Chapter 3010: Battle Against the Snow Sect (2/2)
Near the Hefeng clan, the grand elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult, Cheng Ming, stood atop the demonic castle and gazed in the direction of the Snow sect. His eyes were deep.
“Quick, strengthen the formations of the forbidden ground and prevent the energy from spreading, or the sect will be devastated,” the Frigid River Ancestor called out from the forbidden grounds. She had never been so stern before. She immediately formed seals with the Profound Sky Ancestor. Energy seeped out of their bodies, all of it gathering in the powerful formations around the forbidden grounds.
Under the full support of the two ancestors, the protective formations finally stabilised from their precarious state. It blocked most of the energy from the clash within, preventing it from reaching the rest of the Snow sect.
After all, the main purpose of the formations was to protect the forbidden grounds from disturbances from the outside world. As a result, it was not particularly powerful and could not be compared with the defensive formation around the entire sect.
When the storm of energy settled down in the forbidden grounds, ancestor Lan and the Icepeer Founding Ancestor’s figures had already vanished. At the same time, in the vast outer space beyond the Ice Pole Plane, waves of energy slammed together like the stormy seas, shattering planets after planets. The space there was broken to the point where it struggled to recover.
Ancestor Lan and the Icepeer Founding Ancestor were locked in an intense battle in outer space. Their figures flickered between the shattered space, sometimes entering the other region of space filled with violent streams of energy and temporal vortices and sometimes returning to the space of the Saints’ World.
Even though the environment of the void was extremely dangerous, where some terrifying temporal vortices could even easily claim the lives of Grand Primes, it no longer posed much of a threat to them given their cultivation. They could move about freely like they were fighting on flat land.
Ancestor Lan and the Icepeer Founding Ancestor had changed their battlefield, but the Frigid River Ancestor and the Profound Sky Ancestor still remained in the forbidden grounds. They were utterly furious and radiating with killing intent.
“Bastard, the Heavenly Crane clan has been far too flagrant. You actually started fighting in our Snow sect. If the two of us hadn’t reacted in time and strengthened the protective formation around the forbidden grounds, the outcome would have been unimaginable if the storm of energy spread beyond here.”
“It wouldn’t just be unimaginable. Probably our entire Snow sect would be devastated. After all, the turmoil comes from within. Our protective formations are directed outwards, not inwards.”
The Frigid River Ancestor and the Profound Sky Ancestor were fuming. They utterly hated the Heavenly Crane clan to the core.
Ancestor Lan’s actions were no different from publicly declaring war, and she had made it such that they would have to fight to their deaths.
“From today onwards, the Heavenly Crane clan is a great enemy of our Snow sect. Our Snow sect will never stop until the Heavenly Crane clan is destroyed,” the Frigid River Ancestor and the Profound Sky Ancestor said at the same time. Their resonant voices passed through the formations around the forbidden grounds and reached across the entire Snow sect, leading to a great uproar. Many disciples and members of the upper echelon blanked out slightly.
What was going on? Hadn’t they just welcomed ancestor Lan into the sect with an extremely great gesture of courtesy?
Why had she become a great enemy of the Snow sect all of a sudden?
Such a great reversal occurred in such a short amount of time, which left many disciples dumbfounded. They struggled to respond.
“He Qianchi, you’ve witnessed everything. This is your Heavenly Crane clan digging your own grave, so you better not say I’m harassing those weaker than me. I’ll kill you as a mighty Third Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. You can be the first one from the Heavenly Crane clan to pay.” The Profound Sky Ancestor’s face was filled with killing intent. His face was terrifyingly sunken, glaring at the stumped He Qianchi who still remained in the forbidden grounds. It was as if the Profound Sky Ancestor wanted to eat him.
As soon as he had said that, the Profound Sky Ancestor appeared before He Qianchi silently. He formed a claw with his hand, where a sharp blade of ice condensed around every single finger, shining with cold light. Then he reached towards the top of He Qianchi’s head mercilessly.
