Chapter Thirty-Six: Blood Stains the East Sea

  The calamities of the vast wilderness are endless, but few calamities can affect the ocean. It is well known that the most prosperous part of the wilderness is the part where Pangu's body fell and transformed, but Mount Buzhou has gone through many great calamities and has been searched countless times by powerful gods, and it is not as good as the overseas regions.

  The peaceful Donghai cultivators were now surrounded by countless demon troops from all sides, as if the end of the world had arrived. The demon cultivators were generally stronger and more ferocious than those of Penglai, having experienced more slaughter. They must have thought that the Penglai cultivators were just a mob, not even worth mentioning.

  Dong Wang Gong should have known that his subordinates were no match, and now he could only rely on himself. If he could defeat Emperor Taiyi, everything would be fine; but if he lost the battle, he might end up dead and his Dao destroyed.

  Hiding one's head is death, sticking it out may or may not bring life, Dong Wang Gong also let go, waving the dragon-headed staff in his hand, shaking off his spirits, staring at Emperor Jun and Taiyi, the great powers of the demon tribe.

  "Emperor Jun, you little kid, why did you offend me at Penglai? I received the order from the founder of Taoism, and you dare to act like this without fearing heavenly punishment? Quickly retreat and there will be a way out for you, otherwise I'll have you become ghosts under the Dragon Head Cudgel."

  "Haha, Dong Wang Gong has a big tone, heavenly punishment? I founded the Heavenly Court, governing the vast expanse, and Heaven has already bestowed upon me the virtue of merit. You occupy the blessed land of the Eastern Sea, yet you don't know how to bring blessings to the people. Today your doom has arrived, I will carry out Heaven's will and eradicate this kind of degenerate."

  "Big brother, why bother talking to this dying person? I'll go and finish him off now." Taiyi said, raising the Donghuang Bell. With a light strike, a sound wave shot towards Dongwanggong, who swung his Dragon Head Staff to block the attack. However, the residual waves from the Donghuang Bell landed on the Eastern Sea cultivators, instantly killing tens of thousands of Tianxian cultivators.

  Taiyi took the lead, and with a loud shout, he seized the initiative. Dong Wang Gong watched as his own people fell to their deaths, yet he was powerless to stop it. Enraged, he staked everything on one final effort, swinging the Dragon Headed Cudgel straight at Emperor Jun and Taiyi.

  Leizhen Dashen also showed no weakness, urging the method of law, making the nine heavens thunder and lightning, directly attacking Kunpeng and Haitao. The six people were divided into two pairs, and the remaining demons were not weak either, directly killing their way to Penglai Island, massacring the Penglai monks.

  To say that Dong Wang Gong is indeed not good at leadership, the magnificent Penglai Island doesn't even have a decent island-protecting array, otherwise the demon tribe wouldn't be able to invade so easily. The Penglai Immortal Island was filled with rivers of blood and mountains of corpses for a time, countless cultivators fell, this is probably the largest-scale struggle among cultivators since the beginning of the Dragon Han era.

  The Donghai Penglai Island is shrouded in dark clouds, with cries of killing shaking the sky. Waves of resentment converge together, rushing straight up to the Ninth Heaven. At this moment, inside the Queen of Heaven's Palace, Nüwa is discussing the Tao with the Three Pure Ones.

  On that day, Fu Xi came forward with the intention of Emperor Jun to persuade Nüwa. Emperor Jun promised to give Nüwa two-thirds of the demon tribe's luck, on the condition that she would bind the Three Pure Ones and Zhu Ti to guide them. Nüwa thought for a moment and agreed, after all, she was now the most sacred person, and although the Three Pure Ones were noble, they had not yet become saints.

  Jieyin Zhun Ti was biased towards the Western side, and Nüwa thought they wouldn't join in the excitement, so she invited Sanqing to the Nü Huang Palace under the pretext of discussing Tao. When Sanqing heard Nüwa's invitation, they didn't dare to decline and came to the Nü Huang Palace.

  Four people just started discussing the Tao, and Laozi felt uneasy. He thought that this discussion of the Tao was not so simple, but he didn't know what was going on. Just as he was hesitating, countless resentful spirits flew up to the 33rd heaven. Laozi took a look and was shocked. After thinking for a moment, he understood the situation with the East Sea.

  Yuanshu also woke up instantly, and this Nüwa actually had such calculations in it. Yuanshu's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and Tongtian's eyebrows were also tightly raised.

  The Three Pure Ones originally had no intention of helping the Eastern King, but Nuwa's behavior made them feel humiliated and extremely angry. However, as Nuwa was a revered sage, the Three Pure Ones, who were not yet saints themselves, felt inferior and did not dare to lash out.

  "Nüwa's sister, we still have things to attend to in the mountains, so we'll take our leave for now. We'll come back another time to hear your teachings, sister."

  Laozi was about to leave, but Nüwa still wanted to stop him. However, even the sacred throne of the Chair Saint did not dare to oppress the Three Pures excessively, for they possessed the greatest treasure and had rendered supreme merit. It seemed that their ascension to sainthood was imminent, so Nüwa did not dare to intimidate them too much. She stood up to see them off.

  At this time, the outcome of the battle on the East Sea had already been decided. Dong Wang Gong had a precious treasure in his possession and was physically robust, making him unbeatable in close combat. Emperor Jun Tai Yi was somewhat flustered at first, but after dozens of rounds, Dong Wang Gong's momentum weakened significantly. Emperor Jun Tai Yi coordinated perfectly with Tai Yi, who launched the main attack while Emperor Jun provided support. Seizing an opportunity when Dong Wang Gong let his guard down, Emperor Jun swiped his paw at Dong Wang Gong's right shoulder. Activating his life-protecting True Sun Fire, Emperor Jun's hand transformed into a Golden Crow Claw in an instant. Even with Dong Wang Gong's robust physique, Emperor Jun managed to claw out several bloody gashes, fortunately without causing severe injury.

  Taiyi took advantage of Dong Wang Gong's slight daze, sneaked forward, struck the Dong Huang Bell, and the sound wave transformed into a line that directly hit Dong Wang Gong's primordial spirit.

  The physical body of the Eastern King is very strong, and compared to the Ancestral Witch, it's not much worse. Although he was hit by Emperor Jun's claw, it only looked intimidating and didn't affect his combat power at all. However, this Eastern Emperor Bell is a pre-heavenly treasure with boundless power, and it uses sound waves to directly attack the primordial spirit. Unfortunately, the Eastern King's primordial spirit is relatively weak, and he doesn't have a treasure to protect himself.

  It felt as if his soul was suddenly torn apart.

  Dong Wang Gong couldn't help but let out a miserable cry. Tai Yi was the kind of person who wouldn't show mercy to those in the wrong, and upon seeing Dong Wang Gong get injured, he threw out the Dong Huang Bell which landed squarely on Dong Wang Gong's chest. Although the Dragon Headed Cane managed to block it slightly, Dong Wang Gong still spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

  Di Jun's offensive also arrived, Di Jun urged the true fire of the sun to attack Dong Wang Gong's body, and used the Hetu Luoshu to transform into one illusion after another, disturbing Dong Wang Gong's mind. Taiyi found an opportunity to use the Dong Huang Zhong to heavily smash Dong Wang Gong's body. After being smashed a few times, Dong Wang Gong spat out countless blood, his physical strength decreased by nearly half. Dong Wang Gong knew it was difficult to resist and couldn't help but feel sad. Seeing Lei Ze being trapped by Hai Chao and Kun Peng, unable to come to his aid, even on the verge of defeat, he looked at the Penglai thousand-strong cultivators who were almost annihilated.

  The desolate mood of the Eastern King can be imagined, a generation of pre-heavenly great gods, the overlord of the Eastern Sea is about to fall today. The Eastern King is unwilling, he wants to live on, wants to take revenge on Emperor Jun, wants to see Emperor Jun die in front of him.

  As soon as Emperor Jun saw the crazed look in Dong Wang Gong's eyes, he knew that he was going to go all out. Emperor Jun had also witnessed Hong Yun's self-destruction before, and these pre-heavenly great gods had boundless magical powers, with their self-destructive might rivaling a saint's single strike, so he added a few more precautions.

  Dong Wang Gong's body suddenly swelled up, countless vital energy and blood seeping out. In an instant, Dong Wang Gong became a bloody man, every inch of flesh and blood writhing as if there was infinite power within.

  "Boom!" Dong Wang Gong's body exploded, and Emperor Jun and Tai Yi reacted at the same time, hastily hiding to one side.

  But at this moment, the Dragon Headed Cane seemed to come alive and flew quickly into the distance. Emperor Jun and Taiyi immediately understood that Dong Wang Gong's self-explosion was just a bluff to break through his encirclement and escape with his life. The Dragon Headed Cane was a pre-heavenly treasure, and Dong Wang Gong's primordial spirit attached itself to it as he fled towards the Desolate Expanse Continent.

  "Not good, hurry and chase him, don't let him get away!" Emperor Jun shouted loudly and chased after him.

  Caught a cold and posted late, sorry about that. Also heard that tickets can defeat the common cold virus...
