Chapter 2991: The Grand Elder Strikes
The three blood-red skeletons from the Empyrean Demon Cult’s Army of Death achieved numerous feats too, heavily injuring multiple Chaotic Primes of the Hefeng clan one after another and dealing an extremely heavy blow to the Hefeng clan.
The three blood-red skeletons were not living creatures, but a form of undead. They were a special existence, so the various flaws that frequently appeared on cultivators, such as the sense of pain, emotional response, mental response, as well as the weaknesses of the body and even the soul, did not exist for them.
They had no souls and no fleshly bodies. They could never feel pain, nor could they feel the emotion of fear when they faced the threat of death. They possessed a single thought, which was to fight like there was no end!
On top of that, every single bone of the skeletons was extremely tough, basically on par with medium quality god artifacts, which directly prevented most Chaotic Primes from harming them much at all. At most, they could leave behind a few marks. They were truly machines of war.
Even if some stronger Chaotic Primes could harm them, it would be very difficult to impact the skeletons’ battle prowess.
The three blood-red skeletons were already so difficult to deal with just by themselves. Coupled with the red mist that could corrode the soul around them, it only made them even more fearsome.
As a result, despite the fact that the three blood-red skeletons were weaker than late Chaotic Primes in battle prowess, the red mist around them could even threaten Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Primes.
The four generals of the Empyrean Demon Cult and the Infinite Primes that had unleashed the battle prowess of Chaotic Primes through the formation scrolls not only made up for their disadvantaged situation completely under the assistance of the three skeletons, but they also gradually gained the upper hand, constantly heavily injuring the enemy Chaotic Primes.
And, the region was enveloped by a formation now, so it had completely become the Empyrean Demon Cult’s home field. Only endless demon Qi surged through the surroundings. In this environment, the people of the Empyrean Demon Cult could recover their strength endlessly.
On the other hand, not only was the Hefeng clan unable to absorb the demon Qi there, but the origin energy that they could absorb was completely isolated from them due to the demonic formations, forcing them to recover through limited pills as they fought.
The Hefeng clan completely lost the upper hand when it came to the battles among the Primordial realm. As for beneath the Primordial realm, it was a crushing defeat. They were constantly forced back by the nine armies of the Empyrean Demon Cult, basically standing no chance at all.
All nine armies of the Empyrean Demon Cult were battle-worn and experienced. They had left behind a glorious battle record on numerous great planes of the Saints’ World, and every single member of every single army was familiar with the various battle formations. On top of that, in a large-scale battle, the nine armies of the Empyrean Demon Cult no longer just fought as individuals. They all assembled into battle formations of various sizes, ranging from several dozen to several hundred people.
If the need arose, an entire army could even assume a killing formation of startling power in a mere few seconds. They were so efficient that it was dumbfounding.
As for the Hefeng clan, they also had a few cases of assuming formations in battle, but that was only on a small scale. They were nowhere close to the Empyrean Demon Cult. Most of them moved as individuals and fought arduously alone.
The Empyrean Demon Cult possessed rich battle experience, a battle ideology of depth, and armies that were well-versed in battle, while most of the Hefeng clan were snowflakes, basically all descendants of the large clan that had not faced many battles of life and death.
If they fought in individual matches, then the Hefeng clan obviously possessed a similar battle prowess. After all, as people of a peak clan, all the cultivation methods and secret methods they possessed were extraordinary. However, when it came to group battles, the Hefeng clan had no sense of unity at all.
“Is fate truly trying to end my Hefeng clan?” A great elder of the Hefeng clan coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood in the surging demon Qi. He hovered in the air with a pale face, gazing at the battlefield miserably. He felt both sorrow and despair.
In his eyes, the various battle formations assumed by the armies of the Empyrean Demon Cult were like meat grinders, running amok among their people. Wherever they passed by, they left behind a ground strewn with corpses and blood.
These dead clansmen were all descendants of the Hefeng clan.
He could also tell with a single glance that all nine armies of the Empyrean Demon Cult advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, able to both attack and defend. They did not have the slightest weakness.
On the other hand, the people of the Hefeng clan were a mess. They even regularly harmed their own people.
At this moment, another two great elders of the Hefeng clan were heavily injured, spraying the air with blood and landing heavily on the ground.
“Y- you’re despicable! You’ve actually launched a sneak attack!” One of the great elders gazed at Cloud Demon among the four generals and said with utter hatred, unwilling to accept this.
Cloud Demon said nothing. He immediately worked together with Blade Demon and launched a vicious attack against the last Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime of the Hefeng clan. Wind Demon and Blood Demon did everything that they could do to cover for them.
The four generals fought with great teamwork as well. They moved through the battlefield freely, switching between their opponents adeptly according to the situation. They also cooperated with the three blood-red skeletons to launch a startling strike from time to time.
As their forces at the higher realms rapidly decreased, the Hefeng clan’s response against the Empyrean Demon Cult’s intense attacks also became more and more exhausted. With nowhere to run, these Primordial realm experts in dire straits were overcome with madness.
“Since fate wants to end our Hefeng clan, then I’ll drag you down with me even if I die!” A Chaotic Prime great elder smiled wryly. The energy in his body pulses violently and rushed madly towards the four generals.
“He’s blowing himself up! Be careful!” Blood Demon called out, and he immediately became stern. The self-destruction of a Chaotic Prime was a force to be reckoned with. Even they dared not be careless.
But at this moment, a terrifying pressure appeared. A huge hand condensed from demon Qi immediately descended from above, smacking the great elder who was about to blow himself up into the ground. At the same time, it also severed the possibility of him blowing himself up.
Two figures had silently appeared in the sky, one old and one young. The old man was obviously the grand elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult, Cheng Ming. He gave off the powerful presence of a Grand Prime.
As for the young man beside Cheng Ming, he had a completely unfamiliar face. None of the upper echelon of the Empyrean Demon Cult, including the four generals, had ever seen him before.
He was obviously Jian Chen, but he had assumed another new appearance now, hiding away his true identity well.
“Grand elder, there’s no need for you to take personal action against this mob of people,” said the four generals.
