Chapter 2721: The Feats of the Divine Beast

As soon as the city lord of the Darknight City, Bai Jin, mentioned the divine beast, the vice city lords and members of the upper echelon around him changed in expression.

“It’s said that this divine beast is extraordinary. He has grasped a law with the greatest offensive power and his battle prowess is unbelievable. Within the same realm of cultivation, there is no one from our Darkstar race that is his opponent.”

“Since he’s a divine beast, it only makes sense for its battle prowess to be great. However, the truly unbelievable part is that the divine beast can devour heavenly resources to no limit. As long as he is provided with enough heavenly resources, he can grow at an alarming rate.”

“What? He can devour heavenly resources to no limit to strengthen himself?” The vice city lord Si Wuqing was surprised when he heard that. However, he soon shook his head and said in disbelief, “That’s impossible. Not only does consuming large amounts of heavenly resources lead to far too many impurities in the body and thus impure origin energy, just the restrictions of the laws will prevent him from progressing constantly.”

Comprehending the laws was the greatest obstacle preventing cultivators from progress. Only by comprehending the laws to a certain level could they break through with their cultivation. This was a sequence that had remained the same everywhere. The Darkstar race was obviously not exempt from this sequence either.

And in the Darkstar World, it was several times more difficult for them to comprehend the laws due to the suppression from the will of the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirits. This was why reaching G.o.dking was so difficult, forcing every G.o.dking of the Darkstar race to spend tremendous amounts of time in building up their understanding of the laws.

Bai Jin said, “I myself am uncertain whether this divine beast can actually devour heavenly resources and grow to no end, but according to the information I’ve received, the divine beast’s ability to digest the heavenly resources is indeed unimaginably powerful.”

“However, your understanding of this divine beast is still lacking severely.” The city lord paused after saying that. He then continued, “Everyone, do you know how strong this divine beast was when he first appeared in our Darkstar World?”

Before anyone could answer, Bai Jin continued, “OverG.o.d. When he first appeared, he was just an OverG.o.d. Obviously, it was impossible for a measly OverG.o.d to attract the attention of our Darkstar race. What truly made him memorable was when he brought back the corpse of an early G.o.dking Life-devouring Beast from the Two World Mountains as a peak OverG.o.d.”

“In the end, he exchanged the Life-devouring Beast’s corpse for a large quant.i.ty of heavenly resources from the Hundred Saint City. Afterwards, he went into seclusion in Hundred Saint City. When he emerged, he had broken through to G.o.dking.”

“The breakthrough doesn’t necessarily demonstrate anything. Going from peak OverG.o.d to G.o.dking only takes a step after all,” said the vice city lord Xue Sha. Although breaking through in the Darkstar World was slightly more difficult than outside, it was still much easier for outsiders compared to members of the Darkstar race. There were many outsiders who could break through overnight, so there was nothing special about this.

Bai Jin glanced at him, “Correct. If it was only a single breakthrough, it would have meant nothing. However, in just a year after becoming a G.o.dking, he broke through again, reaching mid G.o.dking from early G.o.dking in a single stroke.”

“What? He went from early G.o.dking to mid G.o.dking in just a year?”

“Just a year. In just a short year, he broke through again. That’s just unbelievable.”

The surrounding vice city lords and members of the upper echelon were all in disbelief once Bai Jin had said that.

Every single step after reaching G.o.dking was extremely difficult for them.

“I heard the divine beast’s not a mid G.o.dking, but a late G.o.dking,” an important member of the Darknight City added softly.

“Late G.o.dking? Did the divine beast break through again after reaching mid G.o.dking?” In that moment, everyone became stunned.

Although these people knew about the existence of the divine beast, many of them were not familiar with the exact details.

As the city lord of the Darknight City, Bai Jin obviously possessed some status within the Darkstar Race, so he had access to much more information. He continued, “Once outsiders reach mid G.o.dking, we will do everything we can to exterminate them. As a result, after the divine beast left the Hundred Saint City, our clansmen took action against him. It was said that over a dozen G.o.dkings were mobilised, including one late G.o.dking and five mid G.o.dkings.”

“Logically speaking, such a powerful group should have been more than enough to finish off a mid G.o.dking who had only broken through recently. But in the end, the exact opposite happened. All of the G.o.dkings we sent, including the late G.o.dking, were slain by the divine beast.”

“The G.o.dkings that died all came from the Flying Phoenix City. A vice city lord of the Flying Phoenix City was furious, so he personally lead a group of experts to hunt down the divine beast. In the end, he lost over a dozen of the G.o.dkings he had brought with him, but failed to capture the divine beast, allowing the divine beast to flee into the depths of the Two World Mountains.”

“The Two World Mountains is a forbidden zone for our race. None of us will ever set foot in there unless we have no other choice, much less set foot in the depths that are even more terrifying. Unless the people of our race have reached the Primordial realm, basically everyone is doomed if they set foot in the depths of the Two World Mountains. As a result, the Flying Phoenix City could only give up on hunting him down after the divine beast managed to flee.”

“There was no more news about the divine beast until he reappeared. When he did reappear, two years had already pa.s.sed, while his strength was no longer mid G.o.dking. Instead, he had already broken through to late G.o.dking.”

“You all know what happened next. The divine beast made a mess in the Flying Phoenix City. The one hundred and eight kings and thirty-six lords of Flying Phoenix City failed to kill him. Instead, the Flying Phoenix City lost many of their kings and lords.” Reaching there, even Bai Jin s.h.i.+vered despite his mental fort.i.tude, “The divine beast is far more powerful than you can ever imagine. He might only be a late G.o.dking, but he definitely possesses the strength of an Infinite Prime.”

“A late G.o.dking that can challenge Infinite Primes. T- this…” Many of the upper echelon were utterly stunned. They might not have known the strength of the outsider Infinite Primes, but they knew just how powerful the Infinite Primes of the Darkstar race were.

Even though all one hundred and eight kings and thirty-six lords of their Darkstar City were peak G.o.dkings and had grasped powerful G.o.d Tier Battle Skills, it was impossible for them to defeat a Primordial realm expert who had just broken through recently even when they all worked together.

“Within a year, he went from early G.o.dking to mid G.o.dking, and then to late G.o.dking in another two years. Not only is this divine beast powerful, the speed of his progress is unbelievably fast as well.”

“Does this mean that the divine beast was able to advance so quickly because of the tremendous amount of heavenly resources it had ingested?”

“Three years. He took just three years to go from early G.o.dking to late G.o.dking. When I went from early G.o.dking to my current cultivation, peak G.o.dking, it took me a whole eight million years. Eight million years of hard work from me is only equal to three of his.”
