After killing the eight mid Divine King Darkstar experts, Jianchen's burly figure swayed as he hovered in the air. His face had become much paler, showing signs of exhaustion.
Of course, this was all a disguise. If he could take on the God-destroying Meteorite Formation and kill eight Divine King experts as a mid Divine King without panting, it would be rather shocking.
Although he wanted to play the role of Gu Qi as a supreme Godking, there had to be a limit. Once this limit was exceeded, it would easily arouse the suspicions of others and cause more trouble.
Even so, Jianchen's battle prowess had shocked many Divine King experts of the Darkstar race. The deaths of the eight mid Divine King experts frightened the initial Divine King experts of the Darkstar race who were attacking Jianchen. They all stopped in their tracks, not daring to advance for a moment.
They had heard of the God-destroying Meteorite Formation before. It was a supreme secret technique passed down through the generations of the Darkstar race. When eight mid Divine King experts worked together to cast the God-destroying Meteorite Formation, the formation was naturally extremely powerful. However, even such a terrifying formation was unable to kill this foreign cultivator. Instead, he had killed the eight mid Divine King experts who had cast the formation. This terrifying battle prowess made them feel like they were invincible.
Even mid Divine King experts who were more powerful than them had died so quickly. What could they, who were only early Divine King experts, do?
"Oh no, this foreign cultivator is even more powerful than we imagined. He's not someone we can fight against. Only late Divine King experts can defeat him …" an early Divine King exclaimed. He quickly retreated as he spoke, retreating into Anye City.
"The reward from the seventh hallmaster is astonishing, but you need to be alive to receive it. This foreign cultivator is clearly not someone we can deal with. Let's leave him to those more powerful fellows," another Divine King said. Even though Jianchen was showing signs of exhaustion, he chose to withdraw without any hesitation.
For a moment, many of the early Divine King experts who had attacked Jianchen withdrew from the battle. They no longer participated in the battle.
After all, they were not an army. Killing foreign cultivators was not their mission. They were only doing it for the sake of some reward.
As soon as these people left, the number of Divine King experts who had attacked Jianchen decreased from over a hundred to around forty. Half of them were early Divine King experts and the other half were mid Divine King experts.
The remaining early Divine King experts who were left behind were all rather hesitant. The mid Divine King experts also stared at the pale-faced Jianchen gravely. No one dared to make the first move.
"Hmph, what a bunch of trash. There are so many of you, but you're scared stiff by a single foreign cultivator. You're a disgrace to us Dark Stars." At this moment, a cold voice rang out from Anye City. With that, the late Divine King's aura suddenly erupted. Powerful ripples of energy shook the entire city.
A black star rose up from Anye City. It contained highly concentrated energy. Then, under the pressure of the world, it turned into a black streak of light and shot toward Jianchen.
When the black star shot out, it had already locked onto Jianchen's aura. Jianchen had nowhere to run.
"A God Tier Battle Skill!" Jianchen's heart skipped a beat. With his experience, he could obviously tell the grade of the battle skill with a single glance. What surprised him was that he had actually encountered a Divine King who had grasped a God Tier Battle Skill so easily.
No one could hide from the senses of Jianchen's soul in Anye City. From what Jianchen had observed, this person's strength was not at the very peak in Anye City.
In the Saints' World, there were not many people who could grasp a God Tier Battle Skill at the Divine King level. Every single one of them possessed supreme talent and were monstrous existences. They could be counted on one hand.
However, Jianchen had come across a random Divine King in the Dark Star World who had grasped a God Tier Battle Skill, which surprised him slightly.
"This person has likely cultivated for an extremely long period of time. If he had spent a long period of time comprehending a Divine Tier Battle Skill, even if his talent was lacking, it wouldn't be difficult for him to comprehend a Divine Tier Battle Skill that wasn't too profound." He discovered that he might need to reevaluate the strength of the Darkstar race. Not only were there countless Divine Kings in the race, but there might also be many late Divine Kings who had grasped God Tier Battle Skills.
Even the Divine King was like that, let alone the monstrously talented Darkstar clansmen who could break through to the Primordial realm in such an environment.
"It looks like I have to be more careful when I encounter Primordial realm experts of the Darkstar race in the future. These people might be even more difficult to deal with than the Primordial realm experts in the Saints' World. I don't want to fail miserably," Jian Chen thought. He discovered that he had benefited quite a lot from this trip to Anye City. At the very least, he had gained a new understanding of the Primordial realm experts of the Darkstar race from the Divine King.
These Primordial realm experts would all be his enemies in the future.
"I can't be reckless when I come to the Darkstar race this time. Although the will of the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirit has suppressed them, it has also created them from another perspective." These thoughts occurred in a single instance. Although he thought about it, Jianchen did not slow down at all. His presence surged as powerful battle intent burned. He swung his axe as hard as he could, colliding with the incoming black star loudly. With a deafening boom, powerful ripples of energy wreaked havoc in the surroundings as a storm.
The ancient city walls of Dark Night City, which had stood for countless years, finally collapsed under such a powerful shockwave.
The storm of energy from the explosion of the dark star directly swallowed Jianchen.
His fate was unknown.
"This king has only comprehended the Doomsday Star recently. I'll use you today to test the power of this battle skill. Dying to the Doomsday Star is a form of glory," the cold voice rang out again from Anye City.
At the same time, the city lord, Bai Jin, and a few other members of the upper echelon gathered together in the majestic city lord's estate at the centre of Anye City. They paid close attention to the battle at the city gates.
"Doomsday Star. Proud Ice King has studied it for at least seven million years. He has finally mastered this god-tier battle skill. Now, his position as one of the one hundred and eight kings is secured." Beside Dark Night City Lord Bai Jin, an old man stroked his long beard and sighed.
He was one of the vice-city lords of Anye City. His name was Si Wuqing.
"The Proud Ice King's strength is definitely enough to rank in the top ten of the so-called Divine King in the Saints' World. For him to deal with a mid Divine King from the outside world and use the supreme battle skill, the Doomsday Star, is just making a mountain out of a molehill. Is there a need to treat a mere cultivator from the outside world like that?" Another vice-city lord, Xue Sha, said indifferently.
"The cultivator from the outside world is not simple either. He's only at the mid Divine King, yet he possesses strength that exceeds the late Divine King. We can't let someone like him grow. It's best to kill him sooner rather than later to prevent any future problems," said another vice-city lord. He looked away and continued, "There's no need to watch anymore. Once the Proud Ice King's Doomsday Star is used, the cultivator from the outside world is dead for sure. Let's continue with the mission the emperor gave us. We need to convert the essence blood of the divine beast as soon as possible. If we take too long, we'll delay the ceremony."
Bai Jin had remained silent the entire time. When he heard that, he immediately became extremely cautious. He opened his hand and a droplet of blood appeared out of nowhere, hovering above his palm.
"The power of the bloodline hidden in this droplet of essence blood is extremely powerful. It's just a single droplet of essence blood, yet it has gathered the power of our thirty-six lords and one hundred and eight kings. We've spent several years refining it, yet we still haven't converted it completely. I wonder what kind of divine beast it is. It's actually so powerful."
