Chapter 2634: The Fall of the Provincial City

“S- save me…” The ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds, Sheng Ping, could only choke out a few words hoa.r.s.ely with great difficulty as Xu Ran’s hand wrapped around his neck. He stared at her old face and grey hair as he felt fear towards death, along with a slight unwillingness to accept this.

He was unwilling to accept the fact that he would die before he could personally destroy the Tian Yuan clan.

However, there was nothing he could do before the great strength of Xu Ran.

Although he was a Primordial realm expert, he was as weak as an ant before her.

Blood sprayed out as Xu Ran crushed Sheng Ping’s head, dispersing his soul.

The ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds had died.

The two Chaotic Primes who had gone to pin down Xu Ran did not even glance at Sheng Ping. They were indifferent. They only saw Xu Ran. Sheng Ping’s death was nothing important to them.

They arrived before Xu Ran very soon. Their energy erupted like a tidal wave as the laws of the world danced. They used their full strength right from the start.

The two of them were not weak. They were both Fifth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Primes, the same as Xu Ran.

The Four Symbols Alliance happened to be in need of people while they tried to destroy the Righteous Alliance, so they only sent three Chaotic Primes to a.s.sist the young star lord.

Two of them were at the Fifth Heavenly Layer, while the other one was at the Sixth Heavenly Layer.

They did not plan to try and kill Xu Ran. They only wanted to keep her busy momentarily. Once the Four Symbols Alliance emerged victorious, it was impossible for a Fifth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime to make any difference no matter how powerful she was before a Grand Prime.

“p.i.s.s off!” Xu Ran called out. She did not use any battle skills, nor did she use any secret techniques. She simply sent out two palm strikes and energy erupted. They contained the truths of the world as her hands shot towards the two Chaotic Primes steadily.

Boom! Boom!

With two deafening rumbles, the attacks from the two Chaotic Primes who were at the same level as Xu Ran were easily nullified. Her palm strikes still had not run out of power, continuing on to collide with their energy barriers. She forced the two of them back.

The expressions of the two Chaotic Primes changed. They glanced at each other and could see how stern the other was.

They were all Fifth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Primes, but Xu Ran was clearly much more powerful than them.

“This blasted old woman’s cultivation has risen once again. At this rate, she’ll break through before long,” the Chaotic Prime who protected the young star lord, Lin Fei, called out. His eyes were slightly sunken.

Out of the three Chaotic Primes allocated to the young star lord this time, Lin Fei was the most powerful. He was a Sixth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime.

Xu Ran moved. She immediately vanished, and when she reappeared, she had arrived before an Infinite Prime ancestor of the Heavenly Moon Empire several dozen kilometres away. She struck out viciously.

There was not a single Infinite Prime who could fight back against Xu Ran, who could even overwhelm experts at the same level as her. Immediately, the Infinite Prime also died to Xu Ran’s hands, suffering the same fate as Sheng Ping.

It was also at this moment that a crack suddenly appeared. The formation around the provincial city had finally fallen, and the countless cultivators inside were directly exposed.

Without the protection of the barrier, the energy in the air immediately surged down. The powerful shockwaves swept through all the structures in the city like it was unstoppable. Many buildings and stores were ripped to pieces by the shockwaves.

It was not just the structures. Even the many cultivators in the city were like ants. They were either blown away by the shockwaves, spraying blood along the way, or they were directly torn to shreds. There were heavy casualties.

In just a few seconds, basically the entire provincial city was flattened, reduced to ruins. Only the final layer of formations around the Tian Yuan clan remained intact.

“We already attacked the Tian Yuan clan. You said you would spare us…”

“Four Symbols Alliance, you are untrustworthy! You go back on your words…”

…

A few cultivators roared out angrily within the city, along with many miserable cries. The cultivators that managed to survive scrambled away desperately, fleeing in all directions. The fear for death enveloped the entire place.

The young star lord hovered high in the air. He stared at the ruined city in satisfaction, ignoring the cries of the cultivators. He sn.i.g.g.e.red and said, “Jian Chen, your Tian Yuan clan can’t last much longer. It’s just a pity that you probably won’t be able to witness the destruction of your clan. That’s the greatest pity to me.”

“But we need to deal with that old woman from the Tian Yuan clan as soon as possible, as she’s pinning down two of my people. She’ll get directly in the way of destroying the Tian Yuan clan,” murmured the young star lord. Afterwards, he said to Lin Fei, “You go as well. The three of you should be able to kill that old woman if you work together.”

“Young star lord, your safety…” Lin Fei became rather troubled as he was responsible for protecting the young star lord.

The young star lord took out the Lifebound Plume he had received from the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance and said, “I have a way to protect myself. Don’t worry.”

Lin Fei glanced past the feather in the young star lord’s hands and hesitate slightly. In the end, he nodded. “Alright then. It’s just that Xu Ran is far too powerful. She can challenge those at higher cultivations than herself. Even if I join in, we’ll probably only be able to pin her down. Killing her will be extremely difficult. However, I do have a way of trapping her.”

Lin Fei stared at Xu Ran from a distance. Even though Xu Ran’s cultivation was below his, Lin Fei felt extremely pressured. He was grim.

“The Heavens s.h.i.+ne and the Earth Reflect, Eight Poles of Blood!” Suddenly, Lin Fe called out. He formed a seal with both hands and used a secret technique.

Immediately, powerful vital energy radiated from his body. They flared up like they were on fire as a dense mist of blood enveloped Lin Fei completely.

Through the mist, Lin Fei’s face rapidly paled and became haggard.

This was because he was rapidly burning his essence blood along with his vital energies. He was paying a huge price to use an ancient and powerful secret technique.

“Seal!” Lin Fei called out from the mist of blood. His voice was filled with feebleness as if the secret technique had drained all his power in such a short amount of time.

As he called out, eight blood-red pillars suddenly appeared around Xu Ran. Every single pillar was completely red; it was like they were completely condensed from blood.

The eight pillars stood in a formation, isolating the s.p.a.ce there and sealing in Xu Ran.

Immediately, Xu Ran vanished before everyone. The s.p.a.ce where she previously stood was replaced by red light. It was vague and hazy as if she was no longer in this world.

“Her battle prowess is very great. I can’t keep her sealed for too long. It can only last for three days,” Lin Fei let out a breath of relief as he said haggardly to the other two.

He had to pay quite the price to use this secret technique.
