Zhu Rong suddenly noticed a hand on the table. She looked up at the owner of the hand and saw only a pair of cold, frost-like eyes.
"Gonggong!"
"Zhurong!"
"You guys are really something!"
"Gentlemen, as you can see, these two guys already had a grudge against me. When they came, I still greeted them with a smile and treated them without any mistreatment. I guess you could say I treated them with courtesy. But what about them... Heh!"
Di Jun let out a ferocious sneer, "You can't blame me for this!"
Before he finished speaking, he punched Zhu Rong in the face.
Zhu Rong leaned back to avoid it, then reached out and pulled out two fire snakes from the void, burning them towards Di Jun.
These two fire snakes may not seem particularly powerful at first glance, but they were actually formed from the primordial spirit fire.
Even though Di Jun was born from a three-legged golden crow on the Sun Star and was born with the ability to control the true fire of the sun, making him the ancestor of arson, he still dares not challenge its power.
Seeing the Heavenly Fire approaching, Di Jun dodged to the side, then dodged again and went outside the palace.
"Di Jun! Don't run away!"
"You bastard! I was just afraid you'd be too rough and ruin my cave! If you have the guts, come with me to the stars for a duel!"
Di Jun stopped, turned around and sneered, then challenged him to a duel.
"You think I'm afraid of you!"
Zhu Rong shouted loudly, stepped out of the main hall, and flew towards the starry sky ahead of everyone else.
"Brother Dao! I'm here to help you!" Gonggong also leaped after him.
With a flick of his wrist, Di Jun revealed a gleaming sword and flew into the starry sky.
Fearing that her husband would suffer a loss, Chang Xi rode on auspicious clouds and followed.
"Your Majesty! I'm here to help you!"
The great demon Xiang Liu roared and also swept away in a cloud of demonic energy.
"Let's also lend Emperor Jun a hand."
Although Kunpeng had always been dissatisfied with Dijun and coveted the throne of the Demon Emperor, he now had to pretend to be united in front of all the great gods.
"good!"
The group of powerful demons clapped their hands in agreement and followed behind Kunpeng...
Inside the hall.
The group of powerful individuals exchanged bewildered glances, never expecting that a joyous banquet would turn out like this.
A short while later.
Master Taiqing stood up, leaning on his cane, and shook his head with a sigh, "Never mind! Let's go and take a look too."
Yuqing Daoist and Shangqing Daoist also stood up.
Led by the Three Pure Ones, all the powerful cultivators rode auspicious clouds toward the battlefield.
Hu Le was also eager to see what was going on, so he carried the plain-colored cloud-bound flag and followed the crowd until they reached the edge of the primordial starry sky.
At this moment, Di Jun and his group had already engaged in battle. The scene was extremely intense, and in the ensuing aftershocks, all the stars were reduced to dust.
Di Jun and Chang Xi stood together, with the innate spiritual treasure He Tu Luo Shu above their heads, and rays of white light descended to protect them.
Di Jun, wielding a precious sword, and Chang Xi, holding a curved hook, each wielded their weapons in a fierce battle against Gonggong and Zhurong opposite them...
far away.
Kunpeng and other powerful demons also displayed their supernatural abilities, fighting against the human experts brought by Zhurong and Gonggong...
After Hu Le entered the Golden Immortal realm and saw more, he gained a new understanding of combat.
He didn't understand before why those powerful beings would give up fighting with supernatural powers and instead choose close-quarters combat.
Gradually, he came to understand that some great supernatural beings each wielded their own Great Dao, and ordinary supernatural powers and techniques were simply ineffective against them.
Only through close combat, where the great principles are worn down, can a true victor be determined...
At this moment, these experts engaged in close combat, unleashing their spiritual treasures and weapons, constantly eroding each other's Dao.
After another incense stick's time of fighting, apart from destroying a large number of stars, the two sides still had not determined a winner.
“Brother Taiqing, it seems they can’t determine a winner for the time being. Today is also Fellow Daoist Dijun’s birthday. How can blood be shed on such a joyous occasion? I think you should step in and persuade them to stop,” Dongwanggong suggested as he approached Taiqing.
Upon hearing this, the Taoist Taiqing nodded slightly and raised his hand to produce a black and white scroll.
This is the Taiji Diagram, a sacred artifact created at the beginning of time. It is surrounded by countless rays of light and auspicious colors. The "Great Dao Prophecy" surrounds it outside the diagram, and the "Heavenly Dao Talisman" is hidden within it.
Unfolding, five-colored rays of light illuminate the mountains and rivers, while nine-colored auspicious clouds awe the heavens and the universe.
It possesses the power to pacify earth, water, fire, and wind; the ability to transform yin and yang and the five elements; the skill to discern the mysteries of the heavenly way; and the capacity to encompass all things in the universe.
With a shake of the Taiji Diagram, the Taoist Taiqing created a white jade bridge that spanned the void and passed over Dijun and the others. Wherever it passed, the earth, water, fire, and wind all subsided, and the countless starlight stopped flowing.
Di Jun and the others all froze.
"Everyone, please stop fighting and listen to what this old Taoist has to say." The voice of the Taoist Taiqing rang out in the void.
When Di Jun and the others saw that it was Daoist Taiqing who had come forward, they gave him face and put away their spiritual treasures, preparing to listen to Daoist Taiqing's opinion.
Of course, the reason they stopped was that Taiqing Daoist was an incarnation of Pangu, and he had been spreading the Dao in the prehistoric world, possessing immeasurable merits, which was indeed worthy of respect.
Secondly, they also knew that, based on past experience, it would be difficult to determine a winner if they continued to fight like this.
Gonggong and Zhurong did not come here with the intention of killing Dijun with one blow; they simply wanted to annoy him on his happy day.
Now that the goal has been achieved and victory is not yet attainable, there is no point in continuing the conflict. It would be better to stop for now and listen to the opinion of the Taoist Master Taiqing.
However, based on their guesses, it was nothing more than trying to persuade them to give up and make peace...
Sure enough, the Taoist Taiqing then went on to say something about valuing harmony.
Gonggong and Zhurong seized the opportunity to back down, pointing at Dijun and shouting, "Dijun, you brat, we'll give face to Taiqing Zhenren today and let's not argue with you for now."
But don't get too excited yet; we'll settle our scores someday.
"What, you think I'm afraid of you?" Di Jun said coldly.
"Very good! I hope you can remain just as resolute even when you're at your wit's end!"
After uttering a harsh remark, Gonggong immediately left with Zhurong and his subordinates.
Di Jun merely glared fiercely at their retreating figures, his eyes filled with murderous intent, but he did not give chase...
And so, the grand drama came to an abrupt end.
Hu Le shook his head in disappointment...
With such a thing already happened, the banquet naturally could not continue. Sanqing was the first to take his leave, and everyone else followed suit.
Hu Le had no reason to stay any longer, and in the end, Bai Ze escorted him out of the Sun Palace.
And so, Hu Le boarded the cloud chariot again, and led by the heavenly soldiers and generals, embarked on his return journey...
Just like when they came, they returned to the Heavenly Court without incident. Hu Le immediately went to report to Taiyi, only to learn that Taiyi and the Empress were both in seclusion.
Although Taiyi went into seclusion, he still left behind a puppet to guard the Heavenly Court and manage its fortune for him.
However, that was not the real person.
Hu Le naturally wouldn't go to see him. Instead, he temporarily returned to his own palace, chatted with the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord for a while, and finally went to the back hall to cultivate...
