The dragon clan members appeared, quickly gathering behind the Four Sea Dragon Kings, united in their hatred and glaring at the demon clan.
Before the dragon clan could depart, an incident occurred, and the Four Sea Dragon Kings convened, narrowly resolving the situation.
As they were preparing to depart to aid Xu Fang, they witnessed the demon clan's army passing by, its might astonishing.
The Four Sea Dragon Kings knew this demon clan was here for Penglai Immortal Island, and their hearts ached. After a consultation, they hardened their resolve and ordered the entire dragon clan to mobilize.
If Xu Fang were defeated, they too would not survive. No matter what, they had to protect this good neighbor.
As the saying goes, a close neighbor is better than a distant relative, especially when that neighbor was Xu Fang, a neighbor with boundless potential and who had shown them great kindness.
When they gathered the dragon clans of the four seas, they certainly delivered a rousing speech, detailing the matters concerning the dragon clan, the demon clan, and Xu Fang.
Xu Fang's deeds had long been circulated among the dragon clan, who regarded him as a great benefactor. Upon hearing that the demon clan, who had once plotted against the dragon clan, was now plotting against their benefactor, they were all furious and clamored to fight.
At this moment, the dragon clan army was assembled here, filled with deep-seated hatred for the demon clan, wishing they could immediately charge forward and fight them to the death.
Seeing so many dragons appear, the great beings who had been watching from the sidelines were also filled with awe.
"I never imagined that the dragon clan would actually raise an army for Xu Fang alone and oppose the demon clan. What spirit! Xu Fang is truly enviable!"
"Indeed. It's fortunate we surrendered quickly earlier, otherwise, we would be facing the dragon clan army right now!"
"However, even if the dragon clan is not afraid to fight, with their strength, it is still too difficult for them to help Xu Fang and defeat the demon clan."
The great beings discussed amongst themselves, simultaneously relieved that they had surrendered, paid their dues, and avoided the pressure of the dragon clan army, thus saving their lives.
At the same time, they were not optimistic about the dragon clan's confrontation with the demon clan.
This was not because they held grudges against Xu Fang and were thus denigrating the dragon clan out of spite, but because the dragon clan was genuinely not up to par at this time.
As former overlords of heaven and earth, the terrifying power of the dragon clan was self-evident. In the past, they controlled the flooded lands of the Primordial Era, unmatched.
However, after the end of the conflict between Dao and Demon, the three races were mutually devastated in that great battle. The dragon clan retreated to the four seas, merely surviving by their wits.
Now, even if they raised a dragon clan army, facing the ascendant demon clan, what chance of victory would they have?
As the leaders of the demon clan, Di Jun and Dong Huang Taiyi naturally understood this point.
"Truly an ant trying to shake a tree, ridiculously overestimating themselves."
Di Jun looked at the dragon clan army and gently shook his head, not taking them seriously at all.
Dong Huang Taiyi nodded repeatedly, concurring.
"Elder brother speaks the truth. The mere remnants of the dragon clan are not worth fearing. We can take this opportunity to capture them all in one fell swoop!"
As Dong Huang Taiyi spoke, he looked towards the dragon clan and smiled.
"Originally, we intended to let you live a little longer, but since you've run into us, don't blame us!"
"Sons of the demon clan, heed my command! We will deal with these meddling dragons first, and then occupy Penglai Immortal Island!"
Upon hearing Dong Huang Taiyi's order, the demons responded in unison.
"Yes!"
Although it was only one word, with the simultaneous response of tens of thousands of demons, it created a tremor that shook the earth and echoed through the universe, startling the birds in the sky, which fled in haste.
The dragon clan members felt the imposing aura of the demon clan and were shocked. With the demon clan being so powerful, even if the dragon clan exerted all their strength, they might not be their match!
At this moment, looking at the demon clan surging towards the dragon clan like a tide, the dragon clan members felt their morale plummet, unsure how to respond.
Ao Guang, seeing this situation, quickly shouted.
"Fellow clan members, this time we are not only helping our benefactor Xu Fang, but also helping our dragon clan."
"The life and death of our dragon clan rests today. How dare we not fight to the death!"
Ao Guang's words, when heard by the dragon clan, immediately jolted them awake.
That's right, this was not only a mission of gratitude but also a decision that would determine the future survival of the dragon clan.
If the demon clan did not attack, the dragon clan would eventually be annexed. If they did not fight with all their might, where would their tomorrow be?
"Dragon Kings, we understand. Today, there is only death in battle!"
"To think that our dragon clan once possessed such glory, and now we must endure the humiliation of this demon clan. How can we tolerate this!"
"Indeed, even if we die, we must let this demon clan know the glory of our dragon clan, the former overlords!"
The dragon clan members roared, and immediately charged forward, engaging the demon clan in battle.
Instantly, sparks flew, and light erupted. Countless shouts and roars echoed to the heavens, a magnificent spectacle.
The beings present remained silent, quietly watching the battle between the dragon clan and the demon clan.
One was the former overlord of heaven and earth, the other the current dominant race. One sought to prove its former overlord glory, while the other sought to display its new overlord strength.
This battle between the old and new overlords was no longer solely for Penglai Immortal Island or the dominion of the four seas, but a battle that would have a profound impact on the Primordial Era.
However, as everyone had expected, despite their valiant efforts, the dragon clan was still merely a declining overlord of the Primordial Era.
Facing a new overlord like the demon clan, how could the dragon clan, far behind the wheels of history, contend with the ascendant demon clan?
In the beginning, they could still fight the demon clan on equal footing with their sheer courage. But as the battle progressed, the dragon clan began to feel increasingly overwhelmed, and their defeat gradually became apparent.
Seeing this predictable outcome, Dong Huang Taiyi let out a cold laugh.
"Heh heh! A race that has been eliminated by the times, not focusing on how to survive, yet dares to provoke our demon clan. Truly seeking their own destruction!"
Hearing these words, even those who were somewhat unconvinced did not know how to retort. The demon clan truly held all the advantages, and the dragon clan's demise was only a matter of time.
Dong Huang Taiyi's gaze fell upon Xu Fang, and he smiled with amusement.
"Xu Fang, the dragon clan perishes because of you. Do you feel no guilt? If you find it unbearable, you can hand over Penglai Immortal Island, and I will spare you for today."
As for after today, of course, the actions would proceed as planned. Whether it was Xu Fang or the dragon clan, they were all hidden dangers to the demon clan. Not a single one would be left alive; all would be sent away.
Xu Fang understood Dong Huang Taiyi's machinations and scoffed.
"Dong Huang Taiyi, stop dreaming. I wouldn't even bother to expose such a trick. If you want Penglai Immortal Island, come and take it yourself, if you are capable."
"Would the dragon clan not fight for me if you decided not to spare them?"
Facing Xu Fang's counterquestion, Dong Huang Taiyi did not pretend to be coy and nodded.
"I would not spare them then, but it would merely postpone their death."
Dong Huang Taiyi was confident of victory and disdained to put on a show. He shook his head as he looked at Xu Fang.
"However, taking Penglai Immortal Island is not difficult. Once the dragon clan is destroyed, how will you resist our demon clan army?"
At this point, Dong Huang Taiyi couldn't help but laugh.
"Could it be that at this moment, someone else will jump out to help you?"
As Dong Huang Taiyi's words fell, a voice rang out.
"Yo, Dong Huang Taiyi, since when did you have the ability to prophesy? How did you know I was going to jump out?"
