

As everyone's power converged, East King Duke clenched his fists. He felt the strength within him being unleashed—his Chaos Demon God Body could bear the power of all beings without any discomfort.

Meanwhile, Dijiang and Nuwa each deployed their divine abilities, helping East King Duke hold off Demon Lord Jidu to buy time.

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

"Kill!"

Demon Lord Jidu thrust his spear like a dragon, every strike lethal. He clashed fiercely with Dijiang and Nuwa, divine abilities flying wildly through the sky.

Yet, even with the combat experience of Demon Ancestor Luohu, he could not break through the defense of two Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals of the Origin, let alone annihilate them all.

A long while later.

East King Duke gazed at the radiant Hongmeng Immortal Palace, a smile curling at the corner of his lips. The Dharma power within him was now enough to rival Demon Lord Jidu's.

"Immortal Emperor, you must annihilate this demonic evil!"

"Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain!"

Old Master Taiqing stepped forward, giving East King Duke a slight bow.

As the head of the Mystic Gate, he knew well that the Demon Sect was the Mystic Gate's mortal enemy. If Demon Lord Jidu were not slain here, the next time would be far more troublesome.

Hearing this, East King Duke nodded firmly in response.

Slaying Demon Lord Jidu would grant him supreme merit, and moreover, he could obtain the demon's insights into the Demonic Path, perhaps even comprehend the Demonic Dao Principles themselves.

"Immortal Dharma is boundless; Yin and Yang have their Way; space is vast; power is supreme!"

"Four Styles of Power: Chaos Opens, World Creation, Slay Gods and Destroy Worlds, Dao Falls into Samsara!"

"Annihilate all laws!"

East King Duke held the Hongmeng Immortal Palace in one hand. His aura completely transcended the Quasi-Saint realm, reaching the level of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin. All his Dharma power and laws were fully unleashed.

In that instant!

The purple-gold divine light of the Hongmeng Immortal Palace illuminated all heavens and realms. The Four Styles of Power manifested as celestial phenomena, transforming into four fierce attacks that struck directly at Demon Lord Jidu.

In a flash, the Heavenly Demon Rakshasa Great Formation shattered. Cracks spread across space as Chaos Gale Winds and Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water ran rampant. Dimensional laws collapsed entirely.

"This is impossible!"

"Heavenly Demon Pagoda! Twelve-Petal World-Destroying Black Lotus! Block it for This Lord!"

"God-Slaying Spear, kill!"

Demon Lord Jidu was panicked and terrified. Facing East King Duke's Four Styles of Power, he had no means of resistance and could only shield himself with his spiritual treasures.

The Heavenly Demon Pagoda tore through the void from Mount Sumeru. The Twelve-Petal World-Destroying Black Lotus ignited with Nine Nether Demonic Fire. Countless Demonic Path Forbidden wards protected Demon Lord Jidu.

Life and death hung in a single instant!

"Withdraw!"

East King Duke spoke the divine patterns of the Immortal Path, and the gray Chaos Bead suddenly appeared, directly swallowing the Heavenly Demon Pagoda and the Twelve-Petal World-Destroying Black Lotus into itself.

If not for the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk being damaged and the Space Divine Staff unable to be refined, East King Duke would have long since used the power of his supreme treasures to suppress Demon Lord Jidu.

His expression froze, demonic path mana operating mechanically.

A crack appeared on Demon Lord Jidu's Dao heart; what he faced now was not East King Duke, but the boundless might of the entire Primordial World.

Within the void, loud echoes resounded.

The Four Styles of World Opening all landed upon Demon Lord Jidu's body. The Heavenly Dao baleful heterodox treasure, the God-Slaying Spear, instantly showed cracks and flew out of his hand.

The Chaos Bead erupted with devouring power, collecting the God-Slaying Spear.

Blood cascaded like a waterfall, suspended within the space. Demon Lord Jidu's body shattered into several pieces, sealed by the rules of the Immortal Path.

His Primordial Spirit dimmed, his True Spirit unseen.

A moment ago, he was a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin radiating Boundless Demonic Might; now he was a lamb awaiting slaughter, suppressed by the Hongmeng Immortal Palace, utterly powerless to resist.

The demonic qi dissipated, the immortal light receded.

East King Duke activated the Chaos Bead, collecting all the demon blood, flesh, and demonic path origin within the space.

Demon Lord Jidu had only a single Primordial Spirit and True Spirit floating in the Chaos Void, bound by countless immortal path rules turned into sealing prohibitions.

One could say his life and death hung on a single thought from East King Duke.

"Damn it all, you made my fellow disciples' ten thousand years of effort come to nothing, turned the Western World into a Demon Realm, and sent countless living beings to become vengeful spirits!"

"Junior Brother, beat him!"

Jieyin's eyes brimmed with tears. He clenched his right hand into a fist and rained blows upon Demon Lord Jidu's Primordial Spirit and True Spirit.

Although with his Quasi-Saint Peak cultivation he could not make Demon Lord Jidu fall, at least it could vent his hatred and release some of the resentment in his heart.

Seeing this, East King Duke did not stop him.

The others, including the Three Pure Ones, Zhen Yuanzi, Old Ancestor Hongyun, and the rest, could not help but feel pity. Their regret was not for Zhunti and Jieyin, but for the Western World.

After what Demon Lord Jidu had done, the Western World would be difficult to restore.

The entire Western land had once boasted Mount Sumeru and Spirit Mountain as sacred cultivation grounds, but the Earth Veins of Mount Sumeru had already been destroyed, leaving only Spirit Mountain as a place rich in spiritual energy.

Across endless billions of miles of land, only Spirit Mountain remained as a place filled with spiritual energy—truly a tragic state of affairs.

"Demon Lord Jidu, do you submit?"

Only after Zhunti and Jieyin had vented did East King Duke walk over, the fierce killing intent in his eyes impossible to dispel.

As a supreme Innate Deity, he had never liked the remnants of the Chaos Demon Gods, and cultivating the Immortal Path only deepened his compassion for all things in the Primordial World.

Demon Lord Jidu had touched a nerve; only destruction awaited him.

If he had followed Dao Ancestor Hongjun's example and preached the Dao, spreading the Demon Path, that would have been one thing.

After all, the Demon Path was one of the Three Thousand Great Daos. If Primordial Era Beings cultivated it, they could temper their Dao hearts and let a hundred flowers bloom!

But Demon Lord Jidu should not have turned the Western World into a Demon Realm, refining billions of living beings into a Demon Race Army. This violated the harmony of heaven and defied the order of the Great Dao.

Even Zhunti and Jieyin, though they sometimes converted beings, had never sunk to the depths of Demon Lord Jidu's sin!

"Hehehe... This Lord does not fear death. I regret only not completing the heavy task assigned by the Demon Ancestor. Now that my Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin cultivation is crippled, I shall fall into an abyss of endless calamity!"

"If you're going to act, hurry up!"

Demon Lord Jidu laughed bitterly. Without cultivation, he was nothing but trash.

Moreover, having ruined the schemes of Demon Ancestor Luohu, even if East King Duke did not act, the Demon Ancestor in the Chaos would make his life worse than death.

Only one path remained—death, with no escape!

Thus, Demon Lord Jidu accepted his fate.

Seeing this, East King Duke's right hand blazed with Yin-Yang Divine Fire, transforming into countless fire serpents that coiled around Demon Lord Jidu's Primordial Spirit and True Spirit.

In moments, his divine consciousness would be destroyed.

"Stop!"

A sudden change occurred—a phantom figure appeared out of thin air!

Who goes there?
