The Twenty-Third Battle of Kunpeng against Taiyi

  Dong Huang Tai Yi saw Emperor Jun being struck by Kun Peng, and hastily went forward to hold Emperor Jun. Although Emperor Jun spat out fresh blood, everything else was still stable. Dong Huang Tai Yi understood that Emperor Jun's cultivation had only been slightly damaged, and the problem wasn't too big.

  The Eastern Emperor Taiyi saw Emperor Jun and was not seriously injured, so he felt a little relieved in his heart. He scolded Kunpeng angrily: "Kunpeng, you are so bold! As a demon master, how dare you commit the crime of being below and above? What should you be punished for?"

  Kunpeng snorted and said, "Taiyi, put away your impudent face. You know better than anyone how I got this position as a demon master. Don't think that just because you have Nüwa's support, you can do whatever you want. First, you bullied and injured my disciple, so no matter what I do, it's reasonable."

  The Eastern Emperor Taiyi angrily said: "You're a good one, Kunpeng! You actually betrayed the Heavenly Court for these ants. From now on, there will be no more traitors like you in the demon tribe. If I don't kill you today, how can I account to those innocent people who died at your hands?"

  Kunpeng sneered, "This is all your own doing, don't blame others. You knew that the human tribe was under my protection, yet you ordered the demon tribe to slaughter the human tribe. You should have expected this day to come. You say I'm a traitor of the demon tribe? That's not a big deal. I've paid a lot for the demon tribe, and several demon saints present know it clearly. What did I get in return? You and Emperor Jun, as the Demon Emperor, are unfair in handling affairs, how can you make people convinced?"

  Dong Huang Taiyi saw Kunpeng reveal his true nature in front of everyone, and he was even more furious in his heart. He hastily said: "Kunpeng, it's useless to say more. Let's see who's stronger between us."

  Dong Huang Tai Yi has already beheaded two corpses, and there is a quasi-sage in the middle period of cultivation, whose strength is still above that of Yao Huang Emperor Jun. The Hun Dun Bell is also a pre-heavenly treasure, and under Dong Huang Tai Yi's angry strike, it directly rushes towards Kun Peng.

  Kunpeng let out a cold laugh, not dodging or evading, using the 'Pangu Ding' to forcefully resist the Eastern Emperor Taiyi's 'Hundun Zhong'. After just one loud crash, Kunpeng was still standing in his original spot with an easy expression.

  The Queen of the East Palace saw that her expression was involuntarily dim, she actually hoped that Dong Huang Taiyi could defeat Kunpeng to vent her anger, unfortunately, the result disappointed her greatly.

  On the edge of the Western Spiritual Mountain's Merit Pool, Zhunti greeted the guide and said: "Elder brother, this Kunpeng also has some abilities!"

  Jie Ying said, "The founder of Taoism once said 'the great way is three thousand, every one can prove the origin', it seems what he said is not false! Kun Peng has such cultivation, but it's not easy. However, that cauldron on his head seems to have an extraordinary origin."

  Zhun Ti said, "Elder brother's words are indeed correct. The Eastern Emperor Taiyi's 'Primordial Chaos Bell' is a pre-heavenly treasure. This cauldron's ability to withstand the attack of the 'Primordial Chaos Bell' is truly extraordinary, but unfortunately it is not an object from my Western realm."

  Kunlun Mountain Yu Xu Palace Yuan Shi Tian Zun saw Kun Peng and Tai Yi's fight, his face was expressionless, no one knew what he was thinking in his heart. While Bi You Palace's Tong Tian Jiao Zhu was full of smiles, muttering to himself: "Things are getting more and more interesting!"

  In the Eight Scenic Palace, Taishang Laojun saw that Ding on Kunpeng's head, and suddenly a sharp light burst out of his eyes, then returned to normal, as if he was thinking deeply.

  Dong Huang Taiyi saw that Kunpeng was unscathed and was slightly stunned, just as Kunpeng made his move. The 'Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Merit Ruler' flew swiftly towards Dong Huang Taiyi. For a moment, the fierce winds howled, as if the sky was filled with rulers, and the people and demons of both tribes were dazzled and couldn't open their eyes, so they retreated to avoid it.

  The Eastern Emperor Taiyi was thoroughly enraged by Kunpeng, and the chaotic clock in his hand emitted a series of ancient and urgent bell sounds. Every time the bell sounded, the momentum of the "Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Merit Ruler" would pause for a moment. Finally, just as the "Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Merit Ruler" was about to collide with the chaotic clock, it blocked its path.

  Dong Huang Taizi sneered, "Kun Peng, you're quite clever, timing your attack perfectly and forcing me to use my full strength to counter it. Since you've come at me without hesitation, I'll return the favor."

  The Eastern Emperor Taiyi finished speaking, and the 'Hunyuan Bell' slowly rose into the air. Suddenly, a brilliant light burst forth, and a wave of Hunyuan energy spread out, making the surrounding demons from the two tribes feel an overwhelming atmosphere. They all retreated a few steps before feeling slightly better. The Eastern Emperor Taiyi's hand holding the 'Hunyuan Bell' did not make any fancy moves, directly smashing it towards Kunpeng.

  Everyone present felt that the speed of the Chaos Bell was very slow and had no great power. But in Kunpeng's eyes, this 'Chaos Bell' almost flew towards him at the speed of light. The innate treasure is indeed extraordinary, it actually cut through space-time.

  At this time, Kunpeng's face was solemn, and he used the 'Pangu Ding' to protect his whole body. The 'Jiutian Yuanyang Gongde Chi' flew into the sky again, directly colliding with the 'Hundun Zhong', in an attempt to block Donghuang Taiyi's attack this time.

  In an instant, the 'Chaos Bell' and the 'Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Merit Ruler' collided. The 'Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Merit Ruler' only lasted for a moment after colliding with the 'Chaos Bell' before being knocked down. The 'Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Merit Ruler' was connected to Kunpeng's divine spirit, and Kunpeng felt his divine spirit severely injured, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Meanwhile, the 'Chaos Bell' directly collided with the 'Pangu Cauldron' on Kunpeng's head.

  At this moment, the 'Pangu Ding' on Kunpeng's head underwent a huge change. A burst of mysterious light shot out from the cauldron, absorbing the chaotic aura emitted by the 'Hunyuan Bell' after being struck by the 'Jiutian Yuanyang Gongde Chi'. At the same time, it also released a thread of mysterious yellow air to protect Kunpeng's heart.

  Kunpeng suddenly felt a sense of unease in his heart, but immediately he was overjoyed. He realized that at this critical moment, the mysterious yellow energy inside the Pangu Cauldron had protected him. With a thought, he revealed his true form and unleashed his ultimate move, "Kunpeng Whale Absorption", to assist the Pangu Cauldron in absorbing the chaotic aura emitted by the Hunyuan Bell.

  The people of the two tribes who were watching from all around looked at each other in confusion. The human tribe's cultivation was too low, and they couldn't see clearly what was happening on the battlefield, so they worried that Kunpeng would not be able to defeat Donghuang Taiyi, and they couldn't help but worry about their own safety. On the other hand, the demon tribe people were different from the human tribe people. After seeing the situation on the battlefield, they felt puzzled in their hearts as to why Donghuang Taiyi had not used his full strength to attack Kunpeng. In fact, this idea of theirs was completely wrong. The attack emitted by the "Chaos Bell" seemed slow and powerless in their eyes, but in reality, Donghuang Taiyi had already gone all out to exert the power of the "Chaos Bell", fixing the space, which gave them this feeling.

  Kunpeng was injured under the protection of "Pangu Ding" because he had been hurt by Nüwa before, and could not fully exert the power of "Pangu Ding". Otherwise, with Dong Huang Taiyi's current cultivation, it would be impossible to drive the "Hundun Bell" to harm Kunpeng who is protected by the acquired ultimate treasure "Pangu Ding".

  Just as both sides were at a stalemate, a shrill cry suddenly came from the Ninth Heaven. The demons were shocked to hear it, and Emperor Jun, who was treating his wounds, turned pale when he heard the cry. A stream of blood spurted out of his mouth, apparently having been startled by the cry, which worsened his injuries. He shouted loudly, "Withdraw!" and hastily flew towards the Heavenly Court.

  The Eastern Emperor Taiyi heard the cry and his face changed greatly, he stretched out his hand and beckoned, and the "Hunyuan Bell" flew back. Then he also hurriedly chased after the Demon Emperor Jun, but his pace when leaving seemed a bit slow, from which it can be seen how fierce his battle with Kunpeng was. The demons only then understood that the Eastern Emperor Taiyi had not shown mercy to Kunpeng's subordinates, and they eliminated their doubts.

  The numerous demons saw that the two Demon Emperors had already left, and they naturally knew that something major must have happened in Heaven. They all rushed to Heaven immediately, and in an instant, several hundred million demon soldiers and generals disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only the tens of millions of demon corpses that had been killed by Kunpeng at the beginning!

  Kunpeng did not go after Donghuang Taiyi, and when everyone left, he immediately sat on the ground to meditate and heal his wounds. It seemed that he was also seriously injured and had no strength to care about others. At this time, everyone did not notice that Kunpeng's 'Pangu Ding' still looked the same as before, but it had some Hunyuan Zhong's Hunyuan Qi. Everyone saw Kunpeng healing and didn't dare disturb him, so they just sat around Kunpeng's body to protect him.

  The struggle between Kunpeng and Donghuang Taiyi this time was a blessing in disguise. The 'Pangu Ding' was originally refined from the fragments of Mount Buzhou, which was transformed from the spine of Pangu, the great god. It inherently contained boundless primordial energy. However, as it supported the heavenly court for many years, it consumed a lot of its original energy. Moreover, Kunpeng only obtained some fragments and did not get the main body of Mount Buzhou. Therefore, the 'Pangu Ding' refined by Kunpeng was an acquired spiritual treasure that did not enter the innate realm. The main reason was that it lacked the primordial chaotic energy.

  Now, Kunpeng's 'Pangu Ding' has absorbed a large amount of chaotic energy from the 'Hunyuan Zhong'. It is evolving and may have the opportunity to become a congenital merit spiritual treasure in the future if it encounters great opportunities. It might be comparable to the innate ultimate treasure, the 'Qiankun Ding'!

  Kunpeng had been operating the technique for a long time, and finally hid all the chaotic aura in the 'Pangu Cauldron'. When he opened his eyes, he saw the concerned gaze of the crowd, and his heart was deeply moved. Wudao also woke up at this time, sitting beside him, looking like he wasn't seriously injured, which made Kunpeng feel a lot more at ease.

  Just as Kunpeng was about to say a few words to the crowd, a voice suddenly came from the sky: "The Taoist ancestor has an edict, ordering the demon master Kunpeng to go to the heavenly court immediately to hear the declaration!"
