Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2722: Rousing Killing Intent

The upper echelon of the Darknight City were all taken aback. Their race was suppressed by the will of the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirits within the Darkstar World, so every breakthrough they attempted would be extremely difficult. It required tremendous amounts of time. Basically every expert who reached Godking had taken at least a million years. Now that they heard that this divine beast had only used three years to go from early Godking to late Godking, all of them became envious.

Even the city lord of Darknight City, Bai Jin, felt indescribable envy.

“Only if we could break out of this damned prison. If it weren’t for the suppression of the Grand Exalt’s will, we would have reached Infinite Prime a long time ago with our ability,” a member of the upper echelon looked at the sky and complained.

“Hmph, Infinite Prime is nothing. With the time we’ve spent cultivating, we would have reached Chaotic Prime already if we were in the outside world. Why would we still be stuck at Godking, unable to breakthrough?” The vice city lord, Xue Sha, said.

These people had never ventured to the outside world, but many outsiders existed within the Darkstar World. There were some prodigies from peak organisations among them, so even though they had never set foot out of this place, they still possessed a clear understanding of the outside world.

“Enough. Stomp grumbling. If the great ceremony succeeds, the limit of our clan’s cultivation will become Chaotic Prime if nothing goes wrong. At that time, the suppression from the Grand Exalt’s will will weaken and it’ll be much easier for us to reach Infinite Prime,” said Bai Jin. His gaze remained fixed on the droplet of essence blood in his hand. He knew extremely well just how important the divine beast’s essence blood was to the great ceremony.

The Darkstar race had prepared for this upcoming ceremony for countless years. They had planned this many years ago, except that chances for success was only seventy percent.

The appearance of the divine beast was completely unexpected. To the Darkstar race, this was a pleasant surprise.

Because the bloodline of the divine beast was just too powerful, the chances of success with the great ceremony directly increased to ninety percent with the assistance of his bloodline.

The vice city lord Si Wuqing glanced in the direction of the city gate and showed pity, “It’s just unfortunate that the outsider’s so powerful. If we sent him into the depths of the Two World Mountains to hunt for Godking Life-devouring Beasts, he should be extremely effective.”

“There is no pity. This person’s ability to challenge those stronger than him is just too great. If we don’t kill him now, it’ll be even more difficult to kill him in the future,” said Xue Sha. He had already withdrawn the senses of his soul from the city gates. He was certain that the outsider was already dead.

Due to his cultivation as a mid Godking, no matter how powerful he was, he was doomed before Proud Ice King’s God Tier Battle Skill, the Star of Apocalypse.

“Alright. Since the matter at the city gates is already settled, let’s not waste anymore time here. Let’s refine this droplet of essence blood as quickly as possible,” said Bai Jin. After a moment of thought, he continued, “The day of the ceremony is getting closer and closer. The remains of Godking Life-devouring Beasts is also crucial to the ceremony, so we must prepare as much as possible. Caretaker Hong, gather some more outsiders and send into the Two World Mountains to hunt for them. This mission comes from the emperor himself. Our Darknight City must exceed the quota.”

“Yes, city lord!” Caretaker Hong was a white-haired old man. He supported the city lord by specially dealing with some miscellaneous matters. He seemed to remember something which troubled him. He questioned, “City lord, the seventh hall master hold great prejudice against the outsiders, and he’s already taken out the Hundred Saint City. If we collaborate with outsiders at a time like this, will we displease the seventh hall master?”

Upon mentioning the seventh hall master, everyone there was filled with fear. Not only was he an Infinite Prime, he was one of the ten great hall masters of the Darkstar race as well. He had countless Godkings under his command. Even a few vice hall masters who were also Infinite Prime followed the seventh hall master’s command.

Most importantly, for the next millenia, the entire Darkstar race would be under the seventh hall master’s control!

He could decide on all matters regarding the Darkstar race, regardless of importance. Even the nine other hall masters had no right to interfere with his authority. He was the person with the most authority after the Darkstar Emperor.

“There’s no need to think too much about it. The seventh hall master’s only targeted the Hundred Saint City. We’ll be fine as long as we don’t recruit organisations from the Hundred Saint City. And, we need to rely on these outsiders go into the depths of the Two World Mountains to hunt Life-devouring Beasts. If we use our own people, we’ll suffer extremely heavy casualties,” said Bai Jin.

“Yes!”

After handing the matters over, Bai Jin planned on taking everyone with him to continue refining the divine beast’s essence blood. However, just when he turned around, surging killing intent suddenly erupted from the city gates.

Bai Jin paused and looked in the direction of the city gates. He was stunned.

That outsider who was only a mid Godking managed to endure Proud Ice King’s Star of Apocalypse and survive?

The vice city lords and the upper echelon reacted in the same way. They were all dumbfounded.

Near the city gates, the ancient walls had already collapsed, reduced to ruins. The storm of energy from the Star of Apocalypse slowly subsided, while Jian Chen’s body gradually reappeared as the streams of energy cleared up.

He floated in the sky in a horrible shape. His face was terrifyingly pale, with a stream of blood running from the corner of his lips.

It had taken him quite the effort to force out that stream of blood,.

His wounds and signs of weakness were obviously an act. However, the surging killing intent he gave off was not fake at all. His killing intent had truly been roused.

“Sacredfeather’s essence blood. They’ve actually taken out Sacredfeather’s essence blood.”

Nothing that happened within the Darknight City could escape Jian Chen’s powerful senses. He could obviously sense the droplet of essence blood in Bai Jin’s hand, which immediately ignited his fury and made his killing intent erupt like a volcano.

Essence blood was not regular blood, because that was the most precious blood, the blood that people’s lives depended on. Its value to any cultivator or divine beast was self-evident. Whether it were cultivators or divine beasts, they all had an extremely limited amount of essence blood. Even losing a drop would harm their vitality significantly.

Yet now, he had discovered a droplet of Sacredfeather’s essence blood in the Darknight City!

The Darknight City did not rank particularly high up among the thirty-six cities of the Darkstar race. It was not particularly powerful, but not weak either. If a city as ordinary as this had a droplet of Sacredfeather’s essence blood, what about the cities stronger than Darknight City?

“Darkstar race, you’ve actually treated Sacredfeather like this. I will make you regret your actions,” Jian Chen roared inside. He discovered that the droplet of essence blood was not pure anymore. A hint of the Darkstar race’s presence had now contaminated it.

He had already realised that the Darkstar race had probably allocated Sacredfeather’s essence blood to others for some kind of conversion, such that Sacredfeather’s essence blood would become an object of the Darkstar World and would develop some sort of compatibility with the Darkstar World.
