"The protective formation here is not weak. Even ordinary Primordial Chaos experts will find it difficult to break through it. Step back." Back up, "uncle Ming said to everyone. Once they had retreated to a certain distance away, he directly threw a punch at the protective formation.
Immediately, the protective formation of the forbidden grounds erupted with scorching light. Surging energy surged out from the depths of the ground and the three towers, gathering within the protective formation.
The protective formation began to absorb all the energy in the surroundings on its own, pushing its defences to the limit.
However, in the end, the protective formation was still unable to fend off uncle Ming's punch. After pushing its defences to the limit, it was shattered by uncle Ming's punch.
As soon as the defensive array was broken, the three ancient pagodas were exposed. After destroying the protective formation, uncle Ming's punch did not slow down at all. It struck the three towers at the same time with earth-shaking ripples of energy.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the three ancient pagodas that had stood there for who knew how many tens of thousands of years trembled slightly and turned into a pile of ashes that scattered with the wind.
The ancient pagoda disappeared, revealing three figures. At this moment, these three figures were sitting together with their eyes closed. Black chains were wrapped around their bodies.
The black chains were completely condensed from pure energy. Not only did they bind their bodies, but they also sealed up their cultivation.
The three of them were the current Emperor Xi, Xi Ziyun, and the two ancestral emperors of the Xi empire, Xi Haoxuan and Xi Haoming.
"Ziyun!"
"Father!"
The empress and Xi Yu's faces changed drastically when they saw Xi Ziyun in his dragon robes and bound by black chains. They both cried out and charged over without any regard.
At this moment, the black chains binding Xi Ziyun and the other two quickly dimmed. After the protective formation and the three ancient pagodas were destroyed, the black chains seemed to have lost their source of energy. After a few breaths of time, they completely disappeared.
With the disappearance of the black chains, Xi Ziyun and the other two abruptly opened their tightly shut eyes. Immediately, a sharp light shot out from their eyes.
The three of them recovered all their cultivation in a single instance. Their presences surged into the sky, completely displaying the powerful presences of Chaotic Primes.
"Erase your presences. Don't hurt Yu 'er." The empress let out a sigh of relief when she saw the three of them recover. She immediately pulled Xi Yu behind her and scolded her.
The three of them were surprised when they heard that. They all withdrew their presences, and with a single thought, they saw the surroundings. Immediately, their expressions changed.
"What the hell happened? Why has the imperial palace of our Xi empire become like this … "
"Where's the ancestral emperor? Where is he? We have something to ask him …"
Xi Haoming and Xi Haoxuan both called out.
Clearly, after being trapped by Xi Lianxue, the three of them had no idea what had happened in the outside world. Now that they had broken free, they were shocked by the sight that greeted them.
Next, the Empress recounted everything that had happened during this period of time to the three of them in detail. After listening to the empress' story, Xi Ziyun, Xi Haoxuan, and Xi Haoming finally understood that the Cloud Plane had undergone an overwhelming change while they were trapped.
"The ancestral emperor has actually been reduced to a demonic puppet. Why? Why …"
"No wonder the ancestral emperor would suddenly attack the three of us. As it turns out, he's no longer the ancestral emperor we know …"
The three of them became sorrowful when they heard that Xi Lianxue had been reduced to a demonic puppet.
"Let's put the ancestral emperor's matter aside for now." At this moment, Emperor Xi's father, Xi Haoxuan, said sternly, "The changes of the Cloud Plane are a disaster for all the organisations that stand on the Cloud Plane. It's very difficult to say whether our Xi empire can survive this disaster. Let's properly think about how we should deal with this disaster."
"The current Cloud Plane has already been split into two factions, the Tian Empire and the Heaven's Link Peak. Unless our Xi empire gives up on what we have here, we can only join one of the two factions. We have no choice but to remain neutral," said Xi Haoming.
"Regardless, our Xi empire will never yield to the Tian Empire. I suggest we join the Heaven's Link Peak and resist the Tian Empire. We can't let the Tian Empire unite the Cloud Plane, or it will directly harm our interests, "said Xi Ziyun.
Xi Haoming and Xi Haoxuan did not express their opinions in a hurry. Instead, they both looked at Ming Dong. The three of them had already learnt from the empress that they had only managed to break free this time because of Ming Dong.
"Ming Dong, may I ask if you …" Xi Haoxuan wanted to ask about Ming Dong's stance, but before he could finish, Ming Dong waved his hand, "Don't ask me. Whatever happens on the Cloud Plane has nothing to do with me. You can do whatever you want as long as it doesn't affect our Tianyuan family."
Xi Haoxuan became disappointed when he saw how he was unable to convince Ming Dong. He turned to Xi Ziyun and Xi Haoming, "If that's the case, let's stand with the Heaven's Link Peak and stop the Tian Empire's path to supremacy. Xi Ziyun, you're the current emperor, so I'll leave it to you to explain to the Heaven's Link Peak. Although the Heaven's Link Peak is weaker right now, they won't be defeated so easily. "
"Also, although the Sword Sect of Four Poles and the Skyrend Sect have killed many people from our imperial family recently, you have to consider the bigger picture during these sensitive times."
The Godsfallen clan also possessed a Grand Prime in the northern region of the Cloud Plane. They were a peak clan that stood at the apex of the plane.
Currently, an alliance of several peak clans on the Cloud Plane led by the Heaven's Link Peak had gathered in the Godsfallen clan. They used the northern region as a line of defence to stop the Tian Empire's path to supremacy.
In a majestic divine hall within the Godsfallen clan, the lord of the Heaven's Link Peak, the ancestor of the Godsfallen clan, Luo Mantian, the ancestor of the Tong family, Tong Wuming, the ancestor of the Firegod clan, Lieyan Wuji, the ancestor of the Cosmic sect, Zhou Zhidao, the ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Emergence, He Yidao, the ancestor of the Heavshaking sect, Gu Li, and so on. They were all peak figures who could shake up the entire Cloud Plane with just a stomp of their feet.
Some of them were already injured. Their presences were clearly weak, clearly left behind from the clash with the Tian Empire earlier.
"In terms of peak strength, we have the same number of people as the Tian Empire, but the Tian Empire has the Heavenless Demon Exalt, so we're slightly weaker. The Tian Empire directly controls the four eternal empires, so they're at least twice as powerful as us in terms of both numbers and strength. Right now, we're weaker than the Tian Empire in terms of both peak strength and middle strength. Our battle against the Tian Empire is not optimistic at all, "Luo Mantian said sternly.
