Chapter 2572: The Tian Yuan Clan’s Counterattack (Two)
Although his teleportation range was limited, it was enough to cover the entire Pingtian Empire.
As soon as the fleeing Infinite Prime saw Jian Chen suddenly appear, his face changed.
However, before he could respond, Jian Chen swung his Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways and killed him on the spot. After that, he stowed the corpse away.
Afterwards, Jian Chen repeated this process. He used the Laws of Space again and again, killing the Infinite Primes from the southern fortress in just a few seconds.
He did not stop at that. He returned to the Tian Yuan clan with the Laws of Space.
“Greetings, patriarch!”
The armies had already gathered together in the Tian Yuan clan. Several tens of thousands of cultivators stood in an orderly manner in the centre of a square. All the Primordial realm protectors were present as well.
Even the Sword God Army that the Tian Yuan clan nurtured carefully was present.
This was the entire force of the Tian Yuan clan.
When Jian Chen left, he had already ordered all the high-ranking members to gather everyone. When he returned, the entire Tian Yuan clan was prepared.
Jian Chen hovered in the sky, and with a wave of his hand, a blue divine hall appeared out of nowhere. He had obtained this divine hall from the Gloomwater sect. It was the Watercloud Hall.
“Everyone, enter the divine hall immediately!” Jian Chen called out coldly. At the same time, the doors to the divine hall swung open.
Immediately, all the people gathered below rose up and vanished into the Watercloud Hall like a flood.
They moved extremely quickly. In just a few seconds, the several tens of thousands of cultivators had all entered the Watercloud Hall. The divine hall shrank to the size of a fist at that moment as well.
Jian Chen grabbed the Watercloud Hall and suddenly vanished. He had departed from the Dong’an province using the Laws of Space.
A group of armored soldiers currently carried a banner with nine stars as they retreated towards the headquarters of the Four Symbols Alliance from the western fortress of the Pingtian Empire.
There were not a lot of them, only several tens of thousand. However, most of them were elites. Under the lead of a few Infinite Primes, they flew through the air in a spectacular manner.
They did not retreat quickly. In particular, the Infinite Primes at the front even conversed with one another secretly.
“Aren’t we going to attack the Pingtian Empire? We just started fighting, so why did the great elders order us to retreat?”
“The Tian Yuan clan still has a Chaotic Prime. Before the Chaotic Prime is killed, it’ll be very difficult to take down the Pingtian Empire. The great elders probably want us to retreat so that we can avoid the shockwaves from the battle between Chaotic Primes. They don’t want us to get dragged in needlessly…”
“I wonder what the situation with the southern fortress is like. The energy storm there is just too powerful, so we can’t approach it at all with the senses of our souls. We can’t check the situation there at all…”
“Don’t worry. We have five great elders with us. We possess an absolute advantage. The Chaotic Prime of the Tian Yuan clan is dead for sure. Right now, we need to lead our soldiers far away to avoid the storm of energy from the battle between Chaotic Primes. Even we have to maintain our distance from a battle between such experts, let alone these Godhood cultivators…”
The Infinite Primes were in no hurry. They had only received an order for retreat and had no clue how the battle between the Chaotic Primes was going. They did not know that out of the five great elders that they depended on the most, one of them was already dead, and the rest had fled.
At this moment, the space before them suddenly twisted. The power of space surged, and Jian Chen silently appeared, blocking their paths.
The Infinite Primes were surprised as they stared at Jian Chen who had suddenly appeared. However, as they were stunned, a huge divine hall appeared. The doors swung open, and the cultivators of the Tian Yuan clan surged out like a flood.
At the front were the Infinite Prime protectors of the Tian Yuan clan. Protector Xue and protector Qi, the two late Infinite Primes, happened to be among them as well.
“Kill them all! Leave none alive!” Jian Chen ordered coldly. His eyes were frigid, and they held no sympathy.
The soldiers stationed at the western fortress of the Pingtian Empire had all died to their hands. As a result, he would not show any mercy to the Godhood soldiers or the Infinite Primes.
Immediately, an intense battle erupted. Rumbles from the collision of energy constantly rang out, filling the surroundings with violent shockwaves.
Jian Chen did not take part in the battle here. He left behind half of the soldiers and eight Infinite Primes before leaving with the Watercloud Hall.
There were no particularly powerful experts among the people who attacked the western fortress. There were only six Infinite Primes, and the strongest was only at the Fifth Heavenly Layer. Most of them were early Infinite Primes.
There were two Seventh Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes out of the eight that the Tian Yuan clan had brought. That was enough to completely crush them and even have an Infinite Prime or two spare to fight against the Godhood soldiers.
As a result, the Tian Yuan clan possessed the complete upper hand against the enemies near the western fortress.
Jian Chen carried the other people from the Tian Yuan clan in the Watercloud Hall, crossing through the entire Pingtian Empire with the Laws of Space. He blocked the paths of the final army from the Four Symbols Alliance in the east.
He had the Laws of Space. Even though his comprehension of Laws of Space remained at early Infinite Prime, he was no longer any slower than most Chaotic Primes. As a matter of fact, he even surpassed some of them in speed.
As a result, the people of the Four Symbols Alliance were unable to avoid his pursuit.
“The patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan!” The middle-aged man at the very front of the army that had attacked the eastern fortress suddenly saw Jian Chen appear. He could not help but cry out. For some reason, he abruptly felt an ill omen.
The middle-aged man was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime, the strongest out of all the Infinite Primes assigned to the young star lord. He had already realised that the battle between the Chaotic Primes in the southern fortress had ended with the senses of his soul. However, due to the violent storm of energy, he was unable to approach the region with the senses of the soul, so he had no idea about the outcome. Now that he saw Jian Chen had come alone to stop them, his heart sank.
Basically at the same time, he expanded the senses of his soul and enveloped the three other fortresses of the Pingtian Empire. In the next moment, his face changed drastically.
Before, he had always been concentrating on where the Chaotic Primes fought, so he had not been paying attention to the situation of the western and southern fortresses. Now that he checked on them, he immediately paled in fright.
“A- all the soldiers from the southern fortress a- are d-dead…” The middle-aged man was stunned. He was in a state of disbelief. However, in the next moment, he suddenly thought of something and immediately fled into the distance.
“Run! Everyone run! Scatter and run!” The middle-aged man called out. Even though he was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime, he had no interest in fighting.
The army that attacked the southern fortress was all dead, while the army that attacked the western fortress was facing a bitter battle right now. The five great elders had completely vanished after ordering a retreat. He knew what all this meant.
