If I let you lie low and remain the Dragon King, would you have unified the primordial world?

Chapter 154 The Demon Race Enters the Northern Sea, the Calamity of the Kunpeng

Now that Ao Bai has returned to Yuanzhou Immortal Island, the western earth veins have not stopped developing. The earth veins he repaired are slowly growing stronger along with the primordial world, generating more spiritual energy to nourish the heavens and earth.

This led to the gradual prosperity of the western lands, slowly shaking off their former barrenness.

Although the West is still not as prosperous as the East, it is no longer a barren land. Countless creatures have been born there, completely changing the situation of the Western land.

Throughout this process, Ao Bai consistently accumulated merit.

It was he who repaired the western ley lines, which changed everything and gave birth to life. Therefore, the merit energy would continuously reward him, something Ao Bai had not expected.

"Such abundant merit energy is perfect for nurturing the sacred embryo of merit."

Ao Bai had always wanted to elevate his Merit Saint Embryo to the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal, or even a Primordial Grand Luo Immortal.

If Ao Bai can achieve this, he will no longer need to worry about being targeted by the Heavenly Dao.

The thought of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan Realm filled Ao Bai with excitement.

However, the amount of merit required to reach that point is unimaginable.

"Nuwa created humans and became a saint, and the Three Pure Ones established their religions and became saints. If I repair the Western Earth Veins, the merit I will receive in the future will definitely be more than theirs. This is changing the destiny of the entire prehistoric world, and the merit will surely be immeasurable."

In Ao Bai's view, if he really repaired all the earth veins, it was not impossible for him to elevate the Holy Embryo of Merit to the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal.

The prerequisite is that the gourd vine must also be upgraded, so that there is a chance to repair the damaged ley lines in the core area of ​​the west.

The earth's veins there have been completely destroyed, leaving no fragments whatsoever. Restoring that place would be a hundred times more difficult.

"Your Highness, Kunpeng has come to the Southern Sea recently."

The Nine Heavens Immortal Spider Queen said that she had been in the South China Sea all these years. On that day, the Kunpeng soared for hundreds of millions of miles, breaking through the clouds and the moon, and descended into the South Sea.

Although the Southern Sea is not the territory of their Yuanzhou Immortal Island lineage, they cannot tolerate others snoring beside their bed, which makes the Yuanzhou Immortal Island lineage take this very seriously.

The arrival of Kunpeng in the Southern Sea is not unusual, as it had a habit of dwelling there before. Later generations even had the saying: "The great roc rises with the wind in a single day, soaring straight up ninety thousand miles."

The reason Kunpeng left the North Sea was to come to the South Sea.

Therefore, no one dares to say who the ownership of Nanming truly belongs to.

"Kunpeng knows we're in the South China Sea, yet he still comes to the Southern Ocean. Is there some secret behind this?"

Ao Bai guessed.

The Kunpeng Ancestor has kept a very low profile over the years, living a secluded life in the Northern Sea and rarely interacting with the outside world.

The power of the Northern Sea has developed quite well. The fact that the Kunpeng Ancestor came to the Southern Sea for no reason is obviously going to provoke the Yuanzhou Immortal Island lineage.

Such an unwise approach is clearly not in line with Kunpeng's style of doing things.

"Kunpeng's arrival must have some reason; let's go and find out."

Ao Bai smiled, summoned the whale fall, and rode it with the Nine Heavens Immortal Spider Queen towards the Southern Sea.

On Yuanzhou Immortal Island, Fairy Wangshu had already sensed Ao Bai's return. When she saw Ao Bai leave with the Nine Heavens Immortal Spider Queen, a hint of doubt rose in her eyes.

"Your Highness just returned and is leaving again? Is there something wrong?"

After Fairy Wangshu joined the Yuanzhou Immortal Island lineage, she always wanted to serve Ao Bai and demonstrate her value. Unfortunately, Yuanzhou Immortal Island was peaceful and calm all year round, so there was no opportunity for her to show her abilities. Fairy Wangshu could only wait silently.

Ao Bai and the Nine Heavens Immortal Spider Queen rode a whale fall to travel the sea. They entered the Southern Sea and traveled along the way, looking like they were enjoying the scenery.

At this moment, the Kunpeng Ancestor was on an island in the Southern Ocean. When he saw Ao Bai arrive, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Has Ao Bai come in person to test me?"

Kunpeng Ancestor looked at Ao Bai outside, but ultimately made no comment.

"Damn it, this is a show of force against me, letting me know that they are the true masters of Nanming. They're so arrogant."

The Kunpeng Ancestor was indignant, but when he saw that Ao Bai's mount was a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he immediately lost his temper.

Kunpeng's arrival in the Southern Sea was not due to some fortuitous encounter, but rather because he was being forced by the demon race and was seeking a way out.

Previously, Emperor Jun of the Demon Emperor sent an envoy to Beiming, whose first words were to persuade Beiming to join the Demon Clan.

Knowing that there are hundreds of billions of living beings in the Northern Sea, and Kunpeng is a supreme being, how could he easily agree?

Moreover, this time it wasn't the Demon Emperor himself who came to recruit them, but only a Demon General.

Enraged, Kunpeng killed the demon general, leaving only a minor demon to return and report the news.

Now that he had no way out, he had no choice but to go out and search, but unfortunately Ao Bai did not like him and gave him a hard time as soon as he arrived.

Seeing this, Kunpeng knew that Nanming would not tolerate him, so he quietly left.

"Ao Bai, you just wait!"

Kunpeng was unwilling to offend Ao Bai's side any further, so he could only suppress his anger for the time being.

Bei Ming was already strong enough to deal with one demon, but if he were to deal with Ao Bai, he would truly be powerless.

In recent years, Beiming has developed rapidly, with many Great Luo Golden Immortals among its members. However, the demon race has grown even faster, and Kunpeng faces great pressure in its attempt to contend with them.

The Kunpeng Ancestor quietly left, but Ao Bai was unaware of it. They searched the South Sea but could not find any trace of him.

"This Kunpeng must have already left."

Ao Bai said that they had searched all over the Southern Sea and confirmed that the other party's aura was no longer there.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Spider Queen nodded and said:

"Kunpeng has indeed left, so what was his purpose in coming here?"

The Kunpeng Ancestor couldn't have come without a reason. Since the other party has already left, either he has achieved his goal or he has other intentions.

Ao Bai didn't care. As long as Kunpeng left, that was enough. This Southern Underworld was absolutely not to be occupied by outside forces.

Not long after Kunpeng returned to the Northern Sea, the demon army set off, marching in a mighty force towards the Northern Sea.

"Kunpeng is ungrateful. Once our demon army arrives, we will surely annihilate him."

Donghuang Taiyi spoke proudly, saying that after years of development and growth, the demon race had begun to show signs of becoming the number one race.

In terms of total numbers, the demon race has successfully surpassed the witch race.

As for their combat effectiveness, it has also been greatly improved.

This time, Emperor Jun of the Demon Emperor originally intended to subdue the Kunpeng Ancestor, but the other party killed the envoy he sent, which made Emperor Jun of the Demon Emperor furious.

"If Kunpeng refuses to join my demon race, then we can only extract his true spirit and place it in the Demon-Summoning Banner. Let's see how he can resist then!"

Emperor Jun's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. If their demon race wanted to continue expanding, they needed to subdue powerful figures from all walks of life.

Now that the smaller clans have been divided up, only the major powers remain, each ruling their own territory. If the demon race takes over Beiming, their strength will increase significantly once again.

"Brother, Kunpeng is incredibly cunning. This time we must take him down with lightning speed. Otherwise, if the Witch Clan seizes the opportunity, they might launch another sneak attack on the Heavenly Court."

Donghuang Taiyi said that this time, he and his brother went on an expedition, while Nuwa and Fuxi guarded the Heavenly Court in order to defend against the Wu tribe.

The demon army arrived in a mighty force. Kunpeng in the Northern Sea had already received the news and was on high alert, waiting for the demons to arrive.

The Kunpeng Ancestor looked up at the sky, where countless demons were like dark clouds covering the sky, and gleaming swords and spears shone in all directions.

Kunpeng guessed that the demon race would attack him, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Emperor Junming, the Demon Emperor, knew that Kunpeng would never submit to him, so he deliberately sent a demon general to recruit him. However, Kunpeng killed the general, which gave the demon race an excuse to send troops.

"You audacious Kunpeng, you're about to die and you still don't realize it! You killed my demon general, why don't you come and face your death!"

Donghuang Taiyi spoke arrogantly. He held a supreme innate treasure in his hand, so he naturally didn't take the Kunpeng Ancestor seriously.

Kunpeng's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice:

"Taiyi, you have traveled thousands of miles to invade my Northern Sea, today I will make sure you never return."

Kunpeng has occupied the Northern Sea for many years, and the creatures under his command have a strong sense of belonging. At this moment, under the leadership of the Kunpeng Ancestor, everyone roared and howled, and a great formation was activated.

Kunpeng Ancestor knew he was no match for the demon race, yet he still fought against them here; he was clearly not waiting to die.

"Hahaha, I'll see what you're going to use to ensure we never return! My men, deploy the 'Great Celestial Array'!"

With a shout, the Demon Emperor Jun instantly formed the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array," drawing in the light of countless stars that descended from the Nine Heavens Galaxy to assist the demon race in operating the array.

This primordial divine array is incredibly powerful. Once activated, it can alter the celestial phenomena, its magnificent divine might illuminating all directions, causing enemies to tremble in fear without a fight.

"roar!"

The Beiminghai forces roared in fury as they activated their great formation and clashed with the demon race.

A terrifying clash of divine powers caused the North Sea to collapse and the earth to split, resulting in widespread devastation and death.

Although the Kunpeng were not weak, their formation was far inferior to the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Formation". In this clash, the formation of the Northern Underworld Sea was instantly repelled.

They barely managed to maintain the formation, but countless creatures that had set it up perished.

Blood stained the Northern Sea in an instant, and corpses floated on the icy river, looking utterly miserable.

"My men, follow me and kill!"

The Kunpeng Ancestor was filled with rage. He believed he had never provoked the demon race, but now he was being besieged by the demon army. How could he not be furious?

In this primordial world, if you lack strength, you have no right to choose.

The conquests and slaughter of the strong can only be endured in silence.

"Kunpeng, surrender now, and you can spare the lives of billions of people in the Northern Underworld!"

The Demon Emperor Jun, high above all others, sought to undermine the fighting spirit of the creatures of the Northern Sea.

The eyes of the Kunpeng Ancestor were blood red. From the very beginning, the demon race's plan was to subdue Beiming, not to exterminate him.

"Di Jun, the men of Bei Ming are not cowards who fear death. Today you have killed countless of my men; how can we let this go!"

The Kunpeng Ancestor roared repeatedly. Emperor Jun's words were like a knife to the heart, and how could the Kunpeng bear it?

Seeing that Kunpeng was unwilling to bow his head, the demon race's "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Da Zhen" started operating again.

On Yuanzhou Immortal Island, Ao Bai secretly observed everything. Only now did he understand the purpose of Kunpeng's visit to Nanming.

"This time, Kunpeng is doomed."

Looking at the scene before him, Ao Bai couldn't help but sigh.

If he had proactively sought an alliance with Kunpeng back then, things might have turned out very differently.

However, it was too late to say anything now. Just as Ao Bai was paying attention, a large army secretly attacked.

"Fellow Daoist Di Jun, please wait. I have an alliance with Fellow Daoist Kunpeng. Please withdraw from Beiming."

The visitor was none other than the Lord of Zifu Continent in the East Sea, the Eastern King Duke.

The Eastern King Duke led the lineage of Zifu Continent. They had obviously arrived nearby long ago, but had been hiding in the shadows until now, when they finally appeared to stop the demon race.

Donghuang Taiyi frowned slightly and said:

"Dong Wang Gong, this matter has nothing to do with you. If you don't know when to back down, my demon race won't hesitate to wipe you out as well!"

Faced with Donghuang Taiyi's rudeness, Dongwanggong smiled faintly and didn't care at all.

"My two fellow Daoists may not know this yet, but the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan have already reached the Heavenly Court. If you do not return soon, can Fuxi and Nuwa stop the Twelve Ancestral Witches?"

Dong Wanggong's words made the demon emperor Jun hesitate.

The demon race could only hold off the witch race by combining the strength of the entire race. If they relied on Nuwa and Fuxi, even with the help of a large army and the protection of the Heavenly Court's formation, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand the witch race for long.

This time, the Eastern King and his entourage attacked from two sides, putting the demon race in a dilemma.

However, compared to the Heavenly Court, capturing Kunpeng is obviously secondary.

At this time, the Eastern King Duke set up the "Ten Thousand Immortals Formation," a formation of immense power, making it impossible to defeat them quickly.

If the Eastern King Duke and the Kunpeng Ancestor join forces and hold back the demon army, then it will only be a matter of time before the Twelve Ancestral Witches invade the Heavenly Court.

"Brother, why don't we retreat for now? I want to see if Kunpeng and Dongwanggong can stay together all the time!"

Donghuang Taiyi secretly transmitted his voice, saying that he hated Dongwanggong to the bone, but he had no choice but to retreat.

If the Heavenly Court falls, they will become rootless duckweed, and their previous advantages will vanish.

Although Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, was unwilling, he also knew what was important and what was urgent.

"retreat!"

Without wasting words or uttering any threats, Di Jun led his army to retreat immediately and rush to support the Heavenly Court.

Even as the army withdrew, the fierce glint in the eyes of the Kunpeng Ancestor did not diminish in the slightest.

If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Eastern King Duke, the fate of the Kunpeng Ancestor would have been predictable.

"Thank you so much, fellow Daoist, for saving my life!"

Kunpeng stepped forward and sincerely thanked him.

The Eastern King laughed loudly:

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, you are too kind. If I hadn't come to help you, I'm afraid I would have been the next target of the demon race after they destroyed Beiming."

The Eastern King was a shrewd man. The demon race was ambitious, and their attack on Beiming was to subdue Kunpeng.

Once Kunpeng is captured, the demon race will begin to look for their next target, and Dongwanggong is clearly a good choice.

This simple truth is clear to both the Eastern King Duke and the Kunpeng.

The witch clan will not actively recruit them, but the demon clan will stop at nothing to do with it.

"Has the army of the Witch Clan really reached the Heavenly Court?"

The Kunpeng Ancestor looked up at the heavens. When he returned to the Northern Sea, he had personally visited the Eastern King Duke, hoping that the other party would lend a helping hand, but he had never been to the Witch Clan.

That is why Kunpeng asked this question.
