Chaotic Sword God Chapter 2388 - The Peng King Descends

Chapter 2388: The Peng King Descends
A huge barrier hung in the sky, forming a hemisphere that enveloped the entire Pingtian Empire.
Vast quantities of origin energy gathered above the barrier, forming an invisible swirl as the barrier absorbed it all; this origin energy provided the barrier with energy constantly.
The barrier was so powerful that it could remain standing even after taking several attacks from Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Primes.
It was so powerful that it was even on par with the protective barrier of the past ruler of the southern region, the Blood Sun Empire.
However, this barrier was only the second most powerful within the current Pingtian Empire.
The most powerful barrier was the formation around the Tian Yuan clan in the Dong’an province, one of the thirty-six provinces of the Pingtian Empire.
The protective formation around the Tian Yuan clan had been cast down by the divine general of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, Ming Xie, under Ming Dong’s request. It took him half a month to complete. It could both attack and defend, and even Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Primes could do nothing to it.
“This Ming Xie sure is skilled. He has actually cast down such a powerful formation. The materials you need for a formation at this level isn’t something any regular expert can afford,” commented Zheng Hu of the Four Symbols Alliance. He had arrived outside the barrier of the Pingtian Empire with his group of experts. He hovered above the barrier and stared at the Tian Yuan clan below.
Whether he could make the Pingtian Empire yield to the Four Symbols Alliance would depend on the Tian Yuan clan of the Dong’an province.
“Why have you come, people of the Four Symbols Alliance?”
As soon as Zheng Hu’s group arrived, a white-robed, somewhat scholarly middle-aged man silently appeared.
Even though Zheng Hu had become a Grand Prime, having reached a whole new level, the middle-aged man showed no fear at all. He directly passed through the barrier and arrived outside.
The middle-aged man was the divine general who always accompanied Ming Dong. Ming Dong referred to him as uncle Ming.
“Ming Xie, you should know why I’ve come. Our Four Symbols Alliance has already grown impatient. I’ll give you one last chance. Are you going to yield or face destruction?” Zheng Hu’s gaze was piercing as he cut right to the chase.
Ming Xie was not angered at all. He said calmly, “Isn’t the current situation of your Four Symbols Alliance alright? Why must you insist on getting in the way of the Tian Yuan clan?”
“In other words, you won’t yield?” Zheng Hu’s face gradually sank.
“The Tian Yuan clan won’t belong to any side. Moreover, whether it’s your Four Symbols Alliance or the Righteous Alliance, none of you have the power or right to make the Tian Yuan clan yield,” Ming Xie said seriously. His voice contained undisguised disdain towards the Four Symbols Alliance.
Although the Tian Yuan clan was founded by Jian Chen, it had already been transformed into the home of the ninth majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. If the Tian Yuan clan yielded, would that not mean the ninth majesty had yielded?
Let alone the measly Four Symbols Alliance on the Cloud Plane, there was no organisation across the entire Saints’ World that could make the ninth majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng yield.
“Since you won’t yield, then neither the Pingtian Empire nor the Tian Yuan clan needs to continue existing,” Zheng Hu said seriously as powerful killing intent surged from him, flooding towards Ming Xie.
Immediately, the space around Ming Xie creaked. The killing intent from Zheng Hu was so powerful that it managed to crack the space around Ming Xie.
At the same time, the presences of all the experts who had come with Zheng Hu soared; they were brimming with killing intent. All of them were ready. They only needed an order from Zheng Hu, and they would strike out with lightning speed and destroy the Pingtian Empire.
“Do it! Destroy the Pingtian Empire and the Tian Yuan clan!”
At this moment, Zheng Hu called out. The laws of a Grand Prime descended, and the origin energy in the surroundings surged wildly.
Ming Xie became stern, but it was only stern. He did not fear Zheng Hu who had recently broken through to Grand Prime.
The battle was on the verge of erupting.
But at this moment, a pressure several times more terrifying than Zheng Hu’s suddenly descended. The sky above the southern region darkened. The celestial bodies vanished, replaced by dazzling, azure light.
The appearance of the pressure caused Zheng Hu’s face to suddenly change. Immediately, he stopped the attack he was about to launch towards Ming Xie and looked at the sky in shock.
The experts from the Four Symbols Alliance who had come with Zheng Hu paled in fright before the pressure. They all looked at the sky in fright and unease.
A colossal azure peng silently appeared beyond the Cloud Plane. He stood as great as a planet, basically blocking out the sky. A pair of azure eyes flickered with cold light as they stared at the Cloud Plane from outer space.
“The Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance. It’s the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance. W- why has he come to the Cloud Plane?” Zheng Hu immediately recognised the giant peng, and his face changed drastically.
The Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance was renowned throughout the Saints’ World for being troublesome. Not many peak experts dared to offend him in the entire Saints’ World.
Yet now, the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance had descended upon the southern region of the Cloud Plane. It filled Zheng Hu with much unease.
The southern region was the territory of their Four Symbols Alliance after all.
At the same time, the four other peak experts in the headquarters of the Four Symbols Alliance arrived outside the divine hall. They stared at the colossal figure in outer space, and they all became extremely stern.
All the peak experts of the Righteous Alliance gathered together on the Heaven’s Link Peak; they also stared at the huge shadow in the sky sternly. The light in their eyes flickered as they became unsettled.
“It’s the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance. Why has he come to our Cloud Plane? Surely he wasn’t invited by the remnants of the Tian Empire to deal with us, right…”
“If that really is the case, none of us will be able to withstand a single strike from him. The Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance is on a whole different level compared to the Heavenless Demon Exalt…”
“Impossible. You know exactly how proud and aloof the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance is. How is it possible for the Tian Empire to invite him with their measly heritage…”
…
The peak experts of the Righteous Alliance discussed furiously as their hearts weighed heavily. The colossal shadow in the sky made all of them feel uneasy.
At this moment, a huge set of talons tore through the clouds. The talons were even more colossal than mountains, possessing great power. They shone with chilling cold light as they ripped through space, falling towards the Pingtian Empire below.
The colossal talons became larger and larger as they approached. They crushed the sky, enveloping the entire territory of the Pingtian Empire.
“The Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance a- actually wants to destroy the Pingtian Empire. Quick, retreat!” Zheng Hu immediately became stunned when he saw the claw’s target.
“The Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance has actually come for the Pingtian Empire?” The peak experts on the Heaven’s Link Peak were greatly surprised as well.
Naturally, they were familiar with the Pingtian Empire; it was the only organisation not under the Four Symbols Alliance’s control in the southern region. However, they struggled to imagine just how the Pingtian Empire had provoked a peak expert like the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance.
He was a terrifying figure who could stand invincible on the entire Cloud Plane.
