Chapter 2992: The Empyrean Demon Prison

“End it quickly. Don’t drag it out,” said the grand elder Cheng Ming. Before the armies and experts of the Empyrean Demon Cult, the friendly and amicable face that Cheng Ming showed Jian Chen vanished. It was replaced with solemnity. He used his old and vigorous voice to issue an undefiable order.

He felt like a supreme lord commanding the world.

The four generals and the numerous Primordial realm experts of the Empyrean Demon Cult were not surprised by this at all. Instead, it made perfect sense to them.

In the Empyrean Demon Cult, the grand elder truly did possess paramount authority. All affairs concerning the Empyrean Demon Cult, large or small, were basically determined by the grand elder.

As for the Empyrean Demon Lord, he was just a legendary figure in the Saints’ World. He rarely ever showed himself. Even in the Empyrean Demon Cult, he was elusive.

His existence was more like a mental pillar of support, a source of stability, for the Empyrean Demon Cult.

“As the grand elder wishes!”

The commanders of the nine armies littered around the Hefeng clan all replied loudly. The Infinite Primes all answered him too. In the next moment, everyone stopped holding back and unleashed their full strength.

“There’s no hurry in killing the great elders of the Hefeng clan. Keep them around for now and lock them up in the Empyrean Demon Prison,” Cheng Ming continued. As soon as he had finished talking, a square, metal prison of thirty meters wide landed heavily on a mountain.

The prison did not seem large, but it seemed to possess unbelievable weight. The moment it landed on the ground, not only did it completely destroy the mountain, but even the entire ground shook.

Demon Qi surged within the metal prison. Its interior seemed to be a world of its own, where there was only chaos at first glance.

When they heard the Empyrean Demon Prison, the four generals all shuddered inside. They were all surprised.

The Empyrean Demon Prison was something that the great elder had left behind. It was an extremely powerful high quality G.o.d artifact, specially used to imprison Grand Primes.

Now, they were actually using a precious treasure like the Empyrean Demon Prison to lock up a group of Chaotic Primes. It really did feel like overkill.

The four generals said nothing more. The grand elder had even taken out the Empyrean Demon Prison, so they realised just how important the Chaotic Primes of the Hefeng clan were to the grand elder.

At this moment, the grand elder struck again. He conjured a demonic hand that shrouded the sky, which directly fell towards the last Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime of the Hefeng clan.

As a Grand Prime, just a wave of his hand was devastating. Even a casual strike from him possessed alarming might. The hand immediately overwhelmed the expert from the Hefeng clan before conveniently tossing him into the Empyrean Demon Prison.

After that, the grand elder stopped helping out. Instead, he hovered in the air and watched the entire situation. However, after losing another Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime, the difference in strength between the Hefeng clan and the Empyrean Demon Cult grew wider and wider.

At the same time, in the distant s.p.a.ce beyond the Ice Pole Plane, a grey-haired old man tread through s.p.a.ce, covering a tremendous distance with each step. The stars around him constantly changed as he moved.

“

Now that I think about it, it’s already been over a hundred thousand years since I’ve left the clan. I wonder if the clan has produced any amazingly talented juniors during these years.

”

“

And the Hefeng clan. I wonder whether we’ve climbed above them.

”

“

Our Hefeng clan should be ranked third on the Ice Pole Plane now. However, once I return, our ranking won’t be third, but second.

”

Gazing at the Ice Pole Plane that rapidly grew larger in his eyes, an excited smile gradually oozed out of the old man’s face. He was extremely emotional and unable to stay calm.

Over a hundred thousand years ago, he had left the Hefeng clan as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime, travelling into the distant s.p.a.ce in search of an opportunity to break through.

Today, he was returning to the clan as a First Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. He was returning home gloriously.

He also understood that his return would definitely increase the Hefeng clan’s strength drastically. Their status on the Ice Pole Plane would rise as a result, and they would become the second greatest organisation only second to the Snow sect.

“

It’s already been a million years at the very least since any major changes have occurred to the rankings of organisations on the Ice Pole Plane. Today, once I set foot on the Ice Pole Plane, it’s time for them to change.

” With a smile on his face, the old man gazed at the approaching Ice Pole Plane. He was filled with antic.i.p.ation and pride.

However, right when he arrived beyond the Ice Pole Plane, he seemed to sense something, and his face immediately changed. He was overcome with fury. With a great bellow, his speed suddenly exploded, and he rushed towards the Hefeng clan with the tremendous pressure of a Grand Prime.

“Empyrean Demon Cult, how dare you attack our Hefeng clan! How bold of you!”

His voice rang out from the s.p.a.ce beyond the Ice Pole Plane, forming a powerful sound wave that blanketed the entire place.

His voice reached many organisations on the Ice Pole Plane, which immediately left the upper echelon of these organisations with utterly fascinating expressions. It went without saying just how irritated they were by this.

The Grand Prime ancestors of the Hefeng clan seemed to be all slain by the Empyrean Demon Lord, without a single one left.

“It’s great elder Wu!”

“It’s actually old Wu. G.o.d dammit, he’s vanished for over a hundred thousand years. Why has he suddenly returned at a time like this?”

“Old man Wu has actually broken through. Sigh, given the current circ.u.mstances, old man Wu can’t change anything even if he’s become a Grand Prime.”

“Go away, old Wu. Escape from here! Don’t come back!”

A series of cries rang out from the Hefeng clan. Normally, a clan gaining a Grand Prime would definitely be an event that could shake up an entire plane, but right now, the great elders of the Hefeng clan only felt grief.

With the Hefeng clan’s current circ.u.mstances, so what if they had gained a Grand Prime? He would just be seeking his own doom and digging his own grave.

“

The Hefeng clan actually has a newly-broken-through Grand Prime. Fair enough. I’ll use him to test out the secret techniques that master has pa.s.sed onto me.

” At the same time, Cheng Ming raised his head and gazed at the sky. Then he tossed a tablet reeking with demon Qi to Jian Chen and said, “Jian Chen, I’ll be leaving here for a moment. This is an ident.i.ty tablet that belongs to me. If you possess it, no one from the Empyrean Demon Cult will be bold enough to attack you, and you can freely order around anyone apart from Blade Demon and the three others.”

Pa.s.sing on some instructions in a hurry, Cheng Ming became wrapped in demon Qi as he rushed into outer s.p.a.ce.

Immediately, the two Grand Primes became locked in an intense battle in outer s.p.a.ce.

Jian Chen watched the intense battle unfold in outer s.p.a.ce. He wanted to use his Profound Sword Qi to a.s.sist the grand elder, but upon further consideration, he still ended up giving up on that thought.

There were no formations in outer s.p.a.ce to mask them from the senses of the soul. A battle between the grand elder and the new Grand Prime would definitely attract the attention of all the experts on the Ice Pole Plane. If he used the Profound Sword Qi in a situation like that, he could not be certain that he would not be recognised.

On the other hand, the Hefeng clan would be different. There were the demonic formations here to cover him, and the senses of the souls outside could not enter this place either. It was highly unlikely for anyone to recognise the Profound Sword Qi, as they were all just Chaotic Primes.

Compared to outer s.p.a.ce, it was clearly much more well-hidden for him to move around in the Hefeng clan.

Jian Chen moved freely through the armies of the Empyrean Demon Cult with the grand elder’s tablet. He directly flew away from the battlefield and found Yun Wufeng in a mountain range in the distance.

“Senior Yun, come with me to kill the enemy,” Jian Chen called Yun Wufeng and directly returned to the Hefeng clan. With Yun Wufeng’s strength as a Sixth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime, his partic.i.p.ation would definitely make this battle come to an end sooner.

“My friend, t- that’s the Empyrean Demon Cult’s battlefield up ahead. It might not be a good idea to barge in rashly. It’s very easy to cause misunderstandings.” Yun Wufeng was not so sure.

“You don’t have to worry, senior Yun. I’ve already reached an agreement with the Empyrean Demon Cult. Right now, we stand on the same side as the Empyrean Demon Cult,” said Jian Chen in guarantee.
