Chapter 2720: A Storm in Darknight City (Four)

After killing the eight mid G.o.dkings from the Darkstar race, Jian Chen shuddered in the air and his face paled drastically, as if he could not last much longer.

Of course, this was all an act. If he had forcefully broken out of the Meteor Soul-destroying Formation as a mid G.o.dking and killed eight other G.o.dkings without even running out of breath, it would be just far too shocking.

Although he purposefully wanted to show that Gu Qi was a supreme G.o.dking, there was a limit to all of this. Once he crossed this limit, it would easily raise suspicion and instead cause more problems.

But despite this, the battle prowess Jian Chen had displayed still frightened many Darkstar race G.o.dkings. The deaths of the eight mid G.o.dkings scared all the early G.o.dkings around Jian Chen. They all stopped their charge and actually became afraid of approaching him.

The Meteor Soul-destroying Formation was famous among them. This was a supreme secret technique that had been pa.s.sed down through the ages within the Darkstar race. With eight mid G.o.dkings working together, the formation would obviously be shockingly powerful, yet even such a terrifying formation was unable to kill this outsider. Instead, the eight G.o.dkings were slain instead. The terrifying strength made them feel that he was invincible.

Even mid G.o.dkings died so quickly. They were only early G.o.dkings, so was there anything they could do to help?

“Oh no, this outsider is much stronger than we imagined him to be. He’s beyond what we can handle. Only late G.o.dkings can deal with him…” An early G.o.dking called out as he retreated quickly back into the city.

“While the rewards of the seventh hall master are astonis.h.i.+ng, it’ll come at the cost of our lives. This outsider’s clearly beyond what we can deal with, so let’s leave him to those who are stronger,” another G.o.dking of the Darkstar race said. Even though Jian Chen began showing signs of weakness, they all chose to leave without hesitation.

In that moment, many early G.o.dkings left the encirclement around Jian Chen. They no longer took part in this battle.

After all, they were not the army. They were under no orders to kill outsiders. They only did it for some potential rewards.

With their departure, the G.o.dkings around Jian Chen immediately decreased from over a hundred to around forty people. Early and mid G.o.dkings now amounted to half of the encirclement.

The remaining early G.o.dkings all seemed rather hesitant, while the mid G.o.dkings stared at the pale Jian Chen sternly. No one was in a hurry to fight him.

“Hmph, you group of pathetic trash. There’s so many of you, yet you’ve become so frightened that you won’t even touch an outsider. You bring shame to our Darkstar race.” At this moment, a cold voice rang out in Darknight City. With the voice, a presence that belonged to a late G.o.dking suddenly erupted. Powerful pulses of energy shook up and spread across the entire city.

A black star containing highly concentrated power slowly rose up from the city. Afterwards, it turned into a streak of black light that shot towards Jian Chen with the might of the world.

The black star had already locked onto Jian Chen’s presence when it was launched, so it was impossible for Jian Chen to dodge it.

“A G.o.d Tier Battle Skill!” Jian Chen’s heart jumped. With his insight, he could obviously tell what tier the battle skill was at first glance. What surprised him was the fact that he had come across a G.o.d Tier Battle Skill wielding G.o.dking so easily.

No one could remain hidden under the senses of Jian Chen’s soul within Darknight City. Under Jian Chen’s observations, this person did not even belong to the strongest group of people present in the city.

There were not a lot of G.o.dkings who could use G.o.d Tier Battle Skills in the Saints’ World. Every single one who could possessed great talent and were deviants. There was only a handful of them.

Yet, in the Darkstar World, just any old G.o.dking Jian Chen had come across could use a G.o.d Tier Battle Skill, which surprised him to some degree.

“This person’s probably cultivated for an extremely terrifying amount of time. If you spend a tremendous amount of time comprehending and studying a single G.o.d Tier Battle Skill, it shouldn’t be too difficult to comprehend the battle skill as long as it’s not too profound even with slightly worse talent,” Jian Chen thought. He discovered that maybe he needed to reevaluate the strength of the Darkstar race. Not only did the race possess countless G.o.dkings, perhaps there were many late G.o.dkings among them who had grasped G.o.d Tier Battle Skills as well.

If even regular G.o.dkings could achieve this, it would go without saying for members of the Darkstar race with monstrous talent who managed to break through to the Primordial realm under these circ.u.mstances.

“It seems like I really need to be cautious when I come across Infinite Primes of the Darkstar race in the future. Perhaps these people are much more difficult to deal with than those from the Saints’ World. I can’t afford to mess up something so simple,” Jian Chen thought quickly. He had benefited from his trip to the Darknight City. At the very least, he managed to gain a new understanding of the Primordial realm experts of the Darkstar race from these G.o.dkings.

These Infinite Primes would become his opponents in the future.

“I can’t afford to be reckless among the Darkstar race. The will of the Grand Exalt from the Wood Spirits may have suppressed them, but from a different perspective, it’s also moulded them into what they are now.” All of these thoughts crossed Jian Chen’s head in a single moment. However, Jian Chen’s movements did not dull despite all the thinking. His presence surged as powerful battle intent roared. With a swing of his axe, it collided heavily with the incoming black star, producing a deafening rumble. The powerful ripples of energy wreaked havoc in the surroundings as a storm.

Under such powerful ripples of energy, the walls of the Darknight City which had stood for who knew how long finally collapse under the burden.

The storm of energy created from the explosion of the black star directly swallowed Jian Chen’s figure, leaving his fate unknown.

“This king’s only recently comprehended the Star of Apocalypse. I’ll test the battle skill’s power on you today. It’ll be your honour to die to the Star of Apocalypse.” A cold voice rang out from Darknight City once again.

At the same time, the city lord of Darknight City, Bai Jin, currently gathered with the members of upper echelon in the majestic city lord’s estate, paying close attention to the battle at the city gates.

“The Star of Apocalypse. The Proud Ice King has spent seven million years comprehending it. He’s finally grasped that G.o.d Tier Battle Skill. With that, he’s basically consolidated his position among the one hundred and eight kings,” an old man beside the city lord stroked his long beard as he sighed emotionally.

He was one of the vice city lords of the Darknight City, named Si Wuqing.

“With the Proud Ice King’s strength, he’s definitely able to rank within the top ten of that G.o.dkings’ Throne or something from the Saints’ World. With his status, he’s gone a little overboard to deal with an outsider mid G.o.dking, even using the supreme battle skill, the Star of Apocalypse, on him. Is there any reason why we need to treat a mere outsider like this?” Another vice city lord, Xue Sha, said indifferently.

“This outsider’s not simple. He’s a mid G.o.dking, yet he possesses strength that has exceeded regular late G.o.dkings. We cannot allow someone like that to grow stronger. Killing him as soon as possible will be ridding a potential future problem,” said the third vice city lord. He withdrew his gaze and continued, “There’s no need to watch anymore. Once the Proud Ice King’s used his Star of Apocalypse, the outsider’s fate has basically been decided. Let’s continue with the emperor’s mission. We have to convert this droplet of a divine beast’s essence blood as quickly as possible. If we take too long, we’ll delay the great ceremony.”

The city lord remained silent the entire time. After hearing that, he immediately showed great care. Laying out his hand, a droplet of blood appeared out of nowhere, hovering the centre of his hand.

“The power of bloodline hidden in this droplet of essence blood is extremely great. Even though it’s just a single droplet, it’s taken us several years to refine it even after combining the strength of the thirty-six lords and one hundred and eight kings of our Darknight City and we still haven’t completely converted it. I really wonder what species this divine beast is for it to be so powerful.”

The city lord, Bai Jin, sighed in surprise as he stared at the droplet of essence blood in his hand.
