Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2618: Hun Zang Injured

Xu Zhiping used his full strength right from the start, completely unleashing his cultivation as a Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. With his palm strike, the stars dimmed and galaxies were destroyed. The dark space had been pierced. It was truly devastating.

Xu Zhiping clearly felt no reluctance towards becoming complete enemies with the Martial Soul lineage as he crossed the point of no return. He tried to kill as soon as he struck out, aiming to claim Yue Chao’s life on the spot.

“So powerful!” Tong Wuming, Zhou Zhidao, and Lieyan Wuji hovered high above the Cloud Plane. They tilted their heads and looked at what was happening in outer space. They were all extremely stern. In particular, their hearts shivered when they witnessed Xu Zhiping’s strength.

As all of this happened, the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak had already become completely green on the Heaven’s Link Peak. These were clearly signs of the curse spreading. Even though the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak forcefully suppressed it with his cultivation as a peak Third Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, he could only reduce the rate at which it spread to buy some more time for himself.

The lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak stood on the Heaven’s Link Peak as he stared at outer space. His face was filled with worry.

“This Xu Zhiping is so powerful. His battle prowess has completely exceeded the Heavenless Demon Exalt. Even among Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes, Xu Zhiping probably ranks towards the top. It’ll be problematic now. Although the Martial Soul lineage is known to possess unmatched battle prowess, their personal cultivation levels are just too low. They can’t deal with Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes at all,” the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak said in worry. He wanted to help, but he was already busy enough himself. He was in no state to provide assistance.

“Hahaha, it’ll be interesting now. The greatest help the Righteous Alliance has is the Martial Soul lineage, but now it looks like the Martial Soul lineage can’t even protect themselves.” The Blood Emperor stared at outer space excitedly. His current emotions could no longer be put into words.

“Hold on, hold on. Don’t leave yet. We still don’t know who will emerge as the victor in the very end. Perhaps our Blood Sun Empire will become the only everlasting empire on the Cloud Plane before long.” The Blood Emperor stopped the members of the imperial family who were about to be teleported away. He looked at the Xi Emperor in a provoking manner as he laughed aloud. His mood was extremely great.

Meanwhile, in the Xi Empire in the northern region, their two ancestral emperors, Xi Haoxuan and Xi Haoming, hovered in the air. They stared at outer space sternly.

Aside from the two of them, the Zihao Empire in the eastern region, the Jinjian Empire in the western region, and all other organisations and Primordial realm experts across the five regions paid close attention to the battle in outer space.

All of them understood that this battle did not determine something as simple as the future distribution of power on the Cloud Plane. It determined their fates as well.

Aside from the Pingtian Empire and the Heavenly Moon Empire on the current Cloud Plane, basically all other organisations had been absorbed into the Four Symbols Alliance or the Righteous Alliance. As soon as one of the alliances fell, all the organisations under the alliance would face the threat of destruction.

In the past, there was no need for everyone to be as worried as right now, as four of the five regions belonged to the Righteous Alliance. The Righteous Alliance had a crushing advantage over the Four Symbols Alliance.

But it was different now. With the entry of the experts from the Desolate Plane, the Righteous Alliance that was supposed to emerge victorious was now facing great danger. This naturally weighed on all of their minds.

The expressions of everyone from the Martial Soul lineage changed when they saw Xu Zhiping attack Yue Zhao.

“Martial Soul Array!”

As the strongest expert of the Martial Soul lineage, Hun Zang immediately bellowed out. Before he had even finished talking, he shot off like a bolt of lightning. His presence surged as he charged right towards Xu Zhiping.

Powerful energy gathered on his body. Even Martial Soul Force secretly began to surge.

At that moment, Hun Zang was ready to risk his life, as the Martial Soul Array needed time to reach completion. Although it would take a very short amount of time, he clearly could not afford to wait for it.

As a result, Hun Zang could only use his personal strength to forcefully receive Xu Zhiping’s strike.

He was facing a Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime’s attack as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime.

“Be careful, senior brother!” Yue Chao immediately warned him when he saw Hun Zang’s actions. Worry filled his eyes.

Xu Zhiping’s strength could not be compared to regular Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes. He and Huangfu Guiyi were both experts who ranked towards the top in their level of cultivation. They were supreme prodigies when they were young. As such, even though they could not claim that they were invincible among the same level of cultivation, they were not far from it.

“That works as well. Hun Zang, allow me to witness just how powerful the person who is known as the strongest in the Martial Soul lineage is.” Xu Zhiping remained calm as if he did not fear the Martial Soul lineage much at all. He was only worried because he had a large organisation behind him, which tied him down.

With that, Xu Zhiping’s palm strike that originally targeted Yue Chao shot towards Hun Zang.

With a rumble, the space there shattered. The palm strike seemed to lock down the entire space, completely enveloping Hun Zang such that he could not dodge.

Immediately, Hun Zang felt like a mountainous pressure, as if the entire world weighed on his body.

However, he was no regular Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime. His comprehension remained at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Chaotic Prime, but his cultivation had completely defied logic and reached Grand Prime.

Even though it was only the First Heavenly Layer of Grand Prime, it was a colossal difference from the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Chaotic Prime.

Hun Zang also struck out with his hand.

The palm strike condensed his vital energies and contained his peak strength. The attack was extraordinary. As soon as he struck out, the world would fade and souls would shake. Tremendous Martial Soul Force gathered in the palm strike, affecting the souls of people.

Bang!

A devastating boom exploded in the shattered space. Xu Zhiping and Hun Zang’s hands collided like two colossal planets, erupting with a devastating pulse of energy that caused space to tremor.

Spurt!

Blood sprayed out from Hun Zang’s mouth as he was knocked away like a bolt of lightning. His blue robes had already been ravaged to dust by the violent energy, revealing the black armor inside.

The armor rapidly flickered as it dimmed quickly.

The armor was a god artifact, and a medium quality god artifact at that. It had an extremely sturdy defence.

However, even with that being the case, Hun Zang was still injured by Xu Zhiping’s palm strike.
