Kunpeng Arrives! The Great Battle Ends

"What a peculiar formation?"

"Eastern King Duke was actually hiding such a wondrous formation?"

Above the East Sea, hundreds of millions of immortals had transformed into a formation diagram, combining to form the Ten Thousand Immortals Great Formation. The sight made the eyes of the Primordial World's mighty figures light up.

Tens of millions of years ago, the Witch Race had used the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Devils Great Formation to summon the true form of 'Pangu,' while the Demon Race had used the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation to command the stars of the Primordial World.

After the two races had used their formations to display that astonishing combat power far beyond the Quasi-Sage realm,

many mighty figures in the Primordial World had turned their attention to the art of formations, which they had rarely paid attention to before.

Over the ensuing tens of millions of years, they had devised quite a few powerful formations.

But compared with the Witch Race using Pangu's Essence Blood as a catalyst to summon the power of 'Pangu,' and the Demon Race using the two supreme stars, the Sun and the Supreme Yin, as anchors to connect to the power of the stars,

the formations they had devised fell far short of the power they had hoped for.

They had never expected Eastern King Duke, who had always kept to his own corner of the world, to quietly produce a Ten Thousand Immortals Great Formation.

Though their discerning eyes could tell that the Ten Thousand Immortals Great Formation still fell well short of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation and the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Devils Great Formation,

it gave them an excellent idea.

They might not be able to find Pangu or the stars of the Primordial World to serve as a formation's foundation, but ordinary immortals...

Who couldn't nurture hundreds of millions or billions of them if they put their mind to it?

On Mount Kunlun, Tongtian possessed the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, the foremost killing formation in the Primordial World, and was naturally exceptionally skilled in formations.

At the sight of the profound and intricate formation diagram, Tongtian's eyes immediately lit up.

"The Ten Thousand Immortals Great Formation... what a powerful formation!" Tongtian praised.

"A petty path!" Beside him, Yuanshi shook his head. "Formations are a means of following the Dao of heaven and earth to borrow their power."

"Eastern King Duke used hundreds of millions of immortals to set up his formation and forcibly plunder Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. This still falls into the Lower Vehicle and strays onto a crooked path!"

"No, second brother, I believe formations can follow the Heavenly Dao and borrow the power of heaven and earth, but they can also be like this Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, using the power of people as their foundation to forcibly seize the power of heaven and earth," Tongtian said with a shake of his head and a smile.

Hearing Tongtian's rebuttal, Yuanshi frowned and looked at him. "Third brother, that idea of yours... has led you astray!"

"We cultivators should follow the Heavenly Dao and take the natural order of heaven and earth as our foundation."

"I..." Tongtian was about to argue when he heard Laozi cough lightly twice beside him.

"Second brother, third brother, cultivators each have their own beliefs. There is no right or wrong between them. You are both caught up in appearances," Laozi said calmly.

"Keep watching! The battle in the East Sea isn't over yet!"

"Yes!"

Yuanshi and Tongtian both answered.

Boom!

The Sun Goddess Xihe was like a goddess of war, wielding the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels as she clashed ceaselessly with Eastern King Duke within the vast formation diagram.

Pure solar divine power collided wildly with Eastern King Duke's vast Law Power from the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. The void shattered, and pitch-black spatial rifts spread across the sky.

Unlike the concentrated clash between Eastern King Duke and Xihe,

every eruption from the brilliant great sun sent hundreds of millions of dazzling beams of divine light shooting forth.

And within the Ten Thousand Immortals formation diagram that blotted out the sky and sun, countless immortals, supported by that vast Law Power, unleashed a hundred flowers of wondrous Dao arts and strange Divine Abilities.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The immense battlefield between the two sides stretched across hundreds of millions of miles.

One demon after another burned everything they had to ashes within the brilliant great sun, while immortal after immortal turned to ash under the sun's divine light.

Tragic!

Heroic!

Every clash between the two sides meant that vast numbers of demons and unaffiliated immortals fell on the spot.

Every immortal, god, and demon who fell in this battle should have had hundreds of thousands or millions of years to live, yet they fell here without a name in the midst of war.

This was war between immortals and gods.

It was far fiercer and far more brutal than battles between mortals.

The brilliant great sun formed by the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation crashed into the Ten Thousand Immortals formation diagram that blotted out the sky and sun.

Had it been the Demon Race's Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation at its peak,

never mind one Ten Thousand Immortals formation diagram-even two would never have been a match for it.

But now, everyone in the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation was wounded, including the two Quasi-Sages, Dijun and Taiyi.

Even with the support of the Sun Star's origin and the Supreme Yin Star's origin, not a single demon in the Demon Race's ranks had Law Power at its peak.

In this state, the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation was gradually suppressed by the Ten Thousand Immortals formation diagram formed by hundreds of millions of immortals and gods.

"Today is the day the Demon Race dies. Xihe, as the Sun Goddess, you should return to the starry sky of the Primordial World, return to your Sun Star, and be your supreme star goddess!"

Eastern King Duke fought fiercely, the dragon-headed cane in his hand displaying the full divine might of a top-tier Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure under the support of his vast Law Power.

Xihe, on the other hand, completely ignored Eastern King Duke's words.

Supported by equally vast solar divine power, the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels in her hands likewise erupted with terrifying divine might. A goddess was actually beating Eastern King Duke back.

"Damn it." Seeing no response from Xihe, Eastern King Duke cursed inwardly. After all, he had only severed one corpse.

Though he had the support of the Ten Thousand Immortals Great Formation, the gap between him and Xihe, who had severed two corpses, was still considerable.

Am I really going to give up such a good opportunity today? Eastern King Duke couldn't help roaring inwardly.

No, I can't. If Dijun and Taiyi escape today, the Demon Race will surely come for mad revenge.

When that happens, never mind contending for supremacy over the Primordial World-I might even perish and return to the void.

Today, I must make sure the Demon Race stays here for good! Eastern King Duke's gaze abruptly turned cold.

You forced me to do this.

In Eastern King Duke's sea of consciousness, he abruptly released his suppression of a faint wisp of black Qi that he had confined to a corner.

The wisp of black Qi, which had remained perfectly quiet under his suppression, immediately turned into a streak of light the moment it was released.

It flew straight to the center of his sea of consciousness and merged into Eastern King Duke's Primordial Spirit.

Eastern King Duke had taken form from a wisp of Innate Pure Yang Qi, but in that instant, his once pure Yang Primordial Spirit was pure no longer.

A trace of regret rose in Eastern King Duke's heart, but immediately afterward, an evil thought surged out of his Primordial Spirit and swiftly spread through his entire sea of consciousness.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

A wisp of black Qi flowed across Eastern King Duke's face. Then a black-robed Eastern King Duke leaped out from above his head and swiftly merged back into his body.

"This is..."

Xihe's expression changed at once. Having experienced it herself, she naturally knew what the scene before her meant.

He actually broke through at a time like this and severed his Evil Corpse! Xihe found it hard to believe.

An Evil Corpse wasn't something one could sever simply by getting angry.

Could the situation have stirred Eastern King Duke's heart to such a degree that he severed his Evil Corpse in one go?

"Hahaha! Power! Endless power is surging into me!" Feeling the explosive growth of his Law Power, Eastern King Duke laughed arrogantly.

"Since I advised you to leave and you wouldn't, stay here for good!" Eastern King Duke looked at Xihe, a flash of red light passing through his eyes.

With his Evil Corpse severed, Eastern King Duke's cultivation had advanced greatly. With a thought, he drew an endless stream of more vast Law Power from the Ten Thousand Immortals Great Formation.

The fighting resumed.

Both were now Two-Corpse-Severing Quasi-Sages. Though a gap still remained between them, Xihe was also suffering from considerable injuries.

This time, Eastern King Duke turned the tables and suppressed Xihe.

The hundreds of millions of immortals in the Ten Thousand Immortals Great Formation had suppressed the Demon Race's Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, and Eastern King Duke had suppressed Xihe in turn.

The state of the battle was clear.

Before long, the victor would likely be decided.

And just then...

A colossal Peng bird came speeding in from the distant horizon. So enormous was the Peng that, even from hundreds of millions of miles away, it seemed to blot out the sky and sun.

"Kunpeng!?"

Eastern King Duke's expression changed drastically as he fought Xihe. Who else could the Peng bird speeding toward them from afar be but Kunpeng?

How could he be so fast? Panic immediately seized Eastern King Duke, and at the same time, a profound unwillingness surged in his heart.

The deadlocked battle had finally tilted in his favor. If the Demon Race gained another Quasi-Sage now,

the battle would likely fall into a stalemate again.

And what was more...

Eastern King Duke looked at the hundreds of millions of demons carried on Kunpeng's enormous back. If such a large fresh force joined the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation...

It would no longer be a matter of a stalemate. The scales of victory would tip completely in the Demon Race's favor.

Damn it! Why couldn't that damned Kunpeng have come a little later? He was all the way out in a remote place like the North Sea, so how did he get here so quickly?

Eastern King Duke roared madly in his heart, thinking of the wisp of Devil Qi he had just merged into his Primordial Spirit in order to win.

Even coming a little earlier would have been fine!

If Eastern King Duke could spot Kunpeng in the distance, Xihe naturally could too. Even the Demon Race and the hundreds of millions of unaffiliated immortals had noticed Kunpeng's figure by now.

But the two sides felt entirely differently upon seeing him.

"Reinforcements! They're reinforcements!"

"It's Demon Master Kunpeng! Demon Master Kunpeng has brought reinforcements!"

Countless demons in the Demon Race's Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation immediately erupted into cheers and shouts.

In the Ten Thousand Immortals formation diagram on the other side, however, the expressions of the hundreds of millions of unaffiliated immortals changed drastically as they stared in panic at the enormous Peng bird in the distance.

Eastern King Duke clenched his teeth, and his deeply unwilling voice reached the ears of the hundreds of millions of immortals.

"Retreat!"

The instant his voice fell, every immortal in the Ten Thousand Immortals formation diagram, as if by agreement, used every manner of escape Law Technique and Divine Ability.

With the aid of the Ten Thousand Immortals formation diagram, their speed left the nearby demons, who had still been preparing to attack, dumbfounded.

They were not the only ones. Even the mighty figures watching from all over the Primordial World were dumbfounded.

After watching for so long, they had finally discovered what made the Ten Thousand Immortals formation diagram superior to the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation.

That mobility... never mind this incomplete Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, even the formation at full strength probably couldn't catch up!

"I came too late to protect Your Majesty. Please forgive me, Heavenly Emperor!"

The enormous Peng bird circled once in the sky, then took human form directly before the brilliant great sun and spoke in a deep voice.

"No, Demon Master, you were not too late!"

Dijun stepped out of the brilliant great sun, a smile appearing on his pale face.

"Demon Master, you came from the North Sea and arrived so quickly. What crime is there to forgive?" Taiyi followed close behind, a smile also appearing on his pale face.

After Dijun and Taiyi emerged, the great sun slowly dispersed, turning into hundreds of demon gods and hundreds of millions of demons.

Looking at Kunpeng and the vast, densely packed demon army behind him, they all broke into smiles of relief.

"Thank you for arriving in time, Demon Master!"

Xihe also flew over from the distance and thanked Kunpeng.

"Xihe, are your injuries all right?" Dijun asked with concern.

"I'm fine. They're just minor injuries; my foundation wasn't damaged. I'll be back to normal after recuperating on the Sun for ten thousand years," Xihe said, shaking her head.

"Heavenly Emperor, rather than worrying about me, you should be more wary of Eastern King Duke." Xihe's expression grew more solemn.

"During the battle just now, Eastern King Duke severed his Evil Corpse. With the Ten Thousand Immortals Great Formation on top of that, he will surely be a grave threat to our Demon Race."

"Mm." Dijun nodded. Thinking of what had happened this time, he too felt boundless fury toward Eastern King Duke.

His hatred for Eastern King Duke had even surpassed his hatred for Ao Changsheng.

"Is the fighting over already?"

In his cultivation grounds, Ao Changsheng watched Eastern King Duke and his group flee. He put down the spirit fruit in his hand, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Honestly, fighting himself and watching others fight were completely different experiences. He had quite enjoyed watching this great battle, for instance.

Ignoring the attacks that were weak by his standards and the Law Techniques and Divine Abilities riddled with flaws, just speaking of the visuals alone,

the splendor of each Law Technique and Divine Ability, the numbers that so easily reached hundreds of millions, and the grand scale of the battlefield were far better than any special-effects blockbuster from his previous life.

"How did I never notice before? I missed so many battles between the Witch Race and the Demon Race. What a shame!" Ao Changsheng clicked his tongue, his face full of regret.

Of course, aside from enjoying the spectacle, Ao Changsheng hadn't overlooked the various details on the battlefield.

Such as Eastern King Duke's little tricks.

"Devil Qi... Devil Ancestor Luohou?"

Ao Changsheng couldn't help recalling that when he had first transmigrated, it had been right at the conclusion of the struggle between Luohou and Hongjun.

He had only just come into the world then, while Luohou had already been among the strongest mighty figures under the Heavenly Dao. With just a minor scheme, a single shout that drew out his heart devil had nearly killed him on the spot.

But now...

If Luohou could be dropped in front of him, Ao Changsheng could even hold him down by the head and beat him until he cried.

"Perhaps... it's time to give Luohou some trouble!" Ao Changsheng rubbed his chin and began to ponder.
