Purple Residence Calamity Erupts, the Fisherman Reaps the Benefits

Li Qingxiao did not rush to reveal himself.

Relying on his formidable divine sense at the late Daluo stage, combined with the World-Cleansing White Lotus's ultimate sensitivity to spiritual energy fluctuations,

he drifted silently through the skies above Zifu Continent like a ghost.

Before long, he had figured out the operational nodes of the Immortal Court's grand formation

and precisely located the spiritual vein forbidden ground deep within Zifu Continent.

That was where Dong Wang Gong had hidden the Immortal Court's endless reserves,

as well as the ancestral root of all the spiritual veins on Zifu Continent!

"Everything is ready. All that remains is the east wind."

Li Qingxiao concealed himself in the deepest reaches of the void, suppressing every trace of his aura as he quietly awaited the outbreak of the battle at the front.

His plan was exceedingly clear:

On the frontal battlefield, Taiyi's Chaos Bell would surely shatter Dong Wang Gong's defenses.

Meanwhile, he would infiltrate the rear amid the chaos and empty out the Immortal Court's endless reserves amassed over tens of millions of years, along with its three supreme-grade ancestral spirit veins!

As for that Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure personally bestowed by the Dao Ancestor, the Dragon-Headed Cane...

Dong Wang Gong carried it with him. The instant he was defeated and killed on the frontal battlefield

would be Li Qingxiao's best chance to snatch it away with thunderous speed!

As he waited in silence, several days passed.

"Dong—!!!"

A distant bell toll capable of collapsing the ages suddenly crashed down from above the Ninth Heaven,

striking Zifu Continent's island-protecting grand formation with savage force!

The once-clear skies above the Eastern Sea abruptly changed color in that instant,

turning into an endless sea of blood interwoven with gold and crimson!

Taiyi, clad in golden battle armor and holding the Chaos Bell in one hand, stepped from the void like an unrivaled demon god.

At his side, Di Jun held the River Chart and Luo Writing,

with boundless Solar True Fire capable of incinerating the heavens and boiling the seas surging around him.

Carrying the supreme pressure of an emperor, he descended with a thunderous roar.

Behind the two ancestral Golden Crows, the vast army of Myriad Races gathered by the Solar Palace blotted out the sky, their banners unfurled,

while their terrifying ferocious aura pressed the waters of the entire Eastern Sea into surging backward.

"Dong Wang Gong! Ignorant fool, daring to claim the title of leader of immortals! Get out here and accept your death!"

Taiyi's arrogant, domineering roar shattered the clouds filling the sky.

The great tide had arrived; a bloody battle was on the verge of eruption!

At that moment, Li Qingxiao, hidden within a pocket of space above the treasury, slowly opened his eyes.

Standing with his hands behind his back, he looked down at the panicked Immortal Court below, a smile of anticipation curling across his lips.

The one holding the pieces waited for the changing tides.

Above Zifu Continent, blood clouds pressed down from above, and killing intent shot into the heavens.

Facing the Solar Palace army at its gates, a roar filled with shock and fury suddenly exploded from the core divine hall of Zifu Continent.

"Insolence! Di Jun, Taiyi, how dare you rebel against Heaven and sow chaos?!"

Following that roar, a ray of Pure Yang Dao light soared into the sky, and Dong Wang Gong appeared above the firmament.

He wore a Purple-Gold Crown and a Nine Suns Daoist Robe, his features twisted with cold malice.

Facing the overwhelming Solar Palace army bearing down upon him,

Dong Wang Gong felt a trace of panic, but even more than that, fury at having been offended.

He was the male immortal leader personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor!

The heavens and earth of the Primordial World should rightfully fall under his command!

"I am the immortal leader personally chosen by the Dao Ancestor, wielding the authority of heaven and earth!"

"You two feathered beasts defy the mandate of Heaven and gather the Myriad Races to invade my Immortal Court! Today, I will make sure both your bodies and souls are annihilated!"

Dong Wang Gong slammed both hands downward, pouring the Innate Pure Yang Origin within his body wildly into the earth veins below.

"All immortals, heed my command! Take your positions! Raise the formation!"

At his command, all of Zifu Continent began to tremble violently.

Countless independent cultivators, great powers, and immortal officials affiliated with the Immortal Court wore fearful expressions,

but with no path of retreat, they could only grit their teeth and fly toward their respective formation nodes and bases.

In an instant, spiritual energy from the Eastern Sea's earth veins, stretching tens of thousands of zhang deep, was forcibly drawn out.

Ten thousand beams of Pure Yang immortal light rose from the ground like pillars supporting the heavens, intertwining into a vast golden curtain of light.

The Immortal Court's core trump card, the Purple Residence Pure Yang Myriad Immortals Grand Formation, roared into operation!

The mana of ten thousand immortals converged as one, and Pure Yang energy surged mightily,

forcibly driving back the demon fiend aura pressing down from the skies by tens of thousands of miles!

"Petty clown, and you dare bark before me?"

High above the Ninth Heaven, Taiyi looked down upon them, his gaze as indifferent as though he were looking at ants.

A cruel sneer formed at the corner of his mouth.

"The Dao Ancestor may have appointed you, but you are nothing more than a corpse in a tomb, a monkey wearing a crown."

"When I kill you, I will be carrying out Heaven's will!"

Before his words had faded, Taiyi raised the Chaos Bell with one hand, pouring his violent mana at the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm into it without reservation.

"Dong—!!!"

The supreme treasure trembled, and a primordial force like the birth of chaos swept forth!

A gray ring of sound waves, carrying destructive power capable of suppressing all heavens and worlds,

smashed into the edge of the Myriad Immortals Grand Formation as though heaven and earth were collapsing!

"Rumble—!"

Heaven and earth lost their color, and the void crumbled inch by inch!

The thousands of formation nodes around the formation's perimeter shattered the instant the bell waves swept through them,

bursting apart on the spot like fragile glass!

The tens of thousands of independent cultivator immortal soldiers guarding the outer perimeter did not even have time to scream

before their bodies and primordial spirits were directly shaken into a mist of blood by the bell waves!

"Th-this... what kind of monstrous might is this?!"

Inside the formation, countless immortal officials went pale, their legs turning weak.

Before they could recover from the terrifying pressure of the Chaos Bell, Di Jun moved.

With the River Chart and Luo Writing above his head, Di Jun wore a cold expression as his hands formed a supreme Yang incantation.

"Nine Suns Burn the Heavens, all living beings return to silence!"

The River Chart and Luo Writing blazed with divine light, directly connecting to the origin of the Solar Star above the Ninth Heaven!

An endless ocean of golden Solar True Fire poured down from the void,

transforming into tens of millions of violent Golden Crow fire dragons that crashed down and covered the heavens and earth!

Every strand of true fire contained the ultimate power to incinerate and break formations.

"Crack! Crack!"

Under the Chaos Bell's head-on assault and the successive burning of the extreme Solar True Fire,

the nodes of the Purple Residence Pure Yang Myriad Immortals Grand Formation began to collapse one after another.

"Pfft—!"

Dong Wang Gong's body shook as he spat out a mouthful of crimson origin blood, while the Pure Yang auspicious cloud above his head swayed violently.

The formation had been broken!

"The formation is broken! Run!"

"The Immortal Court is finished! This old Daoist will not accompany you to your death!"

The independent cultivators who had originally attached themselves to the Immortal Court for profit

scattered like frightened birds and beasts in the face of life and death. How could they still have any intention of defending the Dao?

"Kill them! Leave none alive!"

The vast army of birds and beasts under the Solar Palace, which had long been unable to restrain its ferocious nature, surged into Zifu Continent like a tide.

The slaughter began instantly!

Immortal islands and mountains collapsed, while the seawater was dyed a glaring scarlet.

Dong Wang Gong watched the foundation he had painstakingly built turn to ashes in an instant. After those fleeing independent cultivators died,

endless resentment and backlash from the Heavenly Dao transformed into rolling karmic flames that crazily coiled around him.

"Pfft!"

Karmic power burned his body and his Dao heart trembled violently. With his hair disheveled, Dong Wang Gong let out a desperate, shrill howl.

At this very moment, the attention of every great power in the Primordial World was drawn to this brutal massacre.

No one noticed that an incomparably concealed figure was silently slipping through the gaps in the void.

"Rumble..."

Outside the Immortal Court's forbidden ground, the once-impenetrable restrictions had already loosened under the impact of the collapsing formation.
