Chapter 111: Donghuang Taiyi
"Clang!"
A bell toll that shook the heavens echoed throughout the entire East Sea.
The many figures on Penglai Immortal Island who had been celebrating all froze, looking in unison toward the leader, Dong Wanggong.
They were far too familiar with this bell sound; it was the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell, the treasure of Taiyi.
Dong Wanggong's right hand, raised in a toast, stiffened in mid-air, his expression incomparably ugly.
With a bell toll resounding across the entire East Sea, Dong Wanggong did not believe Taiyi had come to offer congratulations.
"Immortal Emperor! This Taiyi is too arrogant; let us see what he intends!" Pan Wang was the first to leap out, his face full of rage.
The Heaven and Earth Luck that had gathered had not even warmed up yet, and Taiyi had already come knocking; it was truly detestable.
"Indeed, could this Taiyi be intending to defy the will of the Dao Ancestor?"
"The immortals are gathered on Penglai Immortal Island, and the Immortal Emperor has already severed one corpse; why fear the mere Demon Court?"
Many figures all around shouted in anger, their expressions all filled with indignation.
Dong Wanggong, who had been immersed in the sound of the Innate Supreme Treasure's bell, thought about it and felt there was reason in their words.
This was Penglai Immortal Island, he was the Head of Male Immortals appointed by the Dao Ancestor, and furthermore, he had already severed one corpse.
Taiyi was certainly formidable, but he, Dong Wanggong, was no pushover either.
"Let's go! Let us meet this Taiyi!"
With a loud shout, Dong Wanggong leaped into the sky.
The Queen Mother of the West and Pan Wang followed closely behind, and the remaining Innate Sacreds all took to the air.
Above the vast firmament, only one figure stood proudly. His upper body was half-bare, a golden sun on his chest dazzling to the eye, and his entire body burned with the scorching Great Sun Golden Flame; it was none other than the Demon Court's Taiyi.
Dong Wanggong, who had flown into the air first, felt the aura emanating from the other party and his heart instantly tightened.
A Quasi-Saint! Taiyi had also severed one corpse! Seeing that the other party had come alone, he could not help but feel a surge of anger.
He, Dong Wanggong, was, after all, one of the Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace, with an extraordinary origin, and he commanded the immortals of the East Sea.
This Taiyi was truly too arrogant, wishing to suppress the entire Immortal Court with the strength of one person? Pan Wang and the others who followed behind, seeing the scene in the air, were stunned at first, then all became furious.
Taiyi, wielding an Innate Supreme Treasure, was indeed powerful, but this was going too far in disregarding them.
"Taiyi, what is your intention?" Dong Wanggong asked with a dark face, suppressing the anger in his heart.
If not for his extreme fear of the other party's Innate Supreme Treasure, why would he need to do this? Taiyi, standing proudly in the air, slowly opened his eyes, not even looking at Dong Wanggong and the others below, and spoke in an indifferent tone.
"Penglai may enter the Demon Court!"
A single plain sentence spread across the firmament and echoed in the East Sea.
In the entire Primordial World, only the Wu Clan was the great enemy of the Demon Court; as for some Head of Male Immortals, Taiyi had no intention of paying him any mind.
Dong Wanggong should not have, under any circumstances, dared to establish an Immortal Court, coveting Heaven and Earth Luck; his ambition was not small.
There were many Great Luo Golden Immortals on Penglai Immortal Island; it was just right to absorb them all to strengthen the Demon Court.
Dong Wanggong, listening, was stunned, and then became uncontrollably furious.
One person, one sentence, and he wanted to subjugate the entire Immortal Court; this Taiyi clearly did not take them seriously at all.
Before Dong Wanggong could speak, Pan Wang at his side shouted angrily: "Rampant! The Immortal Emperor is the Head of Male Immortals approved by the Dao Ancestor; who are you?"
"Indeed! Taiyi, are you intending to defy the will of the Dao Ancestor?"
"The Dao Ancestor preached to the Primordial World; do you intend to oppose the Dao Ancestor?"
Immediately, many figures leaped out, and without exception, they were all Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace.
They had personally experienced the power of the Dao Ancestor; Dong Wanggong had established the Immortal Court, gained the recognition of Heaven and Earth, had merit descend, and now even had the Luck Golden Dragon gathered.
Dong Wanggong, standing in the air, did not speak, only looking at Taiyi with a gloomy face.
He truly did not want to provoke the Demon Court, but the Taiyi before him was simply too arrogant; his backer, after all, was the Dao Ancestor.
Taiyi's eyes closed slightly, his gaze passing indifferently over Pan Wang and the others before him.
Without any visible movement, a sudden bell toll rang out in the void, and instantly, the physical bodies of Pan Wang and the others below exploded, their Primordial Spirits fleeing in panic.
"Taiyi! How bold!"
Taiyi's unbridled strike made Dong Wanggong furious, and even more terrified of the power of the Innate Supreme Treasure.
He was clearly standing in front, yet Taiyi had instantly shattered the physical bodies of Pan Wang and the others.
Those were fellow Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace; even with his own Quasi-Saint might, it would be difficult to possess such power.
With many thoughts racing through his mind, Dong Wanggong threw out the Dragon Head Cane in his hand, which transformed into a long golden dragon and charged straight at Taiyi in the air. Pan Wang and the others, hiding in the distance, did not dare to speak again, their expressions filled with terror.
A physical body was nothing; it could be condensed with some time, but this Taiyi was truly too terrifying.
Such formidable strength made them feel a sense of fear.
"Hmph!"
Taiyi, standing in the air, still did not move.
With the same bell toll, the long golden dragon roared at the sky, then exploded with a boom, turning into a streak of golden light that fell into Dong Wanggong's hand.
Looking at the slightly trembling Dragon Head Cane in his palm, Dong Wanggong's face twitched slightly.
This treasure was bestowed by the Dao Ancestor, a powerful Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure. After just this one move, he already dared not strike again; was this the power of an Innate Supreme Treasure?
Now that the immortals of the Immortal Court were all present, he could not lose his prestige.
Dong Wanggong, angry in his heart, let out a roar and swept forward, wrapped in a dense Extreme Yang Qi.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
With three consecutive bell tolls, Dong Wanggong's figure shook violently, the Extreme Yang Qi shrouding his body dissipated, and his entire physical body seemed about to crack open; he immediately flew back in retreat.
Before he had even approached the other party, Taiyi's three bell tolls had made him understand the gap between them.
Standing in the air, Dong Wanggong felt that he was perhaps a fake Quasi-Saint.
With a gloomy face, he shouted in a low voice: "Taiyi, are you intending to clash with the Dao Ancestor?"
After a simple exchange, he already understood that he was simply no match for Donghuang Taiyi, and now he could only bring up the Dao Ancestor in Purple Heaven Palace.
Behind him, the Queen Mother of the West and the others all had expressions of horror.
The events happened very quickly, but they all saw it clearly; Donghuang Taiyi was too strong.
The crowd had only been in the air for a few breaths before Donghuang Taiyi shattered the physical bodies of Pan Wang and the others, easily repelling Dong Wanggong's attack.
Donghuang Taiyi truly intended to suppress the entire Immortal Court with the strength of one person.
As his gaze fell upon Dong Wanggong, a flash of surprise crossed Donghuang Taiyi's eyes.
After severing one corpse and stepping into the Quasi-Saint realm, his wielding of the Chaos Bell had become even more effortless, and its power was incomparable to the past.
According to his estimation, three bell tolls should have been enough to shatter Dong Wanggong's physical body, yet he had not expected this fellow to actually block them.
The Head of Male Immortals did indeed have some strength.
"Submit! Or I shall shatter this immortal island of yours!" Donghuang Taiyi withdrew his gaze, his tone remaining as indifferent as ever.
It seemed that even that Dao Ancestor in Purple Heaven Palace was not held in his regard.
"You—" Dong Wanggong was furious, and for a moment, he did not know what to say.
The Dao Ancestor was his greatest reliance, yet he had not expected the other party to not care at all; no wonder he had dared to surround and kill Nuwa in the Chaos earlier.
Donghuang Taiyi did not speak again, only the Chaos Bell hidden at his side slowly emerged.
Outside the bell body, the sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, and wind circled upon it. Inside the bell body, mountains, rivers, and the earth appeared, with the ten thousand races of the Primordial World faintly visible within.
Five-colored rays of light illuminated the heavens, and the holy might of Chaos shook the universe.
This was the first time Dong Wanggong had viewed an Innate Supreme Treasure from such close range.
Even a slight gaze made one's heart tremble with fear.
Feeling the overwhelming holy might descending, Dong Wanggong laughed in extreme anger: "Good, good, good! I shall see how you shatter my immortal island."
After speaking, Dong Wanggong's figure flickered, and he descended directly toward Penglai Immortal Island.
The Queen Mother of the West and the others on the side naturally followed closely behind, fleeing back to the island in a panic.
Facing the crowd fleeing in haste, Donghuang Taiyi only watched with cold eyes, making not the slightest move.
In an instant, the air was emptied of people, leaving only one figure standing proudly.
On the island below, dense array patterns immediately rose up, shrouding the entire Penglai Immortal Island.
Dong Wanggong stood in the center of the island, his expression gloomily terrifying.
Penglai Immortal Island was shrouded by the Innate Array, the Ten Thousand Immortals Array, so he was not worried about Donghuang Taiyi.
It was just that the Immortal Court had only just been established, Pan Wang and the others had had their physical bodies shattered, and he himself was in such a sorry state; how could he lead the East Sea in the future?
After this matter, he must make a trip to Purple Heaven Palace.
