In the depths of the imperial palace of the northern region of the Cloud Plane, three ancient stone towers stood silently in a forbidden ground that forbade anyone from entering.
The three stone towers represented the peak power of the Xi dynasty. In the Xi dynasty, apart from the current Emperor Xi, the three other Chaotic Primes spent most of their time in seclusion in the stone towers. They did not pay any attention to the matters of the world. Only extremely severe matters that could threaten the safety of the Xi dynasty would alarm the three of them.
However, at this moment, the three Chaotic Primes who originally resided in the three stone towers had all gathered together. Even the dignified Xi Emperor sat in the air sternly.
"With the breakthrough of the Heavenless Demon Exalt of the Tian Empire, a storm of blood is about to descend on the Cloud Plane. Those who will be affected will be the peak organisations that stand at the apex of the plane. However, our Xi Empire is one of the four eternal empires on the Cloud Plane. We control over eighty percent of the comprehension in the northern region, so it's impossible for our Xi Empire to remain unaffected. We'll definitely be dragged in. There are only two paths before us right now. We don't know about this matter. The first is to yield to the Tian Empire and become their vassal. From today onwards, we'll follow the orders of the Tian Empire. The second option was to join the resistance and resist the Tian Empire's path to supremacy. May I ask what the three of you think about this? " The oldest ancestor, Xi Lianxue, said emotionlessly as he glanced at the other three.
Xi Haoxuan, Xi Haoming, and the current Emperor Xi, Xi Ziyun all fell silent.
"Although there have been instances of the forty-nine great planes being united in the history of the Saints' World, it's rare. As a result, in my opinion, it will definitely not be easy for the Tian Empire to unify the Cloud Plane this time. With the Heaven's Link Peak leading the way, they'll definitely stop the Tian Empire with everything they have. Even if the Heavenless Demon Exalt's cultivation has broken through and the lord of the Heaven's Link Peak is no longer his opponent, it's still possible, "After a moment of silence, Emperor Xi's father, Xi Haoxuan, broke the silence and analysed seriously.
"That's right. After all, before the Heavenless Demon Exalt broke through, the lord of the Heaven's Link Peak was known as the strongest on the Cloud Plane. His battle prowess was extraordinary, and he rarely had an opponent at the same level. Even if he's no longer the Heavenless Demon Exalt's opponent, he can still put up a fight at the very least," Xi Haoming said. He was extremely confident in the lord of the Heaven's Link Peak.
"It doesn't matter whether the lord of the Heaven's Link Peak is the Heavenless Demon Exalt's opponent or not. If our Xi Empire submits to the Tian Empire, we'll definitely be stopped by the Luoshen clan. After all, the Luoshen clan receives a large amount of tributes from our Xi dynasty every year. Once we submit to the Tian Empire, they'll lose the opportunity to receive tributes from us forever. As a result, they definitely won't watch us submit to the Tian Empire, "Xi Haoming said. His voice was firm as he continued, "Compared to submitting to the Tian Empire and being completely obedient to the Tian Empire, I would rather maintain this relationship with the Godsfallen clan."
"What if I suggest we join the Tian Empire?" Xi Lianxue raised an eyebrow and looked at the three of them.
"Ancestral emperor, we have to be careful about this …"
Emperor Xi, Xi Haoming, and Xi Haoxuan all objected. None of them were willing to submit to the Tian Empire.
The ancestral emperor of the Xi Empire, Xi Lianxue, nodded, "Since the three of you are not optimistic about the unification of the Tian Empire, then …" As soon as he said that, a sliver of black demonic aura suddenly flashed through Xi Lianxue's eyes. His face immediately became cold, and with a thought, a powerful pulse of energy immediately radiated out. Countless strands of energy appeared out of nowhere, enveloping Xi Ziyun, Xi Haoxuan, and Xi Haoming.
In the hearts of Xi Ziyun, Xi Haoxuan, and Xi Haoming, not only was Xi Lianxue the ancestral emperor of the Xi dynasty, but he was also the senior they respected the most. The three of them had never thought that Xi Lianxue, who was related to them by blood, would suddenly move against them.
As a result, the three of them were firmly trapped by the strands of energy as they were caught off guard. Moreover, the strands of energy had penetrated deep into their flesh. Not only did it restrict their movements, but it also sealed up their cultivation and the senses of their souls.
"Ancestral emperor, Y- you …" Xi Haoxuan and Xi Haoming stared at Xi Lianxue in disbelief. At that moment, they only felt their hearts thump with pain.
Emperor Xi, Xi Ziyun, had a sunken face. He glared at the emotionless Xi Lianxue and said coldly, "Ancestral emperor, why are you doing this?"
"I can't get you to join the Tian Empire, so I can only do this. Our Xi dynasty will stand on the side of the Tian Empire when they unify the Cloud Plane this time. We will assist them with everything we have," said Xi Lianxue.
Similar matters did not just happen to the Xi Empire in the northern region. The Blood Sun Empire in the southern region, the Zihao Empire in the eastern region, and the Jinjian Empire in the western region all faced the same fate as the Xi dynasty at different times. All the peak experts of the empires who did not support the Tian Empire were imprisoned through various methods by the most respected people.
Within a short period of time, the four great immortal empires that were well known in the Cloud Plane had quietly changed owners one after another.
The black-robed Heavenless Demon Exalt and the two other Grand Primes of the Tian Empire gathered in a majestic hall within the imperial palace of the central region of the Cloud Plane. They were all silent.
The Heavenless Demon Exalt sat in the air with his eyes closed. The two Grand Primes of the Tian Empire stared at him without blinking at all.
At this moment, the Heavenless Demon Exalt suddenly snapped open his eyes. He said indifferently, "The four eternal empires of the Cloud Plane are under my control now. We can begin the plan."
"Fantastic. With the submission of the four empires, we'll have absolute control over the four regions. We just need to focus on dealing with the peak clans now," the two Grand Primes beamed with joy.
A vicious light suddenly flashed through the Heavenless Demon Exalt's eyes. He said coldly, "Before dealing with them, I want to eliminate the dissidents first. I'll start with the Heavenly Demon Religion on the Cloud Plane."
"What? You want to move against the Heavenly Demon Religion? Are you confident about dealing with the great elder of the Heavenly Demon Religion …"
"Provoking the Heavenly Demon Religion at a time like this probably isn't a wise decision …" The two Grand Primes of the Tian Empire became fearful when the Heavenly Demon Religion was mentioned.
"It's fine. Although the great elder of the Heavenly Demon Religion has a glorious battle record in the past, the strongest of his opponents are only at the Second Heavenly Layer. As a result, I'm certain that the great elder of the Heavenly Demon Religion is only a Third Heavenly Layer Grand Prime at most. There's nothing to fear. Moreover, the reason why I'm starting with the Heavenly Demon Religion is because the soul beads and blood beads refined from the blood and energy of souls in the branches of the Heavenly Demon Religion are exactly what I lack for the treasure, "the Heavenless Demon Exalt said coldly. As he said that, he reached out.
Immediately, several dozen cultivators below the Primordial realm across the Cloud Plane died. The Space Rings on their fingers all exploded, and a small, black flag flew out. After absorbing all the souls of the cultivators, it shot off with lightning speed.
At the same time, streaks of black light shot over from afar before the Heavenless Demon Exalt. They turned into small, black flags that hovered there silently. There were a total of eighty of them.
