You May Call Me Eastern Emperor Taiyi

In the vast underground space, Yang Immortal Venerable brandished his Demon-Subduing Pestle, unleashing countless Golden Thunder. The Golden Wheel behind his head spun rapidly, and with each rotation, several Runes flew out, combining in front of him to form various incredibly powerful spells.

Behind him, a massive Six Paths of Reincarnation Phantom slowly rotated, encompassing the entire Immortal Imperial Army.

The power to easily destroy a region, or even an entire realm, was in his grasp, effortless and unparalleled. A thousand pounds of force focused on a single point could create an unstoppable force.

His opponents were a group of Demon Venerable with different appearances, about thirteen in total, and each with different abilities.

They have only one thing in common: they are all monsters at the Immortal Venerable level.

According to Yang Immortal Venerable's intelligence, Yingzhao has strong research capabilities. These Demon Race were created by Heavenly Gods after the defeat of the Heavenly Gods Clan, using the Residual Resentment the Celestial Gods to specifically target the Human Race.

It was once the steward of the Heavenly Emperor, doing mostly gardening and clerical work. However, its ability to fight head-on was unexpectedly weak. Even when facing Yang Immortal Venerable, whose cultivation level was a level lower than its own, it did not confront him directly.

From the start of the battle, Yingzhao used his Spatial Divine Ability to summon a group of Demon Race Great Demon from an unknown location, along with thirteen demon Demon Venerable at the Immortal Venerable level, to besiege Yang Immortal Venerable and Immortal Imperial Army.

Fortunately, although these thirteen Immortal Venerable level Demon Venerable were numerous, none of them possessed cultivation levels exceeding the Four Paths of Reincarnation Realm. Facing them, the Yang Immortal Venerable at the Five Paths of Reincarnation Realm, while somewhat strained, was not entirely defeated.

The surrounding Demon Race and Great Demon were gradually killed or wounded by the well-organized and disciplined Immortal Imperial Army.

"A demon... is ultimately just a demon; it will never amount to anything!"

Seizing the opportunity, Yang Immortal Venerable roared, and Golden Thunder Demon-Subduing Pestle on the Vajra Pestle, transforming it into a lightning net that crisscrossed and tore the four Demon Venerable into pieces. He then hurled the Demon-Subduing Pestle, which pierced through the heads of two Demon Venerable in succession. After returning to his hand, he dodged an attack from another Demon Venerable and, with a backhand motion, plunged the Demon-Subduing Pestle into the back of the Demon Venerable's neck.

In an instant, half of the thirteen Demon Venerable were gone.

"Amazing! Amazing!"

Yingzhao, sitting on the Throne, laughed heartily.

"As expected of the most valiant and skilled Immortal Venerable under the Azure Emperor, however..."

It gently tapped the armrest of the Throne with its hoof, and suddenly another transparent Vortex appeared in the Void, followed by six more demon Demon Venerable at the Immortal Venerable level, which it threw into the battlefield.

"Yang Immortal Venerable, although I can't create a child as valiant and skilled in battle as you, I have plenty of next-tier replicas in stock."

Yingzhao leaned back comfortably in her chair.

Keep up the good work!

This can't go on...

Faced with the six newly appeared Demon Venerable, Yang Immortal Venerable temporarily retreated to recover his energy.

He didn't know whether Yingzhao was bluffing or telling the truth. If Yingzhao really had so many Immortal Venerable level Demon Venerable, then Yang Immortal Venerable and Immortal Imperial Army would definitely be worn down and killed here today.

We must create an opportunity, a chance for him to face Yingzhao alone.

"Immortal Imperial Army, heed my command!"

Yang Immortal Venerable proclaimed loudly, "Use Divine Thunder Shakes the Nine Provinces!"

Upon hearing the order, the Immortal Imperial Army, which was engaged in battle with a large number of Demon Race, retreated. Under the command of their Adjutant, they stepped on the Heavenly Stems, performed Mystic Method, and chanted divine Divine Incantation, using their three thousand men to create a Heavenly Cycle Star Chart.

The Immortal Power within them surged forth, forming a giant drum with Dragon Pattern in mid-air.

"Shock!"

"Yang Immortal Venerable's Adjutant shouted."

With the surge of Immortal Power, the giant drum roared, and a golden, blazing Thunder transformed into a giant hammer, crashing down heavily upon the twelve Demon Venerable.

With a deafening roar, a golden thundercloud exploded, instantly crushing the surrounding Demon Race into dust. Even the twelve Immortal Venerable level Demon Venerable were unable to withstand this immense power and were all forced back, flying backward.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Yang Immortal Venerable flexed his muscles and hurled the Demon-Subduing Pestle in his hand toward Yingzhao with all his might.

A golden light flashed by, but a protective shield rose up in front of Yingzhao. The Demon-Subduing Pestle struck it, producing a crisp sound.

With a flash, Yang Immortal Venerable transformed into a Golden Thunder and slammed his fist into the handle of the Demon-Subduing Pestle. His immense strength propelled the Demon-Subduing Pestle to shatter the barrier, carrying the immense power of the Five Paths Reincarnation, and pierced the forehead of Yingzhao's face.

However, at this point, his Demon-Subduing Pestle could no longer advance.

In an instant, a very complex expression appeared on Yang Immortal Venerable's face: doubt, shock, confusion, and a trace of fear.

Surprised?

A cold smile curled at the corner of Yingzhao's lips.

Do you think that I, a researcher, am completely incapable of fighting you head-on?

It raised its hoof and kicked hard, sending Yang Immortal Venerable flying backward, spitting blood as he crashed to the ground. The halo and the Six Paths of Reincarnation Phantom behind the Immortal Venerable's head shattered into pieces in an instant.

"Yes, I must say your intelligence work is quite good. Yingzhao is indeed a character with superhuman Divine Power but no combat ability."

Yingzhao slowly rose from the Throne, glancing down at the throne. "But unfortunately, your intelligence work is not perfect. You think you're dealing with Yingzhao, but I am not Yingzhao."

It raised its hooves, and Divine Power surged forth.

"Yingzhao died four hundred thousand years ago. Since then, one of my Three Souls has lived within its body."

"Wait a minute!"

Yang Immortal Venerable lay on the ground and raised his hand.

"Honorable Heavenly Gods, I surrender! I will now give you the item."

After saying this, he knelt on one knee and presented the charred, square object with both hands.

"Snort."

Yingzhao snatched the object, examined it for a moment, then sneered and used his Divine Power to casually toss the charred object aside.

The object struck a Demon Venerable squarely on the head, and then the charred object exploded instantly, unleashing endless Thunder that reduced it to ashes.

"Yang Immortal Venerable, you are not suited to lying at all."

Yingzhao patted the armrest of the Throne, and from within the spatial Vortex, a flying Demon Race respectfully placed another charred, square object in front of it.

"You think I can't find this thing just because you casually tossed it and the book into the Savage Lands Heavenly River? The Azure Emperor didn't tell you what's inside, did he?"

It tapped it gently with its hoof, and the charred object's outer shell immediately cracked, emitting a dazzling Radiant Light from within. This object was actually a Jade Imperial Seal carved from white Jade Imperial Seal, with nine lifelike dragons coiled on it, their heads facing nine different directions.

"It's been a long time."

Looking at the Jade Imperial Seal, a look of nostalgia appeared on Yingzhao's face.

"It has been... more than 300,000 years."

Yang Immortal Venerable stood up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked solemn.

"Who... who are you?"

Upon hearing this, Yingzhao raised his head and arrogantly replied, "You may address me as... Eastern Emperor Taiyi!"
