Seeing that the demon race had already taken a dislike to the East King Duke, who was still happily chatting with the Four Sea Dragon Kings, Xu Fang couldn't help but admire the man.
This master of seeking death, how could he always pinpoint the exact moment to court disaster?
This time, in front of so many beings, the East King Duke had angrily rebuked the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the foremost expert of the demon race, forcing him to retreat.
After all this, the East King Duke suffered no losses. Instead, he used this opportunity to skyrocket his reputation.
After all, to silence the foremost expert of the demon race with words was no small feat. The beings of the Primordial Era were full of admiration for the reputation the East King Duke had gained, and countless beings, upon hearing of this, would flock to join the Immortal Court.
However, Xu Fang knew that this seemingly advantageous move by the East King Duke hid a great peril, one that would bring about his own death.
Would the East King Duke, when facing the Chaos Bell in the future, regret his actions today?
At present, although the Eastern Emperor Taiyi had done nothing, the Chaos Bell was already furious and ceaselessly cursing.
"East King Duke! You are going too far! What skill is there in bullying others with power? If you have the nerve, don't mention the Dao Ancestor Hongjun!"
The Chaos Bell ranted and raved, and after cursing the East King Duke, it did not stop, turning its fire onto the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
"And you, you coward, why are you so useless? You're called the foremost expert of the demon race, yet you didn't make a move directly and let me smash this smug fellow to bits!"
Faced with the towering rage of the Chaos Bell, the Dragon Head Crutch, the East King Duke's magic treasure, immediately issued its solemn declaration.
"This magic treasure hereby announces that everything said and done by the East King Duke is unrelated to the Dragon Head Crutch, which is this magic treasure. If anyone seeks to hold anyone accountable for the East King Duke's words, please do not involve this magic treasure. This is a formal declaration!"
Since learning of the East King Duke's identity as a pawn, the Dragon Head Crutch had become the clearest-headed being in the Primordial Era. Seeing the East King Duke courting death in such a manner, it naturally distanced itself immediately.
However, some relationships cannot be severed just by saying so. The Chaos Bell, upon hearing this, immediately found a new target for its vent.
"A declaration? Hmph! You are not only insulting the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, but you are also insulting me! Do you think a few mere words of declaration can absolve you? Dream on!"
"Just wait. When the Eastern Emperor Taiyi understands the Dao Ancestor's attitude, it will be the time for your Dragon Head Crutch to shatter and the East King Duke to perish!"
Upon hearing these words, the Dragon Head Crutch wanted to retort.
However, when it thought of the East King Duke's position in the Dao Ancestor Hongjun's heart, it found itself utterly unable to argue and became dejected.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Measuring Ruler could not hold back and immediately spoke.
"Why are you sighing like that! Are you really that cowardly? You claim to be the symbol of the leader of the male immortals, how dare you!"
The Heavenly Measuring Ruler cursed with frustration. The Dragon Head Crutch was too much of a slacker, causing even magic treasures to look down on it, especially those belonging to Xu Fang's faction.
When they faced the siege of many powerful beings and the invasion of the demon army, when were they ever so devoid of fighting spirit?
The Dragon Head Crutch did not respond, displaying an attitude of "I'll be a slacker, that's just how I am." The Heavenly Measuring Ruler felt like it had cursed into the void, so it turned its anger towards the Chaos Bell and roared.
"What? That demon race fellow, you're shouting so fiercely. Do you want to come up and spar with the treasures of our Xu Fang Group?"
"Haha! The weather is nice today, I'm going to sleep!"
The Chaos Bell chuckled and fell silent.
The East King Duke's treasures were weak and easily bullied, but Xu Fang's treasures were all fierce fighters. Having just witnessed the Grand Array of Treasures, it was still wary and unwilling to provoke these magic treasures.
"Useless trash, not a single one worth fighting!"
The Heavenly Measuring Ruler shouted indignantly, feeling a sense of loneliness from being too powerful.
Xu Fang, listening to the bickering of the magic treasures, couldn't help but smile and transmitted a message to the Heavenly Measuring Ruler.
"Alright, alright, stop putting on an act. It's time for us to make our move."
As Xu Fang spoke, he looked towards the battlefield, his smile gradually fading, replaced by solemnity.
The Immortal Court joined the battlefield, giving the Dragon Clan a chance to breathe. Once the Dragon Clan recovered, they allied with the immortals of the Immortal Court and launched a counter-offensive against the demon race.
The demon race was once pushed back and forced to retreat repeatedly, seemingly on the verge of defeat under the combined forces of the Dragon Clan and the Immortal Court.
However, soon, as the demon race became accustomed to this kind of fighting, they stabilized their formation and continued to contend with the allied forces of the Dragon Clan and the Immortal Court.
Yet, anyone could see that, in comparison, the Dragon Clan and the Immortal Court were clearly inferior to the demon race.
"This is not surprising. After all, the demon race has fought countless battles over the years, while the Dragon Clan has survived precariously for many years, and the Immortal Court has only just been established."
A powerful being well-versed in warfare explained the changes in the battle to everyone.
"So, in comparison, even though the Dragon Clan and the Immortal Court appear to be surging with momentum, they are actually far inferior to the demon race!"
Everyone present nodded in agreement.
Indeed, the Dragon Clan now consisted of mere remnants. They had fought with all their might for survival over the years, where would they find the time for rigorous training? Compared to the imposing might of the demon army, they were far behind the demon race, the new overlord.
As for the immortals of the Immortal Court, before they joined the Inborn forces, they were nothing more than carefree wanderers. Even with their great abilities, upon arriving on this battlefield, they lacked coordination. Instead, the more they fought, the more chaotic it became.
Under such circumstances, although the Dragon Clan and the Immortal Court appeared to have the upper hand, once the demon race stabilized their footing, they began to show signs of counter-attacking.
"If this continues, they will eventually be defeated!"
Xu Fang looked at the battlefield, then at Zhen Yuanzi and others beside him.
Things had returned to the initial situation, making it seem as though the Dragon Clan and the Immortal Court had come for naught.
"At that time, we will still have to rely on all of you, fellow Daoists!"
Zhen Yuanzi and the others nodded silently. They could not leave Penglai Immortal Island to assist the allied forces. Even if they knew they would fail, they could only watch and prepare for the defense of Penglai Immortal Island.
The East King Duke and the Four Sea Dragon Kings looked at the battlefield situation with furrowed brows.
How did it feel like they were about to lose?
On the demon race's side, Di Jun and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi were overjoyed to see this situation.
"They are merely a bunch of scattered soldiers, yet they dare to contend with my demon race warriors. It is truly laughable."
Di Jun shook his head. If the battle continued at this pace, it would only be a matter of time before the demon race broke through the allied forces.
Once this allied army was broken, they could once again attack Penglai Immortal Island. Moreover, they would have weakened the Dragon Clan and the Immortal Court, making it much easier to deal with them in the future.
The Eastern Emperor Taiyi was also extremely pleased. He looked at Xu Fang and immediately began to mock him.
"What? Xu Fang, at this point, have you still not repented? Hand over Penglai Immortal Island quickly. Can you bear to see the Dragon Clan and the Immortal Court shed blood and sacrifice for you like this?"
Seeing Xu Fang's indifferent demeanor, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi chuckled and couldn't help but mock him again.
"Could it be that at this time, someone will still jump out to help you? No way, no way, you still have this thought?"
The Eastern Emperor Taiyi thought that his words earlier had drawn out the East King Duke. If he said it again now, no one else would jump out, right?
However, as soon as the Eastern Emperor Taiyi finished speaking, a voice rang out.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, I'm sorry, I'm late! Eastern Emperor Taiyi, how dare you mock him so!"
