Chapter 112: Dao Ancestor, Save Me
Donghuang Taiyi, who had originally paid no mind to the air, glanced downward, a flash of surprise crossing his face.
Dense, profound Dao Patterns shimmered with brilliant radiance; it was clearly no ordinary Array.
"Penglai Immortal Island does have some good things," Donghuang Taiyi whispered, slowly descending toward the ground.
Penglai was a famous immortal island in the East Sea, and having been managed by Dong Wanggong for many years, it possessed some substance.
The Innate Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell hung at his side, radiating majestic heavenly might.
Within the Array, Dong Wanggong watched Donghuang Taiyi drawing ever closer, his own face filled with tension.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Array was an Innate Array shrouding Penglai Immortal Island, refined because it had taken form upon the island.
Dong Wanggong was naturally very confident in this Array, but the power of the Chaos Bell was simply too terrifying.
Both having severed one corpse, he had absolutely no power to resist in front of Taiyi.
Dong Wanggong felt somewhat uncertain in his heart whether the Ten Thousand Immortals Array could withstand an Innate Supreme Treasure.
The Queen Mother of the West, Pan Wang, and the others on the sidelines were likewise filled with trepidation.
Donghuang Taiyi was too overbearing; he did not even give the Dao Ancestor any face.
"Clang!"
A heaven-shaking bell toll rang out, countless dense array patterns flickered, and the Ten Thousand Immortals Array remained unmoved; Dong Wanggong and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Noticing that everyone around him was relieved, Dong Wanggong could not help but twitch his face slightly.
A moment ago, full of spirit and vigor, Dong Wanggong had felt he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
Head of Male Immortals, Emperor of the Immortal Court, congratulated by all spirits of the East Sea, and many Guests of Zixiao Palace even honored him as an Immortal Emperor.
Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, he would be pressed to his own doorstep by Donghuang Taiyi, forced to cower inside after just a few bell tolls.
"Brother must avenge us," Pan Wang on the side finally could not help but speak up.
He excelled in the way of poison gu; in this kind of direct confrontation, he was by no means a match for Taiyi.
Donghuang Taiyi was truly too tyrannical; he had only said one sentence before his physical body was shattered.
"Immortal Emperor! For Taiyi to so openly defy the Dao Ancestor, this must not be let go."
"Indeed! We should go to Purple Heaven Palace later to recount the evil deeds of the Demon Court."
Those few other Innate Sacreds whose physical bodies had also shattered could not help but speak up one after another.
All were recognized by Heaven and Earth, and Dong Wanggong was the Head of Male Immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor; they had not expected Donghuang Taiyi to act without the slightest hesitation.
As fellow Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace, how could they not be angry that he did not give them even a shred of face.
"Rest assured, everyone! I will certainly report this matter to the Dao Ancestor; this Demon Court is truly too presumptuous." The indignant Dong Wanggong looked toward the Queen Mother of the West at his side.
He certainly could not defeat the opponent; now he could only rely on the Dao Ancestor.
"I shall go as well!" The temptation of merit and luck was something the Queen Mother of the West could not refuse either.
She had no intention of being enemies with the Demon Court, but the Immortal Court was recognized by Heaven and Earth; for Donghuang Taiyi to be so rude, it was only right to report it to the Dao Ancestor.
Clang, clang, clang! As the few were speaking, several bell tolls suddenly rang out in succession overhead. Amidst the countless rising array patterns, a massive light screen covering the sky manifested, shrouding the space above Penglai Immortal Island.
Under the echoing bell tolls, the light screen actually rippled in layers.
Seeing this, Dong Wanggong was startled and hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Let us exert our full strength to drive the Array; do not be careless!"
From the few exchanges just now, it was clear that Donghuang Taiyi had not used his full strength.
Dong Wanggong did not want to let the opponent find an opening due to his own negligence.
Once the Ten Thousand Immortals Array shattered, they would not be able to withstand the power of an Innate Supreme Treasure.
Thinking of this, Dong Wanggong could not help but marvel in his heart at the strength of the Ancestral Witch's physical body.
During the first Witch-Demon battle, he had seen it clearly; not only Dijiang, but several Ancestral Witches had withstood the attacks of the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell, head-on.
Hearing this, Pan Wang and the others knew the severity of the situation and did not say more, each fleeing toward the perimeter of Penglai Immortal Island.
Although Nuwa did not know why they had fallen out with the Demon Court, the Demon Court had more than just Taiyi as a Demon Emperor.
If the remaining Di Jun and the others suddenly appeared, what would they have to resist with? In an instant, the light screen shrouding Penglai Immortal Island bloomed with dazzling radiance, with dense array patterns interweaving and surging, carved into the surrounding void to form profound lines.
"Let me show you the might of my Chaos Bell!" Taiyi stood in the air, his eyes filled with fervor.
He was born holding the Chaos Bell, but it was an Innate Supreme Treasure after all. Previously, it had mostly hung above his head for protection, and even when barely activated, its power was not even one ten-thousandth of its potential.
Now that he had broken into the Quasi-Saint realm, he could finally wield this supreme treasure slightly.
With his internal Qi surging, the Chaos Bell hanging at his side spun rapidly and fell directly toward the light screen below.
Seeing the Chaos Bell crashing down from the air, Dong Wanggong's face was filled with shock.
Clang! A heaven-shaking bell toll exploded in the East Sea, rapidly rippling toward the Primordial World.
On the light screen, many array patterns shattered, and the entire screen shook violently, causing many living beings on the island to turn pale.
Dong Wanggong also widened his eyes; fortunately, the Array only shook and did not shatter.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his gaze shrank slightly again; the rebounding Chaos Bell was spinning and crashing down once more.
Clang! Clang! With two consecutive attacks, many of the weaker beings operating the Array trembled all over, their eyes filled with terror.
At this moment, Dong Wanggong was also panicked; the power of the Innate Supreme Treasure far exceeded his imagination.
No wonder... no wonder Donghuang Taiyi dared to come alone. It was just an Innate Supreme Treasure, how could it be so terrifying? No one could answer him; perhaps only the Three Pure Ones, who also possessed supreme treasures, could give him the answer.
A series of bell tolls awakened many Innate Sacreds who were in deep meditation.
Sensing slightly, they knew the bell tolls came from the East Sea, and after only a moment of hesitation, one figure after another flew over.
On Mount Buzhou, Tian Yuan also woke from his meditation, his gaze looking toward the direction of the East Sea in astonishment.
"The Demon Court is conquering Dong Wanggong so quickly?" Tian Yuan frowned, his eyes filled with doubt.
It had not been long since the third lecture at Zixiao Palace; could it be that the two Demon Emperors took action as soon as Dong Wanggong established the Immortal Court?
They truly did not give Hongjun any face; it seems Di Jun and Taiyi have already begun to come into contact with the Heavenly Dao Will.
He had originally thought that after breaking into the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, he would take this opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
After all, Penglai Immortal Island also has quite a few Great Luo Golden Immortals, and there are many good treasures there as well.
Things like the Ten Thousand Immortals Array and the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book are all on Penglai Immortal Island.
Tian Yuan stood up, his gaze looking toward the direction of the East Sea, and after frowning, he flew away regardless.
The journey to the East Sea is long, and he does not know how long Dong Wanggong can hold out, but he still must make an attempt.
Earlier, the Wu Clan was still under Mount Buzhou, while this Penglai Island is far away in the East Sea, both of which left him unable to prepare.
The Demon Court did not make a big show of force this time; it is clear they do not want to repeat past mistakes, and in all likelihood, they are afraid of him causing trouble.
Above the East Sea, streaks of rosy light flashed past, all of them emitting powerful fluctuations.
Outside Penglai Immortal Island, the Three Pure Ones emerged from the void, and upon sweeping their eyes over the scene in the distance, they were all filled with astonishment.
"This Donghuang Taiyi is truly bold, to actually not even hold the Dao Ancestor in his eyes." Yuanshi Tianzun had an angry look on his face, his expression quite unkind.
Although he also had no good feelings toward Dong Wanggong, he was, after all, the Head of Male Immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor.
Having not returned from Purple Heaven Palace for long, Donghuang Taiyi immediately attacked Penglai Immortal Island, which naturally displeased him.
Tongtian's eyes held a fiery heat as he looked at the Chaos Bell, then looked at his Big Brother beside him. "Big Brother! Shall we fight him?"
He had long wanted to try out the power of the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell, and it would be just right to save the Head of Male Immortals, Dong Wanggong.
"Just watch!" Laozi's eyes opened slightly, and one could not tell if he was happy or angry from his face.
Whether it be Dong Wanggong or Donghuang Taiyi, he felt no particular aversion to either.
The Dao Ancestor possesses vast supernatural powers and is the only Saint in the primordial world; it is impossible that he does not know what is happening before them.
It is true that Dong Wanggong is the Head of Male Immortals, but since the Dao Ancestor has not appeared to stop this, they naturally have even less reason to intervene.
Yuanshi and Tongtian were clearly both aware of this point and stopped speaking. They both stood in the air waiting quietly, their gazes one by one looking toward the Penglai Island, which was shrouded in immortal mist.
As a famous immortal island of the East Sea, it must be covered in Spiritual Roots, and perhaps there are even opportunities to be found.
Figures appeared all around; they were almost all Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace.
Without any surprise, not a single person made a move; they all hid in the distance to watch.
Donghuang Taiyi, standing in the air, swept his gaze over a certain space, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
After arriving at the East Sea, he also had his misgivings, wary of the Dao Ancestor in Purple Heaven Palace and the Three Pure Ones on Kunlun Mountain.
In these few strikes, he had not used his full strength, precisely to test their reactions.
Now, Taiyi was clear in his heart that neither the Dao Ancestor nor the Three Pure Ones wished to concern themselves with the affairs of the primordial world.
Since that is the case, there is no need to be polite anymore; the primordial world can only have one Demon Court! Dazzling Great Sun Golden Flame surged, and suddenly, a scorching light burst forth from the rotating Chaos Bell in the air, simultaneously descending while carrying vast heavenly might.
The Chaos Bell can freeze time and suppress space; a mere Innate Array cannot withstand its offensive.
Moreover, on this Penglai Immortal Island, only Dong Wanggong alone has decent strength.
Wanting to withstand his attack is no different from a pipe dream.
Dong Wanggong, who was already flustered and panicked within the array, saw this, his expression changed drastically, and he roared hysterically: "Taiyi, do you truly not hold the Dao Ancestor in your eyes?"
He had not expected at all that Donghuang Taiyi had actually been hiding his strength at this time.
Clang! Responding to him was an even louder bell toll; the light screen covering his head trembled violently, and the Penglai Immortal Island beneath him shook intensely.
As for that light screen covered in array patterns, it was instantly covered in dense cracks, clearly visible.
Everyone in the field, including Dong Wanggong, had horrified expressions, their eyes filled with terror.
"Dao Ancestor! Dao Ancestor, save us!"
The horrified Dong Wanggong hurriedly called out toward the firmament.
"Hmph!" A cold snort came from the horizon, and the Chaos Bell descended once more, carrying terrifying might.
Clang! Clang!
With two consecutive sounds, the light screen from the first bell toll dimmed, and huge, visible cracks appeared.
The Chaos Bell, unleashed once again by Donghuang Taiyi, easily shattered the light screen of the firmament and landed on Penglai Immortal Island with its remaining force.
With a booming sound, Penglai Immortal Island split open from the middle and shattered into several pieces.
Many living beings, including Dong Wanggong, had their physical bodies torn apart, and instantly, countless Primordial Spirits scurried about in chaos.
