Chaotic Sword God Chapter 2543 - The Army of Death

Chapter 2543: The Army of Death
The Empyrean Demon Cult formally clashed with the Cloudsurge Empire. Regular soldiers faced regular soldiers as Primordial realm experts faced Primordial realm experts. The entire imperial capital was shrouded by surging demonic aura.
The armies of the Cloudsurge Empire were not weak either. They were elites composed of Godkings, and all of them stood in battle formations against the Empyrean Demon Cult.
However, the Empyrean Demon Cult outnumbered the Cloudsurge Empire. After all, the Empyrean Demon Cult had many branches across the Saints’ World, and every single one of them raised many experts. Some branches even possessed their own Hall of Protectors, a group completely composed out of Godkings.
With all the branches gathered together, the Empyrean Demon Cult obviously possessed a terrifying number of Godhood experts. They completely crushed the Cloudsurge Empire.
As a result, as soon as the armies started fighting, the Cloudsurge Empire was firmly suppressed. A large amount of casualties appeared in a short moment.
At the same time, the Empyrean Demon Cult possessed an absolute advantage in terms of Infinite Primes as well. They had over two hundred of them.
The Cloudsurge Empire only had eighty to ninety Infinite Primes.
The only advantage they possessed was in the number of Chaotic Primes.
The Empyrean Demon Cult had many Infinite Primes but extremely few Chaotic Primes. Apart from the grand elder and the generals, there had no one else.
The grand elder was just a soul, so he was unable to participate in the battle. Additionally, one of the five generals had died, so only four remained now.
On the other hand, the Cloudsurge Empire possessed over a dozen Chaotic Primes.
Of course, there were only a handful of Chaotic Primes that truly belonged to the imperial family. The rest had been roped in, occupying positions as subjects just like Tian Shang.
At this moment, a terrifying streak of light shot through the air, heading towards the Chaotic Primes of the Cloudsurge Empire.
Blade Demon of the five generals struck out. He wielded his blood-red blade as he surged with demonic aura, charging out like he was unstoppable.
Behind him, Cloud Demon, Wind Demon, and Blood Demon struck out as well. They were not as powerful as Blade Demon, but they were still extremely powerful. They possessed special abilities and great might.
All the Chaotic Primes of the Cloudsurge Empire set out. They went up to receive the four generals of the Empyrean Demon Cult aggressively.
One of them was extremely powerful, a Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime. He faced off against Blade Demon.
Cloud Demon, Wind Demon, and Blood Demon all encountered their own opponents as well.
However, the Chaotic Primes of the Cloudsurge Empire possessed an absolute numerical advantage. It was impossible for just the four generals of the Empyrean Demon Cult to handle them all.
“Chaotic Fusion!” At this moment, some Infinite Primes from the Empyrean Demon Cult called out together. Several formation scrolls flew out between them, shining with hazy light while giving off a heavy, ancient presence.
Around a dozen Infinite Primes stood around each formation scroll. They stood in special positions as they poured their energy into the scrolls.
Immediately, the formation scrolls erupted with dazzling light. Terrifying pulses of energy radiated out. Under the control of the Infinite Primes, the scrolls produced terrifying beams of light.
These beams of light had reached the levels of Chaotic Primes, and they directly enveloped the subjects of the Cloudsurge Empire.
However, even with that being the case, the Cloudsurge Empire still possessed an absolute advantage in the battlefield of Chaotic Primes.
However, a blood-red mist suddenly sprayed out from the divine hall of the Empyrean Demon Cult. Colossal figures seemed to exist within the demonic mist.
They were blood-red skeletons that stood at several dozen metres tall. There were a lot of them, ranging into the thousands, and they gave off the presence of death. They marched over neatly, and they would make the ground shake with each step.
“It’s the Empyrean Demon Cult’s Army of Death!”
From the imperial palace, Ye Yizhan stared right at the blood-red skeletons and became stern.
Although this was the first time he had personally seen the Army of Death, he had heard quite a lot about this powerful army.
It was said that they were a truly unkillable army. They were the greatest force of the Empyrean Demon Cult. They would never be easily mobilised, but they were unstoppable once they were.
“What a heavy presence of death. I- i- is this the Empyrean Demon Cult’s legendary Army of Death…”
“Oh no, it’s the Army of Death. This so-called Army of Death is actually raised from the remains of countless experts…”
…
Many Primordial realm experts took notice of the special army in the Cloudsurge Empire, and their faces all changed suddenly.
The Army of Death had finally exposed itself before everyone. Just as its name suggested, it was not composed of cultivators but the remains of cultivators. They had been raised through special methods. They could not think, and they were not alive. They were just humanoid remains that gave off a heavy sense of death.
There were not a lot of them, only around ten thousand, but these blood-red skeletons pressured all the experts of the Cloudsurge Empire greatly.
This was because it was rumoured that many Chaotic Primes had fallen to the Army of Death before.
This was an infamous army of demons!
At this moment, the blood-red skeletons began to merge with one another. Their numbers rapidly decreased.
They joined together through a special method. As the skeletons rapidly decreased, the pressure they gave off strengthened. Their bodies swelled as well, becoming larger and larger.
In just a few seconds, over ten thousand skeletons had vanished. Three skeletons that towered at several hundred metres tall appeared instead.
Like demonic gods, they possessed the pressure of death. They were enveloped and shrouded by dense, bloody mist.
At this moment, the three skeletons moved. They wielded a huge, bone club each as they swung them directly towards three Chaotic Primes of the Cloudsurge Empire.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With three heavy thuds, the three early Chaotic Primes were sent flying with the strikes. The protective light around them dimmed as the power of ways that they had condensed dispersed. Blood oozed from the corner of their mouths.
With a single strike, an early Chaotic Prime was injured.
“Be careful! The skeletons possess a power that can corrode the soul!” The three Chaotic Primes called out as they experienced lingering fear.
The moment they came into contact with the skeletons, they felt a piercing pain from their souls. They had been harmed by an invisible power.
The three blood-red skeletons struck out once again. They swung their bone clubs towards the Chaotic Primes of the Cloudsurge Empire.
With their entry into the battle, the Empyrean Demon Cult finally recovered their situation with the Chaotic Primes. They even managed to gain the upper hand gradually.
Xu Ran joined the battle as well. She stared at the Golden-striped Silver Snake, Tian Shang, and tried to kill him.
Now that the entire imperial capital was enveloped by the Formation of Cloudsurge and Rainflood, the space inside was sealed up. No matter how skilled Tian Shang was at fleeing, he was unable to escape from the formation. As a result, he could only run around within the formation.
In the end, after using his secret techniques three times, Tian Shang’s head was struck by Xu Ran’s palm strike, which killed him.
And that was how the Second Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime, Tian Shang, died!
“Here’s the corpse of the snake for you.” Xu Ran tossed Tian Shang’s body to Jian Chen before charging into the sky and engaging in a battle against a subject of the Cloudsurge Empire.
Jian Chen tossed the corpse to Nubis to allow him to purge the venom from protector Xue. Afterwards, he went to participate in the battle as well.
There were many Primordial realm experts involved in the battle this time, with even more Godhood cultivators. This was a great opportunity for him to collect nourishment for the Immortal Devouring Orchid, so he did not want to miss it.
“Jian Chen, come with me. Let’s go to the forbidden grounds in the depths of the imperial palace. That’s where the Rain Abbess cultivates. Both the Innate Orchid of Five Elements and what master needs are there,” Cheng Ming called to Jian Chen.
