Chapter 2989 – The Methods of the Empyrean Demon Cult

“Oh Jian Chen, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect to run into you on the Ice Pole Plane.” The grand elder, Cheng Ming, looked at Jian Chen and smiled warmly. He was extremely friendly to him, without the arrogance of a Grand Prime at all.

“Congratulations on reconstructing your body and reaching new heights, grand elder.” Jian Chen clasped his fist and congratulated him from the bottom of his heart. Afterwards, he looked at the mirror that projected the battlefield outside in front of Cheng Ming and asked, “Grand Elder, are you planning on destroying the Hefeng clan this time?”

The grand elder nodded. “Master has notified me to continue gathering some blood and soul beads, and this time, not only do the beads that master requires have to be of even higher quality, but he also needs them extremely urgently too.”

“Gathering the essence blood and energy of souls of some Godhood cultivators is nowhere near enough to refine higher quality beads in a short amount of time. All we can do is direct our attention to some greater organisations.”

“The Hefeng clan of the Ice Pole Plane just happens to have grievances with our cult, and without their Grand Prime ancestors, the Hefeng clan can no longer pose much of a threat to our Empyrean Demon Cult, which is why we chose them.”

Cheng Ming shifted his attention away from the battlefield and stared at Jian Chen profoundly. He said, “Jian Chen, you’ve coincidentally appeared at a time like this, so it must have something to do with the Hefeng clan, right?”

“You’re spot on, grand elder. My reason for coming here is indeed related to the Hefeng clan.” Jian Chen did not deny that. After a pause, he continued, “A friend of mine has been captured by an unknown Chaotic Prime. So far, I’ve already found out that the unknown Chaotic Prime fled towards the Hefeng clan, so I hope the grand elder can help me out and find this Chaotic Prime.”

“That’s nothing difficult. Don’t worry. As long as the Chaotic Prime you speak of is in the Hefeng clan, he definitely won’t be able to escape, as we’ve already secretly set up a spatial god artifact over the Hefeng clan. The spatial god artifact was bestowed to us by master. It doesn’t really have any offensive capabilities, but it can seal up a region of space.”

“Even most Grand Primes will struggle to escape from that region of space, let alone Chaotic Primes,” Cheng Ming said in guarantee. He had been long-prepared to deal with the Hefeng clan. Victory was already within his grasp.

“Yep. The formation is close to completion. Once the formation is complete, Blood Demon, Blade Demon, Wind Demon, and Cloud Demon can immediately destroy the Hefeng clan’s formation.” Cheng Ming began observing the battlefield and smiled faintly.

“The Hefeng clan’s protective formations of the past had been very powerful, enough to stop attacks from Sixth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes. If it were the past protective formations, then all we would be able to do is bring out the Heaven-linking Bridge. Unfortunately for them, the strongest formation of the Hefeng clan has already been destroyed by master. With all their Grand Prime ancestors dead, it’s obviously impossible for them to fully repair the formation with just a group of Chaotic Prime great elders. All they can do is carry out some basic repairs based around the original formation, such that it can only stop First or Second Heavenly Grand Primes.”

“Unfortunately for them, our Empyrean Demon Cult had just far too many methods to destroy a formation like that.”

“The Hefeng clan does have a few Infinite and Chaotic Primes. Once we destroy the Hefeng clan, we’ll basically be done with master’s mission.”

At this moment, the formations being assembled by countless cultists around the Hefeng clan were finally complete. As the formation began to operate, demon Qi immediately rushed into the air and swallowed the region.

The demon Qi could also block off the senses of the soul, so as the demon Qi spread, the powerful senses from various regions of the Ice Pole Plane were all blocked off. They could not get any closer.

At the same time, the four generals in the sky, Cloud Demon, Blade Demon, Wind Demon, and Blood Demon, exchanged glances before moving together. They fell into a square formation and arrived directly above the Hefeng clan, each pulling out a divine hall with a wave of their hands.

The four divine halls were identical on the outside. They seemed like huge castles, and they were all high quality god artifacts.

The four generals each stood on top of a demonic castle. As the energy into their bodies surged into the demonic castles, the castles immediately shone with endless black light, swallowing all the light in the surroundings. The tremendous energy from the demonic castles rapidly condensed into a profound formation in the air.

At this moment, Blade Demon took out a damaged halberd. The halberd was also a high quality god artifact.

However, the energy and presence from the halberd was extremely similar to the Hefeng clan’s.

“That’s the ancestor’s Storm Halberd!” The Chaotic Prime great elders in the Hefeng clan discovered the halberd through the protective formations and cried out involuntarily. Their faces were filled with undisguised sorrow.

The damaged halberd hovered in the formation created by the four demonic castles. As the formation operated, the damaged halberd that had already lost its artifact spirit suddenly let out a deafening boom, exploding in the sky.

The energy from the explosion did not spread out in all directions. Instead, it was firmly locked down in the centre by the formation of the demonic castles.

Cloud Demon, Wind Demon, Blood Demon, and Blade Demon formed seals at the same time before all pointing down at the Hefeng clan.

With that, the surging energy trapped by the four demonic castles immediately turned into a pillar of energy as if it had finally found a way out. Then it rushed towards the Hefeng clan below.

Within the Hefeng clan, a total of several dozen elders and great elders gathered together, all stern.

“Oh no!” But at this moment, a great elder cried out. Soon afterwards, all of them saw a colossal pillar of energy descend from the sky with a devastating presence.

In that moment, all the Primordial realm experts gathered in the Hefeng clan changed drastically in expression. They were filled with fear.

Boom!

Finally, the streak of energy from the Storm Halberd struck the protective formation of the Hefeng clan without letting any energy go to waste. The mountains shook.

The Hefeng clan’s protective formations lasted for less than five second before exploding loudly. However, the energy from the halberd did not weaken at all. After piercing the formation, it continued onwards with devastating ight, producing a bottomless pit on the ground. The powerful pulses of energy sent all the Primordial realm experts in the surroundings flying. Many structures collapsed.

The protective formation of the Hefeng clan had been instantly destroyed.

Of course, the power from detonating a high quality god artifact was much more than that. The high quality god artifact was just already damaged, so it was obviously weaker than it was blown up. That was why it did not devastate the Hefeng clan after getting through their protective formation.
