Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start

Chapter 56 The Fall of the Eastern King in Zifu Continent

The black outer shell gradually began to crack, and then a tender bud slowly emerged from it.

Emerald green, fresh, and very delicate, the green leaves are covered with dense veins.

A profound sense of the Great Dao wafted over, greatly surprising Zhao Gongming. The World Tree seed truly lived up to its reputation as a Chaos Spiritual Root.

It is far more powerful than the Renshui Peach Tree and the Enlightenment Tea Tree in his hands.

With merit being continuously and steadily injected into it, the branches and leaves also entered an incredibly rapid growth phase.

Soon, the World Tree seed was completely consumed and grew to a height of about 300 meters, or about 100 zhang.

An indescribable, profound Daoist essence slowly spread out.

Besides supporting the world, the seeds of the World Tree also help people attain enlightenment.

Unfortunately, enlightenment is a specialized skill; once Zhao Gongming had the Enlightenment Tea Tree, he no longer needed the World Tree.

Of course, even a saint would be tempted by such a chaotic level of spiritual root.

Zhao Gongming dared not keep it on his person, so he had to temporarily store it in the system space.

After placing the World Tree seeds, Zhao Gongming remembered the Purple Mansion Continent and the Eastern King Duke mentioned by the system earlier.

As far as he knew, after the fall of the Eastern King, a wisp of pure yang energy floated between heaven and earth.

Later, under the manipulation of the Dao Ancestor, he was reincarnated as one of the Six Emperors of Heaven, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Azure Flower, a position of great esteem.

What does this mean? It means that the Eastern King Duke is a person with great fortune and blessings.

And such a person must have a great treasure by their side.

Zhao Gongming decided to go to Zifuzhou to see how things were going.

Although Zhao Gongming had never been to Zifuzhou, he knew its general location.

Located in the primordial east, in a mountain range renowned for its outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

Within the mountains lies a vast, expansive lake, brimming with spiritual energy; Zifu Continent is situated within it.

Furthermore, the entire island is square in shape with distinct edges and corners, and is high on all four sides and low in the middle.

Shaped like a square gourd, it is also known as Fanghu Island.

It was formed from a fragment of chaos when Pangu created the world, and it is very similar to the three immortal islands of Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou.

After deciding to set off, Zhao Gongming did not hesitate any longer. He took Liu Er, the Black Water Serpent, and the Little Black Tiger with him and headed towards Zifu Continent at a leisurely pace.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Donghuang Taiyi wasn't just bluffing Dongwanggong; he had actually made his move.

Above Zifu Continent, massive clusters of demonic clouds rolled in, obscuring the sky and the sun.

Although there were only Donghuang Taiyi and Bai Ze on it, it looked like a vast army.

It was as if a celestial emperor was surveying the heavens, radiating immense pressure that startled countless living beings in the primordial world.

"Donghuang Taiyi is heading to Zifu Continent!"

"He said he would depart in three days, and he really did depart in three days. He truly lives up to his title as the Eastern Emperor of Heaven. This time, the Eastern King is in for a world of trouble."

"Hey, don't forget, that Dongwanggong was personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor as the head of the male immortals in the primordial world. Donghuang Taiyi could only give him a warning at most; he would never dare to kill him."

"The Demon Emperor is domineering, and the Eastern King Duke is so ignorant of fate; the outcome is hard to predict."

Countless cultivators in the primordial world, while trembling with fear, secretly speculated.

Kunlun Mountain, Sanqing Hall, where the Three Pure Ones gather together.

"Elder brother, we had some connections with the Eastern King Duke when we listened to his lectures at Zixiao Palace back then. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to just stand by and do nothing?"

Yuanshi and Tongtian spoke in unison.

They are direct descendants of the Dao Ancestor and the chief of the second generation of the Xuanmen sect.

The Eastern King Duke is the head of the male immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor. It would be rather inappropriate for him to sit idly by and do nothing.

Taiqing shook his head, his eyes full of wisdom.

"Dongwanggong is the embodiment of pure Yang energy, and is himself the ultimate Yang. He was also appointed as the head of male immortals by the Dao Ancestor, and already possesses the Ziwei destiny."

"And Di Jun, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, established the Heavenly Court, bestowed the title of Demon Emperor, and called himself the Heavenly Emperor. He was the emperor among emperors."

"Under the grand scheme of Heaven, the Eastern King Duke's fate clashes with theirs. Even if we intervene this time and temporarily save the Eastern King Duke, what will happen next?"

Taiqing shook his head. "We can't control this matter, and we have no way to control it."

After hearing Taiqing's words, Yuanshi and Tongtian fell silent.

My elder brother has already analyzed it so clearly, what else can they do?

As for the Eastern King Duke, he can only hope for the best.

West of Kunlun Mountain lies the sacred site of the Queen Mother of the West, the foremost female immortal.

The Queen Mother of the West was dressed in a white silk robe, with exquisite features and a beautiful face.

But at this moment, she sighed, her beautiful eyes dimming slightly.

"Establishing an independent celestial court is truly unwise."

The Queen Mother of the West shook her head, clearly having no intention of helping the King Father of the East.

As the saying goes, you can't reason with a damned devil.

After preaching at Zixiao Palace, Xi Wangmu was simultaneously appointed by the Dao Ancestor as the head of the female immortals and even had a romantic relationship with Dong Wanggong.

They knew Dong Wanggong's character all too well.

Simply put, he's like a donkey, stubborn to the extreme, and won't listen to any advice.

At this moment, outside Zifu Continent, Donghuang Taiyi stood with his hands behind his back and spoke calmly.

"Bai Ze, form the formation."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

With a thought, Bai Ze waved his hand, and eighteen Heavenly Net Formations surrounded the entire Purple Mansion Continent.

With the Heavenly Net Formation in place, the Purple Mansion Continent was turned upside down, yet no one could escape from it.

"You stay here and keep watch, I'll go inside and finish this quickly."

Donghuang Taiyi uttered a sentence, and with a thought, the Chaos Bell, its entire body a deep yellow, appeared above his head.

With a slight rotation, an immense pressure swept over.

Donghuang Taiyi slowly stepped into Zifu Continent, and Bai Ze also closed his eyes, his face showing reluctance.

When the Eastern Emperor was enraged, the heavens and earth collapsed and split apart. How could the Eastern King, the head of all male immortals, be so blind to the situation?

Bai Ze shook his head. It was true that the Eastern King Duke had great fortune, but he did not understand the will of Heaven or the general trend of Heaven. What use was his great fortune?

"Knock knock knock!"

"Knock knock knock!"

"Knock knock knock!"

"Knock knock knock!"

Not long after, the sound of the Chaos Bell rang out from Zifu Continent.

The twelve consecutive attacks, even with the Heavenly Net Formation blocking them, still made Bai Ze somewhat terrified by their destructive power.

His Majesty the Eastern Emperor has grown stronger again; the demon race will soon defeat the witch race!

Before long, the destructive aura that had been spreading in mid-air slowly dissipated.

Donghuang Taiyi stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, and slowly walked out.

"Your Majesty, the Eastern King."

Bai Ze asked cautiously.

"He has already fallen, and all his trusted subordinates died under the Chaos Bell."

After Donghuang Taiyi finished speaking, he had a thought, and a large cloud floated down to his feet.

"Now that this matter is settled, let's go."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Bai Ze quickly took away the eighteen Heavenly Nets.

The instant the eighteen heavenly nets were removed.

With a deafening boom, an incomparably terrifying aura of bloodlust spread wildly in all directions from Zifu Continent as its center.

In an instant, the entire territory of Zifu Continent, spanning millions of miles, was polluted.

That deathly stillness, almost instantly, startled billions of living beings in the primordial world.
