Primordial Era: I Became a Disciple of the Shangqing Sect After Being Become a Disciple of the Jie S

Chapter 72 The Eastern King's Death and the Disappearance of His Dao; Purple Mansion Prefecture

"Di Jun, Tai Yi, you have committed such heinous acts of slaughter. Even if you destroy my Purple Mansion Immortal Court today, you will surely be punished by Heaven one day!"

In the Purple Mansion State, the Eastern King Duke, his hair disheveled and bathed in blood, found the Purple Mansion Immortal Court, once a gathering place for immortals, reduced to scorched earth, shrouded in the resentment emanating from countless wandering immortals before their deaths.

Now only four great supernatural beings remain: Dongwanggong, Liehuo Daoren, Cangming Daoren, and Qingyang Daoren, along with thirty or forty Daluo Daojun.

The "Ten Thousand Immortals Formation" was violently breached, and the four Quasi-Saints, Great Divine Power Masters—Dong Wanggong, Liehuo Daoren, Cangming Daoren, and Qingyang Daoren—were also subjected to the backlash of the Great Dao's power. As for the thirty or forty Great Luo Dao Lords, they were all seriously injured, with only two or three tenths of their peak strength remaining!

However, this is quite normal. The power of Di Jun's attack was too heavy. Combining the "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Da Zhen" and the Sun Star of the Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth, this attack has risen to the level of Hunyuan!

If the "Ten Thousand Immortals Formation" hadn't blocked most of the power of this attack, let alone those thirty or forty Great Luo Dao Lords, even the four Quasi-Saint Great Divine Powers—Dong Wang Gong, Lie Huo Dao Ren, Cang Ming Dao Ren, and Qing Yang Dao Ren—would have perished under this attack!

Ignoring the shouts of the Eastern King Duke, Di Jun gazed at the boundless immortal light scattered by the shattered "Ten Thousand Immortals Formation," a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and said, "Such an immortal formation, no wonder you dared to open the Purple Mansion Immortal Court and covet my throne as the Heavenly Emperor. Unfortunately, you are doomed to perish today!"

Dongwanggong, I know you are determined to usurp my throne and become the Heavenly Emperor. Out of respect for Master Hongjun, I will not hold it against you. However, you should not have allowed the Purple Palace to slaughter the demon race, nor should you have obstructed the Great Sun from bathing in the East Sea!

Today, I, acting on behalf of Heaven, will punish you, this wicked one who wreaks havoc on Heaven and defies the will of Heaven!

Seeing that Di Jun had distorted the truth and labeled the Purple Mansion Immortal Court as a "great evil of heaven and earth," Daoist Liehuo was filled with rage and trembled with anger.

"Hmph, the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Race's Heavenly Court is so utterly shameless! Who was it that acted so perversely, slaughtering living beings and annihilating so many races of the primordial world?"

Perhaps knowing that he could not escape his fate today, the Fiery Daoist, in a fit of rage, disregarded the difference in cultivation and power between himself and Di Jun, and charged towards Di Jun like a moth to a flame.

As the Fiery Daoist unleashed his divine power, countless blazing flames ignited in the sky above Zifu Prefecture, converging into a Fiery Dao Domain, which was then imbued into the superior-grade innate spiritual treasure refining furnace and headed straight for Di Jun.

"Hmph, you dare to cause trouble with mere fiery energy? Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"

Seeing the furious Daoist Liehuo approaching, a cold glint flashed in Di Jun's eyes. As the Demon Emperor, he was not someone that a mere mid-stage Quasi-Saint cultivator could provoke.

Since you dare to attack Him, you must pay the price and be prepared to perish!

With a wave of his hand, Di Jun unleashed several streams of true solar fire, which manifested as a three-legged golden crow, containing the powerful innate yang energy.

The 'Refining Furnace' unleashed by the Fiery Daoist, imbued with the Fiery Dao Domain, crumbled instantly under the suppression of the Primordial Yang Dao contained within it, as a result of Di Jun's single-handed strike.

Without the support of the Blazing Fire Dao Domain, the magnificent aura of the 'Refining Furnace' suddenly dissipated, and the Blazing Fire Daoist had no choice but to abandon his attack and activate the 'Refining Furnace' to suppress the True Sun Fire unleashed by Emperor Jun.

If it were ordinary true solar fire, Daoist Liehuo could suppress it with a wave of his hand. However, the true solar fire unleashed by Dijun was extraordinary, containing the innate supreme yang Dao at the late quasi-saint level, and it was not so easy to suppress.

Before the Fiery Daoist could recover, Di Jun unleashed an even more domineering and unparalleled attack, with the explosive true fire of the sun landing directly on the 'Refining Furnace'.

The 'Refining Furnace,' a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure, dimmed its spiritual light in an instant and rolled into the void with a 'whoosh'.

"ah......."

A scream echoed through the void as the Fiery Daoist wailed in agony. At that moment, his body was covered in true solar fire, which began to burn fiercely!

He could clearly feel the true fire of the sun burning his immortal body, magical power, and primordial spirit. Even the Great Dao of Blazing Fire that he had comprehended was being burned by the true fire of the sun.

Seeing that Daoist Liehuo was in dire straits, Dongwanggong, Daoist Cangming, and Daoist Qingyang in Zifu Prefecture were greatly alarmed and immediately wanted to help him.

Before they could go forward, they were stopped by Donghuang Taiyi, Kunpeng, and Tengshe in the void.

Above Zifu Prefecture, eight Quasi-Saint Great Divine Power Masters clashed fiercely, their power of the Great Dao crisscrossing the void, unleashing powerful divine abilities that caused the earth, water, wind, and fire to surge.

Meanwhile, the thirty or forty Great Luo Dao Lords in Zifu Prefecture were also targeted by the Great Luo Demon Gods of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, and had no choice but to hastily engage in battle despite their injuries.

However, how could the group of Grand Luo Dao Lords of the Purple Mansion Immortal Court, who were heavily injured and only had two or three tenths of their strength left, possibly withstand the ferocious Grand Luo Demon Gods?

Before long, strange phenomena rose in the sky, and mournful music resounded. Several Grand Luo Dao Lords of the Purple Mansion Immortal Court had fallen at the hands of the Grand Luo Demon Gods of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court.

"Haha, fellow Daoists, let's embark on our journey together! How delightful! We'll meet again in immeasurable eons!"

Seeing his fellow Daoist perish, and knowing that the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race would never let him go no matter what, a Grand Luo Dao Lord of the Purple Mansion Immortal Court, with a look of madness on his face, roared and began to self-destruct, trying to take the Grand Luo Demon God with him on his way.

This tragic sentiment infected the many Great Luo Dao Lords of the Purple Mansion Immortal Court who were on the verge of despair. Feeling the plight of the rabbits dying together, they also began to self-destruct one by one, even if it meant their own demise and the dissipation of their Dao, they still wanted to tear a piece of flesh and blood from the Demon Race Heavenly Court.

Faced with the sudden self-destruction of the Grand Luo Dao Lord of the Purple Mansion Immortal Court, the group of Grand Luo Demon Gods were in a very sorry state, and more than a dozen unlucky ones were even taken away with them.

However, these Grand Luo Dao Lords of the Purple Mansion Celestial Court ultimately did nothing in vain. Throughout the entire Demon Clan Heavenly Court, apart from the Phoenix Perching Mountain lineage and the Ten Great Demon Saints including Bai Ze, every demon clan had a trace of true spirit within the Demon Summoning Banner.

After the great battle in Zifu Prefecture ends, they will be able to be resurrected from the Demon-Summoning Banner.

Kunlun Mountain, Sanqing Palace.

Upon witnessing the great battle on Zifu Prefecture, Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and sighed inwardly.

Once the "Ten Thousand Immortals Formation" was broken, the Eastern King Duke and his subordinates, including the Great Divine Power Masters and the Great Luo Dao Lords, were doomed. This great battle was merely the last swan song of the Purple Mansion Immortal Court!

Despite both sides having four Quasi-Saints with great supernatural powers, the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race has Di Jun, Tai Yi, Kun Peng, and Teng She, all of whom are late-stage Quasi-Saints. On the other hand, the Purple Mansion Immortal Court only has Dong Wang Gong, a late-stage Quasi-Saint, while Lie Huo Dao Ren, Cang Ming Dao Ren, and Qing Yang Dao Ren are only mid-stage Quasi-Saints.

Furthermore, the "Ten Thousand Immortals Formation" was violently breached, and the Eastern King Duke and others suffered a backlash from the power of the Great Dao, barely able to unleash about 60% of their peak strength!

While Di Jun, Tai Yi, Kun Peng, and Teng She maintained the "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Da Zhen" (Great Array of the Heavenly Stars) in the East Sea, which consumed some of their magical power, they still retained at least 90% of their strength.

They were no match to begin with, and with the backlash from the power of the Great Dao, they had even less strength to escape the tribulation!

If the "Ten Thousand Immortals Grand Formation" had not been breached by the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, the Purple Mansion Immortal Court would still have a fighting chance if it relied on this supreme formation.

However, although the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation is incredibly powerful, how can it compare to the Sun Star, one of the two elements of the Primordial World?

As expected, as Lu Yuan's thoughts raced, the Fiery Daoist could no longer suppress the power of the innate supreme yang Dao within the True Fire of the Sun, and his immortal body, magical power, primordial spirit, and Dao itself burned violently.

With a clear, ringing sound of a chaotic bell, the Fiery Daoist turned to ashes in despair and pain, his body perishing and his Dao vanishing!

"Fellow Daoist Liehuo..."

Above Zifu Prefecture, seeing the Fiery Daoist fall, the Eastern King Duke's eyes were bloodshot with hatred. He urged his dragon-headed cane and the Gathering Immortals Banner to strike Donghuang Taiyi.

It seemed that he was venting all his resentment towards the demon race's heavenly court on Donghuang Taiyi in front of him.

However, although Dongwanggong had the cultivation of a late-stage Quasi-Saint, he was seriously injured and not at his peak. How could he compare to Donghuang Taiyi, who wielded the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell?

The dragon-headed cane and the Immortal Gathering Flag struck the Chaos Bell, producing only a clear chime. They couldn't even penetrate the mysterious yellow light emanating from the bell's surface.

Instead, he suffered quite a bit under Donghuang Taiyi's Chaos Bell!

On the other side, Cangming Daoist and Qingyang Daoist, who were fighting against Kunpeng and Tengshe, didn't even have a moment to 'grief'. They were already at their limit, gritting their teeth and struggling to hold on, with no power to fight back!

Soon, Qingyang Daoist and Cangming Daoist followed in the footsteps of Liehuo Daoist and perished at the hands of Tengshe and Kunpeng.

With the fall of Qingyang Daoist and Cangming Daoist, Dongwanggong felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He glanced back at the ruins of Zifu Prefecture, then looked at Donghuang Taiyi before him, and behind him were Dijun, Kunpeng, Tengshe, and a group of demon clan Heavenly Court cultivators.

"If it weren't for these culprits before us, how could the Purple Mansion Celestial Court have been reduced to scorched earth?"

Upon realizing this, the Eastern King Duke's face turned crazed, and he roared, "Emperor Jun, Taiyi, even if I perish and my Dao dissipates, I will drag you down with me!"

Seeing the Eastern King Duke's frenzied state, Di Jun, Kunpeng, and Tengshe, who were standing to the side, felt a bad premonition when they recalled the self-destruction of the Great Luo Dao Lord of the Purple Mansion Immortal Court.

"Taiyi, stop him! Dongwanggong is about to self-destruct!" Dijun's expression changed drastically.

Donghuang Taiyi also had a premonition, and before Dijun spoke, he activated the Chaos Bell, wanting to suppress and kill Dongwanggong, but it was too late.

"Haha, too late!"

Upon seeing Donghuang Taiyi's actions, Dongwanggong burst into maniacal laughter as his Dao body suddenly collapsed, and his late-stage Quasi-Saint Dao Fruit exploded!

A deafening explosion rang out, and a blinding flash of light engulfed the vast East China Sea.

How terrifying is the power of a late-stage Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerable self-destructing?

Centered on Zifu Prefecture, a terrifying destructive force is sweeping across the East Sea and spreading towards the prehistoric continent.

If this destructive force is allowed to spread, countless lives will be killed and countless immortal mountains and ley lines will be destroyed. The Eastern King Duke has fallen into the land of eternal calamity, but their demon race's Heavenly Court is still here!

Considering the fate of Hongjun Daozu during the Immortal-Demon Tribulation, this immense karmic consequence will surely fall upon the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race.

Therefore, the powerful beings of the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, disregarding the impact of the destructive power, all offered up their innate spiritual treasures to suppress the terrifying destructive power!

"Certainly!"

Donghuang Taiyi then summoned the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell, and activated it with great power to stabilize the earth, water, wind, and fire, controlling the destructive force within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles around Zifu Prefecture.

Di Jun summoned the "Hetu Luoshu" and used the principles of formation to disperse the destructive power, dividing it into countless parts and releasing it bit by bit.

As for the Tengshe Daoist, he offered up a top-grade innate spiritual treasure to assist Donghuang Taiyi in suppressing the power of destruction.

Kunpeng Daoist, lacking high-grade innate spiritual treasures, used the acquired supreme treasure "Kunpeng Palace" to protect the demon race's Heavenly Court army.

"call......"

Only after the terrifying destructive power had been completely dissipated did Di Jun and Tai Yi breathe a sigh of relief.

Kunpeng and Tengshe, who were standing to the side, couldn't help but feel a little regretful when they saw that although Dijun and Taiyi had suffered serious injuries, their foundations had not been damaged.

Both of them cursed Dongwanggong in their hearts as a waste. If he didn't take Dijun and Taiyi away, he should at least have damaged their foundations to create an opportunity for them to retaliate.

Just as Kunpeng and Tengshe were cursing Dongwanggong in their hearts, the destructive power on the outskirts of Zifu Prefecture had dissipated.

The true spirit of the Eastern King Duke revealed itself and plummeted into the abyss of the earth, into the land of eternal calamity!

Upon seeing the true spirit of the Eastern King Duke, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi's face darkened, revealing a ruthless expression. He immediately activated the Chaos Bell, intending to turn the true spirit into dust.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, please show mercy!"

At this moment, an aged voice came, and a white jade bridge spanned the void. Wherever it passed, the earth, water, wind, and fire all calmed down, isolating the Chaos Bell from its fierce attack and protecting the true spirit of the Eastern King Duke who was about to be reduced to dust.

Taiyi looked in the direction of the sound and saw three figures appear in the void. The one in the lead was Taiqing Daoist, while Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist and Shangqing Tongtian Daoist stood on either side.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, since the Eastern King has already perished, all the sins and karma from before have been wiped away. Why do you have to be so ruthless?"

"He was once the head of the immortal path, appointed by Master Hongjun. Now that only this little bit of true spirit remains, are you still not satisfied, fellow Daoist?" Taiqing Daoist raised his eyes and looked at Donghuang Taiyi.

"Hmph, the Eastern King Duke defied the Heavenly Way, and his current predicament is entirely his own fault. Why, Brother Taiqing, do you wish to stand up for the Eastern King Duke?"

Blocked by the Taiji diagram, Donghuang Taiyi was already quite displeased that he was unable to turn the true spirit of Dongwanggong into dust.

Then, Taiqing Daoist used Hongjun Daozu to pressure him, accusing him of wanting to kill him, which ignited Donghuang Taiyi's anger.

Although He did indeed take ruthless actions to exterminate them, He was still very unhappy to hear the subtle accusations from the Taoist Taiqing.

So Donghuang Taiyi snorted coldly, staring angrily at Taiqing Daoren and Yuqing Yuanshi Daoren and Shangqing Tongtian Daoren on either side of him.

Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist glared at Donghuang Taiyi, and snorted coldly with some resentment, "Hmph, we are fellow Daoists, how can Donghuang be so heartless?"

"You........." Donghuang Taiyi was about to retort, but was stopped by Dijun who raised his hand.

He looked at Taiqing Daoist, Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist, and Shangqing Tongtian Daoist, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and said, "Since the Three Pure Ones have spoken, I cannot go so far as to exterminate them all. Let's leave it at that."

However, Brother Sanqing must also grant me one request: before this great calamity of heaven and earth ends, the 'Eastern King Duke' is not allowed to appear in the world!

He had already guessed the purpose of the Three Pure Ones, which was nothing more than to use the methods of fortune and creation to re-nurturing the "Eastern King Duke".

However, the true Eastern King has already fallen into the Land of Eternal Calamity, and his return will have to wait until after countless eons.

Although the "Eastern King Duke" born from the Three Pure Ones can inherit some of the Eastern King Duke's fortune and authority, it is ultimately not Himself!

"Your Majesty has mercy!"

The Three Pure Ones bowed slightly to Emperor Jun, wrapped in the true spirit of the Eastern King Duke, and then rode away on three auspicious clouds.

Seeing the Three Pure Ones depart, a hint of resentment flashed in Taiyi's eyes. He looked at Dijun with confusion and asked, "Brother, why...?"

Before Taiyi could even ask, Dijun waved his hand and said, "Taiyi, our demon race's enemy is the witch race. We must not offend the Three Pure Ones to the death."

After all, they were transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, and they became disciples of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, obtaining the opportunity to become saints through the Primordial Purple Qi. In terms of foundation, strength, and methods, they surpass us brothers.

Furthermore, before the Three Pure Ones attained sainthood, they were not enemies of our Demon Clan's Heavenly Court!

After hearing Di Jun's explanation, Taiyi nodded sullenly, then turned around to put away the many innate spiritual treasures floating in the void.

The top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the "Pure Yang Sword," along with several mid-grade and low-grade innate spiritual treasures, flew directly into Taiyi's hand.

However, the three top-grade innate spiritual treasures—the Dragon Head Cane, the Gathering Immortals Flag, and the Myriad Immortals Map—remained completely unmoved in the face of Taiyi's summons.

This enraged Taiyi, who wanted to unleash the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell, to suppress them one by one!

"Taiyi, stop immediately!" Dijun raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Don't be so presumptuous! These three spiritual treasures are used to suppress the fortune of the immortals; they are Master Hongjun's treasures..."

Upon hearing Di Jun's words, a flash of inspiration struck Donghuang Taiyi. Back in Zixiao Palace, when Hongjun Daozu bestowed the spiritual treasure, it was after Dongwanggong was appointed the head of the immortal path.

In other words, in the current prehistoric world, apart from the already deceased Dongwanggong, only Hongjun Daozu and Xiwangmu of Xikunlun can activate these three innate spiritual treasures.

Even though their demon race's Heavenly Court obtained the Dragon Head Staff, the Gathering Immortals Banner, and the Myriad Immortals Map, they were unable to use them and had even formed a karmic bond with the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"Hoo..." Donghuang Taiyi exhaled a breath of turbid air after putting away the Chaos Bell.

"Disciple Di Jun respectfully requests Master Hongjun to retrieve the treasure..."

Di Jun respectfully bowed towards the direction of the celestial chaos, his every move filled with utmost piety.

In the Purple Cloud Palace beyond the heavens, Dao Ancestor Hongjun sat cross-legged on his cloud bed, gazing at the exceptionally respectful Emperor Jun outside Purple Mansion State, before his gaze fell upon Purple Mansion State, which had been reduced to scorched earth.

"Alas, this calamity has finally erupted..."

"It's a pity about Chunyang. If he could have restrained his ambition, he would have been the most suitable candidate for Heavenly Emperor after Dijun's fall!"

"Enough, enough. After the Lich Calamity ends, let Haotian and Yaochi take over..."

After glancing at the page guarding the gate outside Zixiao Palace, Hongjun Daozu waved his hand, and the three innate spiritual treasures—the Dragon Head Cane, the Gathering Immortals Flag, and the Myriad Immortals Diagram—instantly disappeared from the sight of Dijun and Taiyi.

However, Hongjun Daozu only took the dragon-headed walking stick; as for the Gathering Immortals Banner and the Myriad Immortals Map, he bestowed them upon the Queen Mother of the West and the Shangqing Tongtian Daoist.

Seeing that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had taken away the treasure, Dijun and Taiyi breathed a sigh of relief. They exchanged a glance, their faces showing a sense of relief.

As expected, Hongjun Daozu abandoned Dongwanggong and did not pursue the cause and effect of their killing of Dongwanggong!
