Chapter 2250: Heavenless’ End

At the same time, all the Grand Primes who were gathered outside the G.o.dsfallen clan stared in the direction of the Tian Empire in shock. They were absolutely frightened.

“The great elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult is actually so terrifying. He has reduced the imperial capital of the Tian Empire to nothing with just a single strike…”

“That is far too terrifying, just far too terrifying. Even when the Heavenless Demon Exalt worked with the two other Grand Primes, they failed to prevent the destruction of the imperial capital…”

“The Tian Empire is done for. No one can save them after they have offended such a terrifying figure…”

“The Heavenless Demon Exalt had it coming. Of all the people he could provoke, he just had to choose the Empyrean Demon Cult…”

…

The experts who stood at the apex of the plane discussed outside the G.o.dsfallen clan. All of them were particularly delighted about the arrogant Heavenless Demon Exalt’s fate.

There was also some gladness. They were glad that they did not choose to become enemies with the Empyrean Demon Cult. Otherwise, they would struggle to imagine the consequences.

The lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak stood with his arms behind his back. His eyes were extremely deep. He stared in the direction of the central region and said slowly, “The Heavenless Demon Exalt became the most powerful on the Cloud Plane after reaching the Fourth Heavenly Layer, reaching mid Grand Prime. It made his confidence swell. He reached the conclusion that he was no weaker than the great elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult from the great elder’s past battles, but in the end, he still underestimated the great elder far too much.”

“The strength of the great elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult has exceeded my imagination. The might of his palm strike is actually enough to s.h.i.+ft the position of the Cloud Plane. Now I’m even doubting whether the great elder was using his full strength against the three experts of the G.o.d clan back then.”

…

“What terrifying strength. If I’ve guessed correctly, he should be the Empyrean Demon Lord commander Yan mentioned…” said the white-robed uncle Ming sternly as stared at the central region from the air above the ruins of the Xi Empire’s imperial capital.

“The Empyrean Demon Lord?” Ming Dong asked seriously. He looked at uncle Ming with some interest.

Uncle Ming said sternly, “The Empyrean Demon Lord is also known as the great elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult. The great elder is quite a mysterious figure in the Saints’ World. He has only shown himself a handful of times and rarely makes contact with experts of the same level. As a result, the great elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult seems especially mysterious in the eyes of many.”

“However, he always took on the t.i.tle as the great elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult in the Saints’ World. The t.i.tle of Empyrean Demon Lord was coined by a few experts of the Saints’ World ever since he fought a hall elder and two great elders of the G.o.d clan. As a result, very few people know the actual name of Empyrean Demon Lord.”

Uncle Ming continued, “The Empyrean Demon Lord is an extremely terrifying figure. I once heard from commander Yan that over a hundred thousand years ago, he fought against the great elder in outer s.p.a.ce. Back then, the cultivation of the great elder and commander Yan was similar; they were both Sixth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes.” Uncle Ming looked at Ming Dong and asked, “Ninth majesty, who do you think emerged victorious from this battle?”

“It’s obviously uncle Yan. I heard from my senior sister that uncle Yan’s cultivation method was personally created by my master while the battle skills he uses comes from my master as well. Across the entire Saints’ World, there’s probably no one who can match up to uncle Yan at the same level of cultivation,” Ming Dong said rather confidently. He knew extremely well that every single divine general within the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng was picked through close screening. Every single one of them was an elite of the elites, a prodigy among prodigies. With their outstanding talent as a foundation, coupled with the devoted nurturing of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, these divine generals possessed strength great enough to claim supremacy among the same level and challenge those at higher cultivation levels.

As G.o.dkings, they would definitely be supreme G.o.dkings who could make it onto the G.o.dkings’ Throne. At the Primordial realm, they would be able to rival prodigies.

And commander Yan was the best of the best among all the divine generals. He was an amalgamation of powerful cultivation methods, battle skills, and various wondrous secret techniques. As a result, he was so powerful that he did not pale in comparison even when compared to the direct disciples of Grand Exalts. His only disadvantage was that he had no right to learn the Authority of the Grand Exalt.

How was it possible for someone as impressive as that to lose in a fair battle?

However, uncle Ming shook his head after listening to Ming Dong’s rambling of absolute certainty. He sighed deeply, “Commander Yan lost that battle.”

“What? Uncle Yan was actually defeated?” Ming Dong was taken aback when he heard that. Disbelief filled his face.

Yun Xiaoyan, who was familiar with commander Yan, let her little mouth hang agape as she showed shock.

Commander Yan of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng was someone akin to a G.o.d of war in the Saints’ World. He created undefeated legends one after another. He had never encountered an equal at the same level of cultivation, nor did he ever suffer defeat. Even the ancestral emperor of her Thousand Lotus Empire showed great admiration towards commander Yan.

“That’s right, commander Yan lost. I heard this personally from commander Yan. He completely admitted his loss and even said that if the direct disciples of Grand Exalts encountered the Empyrean Demon Lord, there would only be defeat as long as they did not use the Authority of the Grand Exalt. Ninth majesty, do you understand just how powerful the Empyrean Demon Lord is now?” Uncle Ming said sternly.

Ming Dong gasped deeply. His gaze towards the demonic cloud in the sky underwent some changes.

Only Ming Dong, Yun Xiaoyan, and uncle Ming could hear the conversation. Under uncle Ming’s interference, the empress, Xi Yu, and the ancestral emperors heard nothing at all.

“Uncle Ming, let’s return to the Tian Yuan clan. This has nothing to do with us anymore,” said Ming Dong.

…

Within the bottomless chasm created by the palm strike, the black-robed man held Xiao Ling gently. He said softly, “Xiao Ling, they’ve abused you. Now, master will take revenge for you.”

As he said that, the black-robed man gently clenched his hand, and the injured Heavenless Demon Exalt and the two other Grand Primes slowly drifted up under the restraint of pure demonic aura. They arrived before the black-robed man and Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling immediately became frightened at the sight of the Heavenless Demon Exalt. She hid behind the black-robed man and stuck out her head from behind him. She stared at the Heavenless Demon Exalt viciously as she said fearfully, “Master, it’s him. It was this baddy. He’s so scary. He bullied Xiao Ling and even said he would carve Xiao Ling to pieces. Sob sob…” As if Xiao Ling had recalled the fright she experienced in the dark, scary world when she had been captured by the Heavenless Demon Exalt, she immediately burst into tears again.

“Carved to pieces. Good, very good!” The black-robed man growled as his gaze became piercing. He radiated with killing intent.

Who are you? It’s impossible for the great elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult to possess such strength,” the Heavenless Demon Exalt struggled as hard as he could under the restraints of the black-robed man. He glared at the black-robed man before him as he called out in regret.

Undisguised dread filled the depths of his eyes. The strength of the black-robed man was so great that he felt powerless from the bottom of his heart due to fear.

Only then did he suddenly realise just how puny he was with his cultivation as a Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime.

“I am the great elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult,” said the black-robed man. Then he opened his hand and the power of slaughter condensed. It formed sharp blades that rapidly revolved around the Heavenless Demon Exalt.

Immediately, demonic blood that pulsed with powerful energy fell. The Heavenless Demon Exalt became littered with wounds in a single instance. Flesh and blood tossed about; he was being carved to pieces alive.

It seemed like it was exactly because of what the Heavenless Demon Exalt had said to Xiao Ling to scare her that the situation would be reversed, and he would be suffering such a fate.

“Impossible, impossible…” The Heavenless Demon Exalt roared out furiously as he began to struggle as hard as he could. He wanted to break free. He was a mighty Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, yet he was being cut to pieces while restrained right now. This was something even more difficult to accept than death to the Heavenless Demon Exalt.

After all, Grand Primes all had dignity.

However, the restraints around him condensed from demonic aura were far more powerful than he had imagined them to be. Even with his strength, he was unable to break free.

It was even more obvious whether the two other experts of the Tian Empire could break free or not. They could only watch the Heavenless Demon Exalt that they depended on the most suffer from humiliating torture.

Xiao Ling, on the other hand, had already covered up her little head, unwilling to see such a b.l.o.o.d.y scene.

“My Empyrean Demon Chains are not as simple as a strand of pure demonic aura. They have been refined from the essence of the six worlds over a lengthy period of time. It’s as tough as a high quality G.o.d artifact, so you should stop wasting your efforts,” the black-robed man said coldly. The blades under his control moved faster and faster, and in under a minute, the Heavenless Demon Exalt had truly been carved to pieces. His entire body had been reduced to a white skeleton.

Even his head was not spared. It was reduced to a skull, only leaving behind a flickering soul.

The great elder looked at the Empyrean Demon Exalt’s soul, and his gaze flickered with a certain light.

Sensing his gaze, the Heavenless Demon Exalt seemed to realise something. He immediately s.h.i.+vered as great fear rose up from the bottom of his heart. He said using his soul in a hurry, “Don’t kill me, don’t kill me. I will yield to you. I will become a servant of yours and follow your commands.”
