Chapter 2246: The Power of a Divine General
“Alright,” uncle Ming replied slowly. He took a step out and made his way towards the forbidden grounds of the Xi Empire leisurely.
“Do you really want to interfere with the internal affairs of our Xi Empire?” With a flash, Xi Lianxue blocked uncle Ming’s path. His face was extremely sunken while his glare was extremely sharp. A black, demonic aura seemed to flash through his eyes. He said coldly, “This is opposing the Tian Empire, the Heavenless Demon Exalt. You must consider the consequences carefully.”
Although the demonic seed controlled Xi Lianxue, reducing him to a demonic puppet, he had not become mindless. He still possessed the intelligence of an ordinary person.
“This is the imperial palace of the Xi Empire. I don’t want to fight you and destroy this place. Move. You’re not my opponent,” uncle Ming said indifferently but also with great confidence. From how he acted, he did not seem to take Xi Lianxue seriously at all even though they were both Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Primes.
The empress said nothing more. After learning from uncle Ming that Xi Lianxue had already been reduced to a demonic puppet, she truly understood the severity of the matter. At the same time, she became even more worried about Xi Ziyun.
However, when she faced this crucial figure of the Xi Empire, the ancestral emperor, she felt deep dread. She felt powerlessness from the bottom of her heart. She dared not defy him at all, so she could only place all her hopes on uncle Ming.
Seeing how determined uncle Ming was, Xi Lianxue could not help but snort coldly, “How arrogant!” With that, Xi Lianxue’s eyes immediately darkened, becoming shrouded by a dark aura. Powerful energy erupted from him like a tidal wave as he hurled a fist towards uncle Ming with the power of laws.
Uncle Ming remained composed. An umbrella-like treasure appeared in his left hand, and he tossed it behind him gently.
Immediately, the treasure shone brightly. It stood above Ming Dong and the others, erecting a colorful barrier around them.
Uncle Ming, on the other hand, took a step forward. He pulsed with energy and also threw out a punch with the power of laws.
The punch was astonishing. Wherever it passed, space was reduced to darkness. The surroundings seemed to be wailing out miserably.
A strike from a Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime was simply too shocking and terrifying. Before he had even clashed with Xi Lianxue, the terrifying might from when he struck out was already enough to destroy all of the surroundings.
Boom!
Finally, with a deafening rumble, uncle Ming and Xi Lianxue’s punches collided. Immediately, terrifying ripples of energy turned into a devastating storm, ripping through space and cracking the earth. Under this storm, the ruined imperial palace was immediately flattened. It was no longer anything like its previous self.
Only the three tall towers in the forbidden grounds of the imperial palace remained standing, completely undamaged.
The formation around the forbidden ground had been personally cast down by Xi Lianxue. It was very powerful, so it could emerge unscathed from this storm.
Uncle Ming stood completely still. He did not stagger from where he stood at all. An invisible energy permeated his surroundings, blocking all of the incoming energy, preventing it from reaching the people behind him.
On the other hand, Xi Lianxue retreated uncontrollably. His grey hair ruffled about in the wave of energy, and his right sleeve had been ripped. He seemed to be in quite a horrible state.
A gleam of vicious light flickered through Xi Lianxue’s dark pupils. He roared out and formed a seal with both hands. Immediately, the tremendous might of the world filled the surroundings. He used a God Tier Battle Skill.
Promptly, the sky above the Xi Empire became abnormally bright. A huge spear, completely condensed from laws, hovered there with blinding light. The surrounding space constantly shattered as an extremely powerful presence of destruction permeated the region.
Swish! In the next moment, the spear turned into a bolt of lightning and shattered through space, shooting towards uncle Ming with unbelievable speed.
Uncle Ming raised his head to look at the incoming spear. The light in his eyes flickered as he did not try to dodge at all. He threw out another powerful punch.
Immediately, the tremendous might of the world appeared again. Uncle Ming had also used a God Tier battle skill. Blinding, golden light covered his fist, dyeing the sky into a golden world.
With an ear-splitting boom, the two great battle skills collided with devastating power. Xi Lianxue’s spear shattered from uncle Ming’s punch, reduced to a violent energy storm. On the other hand, the power in uncle Ming’s fist persisted. The remaining might landed on Xi Lianxue.
Spurt! A bloody mist immediately sprayed out from Xi Lianxue’s mouth. His face quickly became extremely pale as he was blown far away. He was heavily injured.
Afterwards, he glanced at uncle Ming who stood within the storm of energy unscathed before immediately vanishing. He left.
He had gained a deep understanding of the middle-aged man’s strength from the two clashes. He understood that even if he used everything he had, he still would not be the middle-aged man’s opponent. Hence, he chose to leave decisively.
As Xi Lianxue fled in defeat, the ancestor of the Heaven-splitting sect who stood several tens of million kilometres away became extremely shocked. He stared in the direction of the imperial palace as he struggled to remain composed.
“So powerful! Even the ancestral emperor of the Xi Empire, Xi Lianxue, is not his opponent!” The ancestor of the Heaven-splitting sect could not help but cry out. He became extremely solemn.
“Xi Lianxue has returned from the central region. No one knows if he will target our Heaven-cracking sect. With his cultivation as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime, I’m definitely not his opponent even when he’s injured.”
“I can’t stay in the Heaven-cracking sect any longer. I have to go to the Godsfallen clan immediately. The alliance led by the Heaven’s Link Peak has gathered in the Godsfallen clan. I can only leave the remaining people of the Xi Empire for them to clean up…”
The ancestor said through gritted teeth. He hated the imperial family greatly.
In the past, the current emperor, Xi Ziyun, had led a group of experts to surround the Heaven-cracking sect to avenge his daughter, dealing a heavy blow to the pride of the sect. In the end, the Xi Emperor personally executed one of the Heaven-cracking sect’s prestigious great elders right before the ancestor.
The ancestor had always borne this grudge. However, the imperial family was just too powerful, so he never dared to act recklessly. Only when Xi Lianxue led the empire to join the Tian Empire’s side did he finally get the opportunity for revenge.
“No matter what happens, the imperial family must all die!” The ancestor secretly made up his mind.
