The giant tail abruptly retracted, and the Devouring Emperor swung it again, sweeping towards the charging Guangchengzi and Taiyi Zhenren like a hurricane. Their expressions instantly changed. Guangchengzi roared, instantly enlarging his Heaven-Flipping Seal to the size of a mountain, and with immense force, he slammed it down upon the giant tail. Not to be outdone, Taiyi Zhenren wielded the Yin-Yang Swords, his blades surging and slashing with unwavering murderous intent, slashing at the Devouring Emperor's massive form. However, the swords struck the giant tail with only a clang, sending sparks flying, as if striking solid rock, unable to injure it in the slightest.
"Bang!" The Heaven-Flipping Seal was struck by the giant tail, and instantly, like a flying puppet, it slammed towards Guangchengzi. Unable to dodge, he screamed as he was smashed into the ground. The entire Kunlun Mountains shook violently, as if the earth itself was trembling with his screams.
"Junior Brother!" Taiyi Zhenren exclaimed, his heart pounding with anxiety. He combined the Yin and Yang swords, transforming them into a giant Zhitian Sword. The blade radiated a cold light, and under his control, he fiercely stabbed at the Devouring Emperor with endless murderous intent, as if to kill him with a single blow.
"Ding!" The giant tail swung out, catching the Zhitian giant sword and sending it flying like an arrow towards the distant palace. With a resounding "boom," the palace instantly exploded, a terrifying energy surge erupting, razing the surrounding buildings to the ground. Tiles and bricks flew everywhere, and smoke and dust billowed as if the entire world was collapsing.
Taiyi Zhenren was also entangled by the Devouring Emperor's giant tail and slammed heavily into Qilin Cliff. "Ah!" He screamed, plunging into the cliff face, creating a massive hole. Countless rubble tumbled from the clifftop, raising a cloud of dust. The entire Qilin Cliff trembled violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.
"Senior, let's go quickly! The noise is too loud, I'm afraid Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Laozi will come together!" Yu Kai came in front of Emperor Shi, his face full of worry.
"Hmph!" The Devouring Emperor snorted coldly. Although his anger was still lingering, he knew he was no match for the two men. He glanced coldly at Kunlun Mountain, as if warning everyone that he would be back.
Seeing the Devouring Emperor agree, Yu Kai immediately signaled to the Duobao Beast. "Master Beast!" he uttered as Duobao Beast flew over, clutching the Yin-Yang Swords and the Heaven-Flipping Seal. "Hehe! Now that we're here, why shouldn't we take something with us?" Duobao said with a grin, casually storing the two treasures in his Soul Sea.
The Devouring Emperor glanced at him, recognizing him as a fellow divine beast. Just as he was about to ask, his brows suddenly furrowed. He keenly sensed two powerful auras rapidly approaching.
"Oh no, Yuanshi Tianzun and the others are really here!" Emperor Shi said anxiously.
"Senior, please take us away quickly!" Yu Kai reminded anxiously.
The Devouring Emperor immediately enveloped Yu Kai, Duo Bao, and the beast with his spiritual energy. With a ferocious flap of his six wings, he streaked across the sky like a streak of golden lightning, instantly vanishing into the distance. Yu Kai and Duo Bao Beast, enveloped in spiritual energy, sped away at a rapid speed. Knowing that Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Laozi had arrived, they immediately mobilized their pseudo-god powers, completely isolating their auras.
Behind him, Yuanshi Tianzun's angry roar came: "Emperor Shi, Duobao, I will tear you into pieces!" His voice was like thunder, shaking the entire prehistoric world and scaring everyone into silence.
The Devouring Emperor, who was speeding in the distance, couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahahaha! This is the fate of imprisoning this emperor!"
"Senior, where are you planning to take us?" Yu Kai asked anxiously.
"I don't know either. What do you think?" The Devouring Emperor rushed forward at lightning speed, completely losing his direction.
Yu Kai was just about to mention the plan to go to the Nine Netherworlds to rescue Niuniu, but Duobao Beast took the lead: "Let's go to my Jin'ao Island! Emperor Shi, you just came out, so you should recover your spiritual power first. If someone chases us, I can ask Master for help. With Master here, we won't be afraid of two against two! Besides, I haven't been back for a long time, so it's a good time to go back and take a look." There was a hint of nostalgia and anticipation in Duobao's voice.
"How is it? Yu Kai!" The Emperor stopped running and turned around to ask.
Yu Kai was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Okay! You go and recover first." Under Duobao's guidance, Emperor Shi changed direction and flew towards Jin'ao Island in the East China Sea.
They were like a streak of golden lightning, piercing the sky and crossing the entire East China Sea. Finally, Jin'ao Island came into view.
Duobao gazed at Jin'ao Island below, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes. Jin'ao Island was still shrouded in spiritual mist, the Biyou Palace was still imposing, and the surrounding auspicious aura was steaming. The scenery remained the same. However, the once grand scene of thousands of immortals paying homage was gone. Now only silence and desolation remained.
"Tongtian really knows how to choose a place!" Emperor Shi looked down at the Jin'ao Island below and nodded slightly, as if he quite approved of the atmosphere here.
Suddenly, two immortal children holding sharp swords flew out, blocking their way and shouting, "Who has come to our Jin'ao Island? How dare you address my master by his name?"
"Hurry up and open the mountain gate to welcome me!" The Emperor's imperial power was overwhelming, and his aura was like a rainbow. The two boys were frightened and retreated repeatedly, their faces turning pale in an instant.
Seeing the two men frightened by the Devouring Emperor, Yu Kai immediately stepped forward and said gently, "Don't be afraid, my two young Taoist friends. We mean no harm. This man is also a disciple of your Jiejiao. He invited us here."
The two boys followed Yu Kai's instructions and looked at the Duobao Beast carefully.
Duobao asked softly, "Whose disciples are you? Is your master on the island?"
"Who are you? None of my disciples from Jiejiao are outside. Are you going to bully us young ones?" A boy pointed his long sword at Duobao with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
"My name is Duobao. I'm the eldest brother of Jiejiao. I just escaped from Buddhism." Duobao smiled slightly and introduced himself gently.
"What, you are Grand-Uncle Duobao?" The two boys were shocked, their eyes full of disbelief.
After looking at each other for a while, they immediately knelt in the air and said respectfully: "Yanfeng and Xueying pay their respects to our uncle-master!"
"Get up quickly!" Duobao hurried forward to help.
"Wuwu..." Xueying burst into tears. Duobao Beast felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked at the aggrieved Xueying. He had checked and found that they were the only two left on Jin'ao Island.
"Don't cry! Grandmaster is back!" Duobao Beast patted Xueying's shoulder gently and comforted her softly.
Yan Feng wiped his tears and choked up as he said, "Uncle Master! Ever since the Conferred God Tribulation, the master has never returned. All the immortal children and demon immortals were also afraid of the calamity and fled Jin'ao Island. No one comes here anymore."
"Then what's going on with you guys?" Duobao Beast's voice was filled with concern.
"We were originally spiritual creatures of the Biyou Palace. Suddenly one day, we awakened our spiritual intelligence and slowly transformed into monsters." Xueying wiped her tears and said hurriedly.
