Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2249: The Might of a Palm Strike

Two old men appeared silently beside the Heavenless Demon Exalt in the air above the majestic imperial palace of the Tian Empire.

The three of them were the foundation of the Tian Empire, the pillars of support as well as the only reason why the Tian Empire could stand as an everlasting empire.

However, the two old men were quite a lot weaker than the Heavenless Demon Exalt. They were First and Second Heavenly Layer Grand Primes.

“What astonishing demonic aura. Who is this person?”

“I- i- is he the great elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult?”

The two old men both looked at the sky in shock. They were extremely grave.

Even though they possessed terrifying cultivations that could be considered as nearing perfection on the Cloud Plane, they still felt pressure before the demonic aura.

“The great elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult?” The Heavenless Demon Exalt murmured. Then he sniggered, “He has finally appeared. I’ve already waited for him for quite some time. Today, I would like to see whether the great elder who killed the lord of planet Tianming and dared to fight a hall elder of the God clan is as powerful as he is rumoured to be. Hehe, I hope he doesn’t disappoint me.”

The two other Grand Primes of the Tian Empire both stopped worrying when they heard that. One of them said sternly, “Heavenless, it’ll be completely up to you to fend off the great elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult.”

The Heavenless Demon Exalt nodded. At the same time, a terrifying presence surged from him. Demonic aura also filled his surroundings. He sneered, “I’ll go test out this great elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult. Stay vigilant and guard against any sneak attacks from the Heaven’s Link Peak during this time.”

With that, the Heavenless Demon Exalt shot off into the sky with surging demonic aura and a soaring presence. He flew towards the vast cloud that had engulfed the entire Cloud Plane.

At that moment, the Heavenless Demon Exalt’s strength as a Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime was truly revealed. The energy that condensed around him caused space to collapse. His presence was so powerful that it caused the earth below to constantly sink.

The Tian Empire had already activated their defensive formations. A barrier rose up, engulfing all the territory of the Tian Empire.

There was a second and third formation within this formation.

The second formation engulfed the huge imperial capital of the Tian Empire that stretched for a million kilometres while the third formation enveloped the imperial palace.

The three formations were one more powerful than the last. Every single one of them had been personally cast down by the Grand Primes of the Tian Empire, so their defensive powers were extremely shocking.

“The Heavenless Demon Exalt will be clashing with the great elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult...”

All the experts gathered outside the Godsfallen clan on the northern region stared at the pitch-black sky. They were all fixated on the direction of the central region.

They were all supreme experts of the Cloud Plane. Even with the tremendous distance between the two planes, they could still envelop the imperial palace of the Tian Empire easily with the powerful senses of their souls.

At the same time, Ming Dong hovered in the air under uncle Ming’s protection as he stared in the direction of the central region.

Beside Ming Dong, the empress and the ancestral emperors stood with rather pale faces. The three of them stared at the enshrouding demonic cloud as their hearts shivered.

Suddenly, the tremendous cloud in the sky began to churn violently. A huge hand completely condense from demonic aura suddenly reached out from the cloud, pressing down with terrifying might.

The hand was truly humongous. It was a million kilometres long, making it seem like a miniature continent. It enveloped the entire imperial capital of the Tian Empire.

With the Heavenless Demon Exalt in the lead, he launched an astonishing strike that possessed the might of a Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime collided loudly with the hand.

Immediately, space collapsed, and the sky cracked. The entire world seemed like it had shattered. The clash was terrifying and shocking, causing the entire central region to shake violently. A huge earthquake occurred, causing waves to toss and the land to move. Countless mountains collapsed as rivers shifted.

A Grand Prime’s strike was extraordinary. If it were not for the protective formations, the entire Tian Empire would have probably been flattened from the ripples of energy.

However, not only did the Heavenless Demon Exalt’s strike fail to disperse the hand condensed from demonic aura, but the hand did not even stop at all. It continued to fall from the sky like it was unstoppable.

The Heavenless Demon Exalt happened to be exactly below the hand. As the hand fell, he was actually pushed to the ground as well.

“Oh no!” The hearts of the two other Grand Primes of the Tian Empire sank when they saw this. They immediately flew out, working with the Heavenless Demon Exalt to face the huge hand.

However, even when the three of them worked together, they failed to slow down the hand at all. In the end, with a heavy rumble, the hand forced down the three Grand Primes, shattered the three formations that protected the Tian Empire, and struck the imperial capital as if nothing could stop it.

Immediately, great earthquakes overwhelmed the five regions of the Cloud Plane, and the Cloud Plane that originally hovered still in outer space began to drift from the strike.

The palm strike had actually shifted the Cloud Plane’s position in space.

The majestic imperial capital of the Tian Empire had already vanished along with the beautifully-decorated imperial palace. The entire imperial city was replaced by a bottomless handprint.

The many lives moving about in the imperial city and the many experts who stood with the Tian Empire all perished from the palm strike.

Only the three Grand Primes and two weak existences survived the palm strike. The two weak existences suffered no harm at all when the hall that trapped them was destroyed.

The palm strike had forced the three Grand Primes deep underground. They all paled as blood flowed from the corner of their lips. Clearly, they were quite injured.

The two unharmed existences were naturally Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling that the Heavenless Demon Exalt had captured.

Currently, Xiao Ling and Xiao Jin hovered in the air, wrapped up in a cloud of demonic aura. Below them was not ground but a bottomless chasm the strike created.

They were located below ground level.

Wrapped up by the demonic aura, Xiao Jin looked around in complete shock. He was left dumbfounded.

“W- w- what happened?” Xiao Jin was completely dumbstruck when he looked at the bottomless chasm below him.

However, Xiao Ling was not thinking about what had happened at all. She could sense with great precision that an extremely familiar presence that invoked her memories had drifted over. Her eyes immediately reddened as tears poured out uncontrollably. She looked around at the darkness helplessly and sobbed, “Master, master, where are you? Xiao Ling knows that you’re already here. Where are you... Xiao Ling is scared. Don’t abandon Xiao Ling...”

Like a mistreated child, Xiao Ling sobbed loudly. She cried extremely painfully, and there was also a sense of undisguised yearning.

“Xiao Ling, don’t be scared. Master is coming to take you back. From today onwards, no one will be able to harass you anymore,” at this moment, a gentle voice rang out. A black-robed, middle-aged man appeared silently before Xiao Ling.

No one knew when he had appeared there. It was like he had been there the entire time, fused with the surrounding demonic aura. No one discovered his traces.

However, his gaze towards Xiao Ling was filled with love, like a father looking at his daughter. Along with it was some hidden pain.

Xiao Ling cried even more vigorously when she saw the middle-aged man. She immediately threw herself into his bosom and cried loudly. Tears poured out like rain as if she was trying to vent all the hardships and longing she had accumulated across the years.
