Chapter 2539 - The Army of Death
Chapter 2539: The Army of Death
The grand elder’s orders soon reached the various leaders in the Empyrean Demon Cult. Immediately, demonic aura surged from various places within the divine hall, and powerful energy pulsed.
The attack on the Cloudsurge Empire was a grand operation that the Empyrean Demon Cult had planned for a very long time. They had always been gathering soldiers across the years. As a result, over eighty percent of the Empyrean Demon Cult’s forces were gathered in the branch. Now that they all showed themselves, it formed an earth-shaking sight. The terrifying presences cascaded together, and it was to the point where even the divine hall failed to keep it concealed. It began expanding outwards.
There were heavy, evil presences of death among these presences. They were especially powerful. The heavy sense of death they gave off was enough to send chills down the spines of Primordial realm experts.
“What’s happening? Why have so many powerful presences suddenly appeared? What is the Empyrean Demon Cult doing?”
“This presence of death seems to be able to devour all life. Just sensing the presence makes my life force surge in an attempt to leave my body.”
The expressions of the protectors from the Tian Yuan clan all changed as they shivered. All of them became restless.
Xu Ran became stern as well. Her eyes became extremely deep as they shone like two streaks of light. She directly looked in the direction of the presence. She thought to herself, “Does this presence come the army that is rumoured to be the most terrifying in the Empyrean Demon Cult, the Army of Death?”
Suddenly, everyone felt the divine hall they stood in shake. The dark divine hall suddenly took to the skies. It turned into a streak of black light, and with a swish, it shot through space and vanished. It moved extremely quickly.
Meanwhile, the black-robed old man that the Golden-striped Silver Snake had transformed into had invited over a few fellow subjects in the imperial palace of the Cloudsurge Empire. They had gathered in a luxurious hall.
His name was Tian Sheng, and he was well established in the Cloudsurge Empire. He was on good terms with most of the subjects in the Cloudsurge Empire.
Tian Shang had been heavily wounded by Xu Ran. His body had been cut in half. Even though he had reconnected the two parts, wounds still lingered, and he needed several years to make a full recovery.
As a result, he seemed pale-faced and haggard at the moment. He was sickly.
“The Tian Yuan clan of the Cloud Plane is far too bold. They’ve actually come to our Delight Plane to make trouble…”
“Not only did they make trouble, but they were even so arrogant about it. They actually injured a subject of our Cloudsurge Empire. That’s like a slap to our empire’s face…”
“That’s a huge provocation of our empire. We have to make them pay a heavy price…”
“We should pass down orders immediately to seal up the teleportation formations so that they can’t leave the Delight Plane. Once the Rain Abbess and everyone else returns, we will report it to her. We will kill our way onto the Cloud Plane and destroy the Tian Yuan clan. We will demonstrate the strength of our Cloudsurge Empire to everyone on the Delight Plane…”
“Tian Shang, lead the way. We’ll destroy them together…”
After learning about what Tian Shang went through, the four subjects gathered present were all furious. They spoke righteously as they gave off powerful presences.
As the greatest organisation on the Delight Plane, only Chaotic Primes had the right to hold the position of subject of the empire.
“There’s an extremely powerful old woman among them. She’s a Fifth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime at the very least. We’re barely enough to deal with her.” Tian Shan shook his head gently. Even though there were five Chaotic Primes gathered here, their cultivation levels were the same as his. They were all early Chaotic Primes, so there was still a difference between them and Xu Ran.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a man in red armor walked in. He gave off a fiery presence.
With his entry, the temperature in the entire hall rapidly rose.
“So what if she’s a Fifth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime? Since she’s bold enough to infringe on our Cloudsurge Plane, we can’t let them leave the Delight Plane alive,” said the armored man coldly and emotionlessly.
“Jin Yan, why’ve you come?” Tian Shang beamed with the man’s appearance. He immediately stood up to receive him with all the other subjects. They showed great respect.
Jin Yan was an extremely powerful subject within the Cloudsurge Empire. He was a Sixth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime.
“Tian Shang, once you find them, I’ll kill them all,” Jin Yan said coldly and powerfully.
“Haha, with brother Jin Yan taking action personally, the people from the Tian Yuan clan of the Cloud Plane will obviously be done for.” Tian Shang laughed aloud and immediately left with the subjects in an aggressive manner.
At the same time, the space near a fortress on the boundary of the Cloudsurge Empire suddenly trembled. A black streak of light shot over with pulsing energy and unbelievable speed, straight into the empire.
The black streak of light was a colossal divine hall. However, it was simply too fast, so people failed to even see its appearance. As a result, it just seemed like a streak of black light that vanished with a flash.
The fortress of the empire was naturally protected by powerful formations. The formations reacted as soon as they sensed the approach of the divine hall. They completely activated and bright light enveloped the fortress.
Boom!
With a deafening rumble, the black divine hall directly collided with the formations. The formations immediately collapsed, reduced to nothing by the towering walls of the divine hall. Many of the soldiers and cultivators who flowed in and out suffered as casualties, dying to the terrifying energy.
The black divine hall paused before speeding up once again, charging right into the Cloudsurge Empire.
The Empyrean Demon Cult openly attacked the Cloudsurge Empire, without any attempt at concealment, as there was no need for them to be sneaky given their influence.
“It’s the demonic castle of the Empyrean Demon Cult. It’s the demonic castle…” A bloodied old man hovered within the surging energy. He was the general stationed there and was an Infinite Prime. He had been heavily injured by the powerful energy.
He looked in the direction that the black divine hall had travelled off, and he could sense that something bad was about to happen. He became extremely stern.
The current emperor of the Cloudsurge Empire, Ye Yizhan, was in the imperial study. He was dealing with the major matters of the empire. Suddenly, the imperial seal he had placed on his table shone with dazzling light.
Ye Yizhan’s expression immediately changed slightly. He became fixated on the imperial seal and became stern.
The imperial seal was not just for inheriting the position of emperor. It was also the core control for the Formation of Cloudsurge and Rainflood for the empire.
The formation was extremely powerful. It had been cast down by the greatest expert of the Delight Plane, the Rain Abbess. Aside from the Rain Abbess, everyone else needed to use the imperial seal to control the formation.
The imperial seal was the core of the formation, having fused with it. If anything happened to the formation, he could check through the imperial seal.
“Something major has happened in the empire! The imperial seal has sent a warning!” Ye Yizhan said sternly. He suddenly pressed his hand onto the imperial seal and controlled the entire formation through it to check what was happening.
“The Empyrean Demon Cult! It’s actually the Empyrean Demon Cult!” Ye Yizhan cried out. He became extremely solemn. All the peak experts of the Cloudsurge Empire had left with the Rain Abbess. The strongest people in the empire right now were only Chaotic Primes. The Empyrean Demon Cult had attacked right when they were weak, which gave him an ill omen.
At the same time, the armored Jin Yan and the four other subjects left the imperial city with Tian Shang. They were planning to exact revenge on Jian Chen and the others.
“Strange. I actually can’t sense the venom I left in that person.” Tian Shan frowned outside the imperial city.
However, at this moment, a streak of black light shot over with unbelievable speed. Space shifted and distorted wherever it passed by. The powerful pulses of energy directly produced pitch-black cracks in space.
