The demon race heard the heavenly voice of Patriarch Hongjun, and their spirits were greatly shaken.
They were depressed because the Wu clan retreated, and they inexplicably became the overlords of the Primordial Era.
Hearing such news at this moment, they were naturally happy.
"This way, it seems that even the Heavenly Dao approves of us, wanting our demon race to lead the creatures of the Primordial Era to quell the chaos. What great honor this is!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi smiled so widely his mouth could not close. This was recognition from the Heavenly Dao, true destiny!
As long as they defeated the Three Clans, they could make up for the battle they missed with the Wu clan and prove their overlord status to all beings in the Primordial Era.
"This is excellent. We have the approval of the Heavenly Dao, and later these saints will be nothing to fear."
Di Jun was also excited and immediately gave an order.
"Pass down the decree. Our demon race will obey the will of heaven and immediately dispatch troops to Penglai Immortal Island to attack the Three Clans, so that all beings in the Primordial Era will submit to the demon race and act on behalf of heaven!"
There were no objections from the demon race. They then dispatched generals, quickly assembled a large army, and majestically headed for Penglai Immortal Island.
The creatures of the Primordial Era, due to the decree of destiny, had no choice but to join the demon army and head to Penglai Immortal Island together.
Thus, the demon army grew larger and larger, its momentum pressing, and soon approached Penglai Immortal Island.
The Three Clans naturally would not sit idly by. They had already moved all their clans to the East Sea. At this moment, with Penglai Immortal Island as the center, the dense population of the Three Clans, each with a solemn expression, was on high alert.
The demon army stopped when it reached this point.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi immediately flew out, landed in front of both armies, and loudly announced the crimes of the Three Clans.
"Xu Fang defies the Heavenly Dao and is a sinner of the Primordial Era. You Three Clans, not knowing life or death, are still colluding with him, using the pretense of occupying Penglai Immortal Island to protect it, deceiving all beings in the Primordial Era?"
"Now, our demon race, following the will of the Heavenly Dao and obeying the command of Patriarch Hongjun, leads all beings in the Primordial Era to attack the Three Clans."
"Listen, members of the Three Clans, you are acting against heaven and will not have a good end. If you lay down your weapons and surrender, we can still intercede for you. Do not say we did not warn you!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi spoke with passion and fervor in front of all the beings.
To speak such words with the name of the overlord of the Primordial Era felt truly incomparable and exhilarating!
However, after he finished speaking, the members of the Three Clans looked at each other and laughed.
"Demon race? Overlords of the Primordial Era? Heh heh, just a dog of the Heavenly Dao!"
"You can't defeat the demon race, so you take it out on our Three Clans, right? What are you?"
"What are you? Just dogs of the Heavenly Dao. Our Three Clans would rather die here than be dogs for someone else and change to a so-called overlord of the Primordial Era!"
The members of the Three Clans spoke one after another, mocking the demon race. The demon race was furious, but the members of the Three Clans ignored them and continued to speak to the beings who had come to assist.
"Friends of the Primordial Era, do you truly believe that obeying the so-called will of heaven will lead to a good end?"
"Indeed. Heaven's Dao wants you to attack our Three Clans today, but perhaps tomorrow it will want you to attack your own clan or faction. If you do not resist now, when will you?"
"Fellow Daoists, think carefully. They say Daoist Xu Fang is causing chaos, but what chaotic deeds has he actually done?"
"He just likes treasures. There are countless cases of killing and plundering in the Primordial Era. Xu Fang doesn't seem to kill people after taking their treasures, does he?"
"And Heaven's Dao wants them to attack the Three Clans today, but who knows when there will be another decree from Heaven's Dao, asking them to attack their own side. What then?"
Seeing that the beings' minds were wavering, Eastern Emperor Taiyi knew something was wrong and quickly shouted.
"The Three Clans are facing death and still dare to spread seditious words. Are these words not evidence of disrespect to the Heavenly Dao?"
"Since the Three Clans are determined to die, we shall fulfill their wish. Attack!"
With Eastern Emperor Taiyi's command, the demon army moved forward in unison, charging.
The army of the Three Clans also fought back fiercely and rushed forward, clashing with the demon army.
Suddenly, the great battle between the demon race and the Three Clans erupted, and the East Sea became a battlefield!
The beings who had followed the demon army also had no choice but to rush forward.
However, because of the words of the Three Clans just now, they were holding back, just going through the motions.
Seeing this, the army of the Three Clans left a small portion of their clan members to engage in a perfunctory fight, while the rest of the army focused their full strength on dealing with the demon army.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi was furious. Were these guys here to watch a show?
"It's fine. They are either necessary or unnecessary. The key is our demon race."
Di Jun saw Eastern Emperor Taiyi's unhappy expression and comforted him.
"Follow me. We will capture the leaders of the Three Clans, and the army will naturally disperse!"
Di Jun said, and his figure flashed. He took a group of demon saints and generals to find the leaders of the Three Clans: the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, Kong Xuan, and Mo Yu Qilin.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi also followed. To catch the king, one must first catch the leader. As long as these few were captured, the army of the Three Clans would be no problem!
Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the brothers, led a group of demon saints and generals, completely surrounding the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, Kong Xuan, and Mo Yu Qilin.
The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas and the others fought hard, but the opponent had too many numbers, and they were exhausted. In this situation, they could not escape, let alone help the members of the Three Clans?
Eastern Emperor Taiyi saw this and became even happier.
In this situation, capturing these few would only be a matter of time. He never expected things to go so smoothly!
Thus, Eastern Emperor Taiyi could not help but laugh.
"Haha! It's useless. Your stubborn resistance is just the struggle of a cornered beast. My elder brother is a half-step saint. He is an invincible existence here!"
The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas and the others could not refute this.
Although Di Jun was not a saint, this half-step saint was already a great suppression to them, making it difficult to resist.
Seeing this, the demon race's morale soared. This time, they were sure to win!
However, at this moment, a voice rang out.
"Heh heh! I heard there's a half-step saint here, and you think you're invincible? Then I wonder, if I, a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian equivalent to a saint, am I invincible among the invincible?"
Even though the East Sea had become a battlefield with constant shouts and chaos, this voice reached the ears of every being present.
"Who? A saint!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi was shocked. That arrogant fellow claimed to be a saint. Saints were all on the side of Heaven's Dao, weren't they? How could he help the Three Clans?
"It's me!"
The voice sounded again, followed by a great pressure that swept across the entire field, making all the beings present tremble.
This was the pressure of a saint, so similar to the pressure that swept across the heavens and earth when those few saints achieved enlightenment!
"Ancestral Dragon?"
The beings present followed the pressure and saw a long-lost figure, exclaiming in surprise!
How was this possible? This old fellow had not fallen during the great war of the Three Clans?
