Chaotic Sword God Chapter 2245 - The Ancestral Emperor of the Xi Empire

Chapter 2245: The Ancestral Emperor of the Xi Empire
Space cracked, and the dense energy of the world in the surroundings retreated in a trembling manner where the swords pointed.
This was the strength of a Chaotic Prime. A casual strike from such a being would possess devastating power, enough to easily crack the earth and shatter mountains.
The ancestor of the Heaven-cracking sect did not take part. Instead, the light in his eyes flickered with uncertainty as he stared at uncle Ming before Ming Dong. He knew that the ancestor of the Sword Sect of Four Poles was only using this attack to test the middle-aged man’s limits and gain an indication of his strength.
The probing happened to suit his intentions because he could guess that the middle-aged man was a Chaotic Prime. However, he did not know just what heavenly layer he was on.
“I am of the Second Heavenly Layer, and Gongsun Dao is the same as me. If this person is of the Third Heavenly Layer, we’ll be able to hold him off if we work together. However, if he’s beyond that, and at the Fourth Heavenly Layer, then… we probably won’t be his opponent even if we work together,” thought the Heaven-cracking Ancestor.
Uncle Ming’s face did not change at all as he stared at the four approaching swords. He raised his hand indifferently and extended his index finger.
With that gesture, laws powerful enough to make the two ancestors pale descended. They condensed into a streak of golden light and struck the four swords in a single instance.
Boom!
The four swords produced a gentle thrum after the golden light struck them before all falling towards the ground.
The golden light from uncle Ming’s finger continued onwards. With the power of laws, it shot towards Gongsun Dao like a hot knife through butter. Under his shocked gaze, it pierced through Gongsun Dao’s chest.
It left behind a bowl-sized hole in Gongsun Dao’s chest.
“So powerful! This person is at the Seventh Heavenly Layer at the very least!” Gongsun Dao was extremely shocked. He glanced at uncle Ming in astoundment, and with a wave of his hand, he collected the four swords. Without lingering for even a split second longer, he fled as quickly as he could.
The eyes of the ancestor of the Heaven-cracking sect also narrowed. After witnessing uncle Ming’s strength, he made the same decision as the ancestor of the Sword Sect of Four Poles. He left as quickly as he could.
The empress was greatly shocked when she saw the two Chaotic Primes scramble for their lives. She knew that the middle-aged man Ming Dong referred to as uncle Ming was extremely powerful, a peak expert who had reached Chaotic Prime, but she had never thought that this uncle Ming would be so powerful, where even the peak expert Gongsun Dao was dealt with in a single strike.
“Just which heavenly layer has this uncle Ming reached?” The empress could not help but wonder.
Although the empress was also a Primordial realm expert, she was only a late Infinite Prime. She was unable to tell what level of cultivation uncle Ming had reached.
At this moment, uncle Ming suddenly looked at an empty region and said indifferently, “Since you’re here, why don’t you show yourself?”
The empress’ eyes narrowed from that, and she immediately looked over to where uncle Ming was gazing.
An old man silently appeared in the empty space. He wore dragon robes and gave off the bearing of a ruler. He stared at uncle Ming closely with his profound eyes. He was stern.
“Ancestral emperor!”
However, the empress’ expression suddenly changed when she saw the old man, and she could not help but cry out.
The old man was the ancestral emperor of the greatest seniority and strength, Xi Lianxue!
Xi Lianxue did not even glance at the empress. His profound eyes remained fixed on uncle Ming, “Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime. Even across the entire Cloud Plane, there are only a handful of peak experts like that, and I just happened to have seen them all. You aren’t among them.” When he reached there, Xi Lianxue’s gaze suddenly became piercing. He called out, “Who are you? Where do you come from? Why are you interfering with the internal affairs of my Xi Empire?”
Uncle Ming ignored Xi Lianxue. He looked at Ming Dong and said, “This person’s cultivation is the same as mine. He’s also a Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime!”
Ming Dong nodded to express that he understood.
“Greetings to the ancestral emperor!” The empress was unable to remain composed when she saw Xi Lianxue. She pulled Xi Yu over and bowed towards Xi Lianxue cautiously.
Xi Lianxue finally looked at the empress. He was emotionless and cold, “You should be the current empress. Did you bring these people?”
“Ancestral emperor, my husband, the emperor, has vanished without any reason, and all contact has been lost. I am worried about the emperor’s safety, which was why I asked young hero Ming Dong to come search for him,” the empress said politely.
Xi Lianxue’s expression did not change at all. He said coldly, “Ziyun is fine. Take these people and leave.”
“But…” The empress hesitated.
“No buts. Immediately leave the Xi Empire with your people,” Xi Lianxue ordered coldly.
The empress became gloomy when she heard that. She was filled with bitterness. She was unable to defy the ancestral emperor with his order-like tone. As a matter of fact, she could not even think of resisting from the bottom of her heart.
This was because Xi Lianxue was everything to the Xi Empire. He was the reason why their Xi Empire could exist like how they were right now. Although he had stepped down many years ago and never interfered with the matters of the empire, he still held supreme authority within the imperial family. A single word from him was enough to dismiss the current emperor.
However, Xi Yu, who had not grown up in the Xi Empire, held no respect for the ancestral emperor. She gritted her teeth and said stubbornly, “If we don’t find my father, we’re not leaving.”
“There’s no need to say anything more.” At this moment, uncle Ming, who had remained behind Ming Dong, stepped forward. He stood with his arms behind his back before everyone. He stared at Xi Lianxue calmly and said, “He has already fallen under the influence of a demonic seed and has been reduced to a demonic puppet controlled by someone. He’s no longer the ancestral emperor you once know.”
“What!” The empress paled in surprise. She was extremely shocked.
“If that’s the case, there’s no point in saying anything more. Uncle Ming, pave a path to the forbidden grounds,” Ming Dong said coldly.
