Chapter 2613: The Two Emperors
The interior of the Four Symbols Alliance shook like there was a huge earthquake. Even Godhood cultivators could not help but sway as they stood inside.
Fortunately, the headquarters of the Four Symbols Alliance was covered with formations. Under the protection of these formations, the violent shaking failed to create any major damage.
Basically all the forces of the Four Symbols Alliance were gathered in there right now. They all stared at the formation that erupted with dazzling light in the sky silently.
The atmosphere seemed extremely heavy.
“At this rate of attack, we probably can’t even last half a month…” He Yidao said sternly. As he looked at the experts of the Four Symbols Alliance who could only hide within the formations, he was filled with mixed emotions.
“Let alone half a month, even seven days would be very difficult. After all, there are three Grand Primes out there, coupled with the combined attacks from many Chaotic Primes, Infinite Primes, and Godhood cultivators,” Gong Ji said with a darkened face. She had become filled with anger over their current predicament.
She glanced past the young star lord perhaps out of coincidence and showed displeasure for the first time.
The Four Symbols Alliance had already entered such dire straits, yet the Star Brilliance Plane still had not sent reinforcements. From how the young star lord acted, it seemed like he did not ask for reinforcements at all. This made Gong Ji extremely vexed.
“Organise the retreat and activate the interplanar teleportation formation. Send the people who have some talent to other planes. If we really become utterly doomed, we have to leave behind some survivors for our clans or sects at the very least. Moreover, pour all the divine crystals and items we have accumulated over the years that can support formations into the formations. Buy as much time as we can.” The Gentle Breeze Ancestor passed down an order helplessly.
His order immediately led to a disturbance in the Four Symbols Alliance. Many of them paled, as the order meant that the Four Symbols Alliance was truly done for. The ancestors of the Four Symbols Alliance were preparing for its destruction.
“Young star lord, the only reason why our Four Symbols Alliance faces its current predicament is because of you. Our Four Symbols Alliance no longer possesses any power to use against the Martial Soul lineage and the Righteous Alliance. It has already become like this, so are you really going to do nothing?” Wu Lu asked sternly. The young star lord’s behaviour almost made Wu Lu lose his patience. He was no longer as polite to the young star lord anymore.
“Hmph, what’re you worrying for? Aren’t I still here? We still haven’t even reached the final moment yet.” The young star lord frowned and said with some irritation, “The only people you can blame is yourselves. I told you to draw out Jian Chen. As long as Jian Chen came out, the whole matter would be resolved. In the end, so many of you went out and one even died, yet you still failed to draw out Jian Chen. Whose fault can it be?”
The Four Symbols Alliance had already arranged their retreat. They began choosing their talented juniors to send away from the Cloud Plane.
Two old men who were great elders in the Four Symbols Alliance secretly sighed when they witnessed this. They took out a jade slip and began a secret conversation.
The two old men were Chaotic Primes. They were the two ancestral emperors who managed to survive the various battles with the Righteous Alliance after the Blood Sun Empire yielded to the Four Symbols Alliance.
At the same time, the dragon-robed Blood Emperor stood atop the imperial palace in the imperial capital of the Blood Sun Empire. He stared in the direction of the Four Symbols Alliance as he was extremely stern and filled with worry.
Although the Blood Sun Empire was an organisation that belonged to the Four Symbols Alliance, the Righteous Alliance never took them seriously. After all, in the eyes of the three peak organisations of the Righteous Alliance, the Blood Sun Empire really was just a slightly larger ant despite being the everlasting empire that seemed to control the southern region.
As a result, the Blood Sun Empire did not suffer when the enemy attacked the headquarters of theFour Symbols Alliance this time.
Suddenly, the Blood Emperor’s expression changed. With a flip of his hand, a jade slip suddenly appeared.
The Blood Emperor’s expression changed rapidly when he looked at the jade slip. He seemed to become much older. He gave off a presence of decline.
“The ancestral emperors are actually using my bloodline plan. I- i- is the Four Symbols Alliance really done for? Will our Blood Sun Empire really be destroyed?” The Blood Emperor seemed to lose all his strength at that moment. He collapsed onto his bottom as his eyes became lost.
But very soon, he stood up again, albeit shakily. He called for the people of the imperial family in a majestic hall.
Very soon, over a hundred people had gathered there. None of them seemed old. They were all the cream of the crop.
As an everlasting empire that had existed for a million years, the Blood Sun Empire had at least several tens of thousand members of the imperial family, yet there were only around a hundred people that the Blood Emperor had called for. That was more than enough to indicate just how great their statuses were.
All of them knelt on the ground politely in the majestic hall, paying their respects to the Blood Emperor. They were all unsettled and uneasy.
Now, all of them knew that the Righteous Alliance was attacking the Four Symbols Alliance. The Four Symbols Alliance faced destruction and had lost several Grand Primes. The fate of the Four Symbols Alliance would directly affect the fate of their Blood Sun Empire, so these esteemed members of the imperial family basically passed every day in worry, year after year.
The ninth prince, who had almost destroyed the Tian Yuan clan, happened to be among them.
However, the ninth prince had already lost his vigor and haughtiness from the past.
“The Four Symbols Alliance won’t be able to survive. The ancestral emperors have ordered us to use the bloodline plan. You are the future of our Blood Sun Empire. If the Blood Sun Empire is destroyed, there will be a day when you can rise up and rebuild our Blood Sun Empire.” The Blood Emperor seemed to be in ruins. It was like he had used up all his strength to say that.
Afterwards, he looked at the ninth prince and said, “The Blood Sun Empire will probably vanish, so there’s no need to pay attention to the ten thousand years agreement with the Xi Empire. You should go as well. Don’t disappoint your father.”
“Thank you for a second chance, father!” The ninth prince rejoiced in excitement.
“I don’t care about the others, but the ninth prince must remain, or none of you will be leaving here today.”
At this moment, a dignified voice boomed out. A figure appeared out of nowhere in the majestic hall.
He was a middle-aged man. He also wore dragon robes and possessed a dignified bearing, that of a ruler’s.
He did not stand on the ground. Instead, he hovered in the air, slightly higher than the Blood Emperor on the throne. He looked down on the Blood Emperor from above.
The Blood Emperor’s expression changed several times with the person’s appearance. It became extremely sunken, but it was also became filled with powerlessness.
The Blood Emperor sucked in a deep breath and said sternly, “Xi Emperor, I never thought you would actually come personally.
He was the emperor of the Xi Empire, Xi Ziyun.
He directly intruded upon the imperial palace of the Blood Sun Empire, appearing in this throne room in an ostentatious manner.
