The Primordial Era: Starting from Being Forced to Become an Apprentice of the Three Pure Ones

The next instant, he gasped in shock. The demon army had already laid an impenetrable barrier.

Only in one place, to the northwest, was the demonic aura slightly thinner, and there seemed to be gaps in the formation.

But this gap is too obvious, and it is almost certainly a deadly trap set by Di Jun.

However, he had no choice but to use that gap.

"Send the order! Gather all available forces and break through to the northwest!"

As soon as the Eastern King Duke gave the order, the entire Celestial Court rushed desperately in the northwest direction.

As the celestial cultivators made their desperate breakout, the surrounding demonic clouds began to shrink continuously.

The demon battle formation, hidden in the clouds, revealed its ferocious outline and charged towards the cultivators of Penglai Immortal Island and the Immortal Court.

In just one hour, the Purple Mansion Immortal Court, once hailed as a sacred place for immortals, was swallowed up by blood and smoke.

The white jade steps were soaked in filthy blood, the magnificent palaces collapsed in the aftershocks of the supernatural power, the spiritual spring turned into a pool of blood, and the immortal herbs turned to ashes.

At the very center of the battlefield, the Eastern King Duke stood with disheveled hair, his magnificent purple-gold imperial robe torn in several places.

His aura was weak, his face was ashen, and the pure yang immortal light around him was dim, clearly indicating that he was at his last gasp.

At this moment, he was firmly locked onto by several terrifying auras.

High in the heavens, the Demon Emperor Jun, dressed in a robe adorned with the sun, moon, and stars, held the Hetu Luoshu in his hand and looked down with his eyes lowered.

His younger brother, Donghuang Taiyi, had a Chaos Bell hanging from his head, and his body was engulfed in the blazing fire of the sun, his fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.

Further out, Ji Meng and his group of demon saints had completely surrounded this airspace.

"Dongwanggong, you should have foreseen this day. Why fight like a cornered beast? If you are willing to imprint your primordial spirit on the Demon-Summoning Banner and submit to me, I can grant you the title of Demon Saint. What do you say?"

This time, the Demon Court wants to completely eradicate the Immortal Court, paving the way for the Demon Court to rule the prehistoric world in the future.

However, the Eastern King Duke is a quasi-saint, and if he can be subdued, it will greatly benefit the development of the Demon Court.

Therefore, even a ruthless and ambitious figure like Di Jun couldn't help but want to recruit him.

However, since the Eastern King Duke is the embodiment of the ultimate Yang, how could he easily submit?

"Submit? Di Jun! I am the embodiment of the primordial Yang essence, bestowed the title of Prime Minister of Male Immortals by the Dao Ancestor! You are but a mere transformed beast with a feather, yet you dare to make me kneel? Today's defeat is not a fault of war, but the will of Heaven! Hahaha..."

"Just you wait! Today you bully me with your power, but when the cycle of karma turns, your fate will be a thousand times more miserable than mine! This mighty demon court will ultimately be reduced to ashes along with you!"

Just as the curse of the Eastern King had fallen, and its echoes were still reverberating in the blood mist,

Bai Ze's figure quietly appeared beside Di Jun.

His expression was slightly solemn. He whispered a few words into someone's ear, his voice muffled and isolated.

After hearing this, Di Jun's expression remained unchanged, but when he looked down at the proudly standing Dong Wang Gong below, a hint of regret appeared in his eyes.

"Dongwanggong, your Daoist partner does indeed possess some extraordinary skills, managing to find a sliver of hope amidst the heavy encirclement and escape far away."

Upon hearing this, not only did Dong Wanggong pause almost imperceptibly, but Donghuang Taiyi, who was standing to the side, also frowned.

His body blazed with a slight surge of solar true fire as he turned to Di Jun and asked in a deep voice:

"Brother, should we send men to pursue her? She is highly skilled and harbors resentment towards us. If we let her escape, she may become a major threat and cause endless trouble."

In Taiyi's view, the person who managed to escape from the encirclement of multiple demon saints and the seemingly inescapable net was definitely extraordinary.

Allowing such a powerful figure who has a grudge against the Demon Court to wander outside is tantamount to planting a time bomb for the Demon Court.

"It's alright. The Queen Mother of the West joined the Celestial Court under duress from the King of the East, so she won't be an enemy of our Demon Court. Besides, the Kunlun Mirror controls the power of space and time, so forcibly pursuing her would only be a waste of energy."

Di Jun raised his arm and stopped Donghuang Taiyi from making a move.

As early as when Hongjun conferred titles upon the male and female immortals, he had already noticed the Queen Mother of the West's alienation and helplessness.

For her, the position of "female lead of the celestial court" may be a shackle.

Now that the shackles are gone, she will only seek a quiet place to cultivate herself and will almost never get involved in worldly strife again.

Below, upon hearing this, the Eastern King Duke let out a burst of mocking laughter.

"Hahaha! Di Jun! You're far too arrogant, still laughing and joking. Do you really think I'll just sit here and wait to die?"

Suddenly, the Eastern King Duke, along with the Pure Yang Sword and the Dragon Head Cane, transformed into three streaks of light and crashed towards Di Jun.

At the same time, the purest and most refined innate Yang essence within his body began to boil wildly.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

"He's about to self-destruct! Retreat!"

……

The surrounding demon saints cried out in alarm and issued warnings one after another.

Taiyi, who was closest to Dijun, reacted the fastest, shoving Donghuang Zhong forward to firmly block him and Dijun.

Di Jun reacted swiftly, unfurling the Hetu Luoshu in his hand, layer upon layer, surrounding the Donghuang Bell, protecting the two of them completely.

Rumble!!!

A terrifyingly loud explosion suddenly erupted.

The Eastern King Duke, along with the two innate spiritual treasures, exploded with a roar the moment they approached Emperor Jun and Taiyi.

The pure yang flames, mixed with destructive energy, transformed into a terrifying, blazing white sphere of light, tens of thousands of miles in diameter, which suddenly expanded.

Wherever the sphere of light passed, space shattered and the flow of time became distorted and disordered.

The lower half of Penglai Immortal Island was completely reduced to dust by the aftershocks.

A violent energy storm swept across all directions, eclipsing the world and dimming the sun and moon.

The brilliance of the Hetu Luoshu and the Eastern Emperor Bell suddenly dimmed, their spirituality damaged.

Di Jun and Tai Yi both trembled violently, coughing up blood, their magical power nearly exhausted.

The aftershocks of the explosion left an even more horrific scene.

The demons who were closest to the enemy and had no powerful protective treasures instantly turned into wisps of green smoke, their bodies and souls annihilated.

Slightly outside, the demon cultivators below the Golden Immortal realm also suffered heavy casualties.

Even the demon saints were shaken by the aftershocks of the self-destruction, causing their blood to churn and their mouths to spill demon blood.

Fei Lian, whose cultivation was slightly inferior and whose position was higher, was now barely breathing.

If Bai Ze hadn't used his innate divine power to stabilize his life force in time, he probably would have perished on the spot.

Perhaps it was the prophecy that Taibai had made earlier that stung the mind of the Eastern King Duke, causing him to completely abandon all hope.

That's why he risked everything by exposing himself.

If he weren't only at the early stage of Quasi-Saint level, he might have been able to drag one or two Demon Saints down with him.

Even so, the price paid by the Demon Court this time has been extremely heavy.

Of the elite army that Di Jun brought, only three-tenths remain.

The energy from the self-destruction instantly spread to the depths of the East China Sea, the Wuyi Mountains, and the Wu tribes.

Even Taibai in the Kunlun Mountains sensed a subtle energy fluctuation.

On the other hand, although the Queen Mother of the West also sensed the energy surge, she had no time to care.

In order to break through the encirclement, she had already withstood the attacks of several demon saints.

Despite being protected by the Kunlun Mirror, he was still injured.

Moreover, she also had to do her best to activate the Kunlun Mirror, using the power of time and space to disrupt the heavenly secrets and evade possible pursuers.

These two depletions caused her already dwindling magical power to drain away rapidly.

The flying figure began to sluggish and wobble, with a faint tendency to fall.

"Soon, after flying over East Kunlun, we'll reach West Kunlun."
