Chapter 2706: Chapter 2706: The Sudden Appearance of the Demon Emperor

The battle between the six top factions and the New Imperial Palace is closely watched by the entire Immortal Realm.

The outcome of this battle is not only crucial for the survival of the six top factions and the New Imperial Palace, but it will also have a profound impact on the Immortal Realm.

The various sects and Loose Cultivators of the Immortal Realm, fed up with the oppression from the six top factions, naturally hope for the victory of the Palace to reshape the Immortal Realm’s order and restore a fair, peaceful, and harmonious environment.

However, before the winner is decided, they can only keep this idea to themselves, not daring to openly express it.

Otherwise, if the Palace were to be destroyed by the six top factions, the Immortal Realm would remain the same, and these Immortals would continue to live under the shadow of the six top factions.

Except for a few sects and Immortals who have explicitly expressed support for either the Palace or the six top factions, the majority wisely remain neutral.

Claiming neutrality is actually just watching and waiting for the direction.

Once one side gains an advantage, some sects or Immortals among them will be unable to resist joining the side in the ascendancy.

The battle at the Emperor’s Palace has continued for more than ten days without a clear victor.

All Immortals know that, given the evenly matched situation, this is destined to be a prolonged conflict.

Those sects or Immortals who initially did not favor the New Imperial Palace thought it would quickly collapse under the thunderous attack of the six top factions.

They did not expect the new Palace to not only withstand the assault of the six top factions but also fight them to a standstill.

According to some circulating rumors, the Emperor’s Palace Master, with a single force, fought against three top Immortal Emperors without defeat, greatly hindering the six top factions’ offensive.

The other three top Immortal Emperors were also entangled by six Immortal Emperors stationed within the Palace, unable to extricate themselves.

As for the tens of thousands of Immortals under the six top factions, when attacking the less than ten thousand Palace Immortals, they were thwarted by the Palace’s layers of Formation. Not only did they fail to harm a single Palace Immortal, but they suffered heavy losses instead.

Through this information, some observant sects or Immortals understand that by relying on the numerically superior Emperor Realm Experts and the protective Formations surrounding the Palace, it has already maintained an unbeaten position in this battle.

Although the current strength of the War Emperor cannot be compared with his power from a thousand years ago when he fought against eight top Immortal Emperors, now only six remain.

Moreover, the Palace has been well-prepared in anticipation of this great battle, with seven Immortal Emperors assisting, making it unlikely for the six top factions to eliminate the New Imperial Palace.

One can imagine that if in this battle the six top factions cannot undermine the Palace, then the Palace will firmly establish its footing in the Immortal Realm, and some sects or Immortals who were neutral will undoubtedly choose to side with the Palace.

If this happens, the strength of the Palace and the six top factions will shift, possibly even reverse, causing the Palace to shift from defense to offense.

The six top Immortal Emperors understand this more clearly than anyone.

Hence, for them, this battle must be won and cannot be lost.

If victorious, the Palace will be destroyed, and the six top factions will continue to rule the Immortal Realm.

If defeated, it will mark the beginning of their decline.

Tens of thousands of Immortals from the six top factions surround less than ten thousand Palace Immortals, with repeated attacks and pauses, paying the price of thousands of fallen Immortals, yet still unable to breach the Formations around the Palace.

The battle between the six top Immortal Emperors and Fang Bai along with the Palace’s seven Immortal Emperors also remains in deadlock.

No one can predict when the winner will be determined.

One day, a Demon Emperor unexpectedly tore the void and appeared at the battle site, joining the Red Lotus Immortal Emperor and Qingtian Immortal Emperor’s side, attacking Fang Bai along with them.

"Carefree Immortal Emperor!"

When the three Immortal Emperors recognized the Demon Emperor’s figure and appearance, they realized he was the City Lord of Bluewater Immortal City, a legend who fell into the Demon Dao after cultivating the Heaven Devouring Art, the Carefree Immortal Emperor.

Red Lotus Immortal Emperor and Qingtian Immortal Emperor were puzzled, not understanding why the Carefree Immortal Emperor was helping them.

Nonetheless, the Carefree Immortal Emperor’s addition immediately gave them the upper hand, filling them with secret joy.

Despite the hostility between the Demon Clan and Immortals, at this moment, Red Lotus Immortal Emperor and Qingtian Immortal Emperor see Fang Bai as a life-or-death enemy, and they are willing to team up with the Demon Emperor to kill him.

Seeing the vacant gaze of the Carefree Immortal Emperor, Fang Bai realized he might be under mental control; otherwise, with the ruthless and unbridled nature of the Demon Clan, he would not merely attack him.

And who could control such a powerful figure as the Carefree Immortal Emperor? From the three realms, Fang Bai could only think of the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor.

The Heaven Devouring Great Emperor, who had been elusive, was a lingering shadow over Fang Bai’s heart; thus, at the thought of him, Fang Bai’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately released his Divine Sense to detect the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor’s whereabouts.

Although Fang Bai had severely injured the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor earlier, as time has passed, Fang Bai does not know what recovery he has made; if he has recovered seventy to eighty percent, his combat power equates to that of a top Immortal Emperor.

And in the current nearly evenly matched battle, if the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor and Carefree Immortal Emperor joined the six top factions, it would be an extremely unfavorable outcome for the Palace.

Fang Bai worried the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor would interfere in the battle, yet unexpectedly he indeed arrived.

Spatial fluctuations appeared as a rift opened, and a shadow flickered out from within.

"Hehehe..."

Upon hearing this eerie, cold laugh, Fang Bai realized the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor had arrived.

The aura emanating from the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor indicated his power had not fully returned to its peak; he was not in a state to confront Fang Bai alone, but he could match any of the six top Immortal Emperors.

"A Carefree Immortal Emperor and a Heaven Devouring Great Emperor comparable to a top Immortal Emperor, their appearance is indeed untimely!"

Fang Bai sighed secretly in his heart.

The Heaven Devouring Great Emperor resented Fang Bai for seizing his Great Emperor Pill and the Spatial Demon Ring; after fleeing, he sought a secluded location to focus on healing.

Once his injuries had recovered seventy to eighty percent, he was eager to reappear in the Immortal Realm, seeking Fang Bai’s trail to reclaim the Great Emperor Pill and the Spatial Demon Ring.

Later, news of the newly constructed Imperial Palace spread, causing a stir in the Immortal Realm; inquiring circumspectly, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor learned that the Palace Master was the Immortal who had seized his Great Emperor Pill and Spatial Demon Ring.

Yet, with tens of thousands of Palace Immortals, several Immortal Emperors on guard, and the formidable opponent Fang Bai, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor dared not confront them directly.

Thus he lay in wait, silently biding his time.

He later encountered the Carefree Immortal Emperor who had fallen into the Demon Dao; the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor subdued him, controlling his mind for his own use.

Seeing the six top factions join forces against the Palace, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor realized his chance had come.
