After Styx took the God Slaying Spear and refined it until he could barely control it, he gave Wu Mo the coordinates of this place.
Compared to himself, Wu Mo could make better use of this place.
Styx then shattered a section of space with Destruction Power and left.
The Primordial Wilderness was about to enter a period of frequent major events, and he did not want to miss them.
Sure enough, as soon as Styx left the Demon Country, a deafening boom rang out over the East Sea.
He immediately understood. Di Jun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and the others must have led troops to attack the Immortal Court.
The Demon Clan had been greatly weakened by the previous war between the Witch and Demon Clans and urgently needed to replenish its strength.
So they set their sights on the Immortal Court. Most of its members were demons. As long as they destroyed Eastern Duke, the Immortal Court would be leaderless, and they could naturally recruit the rest.
Styx returned to the Blood Sea and used a Water Light Mirror to reveal the current situation on Penglai Island in the East Sea.
The island-protecting Ten Thousand Immortals Formation on Penglai Island was on the verge of collapse beneath the repeated strikes of Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Eastern Emperor Bell.
Eastern Duke shouted angrily, "Taiyi, you demons dare show such disrespect to I, the Immortal Chief. Aren't you afraid the Sage will punish your Demon Clan?"
Before Taiyi could speak, Fei Lian behind him spoke first. "Eastern Duke, don't get this wrong. We came here because we don't like you. It has nothing to do with the Demon Clan!"
Fei Lian's words clearly drew a line between them and the Demon Clan.
That way, if Hongjun truly punished them over Eastern Duke, they could claim it was the personal action of Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Fei Lian, and the others, unrelated to the Demon Clan, thus preserving it.
They had not even brought many people, only a small portion of the demon followers the Demon Clan had recently recruited.
Eastern Duke's face darkened. Ever since becoming the Leader of Male Immortals, nothing had gone smoothly for him.
Not only were the Witch and Demon Clans pressing down on him and preventing him from displaying his abilities, but when he had previously obeyed Hongjun's order to kill Styx, his Dragon Head Crutch had been stolen and his Good Corpse destroyed.
He had only just returned to Penglai Island and had not even had time to recover from his injuries before someone reported that the Demon Clan was attacking.
"Immortals, join I, the Immortal Chief in reinforcing the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation!"
At a time like this, he absolutely could not show weakness, much less let Eastern Emperor Taiyi know that he was still injured.
But the people on Penglai Island hesitated.
To be honest, Eastern Duke had ambition, but his abilities truly were lacking.
Most of the people in the Immortal Court had come for the title of Leader of Male Immortals and the spiritual energy of Penglai Island.
And most of the time, Eastern Duke only cared about flaunting the authority of the Leader of Male Immortals. The Immortal Court was far from united.
More importantly, they truly feared the Eastern Emperor Bell in Eastern Emperor Taiyi's hand!
Other than Eastern Duke, the strongest people in the entire Immortal Court were merely Great Luo Golden Immortals.
If Eastern Emperor Taiyi, a Quasi-Sage, used the Eastern Emperor Bell, wouldn't whoever it struck simply die?
Everyone cherished their life.
The cultivators on Penglai Island were no different.
Not a single person stepped forward to help Eastern Duke, showing just how badly he had failed as the Leader of Male Immortals.
Seeing this, Eastern Duke said directly, "Do you think you'll have a good ending if Penglai Island falls? They even dare attack I, the Immortal Chief, personally appointed by the Sage. If you fall into Eastern Emperor Taiyi's hands, you'll still have only one fate: death!"
The other cultivators looked at one another. A few wavered and decided to step forward and follow Eastern Duke.
But more people remained hesitant, or rather, they were waiting for Eastern Emperor Taiyi to state his position.
Sure enough, Eastern Emperor Taiyi spoke the next moment.
"Everyone except Eastern Duke may live, as long as you swear to submit to my Demon Clan!"
They had come to Penglai Island to absorb the Immortal Court's strength and replenish the Demon Clan, so naturally there was no need to kill everyone.
At these words, the people on Penglai Island erupted into an uproar.
To them, joining the Demon Clan or the Immortal Court made little difference. Serving one side was the same as serving the other.
Besides, the Demon Clan's influence in the Primordial Wilderness was constantly expanding. Their future prospects would be far better in the Demon Clan than in the Immortal Court.
Thus, a Great Luo Golden Immortal immediately shouted, "I surrender!"
Eastern Duke's eyes nearly split with rage. Not only had this Great Luo Golden Immortal surrendered, he had even attacked the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation from within Penglai Island.
Eastern Duke immediately attacked him. Eastern Emperor Taiyi seized the opportunity and struck the formation with even greater force.
Ignoring Eastern Duke's pursuit, the Great Luo Golden Immortal continued shouting, "Brothers, Eastern Duke has always looked down on everyone. Are you really going to keep following him? We risk our lives for him, but what about him? He refuses to grant us even a single Innate Spiritual Treasure to sever our corpses! Yet the Demon Emperors of the Demon Clan all do their utmost to help the Demon Gods sever their corpses. Do I really need to explain which is better?"
Upon hearing this, the people on Penglai Island wavered even further.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's lips curled upward.
How could Eastern Duke fail to see that this Great Luo Golden Immortal was likely a spy the Demon Clan had planted beside him to turn his people against him?
But he could not concern himself with that now.
It was not that he did not want to reward his subordinates with spiritual treasures. The main issue was that he was truly poor himself.
He had only two spiritual treasures: the Dragon Head Crutch and the Pure Yang Purple Fire Sword.
One had been bestowed by Hongjun, while the other was his accompanying spiritual treasure.
Each was extraordinarily significant and could not be bestowed. Moreover, the Dragon Head Crutch had already been snatched away by Styx.
Although Eastern Duke understood this, the others did not.
In their eyes, Eastern Duke truly was rather stingy.
At a time like this, wavering hearts were the deadliest thing. Eastern Duke struck ruthlessly, intending to kill the Great Luo Golden Immortal outright.
"Since you dared betray me, then die!"
Even though his cultivation had been damaged, he was still a genuine Quasi-Sage, not someone a Great Luo Golden Immortal could resist.
But just as he raised the Pure Yang Purple Fire Sword and was about to strike his opponent, a huge golden bell suddenly appeared. Golden light burst forth, stopping Eastern Duke in his tracks!
Eastern Duke's hand was injured by the bell's recoil, and the Pure Yang Purple Fire Sword fell to the ground.
It was Eastern Emperor Taiyi!
And Eastern Duke's final reliance, the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, had already shattered beneath the Eastern Emperor Bell's relentless bombardment.
"Eastern Emperor Taiyi!"
Eastern Duke said bitterly, "Are you truly determined to wipe us out?"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi did not answer. Instead, he smashed the Eastern Emperor Bell toward Eastern Duke.
Eastern Duke naturally did not wish to die and hurriedly raised the Pure Yang Purple Fire Sword to block it.
But the instant he clashed with the Eastern Emperor Bell, Eastern Duke realized just how vast the gap between himself and Eastern Emperor Taiyi was!
"Your cultivation has broken through again!"
Eastern Duke was greatly shocked.
Eastern Duke had believed that both he and Eastern Emperor Taiyi were early-stage Quasi-Sages, so it would not be easy for Eastern Emperor Taiyi to defeat him.
But now, he could clearly sense that Eastern Emperor Taiyi's attack had already surpassed the early Quasi-Sage realm.
This time, he no longer had any intention of confronting him head-on and immediately turned to flee.
