Chapter 3274: The Sovereign Appears Again
Above the Dong’an province, above the formation, the deafening rumbles rang out endlessly. The assailant was a Fifth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. He attacked the defensive formation around the Dong’an province without stopping as the powerful shockwaves turned into a storm of energy, ripping through the sky as it wreaked havoc in the surroundings.
It was noon right now, so the sun should have been shining high in the sky, but the Dong’an province had sunk into darkness.
“You lot sure have gone to the lengths to set up such a powerful formation in a place like this. The strength of this formation is probably almost close to the defensive formations of your clans.” The formation remained standing despite such a lengthy assault, so the Fifth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime could not help but become irritated. He glanced at the experts behind him resentfully.
Some of the experts gathered there immediately became awkward. Afterwards, a middle-aged man dressed in green stood forward and said, “You can’t blame us. After all, the Tian Yuan clan was under the ninth majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng’s protection in the past. The ninth majesty even claimed to be a vice clan leader of the Tian Yuan clan. It was not like we knew that Jian Chen was just the Anatta Grand Exalt’s fruit of ways and their relationship was not that close. We obviously were not bold enough to offend them under those circumstances.”
“Let alone us, even you would have made the same decision if you were in the same position,” someone rebuked.
“The matters of the past are in the past. There’s no point in discussing them any further. The Tian Yuan clan humiliated us back then, so we’ll make them pay a thousand fold today. However, the formations in and around the Dong’an province are highly optimised, such that they’re extremely complicated without many vulnerable openings. The best way is still to breach it by force,” an old man in black said coldly. Afterwards, he arrived before the formation in a flash and joined in on the attack.
The old man in black was a Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. He was also extremely powerful. With his addition, the formation’s energy drained away at an extremely terrifying rate. With the Dong’an province’s reserves, they could last a minute at most.
By now, all of the high-ranking members of the Tian Yuan clan had already left the Watercloud Hall, gathering on the square in front of the hall, gazing at the figures in the sky sternly.
Not only was the entire Tian Yuan clan enveloped in a repressive atmosphere, but even the countless cultivators and regular people staying in the Dong’an province felt despair as well.
Due to the limitations of their cultivations and status, they did not know what had happened, but all of them understood very well that once the formation gave way, all of them would die as the energy storm in the sky swept down.
The energy storm was far too powerful. It was devastating, even tearing a great hole in the sky. Even weaker Chaotic Primes would be heavily injured by an energy storm like that, let alone these cultivators that were only at Godhood.
“People band against you over the slightest vulnerabilities, while others flee when you fall. Our Tian Yuan clan is probably done for.” Xi Yu gazed into the distance and let out a sigh.
“Clan leader, we better ask for help from the ninth majesty, or we’ll really be in dire straits,” an externally-recruited Primordial realm protector beside Xi Yu said. He had already turned pale from fright.
“Yeah, clan leader. It doesn’t matter if it succeeds or not. That is our only chance after all,” another protector pleaded with a shaky voice. His eyes were filled with despair.
“Sigh, Jian Chen died to the master of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. At a time like this, getting the ninth majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng to step forward will never reach the same effect as it did in the past.” Yun Wufeng sighed gently. He continued, “Most importantly, our Tian Yuan clan has already been labelled as a spy of the Immortals’ World. This accusation is much more severe than you all think it is.”
“Clan leader, the entire Cloud Plane has been sealed up. All of the teleportation formations no longer work.” At this moment, an old man who was responsible for the teleportation formations rushed over to report.
Many of them fell silent upon hearing that news. A sense of despair silently enveloped the entire Tian Yuan clan.
Xi Yu gazed around. After a moment of silence, as if she had finally made some sort of decision, she suddenly said, “Seniors, if you want to enter the Dong’an province, why go to such great lengths to attack the formation? Please stop. I’ll remove all of the formations right now.”
With Xi Yu’s feeble strength, her voice was obviously drowned out by the rumbles outside the formation, but all of the experts gathered there possessed exceptional powers, so they could still hear her voice clearly.
Immediately, the two experts stopped attacking the formation. As the energy storm outside the formation gradually settled down, Xi Yu resolutely passed the order to disable all of the formations.
Immediately, the entire Dong’an province, including the Tian Yuan clan, was exposed before everyone defencelessly.
There was a blur of figures. All of the experts arrived above the Tian Yuan clan like they had teleported. Their faces were all cold as they gazed down from above.
They all possessed undisguised killing intent. In particular, some of their eyes even shone with absolute hatred.
Clearly, proactively removing the formations did not earn them any goodwill with these people. It did not change the Tian Yuan clan’s fate either.
Her true reason for doing this was only to protect the innocent cultivators of the Dong’an province. Otherwise, once they breached the formation by force, the devastating energy would be enough to flatten the entire provincial city.
By then, the Dong’an province would face extinction.
“In the past, my master was killed by the Violet Heavens Grand Exalt of the Immortals’ World. Since your Tian Yuan clan was founded by his successor, you better not blame me for what I do today. I will personally kill every single member of the Tian Yuan clan.”
“If you want something to blame, just blame the fact that you’re connected to Jian Chen!” the Fifth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime who attacked the formation earlier said coldly. The hatred in his eyes was intense. In order to execute everyone connected to Jian Chen, he completely disregarded his status, going as far as to harass those weaker than him.
Only that could appease his hatred.
“Seniors, many members of our Tian Yuan clan are innocent. Many of them have no deep connections with Jian Chen either. Are you really going to kill them all?” Xi Yu said.
“Hmph, it doesn’t matter if they aren’t connected or if they’re unaware. As long as they have something to do with Jian Chen, they’ll all be executed without mercy!”
“None from the Tian Yuan clan will be spared.”
“It’s not just the Tian Yuan clan. The Dong’an province and even the Pingtian Empire should all be destroyed.”
“And the Grand Primes on the Cloud Plane. They’re all well-connected with Jian Chen. These people can’t be spared either.”
“Jian Chen is a successor of the Martial Soul lineage. We’ll kill everyone from the Martial Soul lineage too.”
Everyone spoke up. Some of them were from the alliance of the Hundred Saint City. They had been deceived by Jian Chen in the past, so they wanted to redeem themselves today.
As for the others, basically all of them had seniors or people they held dear that died by the Violet Heavens Grand Exalt’s hand. They were unable to get their revenge on Jian Chen, so they could only turn their hatred towards those connected to him.
Everyone was pale-white in the Tian Yuan clan. Their eyes were filled with despair.
“You should be the current clan leader of the Tian Yuan clan. Very well. If that’s the case, you can be the first to die.” The Fifth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime who attacked the formation gazed at Xi Yu frigidly before directly reaching towards her.
Let alone Xi Yu, even Xu Ran and Yun Wufeng were unable to offer up any resistance at all before an expert like that.
However, the old man seemed to sense something at this moment. His expression suddenly changed, and he looked up subconsciously.
He was not the only one. All of the experts gathered here seemed to sense it, looking up at the sky.
In the next moment, the space ripped open, forming a colossal crack. A huge, black had descended with a terrifying pressure enough to make the world pale, blotting out the sky and looming over the entire Dong’an province instantly.
The hand was completely condensed from the power of laws, giving off a presence of destruction. As the hand fell, the world shattered and space was destroyed. The ways of the entire world were disturbed, directly perturbing the three thousand ways in this space.
“The limits of the Laws of Destruction! It’s the Anatta Grand Exalt!”
“The Anatta Grand Exalt is about to destroy the Dong’an province herself! Oh no! Run!”
……
…
When this hand that possessed a devastating presence appeared, the expressions of all of the Grand Primes gathered there changed.
