Chapter 2633: The Betrayal of the Heavenly Moon Empire
From the air, the young star lord watched these cultivators turn on themselves and felt extremely satisfied. At that moment, he felt like he was toying with lives, where he could decide their fates on a whim. This was an intoxicating feeling for him. He enjoyed it very much.
At this moment, an Infinite Prime elder suddenly appeared before the young star lord. “Young star lord, I’ve just received the news that the Heavenly Moon Empire wishes to serve the young star lord.”
“The Heavenly Moon Empire? That ancient empire that yielded to the Tian Yuan clan?” It took the young star lord quite some time to remember the Heavenly Moon Empire’s existence. The Heavenly Moon Empire was just too weak. They were a measly ancient empire, so the young star lord had never taken them seriously.
As the only child of the Nine Brilliance Star Lord, even if he was only a foster son, he had a supreme status. He basically only came into contact with Chaotic Primes usually, and even meeting Grand Primes would not be anything special. A mere ancient empire naturally could not attract his attention.
“That’s right, it’s them,” the Infinite Prime affirmed.
The young star lord smiled evilly. “The Heavenly Moon Empire is an organisation that has yielded to the Tian Yuan clan, but now they want to serve me. That’s pretty interesting.” After a short pause, the young star lord continued, “Tell them that if they want to serve me, I need to see whether they have the strength or not.”
“Yes, I’ll pass this onto them right now.” The Infinite Prime elder backed away.
The two ancestors of the Heavenly Moon Empire had gathered together in the depths of their imperial palace. They were extremely stern.
“The young star lord has been very straightforward. What he wants us to actually do is to attack the Tian Yuan clan with our forces. But once we do that, we’ll be going down a slippery slope,” one of the ancestors said sternly. If they mishandled this matter, their Heavenly Moon Empire would only be awaiting destruction.
“Since we’ve already made the decision to serve the young star lord, let’s completely stand on his side and stop hesitating. Let’s do it. With their current situation, it’s impossible for the Tian Yuan clan and Righteous Alliance to turn the tides,” said the other ancestor.
They were both Infinite Primes, and they had no idea that the situation with the battle in outer space had changed. That was because the mountain soul was extremely distant from the Cloud Plane now. Let alone them, but even Chaotic Primes and some weaker Grand Primes would not be able to check what was happening.
Very soon, all the experts of the Heavenly Moon Empire were assembled. Under the lead of the two ancestors, they charged towards the Pingtian Empire aggressively. The ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds, Sheng Ping, was present as well. He led the Godking elders of the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds to take part in the operation.
There were not a lot of people from the empire and sect taking part, only several dozen. However, they were all Godkings.
Moreover, many of the Godkings carried tiny divine halls. Over a million of the elite troops from the Heavenly Moon Empire were assembled within the divine halls.
“Jian Chen, you arrived at our Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds in such an aloof and overbearing manner before, making me cut off my own arm. That’s a permanent stain to my name. Today, I don’t need you to cut off your own arm like how I did. I only need to personally destroy your Tian Yuan clan. This time, my Daoist Sect of Divine Clouds will devastate your entire clan,” thought Sheng Ping.
One of his two sleeves was empty. Clearly, he was missing an arm.
……
…
The Heavenly Moon Empire had formally betrayed the Tian Yuan clan, and they now opposed the Tian Yuan clan. They split into two. The two ancestors of the Heavenly Moon Empire and the ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds travelled straight to the Dong’an province with a portion of their Godkings to assist the young star lord in getting through the formation. Meanwhile, the remaining Godkings took the divine halls containing over a million troops to take over the other cities in the Pingtien Empire.
Even the ruined palace of the Pingtian Empire became occupied by the soldiers of the Heavenly Moon Empire.
Very soon, apart from the provincial city, not a single piece of land belonged to the Pingtian Empire anymore.
“Heavenly Moon Empire, you traitors, I curse you to suffer a horrible fate…”
“And the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds is there as well. We should have suggested the patriarch to destroy you back then. We never thought the patriarch’s mercy would actually lead to such a great problem…”
…
A series of curses rang out from the Tian Yuan clan. Many of the important members stared at the two ancestors of the Heavenly Moon Empire and the ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds in fury, swearing out loud.
Even many of the guards took part. Many of them found the Heavenly Moon Empire’s actions extremely despicable.
“Keep swearing, keep swearing. Swear as much as you want while you can still talk, as you won’t even have the right to talk a while later. The dead can’t speak. The glory of the Tian Yuan clan will become history,” the ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds said coldly.
“Hahaha, Tian Yuan clan, you never thought today would come, did you? Our chance to avenge our ancestor has finally arrived…” Some Godking elders from the Earth Spirit sect called out in glee.
After the ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect, Sang Tu, was killed by Jian Chen, the Earth Spirit sect lost their only Primordial realm expert. It immediately made their status plummet, so the Earth Spirit sect held a bone-deep hatred towards the Tian Yuan clan.
Within the Tian Yuan clan, Xi Yu silently clenched her hands when she heard the cold remarks from the ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds. She ground her teeth and said, “Heavenly Moon Empire, Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds, and the Earth Spirit sect, if the Tian Yuan clan survives this, I swear I will never spare you.”
Suddenly, a huge crack was ripped open in the formation around the provincial city. Immediately, a violent ripple of energy swept in through the crack like a storm, suddenly exploding in the city.
Immediately, many cultivators in the city were affected. The storm caused many of the weaker cultivators to directly lose their lives. Even the nearby structures all collapsed.
“The formation around the city is about to fall.” Xu Ran looked at the crowds of people outside grimly as she controlled the formation. Once the formation fell, all the cultivators who had fled into the provincial city would be doomed without a single doubt.
After all, only a tiny fraction of them were Godkings. Against so many Infinite Primes and the shockwaves of energy from three Chaotic Primes, there was basically nothing that they could do against it.
“I’ve already done all that I can. Your final fate will be up to yourselves,” Xu Ran thought. She was powerless now because even the Tian Yuan clan was struggling to protect itself.
“Since the formation will fall, I better kill some traitors before it does.” Cold killing intent flashed through Xu Ran’s eyes. She suddenly vanished, and in the next moment, she had appeared outside the formation. It was extremely sudden.
The storms of energy from the attacks of the Primordial realm experts made the space there constantly shake as the cracks expanded.
If the provincial city was the calm ocean floor, then this was the turbulent surface.
Xu Ran stood still in the air. No matter how violent the energy was, as soon as it approach her, it would be blocked by a mysterious power. Her eyes directly locked onto the ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds, Sheng Ping, and the two ancestral emperors of the Heavenly Moon Empire.
“Be careful!” A Chaotic Prime called out from beside the young star lord. Even though Xu Ran had appeared silently, his cultivation was clearly greater than Xu Ran’s, so he immediately discovered her and raised his guard.
Afterwards, Xu Ran moved. The distance between them was under twenty kilometres, so it only took a step to cross for a Chaotic Prime like her.
With a single flash, she immediately appeared before the ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds. She suddenly extended her old hand, piercing through Sheng Ping’s barrier of energy like it was paper and directly clamped down on his neck.
The difference in cultivation was far too great. Sheng Ping felt his neck tighten before he could even understand what was going on. He suddenly felt that he was suffocating.
Even though he did not need to breathe, the feeling made his face changed drastically as his eyes became filled with fear.
Only then did he discover that Xu Ran had appeared before him, staring at him coldly and mercilessly. Her eyes were filled with killing intent.
At the same time, two of the three Chaotic Primes that the young star lord had brought rushed towards Xu Ran. The third person was responsible for the young star lord’s safety.
