Chapter 27: The Great War of Penglai Island

  Di Jiang and a few others walked while chatting, finally seeing the large whirlpool in front of them. Di Jiang flew up to take a closer look and found that it was actually the Xiantian Sancai Great Array. This array had the effect of hiding and defending, no wonder Penglai Island was so hard to find.

  Several people did not hesitate, following the steps of left three circles and right three circles, suddenly entered into the Penglai Fairy Island inside the Sancai Array. But what appeared in front of Emperor Jiang was a scene that made him puzzled and couldn't figure out.

  Only to see that in the place where they appeared, a large circle of monks surrounded the edge, with as many as 10,000 people. These 10,000 monks stood in fixed positions, vaguely forming some kind of formation.

  Di Jiang couldn't help but furrow his brow, all 10,000 cultivators were Taiyi Xuanxian cultivators, and there were even a few Jinxian cultivators among them. This should be the entirety of Dong Wanggong's elite forces, so how did they all suddenly appear here?

  Before Di Jiang could finish thinking, the 10,000 cultivators suddenly moved, and the atmosphere of heaven and earth changed. A strong sense of oppression rushed forward, scaring San Ye and Zhao Gongming into a burst of exclamations.

  It was actually the Wanxian Great Formation, and Emperor Jiang was also surprised in his heart. Wasn't this something that Tongtian Sect's ancestor only used in the Sealing God War? How did Penglai Island have this formation?

  Before Emperor Jiang could think much, the Great Array of Ten Thousand Immortals had already been activated. The surrounding scenery became blurry and indistinct. The auras of ten thousand cultivators converged together, pressing down on Emperor Jiang's five-man team. Emperor Jiang was still okay, but he felt as if his entire body was stuck in a muddy swamp, making it somewhat difficult for him to move. As for San Ye and Zhao Gongming's four-man team, they were directly pressed to the ground, unable to budge.

  "Sister, what's going on? Why are they using the Wanxian Great Array to trap us few small Golden Immortals?" Bi Xiao was shocked by this powerful array and couldn't help but ask Yun Xiao beside her in fear.

  Yun Xiao didn't say a word, he just took a deep look at Emperor Jiang who was still standing there, and the few of them were mostly implicated by this guy.

  Looking at this grand and majestic formation, Emperor Jiang couldn't help but understand that it was aimed at himself. If he were dealing with just a few small Golden Immortals, would he need to set up such a massive Million Immortal Array? The only thing Emperor Jiang didn't understand was how his identity had been exposed.

  "Emperor Jiang's ancestor is visiting, why didn't you notify me in advance? I could have prepared and warmly welcomed him." Just then, a voice came, confirming Emperor Jiang's speculation.

  San Ye and Zhao Gongming were shocked, lying on the ground. This gentle-looking Taoist priest was actually Zu Wu Emperor Jiang, famous throughout the Hong Huang! The four of them couldn't accept it for a moment, especially Bi Xiao, who had just mocked him and now felt a chill in her heart.

  "I didn't expect the Eastern King to be so enthusiastic, I had just arrived and he found a million monks on the island to welcome me, it really moved me." Emperor Jiang said, calmly approaching the four Zhao Gongming who were paralyzed on the ground, with a wave of his hand, they were sucked into the Qiankun Ding.

  Dong Wang Gong burst out laughing, "Emperor Jiang Zu Wu's strength is unparalleled, known as the number one person under the Dao Ancestor, and deserves such a grand welcome from so many people."

  "It seems that you, Dong Wang Gong, are very sincere, but why don't you dare to come out and meet me? Hiding in the array is not the way to treat a guest." As Emperor Jiang spoke, he sensed a great crisis in his heart. If Dong Wang Gong really dared to appear, he would have to capture him at the first opportunity, only then could this crisis be resolved.

  "No rush, I'll be right out to meet you, haha."

  Di Jiang didn't dare to hesitate, the Blazing Flag of Departure was summoned to protect him in front, the Qian Kun Ding hung above his head, his left hand held the Hong Meng Quantian Chi, and his right hand grasped the Invincible Brick.

  Seeing the many treasures on Emperor Jiang's body, Duke Dong's eyes shone brightly. "I didn't expect Emperor Jiang to bring so many gifts over, how courteous."

  "You really think you can take me down? The Small Thousand Immortal Formation is nothing to me." Since a battle was unavoidable, Emperor Jiang did not want to lose momentum.

  At this time, the Eastern King had not yet responded, when a great Luo Jinxian initial stage cultivator suddenly appeared, rushing towards Emperor Jiang, and at the same time said: "Emperor Jiang, you are too arrogant, today I, Wuyou Sanren, will see how I can kill you."

  Di Jiang's expression solidified, this Wu Liu San Ren although only had the initial cultivation of Da Luo Jinxian, but in the Wan Xian Great Array with other cultivators' power added, for a time his strength actually increased to be on par with Di Jiang's. And Di Jiang's own strength was suppressed by quite a bit in the Wan Xian Great Array, under this situation, dealing with Wu Liu San Ren would still be somewhat troublesome.

  "Who are you to dare speak to me like that?" Emperor Jiang said with disdain, his body not moving an inch as he saw Wu Liu Sanren rush over.

  Wu Liu Sanren was enraged when he saw Emperor Jiang's arrogance, abandoning his defense and launching a full-scale attack. He swiftly swung the crutch in his hand at Emperor Jiang.

  Good opportunity, Emperor Jiang's eyes flashed with a sharp light. This Wu Liu San Ren was still too tender and had been provoked by his own words, launching a full-force attack that was full of openings. Emperor Jiang's figure flashed as he tried to dodge the blow, then launch a counterattack, but found himself constrained by the formation, unable to dodge for the time being. Emperor Jiang didn't hesitate; since he couldn't dodge, he would take the hit head-on. You hurt me with one rod, I'll take your entire life.

  Di Jiang's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he seized the opportunity to grab Wu Liu Sanren's weakness, carrying his crutch to charge forward.

  "Daring to resist me with this rod and also blocking my retreat route, it's simply seeking death. This Emperor Jiang is nothing more than that."

  Wu Liu Sanren saw through Emperor Jiang's movements and couldn't help but sneer, wondering if he still had the ability to counterattack after being hit by his own staff. As soon as he thought about it, the staff in his hand had already struck Emperor Jiang's shoulder. However, what shocked him was that Emperor Jiang didn't seem affected at all after being hit, not even flinching, and then a golden brick-like artifact struck Wu Liu Sanren's head, causing his primordial spirit to momentarily go blank.

  Di Jiang endured the severe pain coming from his shoulder, picked up Wu Liu San Ren who was knocked to the ground by himself, and sealed his primordial spirit with a finger on his forehead.

  "Eastern King, are your subordinates no better than this? They can't even withstand a single move from me."

  Dong Wang Gong's face turned iron-green at this time, Wu Liu San Ren was the third strongest in the Penglai Island forces except for him and Xi Wang Mu. Unexpectedly, under the blessing of Wan Xian Da Zhen, he still wasn't a match for Emperor Jiang.

  "Since you, Dong Wang Gong, won't speak up, I'll teach this impudent monk a lesson on your behalf." Emperor Jiang said, grabbing the now ordinary-looking Wu Liu San Ren and saying coldly: "You just said I was arrogant and wanted to kill me, well, now I'll let you take a good look at my arrogant demeanor."

  Looking at Emperor Jiang's bloodshot eyes, Wu Liu San Ren was so frightened that he couldn't say a word. Suddenly, with a loud slap, Emperor Jiang's large hand forcefully slapped his face. The force of the slap was more than Wu Liu San Ren could bear, and a shrill cry of pain rang out, echoing through the Great Array of Ten Thousand Immortals, accompanied by the rhythmic slapping sounds, startling many cultivators who were maintaining the array.

  "Die, Emperor Jiang!"

  Dong Wang Gong could no longer bear it, this was not just slapping Wu Liu San Ren in the face, but completely and utterly slapping his own face, and that too in front of all his subordinates. If he didn't make him stay here today, how would he be able to stand tall on the Hong Huang Continent in the future?

  The Wanxian Grand Array suddenly surged, and for a moment its power was fully unleashed. Emperor Jiang felt his strength being suppressed by half, without hesitation, he slapped the last palm on Wuyue Sanren's face, Wuyue Sanren's primordial spirit dissipated, and he fell softly to one side.

  "I'm going to kill you." Just as Emperor Jiang was about to kill Wu Liu Sanren, Dong Wang Gong finally appeared. The dragon-headed cane struck Emperor Jiang's body without mercy, and he couldn't dodge in time. He was directly knocked flying out, and despite having the Li Di Yan Guang Flag and Qian Kun Ding protecting him, he still spat out a mouthful of blood.

  "Quasi-Saintly Power!" Emperor Jiang slowly got up, coldly staring at Duke Dong.

  Dong Wang Gong saw Emperor Jiang being injured by his own rod and couldn't help but feel relieved, laughing loudly: "Not bad, this is the true power of the Wanxian Great Array, while suppressing the enemy's strength, it can also transfer the magical powers of other cultivators in the array to one person. Now my strength has reached the quasi-saint realm, you'd better surrender and accept your death."

  "But it's just a pseudo-holy, wanting me to die. I'll see how long the array-setting monks can hold on, if they can't hold on before I die, then I'll let the entire Penglai Island be destroyed in the chaos." Emperor Jiang said fiercely, looking at the confident Dong Wang Gong in front of him.

  "Haha, do you think you can hold on until then? Even if you have the乾坤鼎 and 离地焰光旗 to defend yourself, how many moves can you block from me? Two or three?" Dong Wang Gong seemed to have already seen Emperor Jiang falling at his feet, and for a moment, he laughed even more triumphantly.

  Di Jiang didn't say another word, his eyes fixed on Duke Dong Wang, paying attention to his every move.

  Dong Wang Gong couldn't help but laugh, and with a sudden swing of his staff, he struck at Emperor Jiang. Emperor Jiang, who had been on high alert, dodged the attack with all his might, and the staff barely grazed his shoulder as it swept past. But just as Emperor Jiang regained his footing, Dong Wang Gong struck again, this time too quickly for Emperor Jiang to dodge. The dragon-headed staff hit him squarely in the chest, causing his blood to churn violently, and he almost spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

  Both power and speed were no match for the opponent, Emperor Jiang didn't expect that he would also have a time when he was completely suppressed by someone else. A bitter smile appeared in his heart, now he couldn't get close to Dong Wang Gong's body, perhaps using instant movement to catch him off guard could still counterattack, but unless it was a fatal blow, otherwise he wouldn't be able to turn the tables. Emperor Jiang quickly thought of a solution in his mind, if this instant transfer strike still didn't work, then he could only absorb the merits of the Qian Kun Ding to improve his cultivation, but what he feared most was being killed by Dong Wang Gong with one blow while absorbing the merits.

  Di Jiang was thinking when he was hit by Dong Wang Gong with two sticks, Di Jiang spat out two mouthfuls of blood, but still managed to get up and continue to dance with Dong Wang Gong.

  "Haha, I've heard that the Wu tribe's physical body is extremely strong, not something an ordinary cultivator can compare to. At first, I didn't believe it, but now that I've seen you, I finally do. If it were an ordinary cultivator, after being hit by so many of my whip strikes, they would likely have their physical body shattered already, and it's a wonder they could even escape with their yuan Shen intact."

  "Look, just shut up and use your magic to kill me quickly, I'm afraid those 10,000 cultivators won't be able to hold on for much longer."

  "It only takes an instant to kill you, and the beating I just gave you was merely to vent my anger." said Dong Wang Gong with a smile.

  Di Jiang's heart tightened, could he still have some hidden tricks?

  Dong Wang Gong looked at Emperor Jiang and revealed a cruel smile. He suddenly shouted: "Xiao Sheng Cao Bao, speed up your attack."

  As Dong Wang Gong's voice fell, two people suddenly appeared in the Wan Xian array, one of whom held a golden ingot with wings and quickly ran towards the Li Di Yan Guang flag in front of Emperor Jiang.

  "Not good, falling treasure money!" Emperor Jiang looked at the gold coin flying towards the Departing Flame Banner and felt a great sense of foreboding.

  At this moment, the dragon head of Dong Wang Gong struck Emperor Jiang again. At this speed, just as the Flame Flag was about to fall, Emperor Jiang would be hit by the staff. Perhaps Dong Wang Gong thought that he could kill Emperor Jiang with one blow, so he used all his magic power on this blow, without leaving any magic power for defense.

  Di Jiang's eyes lit up, go all out!

  The golden money smoothly stuck to the Liudi Yan Guang flag, and Emperor Jiang instantly lost control of it. The Liudi Yan Guang flag fell to the ground, and Cao Bao quickly rushed forward to grab it. At this time, the dragon head cane was about to hit Emperor Jiang's body, and the light shield defense emitted by the Qiankun Ding was instantly broken. Just as Dong Wang Gong was about to reveal a victorious smile, Emperor Jiang, who was thought to be on the verge of death, suddenly disappeared from his original position. Dong Wang Gong was greatly shocked, and his divine consciousness quickly searched for Emperor Jiang's whereabouts, only to find that he had appeared behind him, leaving him momentarily stunned.

  Only to see Emperor Jiang holding the Invincible Golden Brick in his right hand, heavily slapping it on the back of Dong Wang Gong's head. Dong Wang Gong only felt dizzy and his primordial spirit fell into a brief blankness. Emperor Jiang didn't dare hesitate, and with his left hand, the Hongmeng Quantianchi also struck out. A loud crash was heard as Dong Wang Gong's head suffered another severe blow. Only to see him spouting out many golden blood from the back of his head, and his body's magical powers violently fluctuating.

  "Space Shattering Fist, still not enough to break you." Emperor Jiang let out a loud roar, all the spiritual energy in his body gathering onto his right hand, a sharp fist once again striking towards Duke Dong. Duke Dong's mind had just cleared up, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Emperor Jiang's unstoppable fist coming straight for him, scaring his three souls into turmoil, immediately gathering the spiritual energy on his own body to defend himself.

  With a loud crash, Dong Wang Gong flew far away like a deflated balloon, his chest covered in blood and flesh, golden blood gushing out. His power instantly dropped from the quasi-saint realm to the late stage of the Golden Immortal realm. The Great Array of Ten Thousand Saints shook violently, on the verge of collapse.

  This Shattered Void Fist did not disappoint, Emperor Jiang looked at his own fist and couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile. This was the new divine ability he had comprehended after breaking through to the late stage of the Mahayana Golden Immortal realm. Today was the first time he used it, and unexpectedly its destructive power was so astonishing.

  Di Jiang looked at Dong Wang Gong lying in the distance and the collapsing Wanxian Great Array, suddenly flew up, his magical powers gathered on his right hand again, and shouted: "The small Wanxian Great Array, still not broken for me."

  With a punch into the air, the precarious Wanxian Great Array could no longer hold on and collapsed with a loud crash. The mist in the array slowly dissipated, revealing one by one the terrified Penglai Island cultivators.

  The Emperor Jiang looked at these monks and smiled slightly, "Were you very happy when you just trapped me? Now it's my turn to be happy."
