Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2540: Blade Demon

The eyes of Tian Shang, Jin Yan, and the other Chaotic Primes narrowed. They became fixated on the streak of black light that flew over and became stern. They were also feeling some surprise and disbelief.

“It’s the demonic castle of the Empyrean Demon Cult. They’ve actually intruded upon the territory of our Cloudsurge Empire. What are they doing?”

“What speed! Isn’t that the demonic castle of the Empyrean Demon Cult? Their demonic castle was only a low quality god artifact in the past, but i- it’s actually a high quality god artifact now…”

“High quality god artifact… There are so many presences of experts. Even the legendary Army of Death has appeared. Oh no, the Empyrean Demon Cult is attacking our Cloudsurge Empire…”

The expressions of the subjects all changed drastically. Their Cloudsurge Empire stood supreme on the Delight Plane, and it even possessed enough strength to unite the entire plane at any time. They did not take any peak organisations on the plane seriously.

Only the Empyrean Demon Cult, an organisation that was basically second-rate on the Delight Plane, could invoke fear in the Cloudsurge Empire.

This was because the Empyrean Demon Cult had established branches across the Saints’ World. These branches would usually be led by Infinite Primes, which was why they were second-rate organisations on a few planes.

However, many experts of the Saints’ World understood that once the Empyrean Demon Cult united all their strength, they would be extremely terrifying. They could easily kill most peak experts in the Saints’ World.

The Empyrean Demon Cult was the same as the Cloudsurge Empire. They also possessed the support of someone extremely terrifying, their legendary grand elder.

Tian Shang, Jin Yan, and the other Chaotic Primes were unaware of just how powerful the great elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult was. They only knew that the Heavenless Demon Exalt of the Cloud Plane had been easily slain by him.

Of course, that alone was not enough to cause Tian Shang and the others to begin panicking. After all, the Cloudsurge Empire had the Rain Abbess. That kept their empire stable.

The real reason for all this came from over a hundred thousand years ago. Back then, the emperor of the Cloudsurge Empire was about to send experts to eliminate the Empyrean Demon Cult, but they ended up drawing out the Rain Abbess. The Rain Abbess had personally ordered them to not provoke the Empyrean Demon Cult.

It was exactly because of this event that all the experts of the Cloudsurge Empire truly developed fear towards the Empyrean Demon Cult.

As a result, now that the Empyrean Demon Cult had come to make trouble, they all became stern.

The black divine hall seemed to sense their existence. Its trajectory changed slightly, and it slammed towards them. It surged with energy as powerful demonic aura formed a black cloud along the way, blotting out the sky.

“Dodge!” the strongest among these subjects, Jin Yan, called out and vanished in an instant.

The expressions of the other subjects all changed drastically. They all dodged frantically.

The divine hall was a high quality god artifact. It was extremely powerful. The energy it gave off was enough to force the Chaotic Primes to dodge.

That was because high quality god artifacts were usually the weapons of Grand Primes.

At the same time, a dense layer of mist suddenly appeared, enveloping the entire imperial city.

Lightning flickered and thunder rumbled within the dense clouds. Torrential rain fell, making the entire imperial city disappear in the rain.

The most powerful formation in the Cloudsurge Empire, the Formation of Cloudsurge and Rainflood, had been activated.

The divine hall from the Empyrean Demon Cult was not under the control of a Grand Prime, so it was very difficult to unleash its power. It failed to strike Tian Shang and the others and collided into the formation instead.

Boom!

Immediately, a deafening rumble rang out. The collision of the divine hall and the formation was far too astonishing. Not only did it crack the ground outside the imperial capital, forming huge chasm upon huge chasm, but even the space there collapsed into nothingness.

Deep, frantic war drums rang out from within the formation. With the drums, all the power hidden within the imperial capital was mobilised.

The current emperor, Ye Yizhan, hovered in the air with the imperial seal in his hand. He was stern and cold, standing there silently.

Xu Ran appeared outside the divine hall and formation silently. She directly locked onto Tian Shang and struck out without a second thought.

“It’s the Tian Yuan clan. The Tian Yuan clan has actually banded together with the Empyrean Demon Cult to besiege our Cloudsurge Empire!” Tian Shang’s face immediately changed, and he cried out when he saw Xu Ran.

He had already witnessed Xu Ran’s strength previously, so he did not want to fight against her at all. The moment he saw Xu Ran, he started planning a path of retreat. He immediately approached Jin Yan.

Among all the subjects present, only Jin Yan had the power to fight Xu Ran.

“Hmph, Tian Yuan clan, from now onwards, you are the enemy of our Cloudsurge Empire! We will definitely destroy you!” Jin Yan snorted coldly in his red armor. Flames radiated from his body. The terrifying heat seemed to be able to burn space.

As if he had become a god of fire, the flames around him roared as the power of the Laws of Fire wrapped around him. He directly attacked Xu Ran with his halberd.

However, at this moment, there was a dazzling flash, and a black figure silently appeared outside the divine hall. He surged with demonic aura. He held a blood-red blade, which he slashed towards Jin Yan from ten thousand metres away.

The attack was filled with killing intent. As it fell, it seemed to slice the world in half. It shot through the air like it was unstoppable.

“One of the five generals of the Empyrean Demon Cult, Blade Demon!” Jin Yan’s expression changed drastically. He became extremely stern. The flames on him surged as his terrifying presence climbed. He pulled back the halberd that he swung at Xu Ran and placed it before him.

Clang!

The light and the halberd collided. The medium quality god artifact halberd in Jin Yan’s hands actually broke as the sound rang out, having been snapped in half.

Even a white mark appeared on his red armor.

Jin Yan’s expression was extremely ugly. He looked at Blade Demon with deep fear and no longer wanted to fight. He turned around and charged towards the formation behind him.

“Jin Yan, I’ve already waited for this day for fifty thousand years! Don’t you even think about running!” Blade Demon’s voice boomed out from within the demonic aura. He lifted his blood-red blade again and swung it towards Jin Yan with the rhythm of the world, producing a streak of resplendent light.

The strike this time was even more terrifying than the last. It shone like a scorching sun, illuminating the surroundings and filling it with endless blade intent.

Swish!

The streak of light locked onto Jin Yan’s presence, preventing him from escaping. It cut through Jin Yan’s body with a bright flash.

Immediately, Jin Yan stiffened. The next moment, his entire body split open right down the middle, falling down as two pieces. His soul failed to escape, having been wiped out there.

In just two attacks, the Sixth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime, Jin Yan, had died.
