East Sea

The azure sea stretched to the endless horizon, majestic and vast, as if connecting the sky and the earth. Bright sunlight fell, glittering on the waves with a silver and gold luster.

Countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals made strategic moves between the mountains and seas, casting a Heaven and Earth Net, silently awaiting their prey to take the bait.

Only...

"That Red Cloud Ancestor actually went to create havoc in the Heavenly Court?"

"Where did he get the courage?"

Hearing the news from Demon Emperor Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi's brows tightened, finding it somewhat incredulous.

With today's prosperity of the Heavenly Court, that Red Cloud actually had the audacity to barge in; was he truly unafraid of death?

"Could it be a feint to lead the tiger away from the mountain?"

Donghuang Taiyi pondered thoughtfully.

Previously, the hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals led by Demon Master Mo Yuan had disappeared; could it be that their intentions had been exposed?

No, when had the Red Cloud Ancestor ever been so calculative?

"There are others? Then there's no problem."

Donghuang Taiyi suddenly realized.

After a brief contemplation, he still decided to have Demon Master Kunpeng Ancestor return to the Heavenly Court with him, while the other eight Demon Saints continued to stay in the East Sea, to prevent any further mishaps here.

Although this time they intended to pretend to subdue East King to draw out Red Cloud Ancestor, if the opportunity arose, he wouldn't mind turning the pretense into reality!

As long as they captured East King, the authority of the Heavenly Court would be unparalleled, and the Independent Immortals within the Primordial Heaven and Earth would lose a key pillar, making it no longer difficult for them to pledge allegiance to the Heavenly Court.

Soon, Demon Master Kunpeng Ancestor arrived.

Donghuang Taiyi indifferently briefed him on the situation, then summoned the Innate Treasure Chaos Bell.

"Dang!"

A bell rang out.

Donghuang Taiyi and Kunpeng Ancestor vanished into thin air above the East Sea.

...

Above the thirty-third heaven, in the Ancient Star Domain.

A magnificent Mountain and River Painting spanned across the starry sea.

At the center of the painting, Immortal Mountains soared, and Divine Rivers surged violently, with countless dazzling stars rotating around the mountains and rivers, rendering the painting even more mystical and magical.

Yu Yuan was within the painting, feeling the clouds encircling the Immortal Mountains and the turbulent waves of the Divine River, the Divine Power flowing as if purifying the turbidity of the world.

He slightly furrowed his brow, clenched his right fist, and suddenly unleashed a burst of dazzling golden light.

"Boom!"

Yu Yuan threw his fist, splitting heaven and earth, tearing through the void.

The Immortal Mountains, towering and grand, collapsed directly under this punch; mountain peaks tumbled, stones rolled down, shaking the Heaven and Earth. The Divine River raged, and waves rolled, but also ceased under this punch.

With this punch, Yu Yuan directly shattered the space, tearing the Mountain and River Painting, returning to the Ancient Star Domain.

"The Mountain and River Map… shattered?"

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Bai Ze Demon Saint's expression turned astounded, his face showing shock and surprise. His eyes slightly widened, and the voice he uttered trembled, laced with disbelief.

Though Bai Ze Demon Saint was ranked first among the ten Demon Saints due to his unparalleled intelligence, in terms of combat, with the many Spiritual Treasures he possessed, he would rank in the forefront among the Demon Saints.

The Mountain and River Painting was one of his treasured possessions, its power ranking in the top three among his numerous Spiritual Treasures.

Yet now, this treasure shattered in the blink of an eye, with countless fragments of the painting scattering like fluttering butterflies, causing his heart to twinge.

How painful!

On the other side, Ci Tie Demon Saint, holding the Black Iron Rod, lunged toward Red Cloud Ancestor like a striking Poisonous Snake.

The Red Cloud Ancestor's dispersing soul sand had just been broken, momentarily unable to gather more red sand for protection, forcing him to retreat and dodge in a flustered manner.

Ci Tie Demon Saint was certainly not going to miss this precious opportunity, chasing relentlessly behind, determined to capture Red Cloud Ancestor on the spot.

At this critical moment, Yu Yuan arrived just in time.

He clenched his fist, meeting Ci Tie Demon Saint's Black Iron Rod without hesitation.

"Bang!"

A loud noise as Yu Yuan's fist collided with the Black Iron Rod.

At this instant, the entire Ancient Star Domain shook.

The impact, like endless waves, sent visible spatial ripples surging in all directions, with the surrounding space being torn apart by the terrifying force in an instant.

The sight before everyone was chilling.

Numerous Ancient Stars suffered a tremendous blow.

Many Ancient Stars began to collapse internally after the impact, then shattered entirely, ultimately being drawn into the torn spaces, bursting out infinite light in the outpouring of earth, water, fire, and air, as if signaling the rapid extinguishing of their lives.

This was their final brilliance!

Under this earth-shattering strike, Ci Tie Demon Saint also staggered back several steps, the Black Iron Rod in his hand trembling, his eyes showing astonishment and surprise.

In terms of strength alone, he was the strongest among the ten Demon Saints!

Even those Ancestor Witches renowned for their strength, he did not take them seriously.

But now, he found that his own strength was not enough to withstand his opponent!

This made him doubt his adversary's identity.

Yu Yuan, however, remained as stable as a mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist at all times, radiating a powerful and mysterious aura.

He looked over at Red Cloud Ancestor, their gazes intersected, and they tacitly exchanged opponents.

Red Cloud Ancestor activated the Ninety-nine Souls Gourd, and a mighty surge of Divine Power burst forth from within the gourd.

The dispersing soul sand around him instantly inflated countless times, each grain of soul sand becoming as large as a star, shining brilliantly, emitting a scorching, red light.
