Attack the myths of the heavens and create the Taoist Tibetan wilderness!.

The cursed blood light entered the dragon's body, and Ao Lie's scales shattered instantly, with dragon blood scattering across the sky.

"Fellow Daoist Ao Lie!"

The Eastern King exclaimed in surprise as pure Yang energy flowed continuously into Ao Lie's body.

Ao Lielong's eyes were resolute.

"As protectors of the Celestial Court, we should be loyal to our duties."

He formed a hand seal with his dragon claws, forcibly refining the power of the curse with his own cultivation.

A cold snort echoed from the void, clearly indicating that the attacker, seeing that their first strike had failed, was no longer willing to pursue the matter.

The Eastern King Duke's expression was solemn.

"It seems that the establishment of the Celestial Court has already aroused the suspicion of some beings."

After Ao Lie refined the curse, his body shrank and his face turned pale.

"This curse originates from the West; it's likely the work of that Demon Ancestor."

"It doesn't matter."

The Eastern King Duke's gaze swept over the thousands of immortals and gods below.

"Since we have chosen this path, we have long anticipated that there will be resistance. The important thing is that the Celestial Court has been established today, and the general trend has been set."

His voice turned stern.

"Issue the order: the Celestial Court shall immediately begin patrolling the four seas. Anyone found causing trouble shall be killed without exception!"

Thousands of immortals and gods responded in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

The golden dragon of destiny roared once more, and the celestial court's oppressive power enveloped the surrounding land, heralding the beginning of a new era.

Deep within the void, a pair of cold eyes silently watched all of this, a strange smile playing on their lips.

"The fun has just begun..."

The golden light of merit, covering millions of acres, poured down like a celestial river, surging and washing away the karmic black energy on the golden dragon of fortune.

The originally ferocious and twisted black dragon phantom let out a mournful howl under the purification of the power of merit, and the black aura around it dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The golden dragon, its spirits soaring, roared through the heavens, and with the remaining power of its merits, rushed straight to the depths of the East Sea—the source of the dragon race's karma.

All living beings in the primordial world held their breath and watched as an even larger black dragon of karma rose from the bottom of the East Sea. Its body was formed from countless resentments and sins, its eyes were scarlet, and its ferocity was overwhelming.

The two giant dragons collided violently in the air, and the golden and black energy shockwaves swept across the four seas, causing the blood and qi of countless cultivators to surge.

"Although the power of merit is strong, the karma of the dragon race has accumulated over several eons, and it may be difficult to completely purify it."

A great being sighed in the void.

"Dong Wang Gong is far too arrogant."

Inside Mount Sumeru, Rahu let out a sneer.

"These people underestimate the power of merit."

He turned to Di Jun and said.

"Dong Wang Gong wanted to solve the problem with the least amount of merit, but he underestimated the stubbornness of karma."

The boy named Qinglian nodded.

"Karma is like a festering sore; it is difficult to eradicate unless it is forcibly cleansed by a massive amount of merit."

At this moment, the Golden Dragon of Fortune in the East China Sea was indeed gradually losing ground.

The karmic black dragon launched a frenzied counterattack, its black resentment coiling around and constantly eroding the golden dragon's body.

Ao Lie and the other dragons looked ashen-faced, and the hope that had just ignited in their eyes gradually faded away.

Seeing this, the Eastern King Duke no longer hesitated and spoke loudly.

"If we're going to cleanse, we should cleanse thoroughly!"

He formed a hand seal, and all the remaining merit power poured into the Golden Dragon of Fortune.

With a deafening roar, the golden dragon of fortune tripled in size, its eyes blazing with golden light, and every scale revealing profound runes of merit.

The dragon's might made all living beings breathless, and even the powerful beings hidden in the void paled in fear.

"This...this is the pressure of a Primordial Chaos level expert!"

An old monk cried out in surprise.

The karmic black dragon let out a terrified howl, trying to escape but was pinned down by the golden dragon's claw.

The golden light of merit shines like the scorching sun on snow, and the dark energy of karma quickly dissolves.

The black dragon struggled desperately and suddenly split into three, fleeing towards the West Sea, South Sea, and North Sea respectively—where the karma of other branches of the dragon race still remained.

"Want to go?"

The Eastern King Duke let out a cold shout.

The golden dragon of fortune opened its mouth and inhaled fiercely, forcibly pulling back the three black dragon phantoms.

As the golden dragon opened and closed its massive jaws, it crushed the black dragon of karma to pieces, and the golden light of merit completely purified the last bit of karma.

The East China Sea instantly cleared, and the resentment that had been pervasive vanished completely.

All the dragons felt a sense of lightness, and the karmic shackles that had plagued their race for countless years were finally broken.

Although the karma of the dragon clans of the four seas was reduced by only 40%, the dragon clan of the East Sea has already shed its reputation as a sinful clan.

The primordial world was silent, and all living beings were shocked by this method of defying fate.

The karma that countless powerful beings could not eliminate was purified by the Eastern King Duke in such a domineering way.

"What a waste of the merit accumulated over millions of acres..."

A monk muttered to himself.

"If one refines it oneself, one might be able to directly reach the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos."

The Eastern King's face was slightly pale, clearly indicating that he had exhausted himself, but his eyes were clear.

"Merit is easy to gain, but it is hard to maintain one's original aspiration. If it can bring about the rebirth of the dragon race today, it is worth it."

Ao Lie led all the dragons to kneel on the ground, their dragon roars choked with sobs.

"The Dragon Clan of the East Sea swears to be loyal to the Celestial Court to the death; heaven and earth bear witness to their loyalty!"

Just as the crowd was in high spirits, a sudden change occurred.

Where the purified karma was originally located, three strange runes suddenly appeared, emanating a chilling aura.

"This is……"

The Eastern King's pupils suddenly contracted.

"A curse is hidden within the core of karma!"

The three runes suddenly exploded, transforming into crimson lightning that struck directly at the Eastern King's brow.

This change happened so fast that even the Golden Dragon of Fortune had no time to react.

At the critical moment, a chaotic aura came from Mount Sumeru, arriving later but arriving first, blocking the way for the Eastern King Duke.

The crimson lightning disappeared into the chaotic energy, vanishing without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

Di Jun's voice echoed across the void.

"A clever trick. The curse was hidden in the core of karma. It would be impossible to detect without thoroughly purifying the karma."

Rahu's cold laughter followed.

"It seems to be the work of that person from back then; he's truly a persistent ghost."

The Eastern King was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. If those three curses had hit him, they would have instantly tainted his pure Yang Dao foundation.

He cupped his hands in the direction of Mount Sumeru.

"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Dijun."

In the void, many powerful beings also wore solemn expressions. The use of karma to conceal curses was unheard of; clearly, it was a contingency plan laid out by an unparalleled being countless eons ago.

On the Sun Star, Taiyi gripped the Chaos Golden Bell tightly, his eyes filled with apprehension.

"Even karma can be manipulated; it seems the waters of this great calamity are deeper than we imagined."

At this time, another unexpected change occurred in the East China Sea.

Where the purified karma was originally located, a pure and incomparable primordial power suddenly emerged—this is the gift after the transformation of karma.

Golden light shone down on all the dragons, and their cultivation levels began to surge.

Ao Lie let out a long roar, and the scales all over his body fell off and regenerated, turning into an even more dazzling gold.

The bottleneck that had plagued him for many years at the peak of the Great Luo realm was suddenly broken through, and his aura was approaching that of the Primordial Chaos realm.

Other dragons also broke through to new heights, and the roar of dragons shook the heavens above the East Sea.

The golden dragon of fortune circled joyfully, feeding back some of its primordial power to the Celestial Court, causing the overall fortune of the Celestial Court to rise by another 30%.

Upon seeing this, the Eastern King Duke burst into laughter.

“Excellent! Today I realize that Heaven’s way is truly impartial, and that breaking free from karma brings such a reward.”

However, his smile quickly froze. Suddenly, three cracks appeared in the void, and three ancient beings emerged from them.

They were shrouded in mist, with only their cold gazes piercing through the void and landing on the Eastern King.

"What is the punishment for arbitrarily activating karma?" The being in the center spoke slowly, his voice containing the pressure of the Great Dao.

The Eastern King felt as if he were carrying a mountain on his back, and he gritted his teeth and endured it.

"Karma is a manifestation of the Way of Heaven. Now that it has been purified, what sin is there?"

There was a cold snort on the right.

"Karma is the manifestation of cause and effect, how can you say it's clean? If you don't give us an explanation today, the Celestial Court will be destroyed immediately!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

All the cultivators sensed the terrifying strength of those three beings; they were probably all ancient monsters at the Primordial Chaos level.

At this critical moment, Di Jun's voice rang out again.

"Why do you three fellow Daoists make things difficult for this junior? The purification of karma is something that Heaven approves of; otherwise, where would merit come from?"

The three beings simultaneously turned toward Mount Sumeru, causing the mist to ripple slightly.

"So it was you, the Chaos Demon God, who was backing me up. What, are you going to interfere in the affairs of the primordial world?"

Rahu's laughter broke in.

"What arrogance! Those three old geezers are just hiding in the restricted area, barely clinging to life, and they dare to come out and put on airs?"

Qinglian Boy also said calmly.

“Once karma is purified, it is the will of Heaven. If the three of you insist on taking action, you might as well ask Heaven whether it will allow it first.”

The three beings remained silent for a moment, then suddenly attacked simultaneously.

A giant hand reached out to grab Dongwanggong, a divine thought shot towards Mount Sumeru, and the last one went straight for the Golden Dragon of Fortune.

Di Jun snorted coldly, and the Chaos Array was activated, directly crushing that divine thought.

Rahu's demonic energy surged, blocking the giant hand that was reaching for Dongwanggong.

The Azure Lotus Boy then offered up an azure lotus to protect the golden dragon of fortune.

The collision of the Primordial Chaos level shook the entire prehistoric world, and countless cultivators were sent flying backward, coughing up blood, by the aftershocks.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Eastern King Duke summoned the Pure Yang Mirror and proclaimed loudly.

"Now that the Celestial Court has been established, it must protect the peace of the primordial world. If the three of you insist on taking action, do not blame the Eastern King for being ruthless!"

The golden dragon of fortune echoed the heavens, and the fortune of the celestial court gathered into a pillar of light, blessing the Eastern King Duke.

His cultivation level instantly broke through the limit, and he temporarily possessed the combat power of the Primordial Chaos level.

Upon seeing this, the three beings caused the mist to fluctuate violently, eventually retreating slowly into the void rift.

"A great calamity is approaching; take care of yourself."

The final words echoed in the void.

The East Sea has temporarily returned to calm, but all the cultivators are still shaken.

The clash between the Primordial Chaos level experts was so intense that even the aftershocks were unbearable for them.

The Eastern King bowed deeply towards Mount Sumeru.

"Many thanks to the three fellow Daoists for their help today."

Di Jun's response was indifferent.

"No need to be so polite. Since we've formed an alliance, we should naturally look after each other. The fact that those three old monsters have appeared shows that the Great Tribulation is truly approaching."

Rahu chuckled.

"Interesting. Even these old fogies hiding in the restricted area can't sit still anymore. It seems this great calamity will be even more exciting than expected."

"It is the Azure Lotus Child who reminded me."

"Although the karma has been cleansed, the curse has manifested, indicating that there is still a hidden hand at work. Fellow Daoist Dongwanggong, you still need to be more careful."

The Eastern King nodded, his gaze sweeping over the thousands of immortals and gods below, and spoke in a loud voice.

"The Celestial Court has established its authority to protect the peace and tranquility of the primordial world. From this day forward, the Celestial Patrol Bureau shall be established to oversee the four seas."

Erect the Demon-Slaying Platform to annihilate evil spirits.

"Open the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion, and embrace all the myriad methods and traditions!"

Ao Lie was the first to respond.

"The Dragon Clan is willing to take on the duty of patrolling the heavens!"

Other Great Luo Golden Immortals volunteered, and the Celestial Court's institutions were quickly established. The golden dragon of fortune soared and circled joyfully, giving the Celestial Court a completely new look.

However, all the great powers knew that the undercurrents had only just begun to stir.

The curses within karma and the appearance of forbidden zones both foreshadow that this great calamity is extraordinary.

Deep within the void, a pair of eyes silently watched all of this, a strange smile curving at the corner of their lips.

"Purify karma? How naive... The real karma has only just begun to accumulate."

Above the East Sea, the roar of dragons shook the heavens, and the aura of countless dragon cultivators breaking through intertwined into a dazzling pillar of light, illuminating the entire sea area as if it were daytime.

Ao Lie's scales all turned pure gold, and the pressure of a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal swept in all directions. His dragon eyes were filled with excitement and gratitude.

"The Dragon Clan of the East Sea thanks the Immortal Lord for his life-saving grace!"

Ao Lie bowed first, followed by thousands of dragons kneeling in unison. The dragon race's fortune and the celestial court's fortune completely merged, and the golden dragon of fortune grew three times larger, its whiskers fluttering and creating ripples of laws.

The Eastern King Duke stood with his hands behind his back, his pure Yang Dao body resonating with the fortune of the Celestial Court, and laughed loudly.

"Now that we have entered the Celestial Court, we are one family. From this day forward, the Dragon Clan shall serve as protectors of the Celestial Court and work together to safeguard the peace of the primordial world!"

The divine senses of powerful beings from all corners of the primordial world intertwined, all deeply shocked by this sight. In a sacred mountain in the west, an old man stroked his beard and sighed deeply.

"By exchanging merit for loyalty, Dong Wanggong may seem to be at a disadvantage, but in reality he has gained a great deal."

High above, the Purple Cloud Palace trembled slightly. Dao Ancestor Hongjun's gaze pierced through the endless void and landed on the shore of the East Sea.

"Although changes have occurred, the overall trend remains unchanged."

The Jade Disc of Creation in his sleeve spun, and the aura of the Great Calamity grew stronger.

At the summit of Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi Tianzun withdrew his gaze and spoke calmly to the disciple standing beside him.

"I underestimated this Eastern King Duke before. His ability to resolve the dragon clan's karma with such courage is truly remarkable."

Within the Sun Star, Di Jun slammed his fist into the Fusang Divine Tree, causing the true fire of the sun to scatter.

"If I hadn't missed Zixiao Palace back then, I would be the one who established the Celestial Court and gained merit today!"

Taiyi pondered for a moment, his eyes gleaming.

“Brother, why be upset? If the Eastern King Duke can establish a Celestial Court, why can’t we establish a Demon Court? The Demon Clan has been oppressed by the Witch Clan for a long time and needs to unite its forces.”

Di Jun suddenly turned around.

"You mean..."

"Imitate the Celestial Court and establish the Demon Court to gather fortune and obtain the merits of Heaven."

Taiyi held up the Chaos Golden Bell in his palm.

"At that time, it is not impossible for them to catch up and surpass others."

A flame ignited in Di Jun's eyes.

"Good! Let's establish the Demon Court! Immediately send a message to Bai Ze, Ji Meng, and other powerful demons, and tell them to come to the Sun Star to discuss important matters."

The news caused great demons and powerful beings throughout the primordial world to be shaken.

At the bottom of the Northern Sea, the demon master Kunpeng transformed into the true form of the Great Roc, and with a flap of his wings, he could travel ninety thousand miles.

In the volcano of the Southern Wilderness, Bifang walks on fire.

In the far west, the Shang sheep, accompanied by wind and rain, hurried towards the Sun Star.

Within just a few days, over a hundred powerful demons had gathered on the Sun Star.

These demon saints, who usually ruled their respective regions, were all excited at this moment.

Bai Ze spoke first.

"Your Majesties should have done this long ago! The demon race is scattered throughout the prehistoric world, hunted and used as prey by the witch race. If they could unite and establish a court, the situation would surely change!"

Ji Meng's voice was like thunder.

"Exactly! Which of my demon clan's sons isn't struggling? If a demon court is established, Ji Meng is willing to be its vanguard!"

The demons echoed their sentiments, their emotions running high.

Upon seeing this, Di Jun felt reassured and immediately made the decision.

"In that case, the Demon Court shall be established in three days! Taiyi, you shall be in charge of setting up the Zhou Tian Star Array."

Bai Ze, you will oversee affairs related to all ethnic groups.

"Ji Meng, you are in charge of guarding the area and preventing the witch clan from causing trouble."

However, the news eventually leaked out. At the foot of Buzhou Mountain, in the ancestral land of the Wu tribe, the great shaman Kuafu hurriedly rushed into the Pangu Palace.

"Fellow Ancestral Witches, Emperor Jun and Taiyi intend to establish the Demon Court, and the demon race is currently gathering on the Sun Star!"

The twelve Ancestral Witches suddenly opened their eyes, and a murderous aura surged within the hall. (End of Chapter)
