Zhuyuan Great Emperor chuckled lightly: “What wouldn’t I dare to do?”

Youhe Demon Venerable said coldly: “I never expected Zhuyuan Great Emperor to have such a move! Then don’t blame me for fighting to the death!”

Zhuyuan Great Emperor didn’t care at all, naturally thinking his opponent was referring to the Zhuyuan Fist technique. He was quite satisfied with Youhe Demon Venerable’s reaction—this move was indeed impressive.

Youhe Demon Venerable naturally assumed Zhuyuan Great Emperor had admitted it, his expression darkening to the extreme.

At this moment, several demon venerables transmitted messages: “Youhe, my Starry Sky Fruits, along with some treasures, have vanished into thin air!”

“Mine too!”

“It was definitely Zhuyuan who took them! Who would have thought the master of the Celestial Court would stoop to such methods!” Youhe Demon Venerable’s anger surged!

“This is absolutely intolerable! Those were the foundations of Primordial Chaos, the very essence of law origins! They were actually stolen by Zhuyuan Great Emperor! And all the treasures I accumulated over multiple Yuan Assemblies were taken too! I’ll fight him to the death!”

The anger levels of all demon venerables were skyrocketing.

Even those who hadn’t been robbed were furious. The Starry Sky Fruits represented their share of benefits too. Now that the fruits were gone, their benefits naturally vanished as well. How could they tolerate this?

Zhuyuan Great Emperor noticed that these demonic powerhouses had suddenly undergone a complete transformation in demeanor, as if they had suddenly gained a strong collective purpose.

The originally somewhat scattered Nine Nether Demon God Formation actually stabilized again within half a breath after being attacked.

Moreover, these fellows recovered in the blink of an eye, all glaring at him with fury.

They each sprayed essence blood or activated precious trump cards, and in the next instant, they all charged toward Zhuyuan Great Emperor simultaneously!

Zhuyuan Great Emperor’s pupils contracted sharply!

A life-and-death crisis instantly enveloped his mind!

He never expected all twenty-seven demon venerables to suddenly fight with their lives on the line!

The terrifying attacks instantly surged toward him!

“Help me!”

He couldn’t help but shout toward Taiyi Sage Lord and the others.

However, these people also changed expressions when they saw the attacks launched by the demonic cultivators, immediately hesitating.

Even the powerhouses from the Celestial Court were half a beat slow.

Thus Zhuyuan Great Emperor alone bore the hate-filled attacks from twenty-seven demon venerables, especially the eight highest-level demon venerables who directly adopted life-risking stances. Their losses were too great, driving them nearly to the point of losing reason.

The terrifying attacks instantly surged toward him!

Zhuyuan Great Emperor directly used the Zhuyuan Celebration Cloud to protect himself, but those attacks still broke through the cloud’s defense, then shattered the Earth Element Spirit Armor’s protection, tearing hundreds of wounds across his body. The entire person was even sent flying backward through several star domains!

While Zhuyuan Great Emperor was under attack.

An invisible large hand had already appeared within his storage treasure.

Su Yuan grew even more excited and thrilled when he saw Zhuyuan Great Emperor’s treasures.

Without another word, he directly enveloped a large portion of the treasures, then instantly activated the ability of his innate talent [World Traveler].

Countless precious treasures instantly crossed through layers of space, even traversing the barrier of the Realm Sea, arriving in another Realm Sea—the Realm of Gods Sea.

Completely cutting off any possibility of Zhuyuan Great Emperor tracking down these treasures or tracing them!

Countless violent and terrifying attacks fell upon Zhuyuan Great Emperor.

While being attacked, Zhuyuan Great Emperor remained conscious. He immediately sensed a force appearing out of nowhere within his storage treasure.

His expression changed dramatically, but still under attack, he couldn’t react in time. By the time the attacks weakened slightly, he already saw that nearly half of the treasures in his storage treasure had vanished without a trace!

Among them were treasures from the Celestial Court’s long-term inventory, treasures he had kept for himself, and even the rare resources he had prepared for his closed-door cultivation to break through to the Primordial Chaos Supreme Great Luo Golden Immortal realm—all had disappeared!

Such losses directly made Zhuyuan Great Emperor’s heart ache to an unimaginable degree. He even became completely stunned!

Such a blow hadn’t happened to Zhuyuan Great Emperor for who knew how many eons.

However, Zhuyuan Great Emperor’s powerful mental state quickly recovered.

His first thought was to figure out who had stolen the treasures. He immediately ruled out the possibility of the demon venerables opposite him, then immediately thought of that passerby from before!

“Damn it! Those five Starry Sky Fruits must have been tampered with! I was still greedy, actually storing them in my storage treasure!”

Zhuyuan Great Emperor immediately recalled the five Starry Sky Fruits that had been delivered to him out of nowhere at the beginning. The possibility that those five fruits had been set up was ninety-nine percent!

Zhuyuan Great Emperor had to admit that greed had clouded his judgment. A super powerhouse at the complete Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal level could actually be affected by greed—his mental cultivation still wasn’t sufficient.

Moreover, that passerby’s subsequent move to help him resist the formation’s suppression must have been a second attempt to place some mysterious means on him!

Finally, taking advantage of the demon venerables’ attacks creating defensive vulnerabilities, that mysterious person seized the opportunity to steal the treasures!

A perfectly linked chain of events!

If he had been more cautious from the beginning, storing those five Starry Sky Fruits separately… If he had been more wary of that mysterious person afterward, not accepting their so-called help… If only…

No ifs!

Zhuyuan Great Emperor had already regained his calm mental state. The losses were already a fact;
currently, dealing with the demonic cultivators was more important.

However, reinforcements from the demon world had already arrived.

Because the battle scene in the starry sky was too grand, it had long attracted the attention of powerhouses from both immortal and demon realms.

Thus, other powerhouses from the demon world had timely arrived—twenty powerhouses coming to rescue Youhe Demon Venerable and the others.

When Youhe Demon Venerable saw that Zhuyuan Great Emperor had only suffered some injuries, his expression completely collapsed.

The combined life-risking attacks of twenty-seven Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortals had only caused some injuries to Zhuyuan Great Emperor! Although those injuries looked like they would take a long time to heal, their losses weren’t small either!

Zhuyuan Great Emperor’s power made him feel suffocated. Such an existence was actually his opponent!

Youhe Demon Venerable gritted his teeth and swallowed his losses, saying to the demons: “Let’s go!”

Twenty-seven demon venerables attacked simultaneously, coordinating with the demon world powerhouses outside to break the Four Symbols Rotation Formation. Then all demons fled toward the direction of the demon world.

Zhuyuan Great Emperor’s expression darkened as he looked at Taiyi Sage Lord, Epoch Primordial Dragon, and Golden Fur King.

Taiyi Sage Lord said apologetically: “What just happened was too sudden—we couldn’t react in time!”

Epoch Primordial Dragon said directly: “I sensed something ominous! Couldn’t make a move!”

Golden Fur King was taken aback. He gave Epoch Primordial Dragon a strange look, then also said: “I also felt something wasn’t quite right!”

Zhuyuan Great Emperor snorted coldly and stepped forward, arriving at the previous location of the Starry Sky Fruit Tree.

Under the contention of various saints, the Starry Sky Fruit Tree had already been torn into pieces.

Zhuyuan Great Emperor waved his hand, and all the split branches, leaves, including parts that had been destroyed into powder, seemed to reverse time as they gathered together again, forming a complete Starry Sky Fruit Tree that took root again on Tian Shu Star. Except for the fruits that had been completely picked, it looked no different from before on the surface.

Seeing this, Taiyi Sage Lord asked somewhat puzzled: “Great Emperor, do you think it can bear another batch of fruits?”

“Perhaps!” Zhuyuan Great Emperor said slowly, “You may leave now!”

Golden Fur King immediately laughed: “Great Emperor, those who see it deserve a share! We all fought together, all on the immortal world’s side. This tree should have my share!”

Zhuyuan Great Emperor said calmly: “If you want a share of this fruit tree’s future yield, we need to establish a closer alliance. The level of cooperation in the Immortal Alliance is still too low!”

Golden Fur King immediately looked troubled. He glanced at Epoch Primordial Dragon and asked: “Old Dragon, what do you think?”

Epoch Primordial Dragon also fell into hesitation as he looked at that Starry Sky Fruit Tree.

The tree looked ordinary, but the previous Starry Sky Fruits had indeed come from this tree. This made him also fall into difficulty, unsure whether this fruit tree could still bear Starry Sky Fruits containing law origin essence in the future.

Clearly, Zhuyuan Great Emperor now wanted them to declare their stance, using this Starry Sky Fruit Tree as an opportunity.

There was an element of gambling involved.

Epoch Primordial Dragon suddenly recalled Zhuyuan Great Emperor’s previous methods, remembering how he had just withstood the combined attacks of demonic powerhouses alone.

So he said: “If the Great Emperor has ideas, this dragon is willing to give it a try. If this fruit tree bears fruits in the future, the Dragon Clan should have a share!”

As soon as his words fell, the two True Dragons beside him looked at him.

Epoch Primordial Dragon gave them a look, and the two True Dragons nodded thoughtfully.

The two beautiful women from the Phoenix Clan exchanged glances and also agreed: “We support the Great Emperor’s proposal.”

Seeing this, Zhuyuan Great Emperor’s expression immediately became much more pleased.

After these people declared their stance, others gradually followed suit.

No one was willing to give up this foundation of Primordial Chaos. Even if there was only a possibility, it was already enough. Giving up now would undoubtedly isolate oneself—the gains wouldn’t outweigh the losses. With the trend of the times, all forces present today formed a more cohesive alliance.

All powerhouses became affiliated with the Celestial Court, holding nominal positions within it.

With twenty-five powerhouses joining the Celestial Court, the court’s fortune suddenly rose by a large margin!

Zhuyuan Great Emperor immediately felt the feedback of fortune.

Under the massive feedback of fortune, Zhuyuan Great Emperor—who had already been stuck at a bottleneck—immediately showed signs of breakthrough. Perhaps the great mental fluctuations earlier had given him rare mental training, thus granting him this thread of breakthrough opportunity. The old man lost his horse, but it all turned out for the best!
