Chapter 2242: Upheaval on the Cloud Plane

Just as Jian Chen returned to the Soaring Clouds Peak victoriously with Bai Yu, the distant Cloud Plane had already been reduced to a state of chaotic battle.

The Tian Alliance led by the Tian Empire and the Resistance Alliance led by the Heaven’s Link Peak were already engaged in a full-blown war.

Even though the Resistance Alliance also possessed around half of the peak clans on the Cloud Plane, they were forced into a constant retreat in the war against the Tian Alliance.

They did not lose to the Tian Alliance in terms of peak experts, but the Tian Alliance possessed the Heavenless Demon Exalt, which directly pulled them apart.

Coupled with the entry of the four eternal empires into the Tian Alliance, not only did the Tian Alliance possess an absolute advantage in terms of peak strength, but the majority of their troops were extremely powerful as well.

Led by the four eternal empires, many Primordial realm experts and countless soldiers clashed with people of similar strength from the Resistance Alliance.

The Cloud Plane smoked as battles were waged across the entire place. Corpses were piled on top of corpses as rivers of blood appeared. It was like a living hell.

The lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak had clashed with the Heavenless Demon Exalt several times in outer space already. He was heavily injured now and had retreated out of the central region with the people of the Resistance Alliance, guarding the northern region.

The central region had completely fallen under the control of the Tian Empire now.

Moreover, the Empyrean Demon Cult’s branch on the Cloud Plane had been destroyed by the Heavenless Demon Exalt. Aside from Huai An, the other two vice-leaders had died in battle.

Huai An had chosen to betray the Empyrean Demon Cult and yield to the Heavenless Demon Exalt.

The Divine Kingdom of Pingtian in the southern region had not been affected by the war yet due to being rather remote. They remained the same as before.

However, all the cultivators in the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian lived in fear. They were afraid of the day that the battlefield would reach them.

Compared to them, the Tian Yuan clan in the Dong’an province was far more composed. It was as if they did not worry about the battle at all.

Of course, their composure completely originated from something Ming Dong had said, “Don’t worry, everyone. As long as I’m here, they won’t be able to touch a single hair of the Tian Yuan clan even if the Heavenless Demon Exalt personally comes.”

Although what Ming Dong had said sounded completely absurd, everyone in the Tian Yuan clan believed it firmly.

This was all because a peak Chaotic Prime followed Ming Dong wherever he went!

And it was exactly because of that that the Tian Yuan clan remained peaceful when war sprang up on the Cloud Plane. Those who were cultivating continued to cultivate, while those who were doing other things did their things. Everything continued in good order.

At this moment, a group of several dozen people covered in blood flew towards the Dong’an province. They approached the Tian Yuan clan with rapid speed.

Ming Dong, who was strolling through the gardens with Yun Xiaoyan, seemed to sense the arrival of these people. A cold light immediately flickered through his eyes.

“They really aren’t afraid of death to provoke our Tian Yuan clan,” Ming Dong said coldly with killing intent.

However, at this moment, the first elder of the Tian Yuan clan, Xi Yu, immediately took to the air. She looked at the several dozen people who approached the clan rapidly, and joy immediately flooded her eyes.

“Mother!” Xi Yu called out and immediately went up to receive them.

“Yu’er!” The graceful woman at the very front was also joyful. She arrived before Xi Yu with just a single step and extended her arms, embracing Xi Yu tightly.

This woman happened to be the empress of the Xi Empire.

However, she was currently covered with blood. Even many of the people behind her were soaked in blood and wounded.

“Mother, what has happened to you? What has happened in the palace? And where’s father? Is father well?” Xi Yu’s expression changed drastically when she saw the blood on the empress. Her heart became filled with unease.

At this moment, Ming Dong had also taken to the skies with Yun Xiaoyan, watching from afar.

“Yu’er, it’s not the time to talk about that. Immediately leave with all the people of the Tian Yuan clan. The sooner, the better. There’s not much time left,” the empress said frantically. She pulled Xi Yu along with her as she flew into the Tian Yuan clan. There was no time for her to explain at all.

“Mother, what has happened?” Xi Yu was uneasy as she asked in complete concern.

“Don’t ask about it for now. Yu’er, listen to your mother. Immediately gather the important people.” The empress said sternly before looking at a short, old man behind her, “Subject Tian, please prepare the teleportation formation immediately.”

The short old man was also an Infinite Prime. He nodded in response to the empress and immediately began to cast down a teleportation formation.

“It’s very safe here. You don’t need to go anywhere,” at this moment, Ming Dong arrived with Yun Xiaoyan and said calmly.

The empress glanced at Ming Dong. Even though she did not recognise him, she could tell that he was only a Godking. Coupled with how urgent the situation was, she was in no mood to waste words on Ming Dong. She only ordered subject Tian to cast down the teleportation formation faster.

“Hahaha, you still want to leave? Empress, do you still think you can leave?” At this moment, a shout rang out from far away. A group of people rapidly approached the area from the distance. They moved extremely quickly, entering the territory of the provincial city in the blink of an eye and surrounding the empress’ group.

The empress’ expression immediately became extremely ugly. She looked at Xi Yu beside her and determination flooded her eyes. She thought, “I never thought they would arrive so soon. Even if I have to die here, I must send Yu’er away safely. I can’t let anything happen to her.”

The leading old man in the new group of people glanced at the empress and Xi Yu. He sneered, “Empress, why aren’t you running anymore? But today, not only will you fail to escape, but even your daughter, princess Xi Yu, will face death. The Tian Yuan clan, a puny little clan, will be destroyed because of you as well.”

The old man would have been better off if he did not mention the Tian Yuan clan. Ming Dong’s face immediately sank when he heard these words, and killing intent filled his eyes. He sneered, “Really? I’d like to see who’s bold enough to touch the Tian Yuan clan today.”

The old man looked at Ming Dong in great surprise. At that moment, he had even begun to doubt his ears. A mere Godking was actually speaking to him like that.

Not only was the old man stunned, but even the empress looked at Ming Dong in surprise.

Recovering, the old man sniggered. He looked at Ming Dong coldly and said, “I can wipe out the mere Tian Yuan clan with a single gesture. I’ll show you how exactly I destroy this little clan.”

With that, the old man pressed his hand towards the Tian Yuan clan.

Immediately, the powerful pressure of a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime surged out from his body. A huge hand appeared in the air, engulfing the Tian Yuan clan with frightening ripples of energy.
