Chapter 3398: Surrounded by Enemies
The Wind Venerable had already left the Nine Clouds Plane, but his arrival had stirred up a colossal storm on the Nine Clouds Plane.
After his departure, all of the peak experts on the Nine Clouds Plane emerged from secluded cultivation. Figures flickered through the sky one after another. In the blink of an eye, many experts had already gathered in the space beyond the Nine Clouds Plane
Among these people, even the weakest were Chaotic Primes. There were even many Grand Primes in the mix.
Without any exception, their eyes were fixed in the same direction. They all felt mixed emotions as their hearts surged.
The space that they looked at twisted violently. The turbulent energy that spilt out had already cracked the space there, turning it into eternal darkness and preventing it from ever healing.
A startling pressure permeated the darkness. The pressure was so great that even weaker Grand Primes were unable to get close to it. As a matter of fact, the Chaotic Primes were forced to maintain their distance from far away.
If it were possible to see through the darkness, they would see a young man in white standing within the shattered space. The violent spatial storm and flows of energy were completely incapable of approaching him.
He was far too powerful. As the energy around him surged, even the shattered space was unable to close up. The spatial storm and flows of energy were forcefully obliterated by his pressure.
The young man was the paramount existence of the Nine Clouds Plane, the Heaven-splitting Ancestor!
A sword condensed from the force of the world hovered above his head. The tip was directed straight towards the top of his head.
The Heaven-splitting Ancestor was completely immobilised. He could only condense all of his energy to prevent the sword from falling.
The mighty supreme expert of the Nine Clouds Plane had now been reduced to such a fate. None of the experts from the Nine Clouds Plane could remain calm.
The Heaven-splitting Ancestor clearly sensed the arrival of the native experts of the Nine Clouds Plane, which left him with a darkened expression. He was furious inside.
Who was he after all? He was the supreme ruler of the Nine Clouds Plane, yet he was being watched by a group of ants that he normally did not even take seriously, treated like a monkey in a zoo. This was an utter disgrace to him.
Unfortunately, he was immobilised right now and unable to talk. There was nothing he could do about his current circumstances.
The Wind Venerable’s control over his power was extremely delicate, such that the sword he condensed from the force of the world required all of the Heaven-splitting Ancestor’s strength to stop. As a result, he did not even have the strength to talk.
“Hahaha, Heaven-splitting Ancestor, I never expected you to end up in such a state. How joyous!” At this moment, an elderly voice rang out in the distance. An expert shrouded in a cloak seemed to emerge from the depths of the sea of stars, immediately arriving before the Heaven-splitting Ancestor.
He was a Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. His appearance was obscured. It was only possible to tell from his voice that he was an old man.
“The Wind Sovereign has done well. Heaven-splitting Ancestor, someone like you who’s committed heinous deeds with his hands dripping with blood shouldn’t still be alive.” As he said that, the cloaked old man’s eyes shone brightly.
A sword silently appeared in his hand, radiating with powerful sword intent. The pressure of a high quality god artifact engulfed the entire Nine Clouds Plane.
The experts native to the Nine Clouds Plane immediately recognised that the cloaked old man had come with hostility, so they all retreated with drastically changing expressions. No one dared to interfere or intervene.
“Heaven-splitting Ancestor, do you still remember the Heaven-destroying Sword sect you destroyed a million years ago? In the past, you forcefully demanded our Heaven-destroying Sword sect to change our name because it conflicted with your name. We refused to abide, so you personally destroyed our entire sect.”
“Our Heaven-destroying Sword sect had almost a million disciples in total, all of which perished at your hands. I was the only one who escaped. I could never forgive such a bloody grievance.”
“Over the past million years, I lay in hiding and dragged out an ignoble existence, constantly thinking about getting revenge. When I heard you were being chased by the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, I was even prepared to give you one final strike right before death, but unfortunately, you were not as injured as I imagined at that time. I was not completely confident, so I never did it.”
“But now, hahahahaha, the heavens truly be on my side. You’re suppressed by the Wind Sovereign’s powers now. This is the perfect opportunity to kill you.”
“My Heaven-destroying Sword sect will finally get its revenge.”
“Die, Heaven-splitting Ancestor!” the cloaked old man suddenly bellowed out. The high quality god artifact sword in his hand immediately erupted with light. A colossal strand of sword Qi directly shot towards the Heaven-splitting Ancestor.
This was the full-powered strike from a Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. With the sword Qi’s emergence, the entire world paled. The powerful sword Qi filled with the wrath of vengeance immediately arrived before the Heaven-splitting Ancestor.
The Heaven-splitting Ancestor’s eyes narrowed. He immediately became extremely stern. Under normal circumstances, he obviously did not fear the cloaked old man. The cloaked old man would not even be able to harm him.
But right now, he was suppressed by the Wind Venerable’s force of the world, which required all of his strength to resist. Otherwise, once the sword Qi condensed from the force of the world fell on him, he would truly be dead.
But with that, he was unable to defend against the cloaked old man’s attack.
However, right when the cloaked old man’s sword Qi was about to land on the Heaven-splitting Ancestor, an invisible force spread out, dissipating the cloaked old man’s sword Qi immediately.
The cloaked old man was taken aback, but he soon let out a furious roar. “The Wind Sovereign’s power has suppressed you, but it’s also granted you a layer of protection. Wind Sovereign, how can a vicious, narrow-minded scoundrel like the Heaven-splitting Ancestor be treated so kindly? If you don’t want to dirty your hands by killing him, then so be it, but why are you preventing others from killing him too?”
“Wind Sovereign, please descend with your divine strength and directly kill the Heaven-splitting Ancestor!” the cloaked old man yelled out.
At this moment, another figure crossed through the starry sky and arrived just beyond the Nine Clouds Plane.
He was a man dressed in armour with a burly figure. His entire body was filled with an explosive force.
The man was the Martial God of the Martial God clan, a Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime.
Compared to the cloaked old man, the Martial God’s strength was clearly greater.
“I can’t kill you now? That’s not a problem. I’ll wait a century then. After a century, even if you survive, you’ll be spent after holding off the Wind Sovereign’s suppression. By then, you’ll be extremely feeble.”
“I can’t kill you in your peak state, but killing you when you’re exhausted isn’t much of a problem,” the Martial God said coldly before sitting down in outer space and preparing to wait for a century.
At this moment, a streak of green light crossed through outer space with unbelievable speed, covering billions of kilometres with each instant. It immediately arrived near the Nine Clouds Plane.
Even the Martial God could not help but look over at the terrifying speed.
“And who did I think it was? It’s the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance of the Loneheaven Plane. What, have you also come to kill the Heaven-splitting Ancestor?” the Martial God said indifferently.
The asura light dissipated. A middle-aged man in azure robes with a crown on his head appeared. He was the Azure Peng King!
“Please don’t get the wrong idea, senior Martial God. I’m only here for the show,” the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance beamed with smiles and spoke very kindly.
“I’m afraid that’s a lie and you’re actually after the Heaven-splitting clan’s resources after the Heaven-splitting Ancestor dies.” The Martial God sneered.
“I would never, I would never. With the Martial God and this senior present, how could I try something like that? I’m just curious about the grievance between the Martial God clan and the Heaven-splitting clan,” the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance asked curiously.
The Martial God clan was an archaean clan in the past. Even though they had already declined and lost that title, their heritage was still extremely terrifying. They were still a force to be reckoned with.
When he heard that, the Martial God’s gaze turned cold. “In the past, the Heaven-splitting Ancestor infiltrated our Martial God clan and tried to steal the Divine Spear of World Destruction while it was weakened. In the end, we discovered him and three of our Grand Primes were heavily injured by the Heaven-splitting Ancestor, with over a dozen late Chaotic Primes slain. Our Martial God clan was reduced to ruins by the battle too.”
“We will get our revenge for this!”
