The upper echelon of Dark Night City was very shocked. Their race was suppressed by the senses of Grand Exalts of the Wood Spirit race in the Dark Star World, so every single breakthrough was extremely difficult. They needed to spend a lot of time trying to break through. Basically, every single Godking would take a million years to reach the level of Godkings, yet now that they heard that the divine beast had only used three years to go from early Godking to late Godking, all of their eyes had turned red with envy.
Even the city lord of Dark Night City, Bai Jin, felt indescribable envy.
"If only we could break out of this damned prison. If it weren't for the suppression of the Grand Exalt's will, we would have become Infinite Primes long ago with our abilities …" A member of the upper echelon of Dark Night City looked at the sky and grumbled.
"Hmph, Infinite Primes are nothing. With the amount of time we've spent cultivating, we would have become Chaotic Primes long ago if we were in the outside world. Why would we be trapped in the Divine King realm right now?" said Xie Sha.
Although these people had never been to the Outer World, there were many cultivators from the Outer World in the Dark Star Realm. Among them, there was no lack of heaven's prides from some of the peak powers. Thus, even though they were unable to step out of the Dark Star Realm in their entire lives, they possessed a very clear understanding of the Outer World.
"Enough, stop grumbling. If the ceremony succeeds, the limit of our race will be Chaotic Primes if nothing unexpected happens. At that time, the suppression of the Grand Exalt will weaken, and it'll be much easier for us to become Infinite Primes," said the city lord of Dark Night City. The City Lord of Anye City, Bai Jin, said. His gaze was fixed on the drop of essence blood in his hand. He knew very well how important the essence blood of the Mythological Beast was to the Grand Ritual.
Their Darkstar race had been preparing for this ceremony for countless years. The ceremony that would be held soon had been planned many years ago, but there was only a seventy percent chance of success.
The appearance of the divine beast was completely outside of their plans. To the Darkstar race, this was a pleasant surprise that they had not expected at all.
Because the bloodline power of the divine beast was too strong, with the help of the bloodline power, the success rate of the Grand Ritual would be raised from 70% to 90%.
The Vice City Lord, Si Wuqing, glanced in the direction of the city gate and showed a trace of regret. He said, "It's a pity that the cultivator from the outside world was so strong. If he had been sent to the depths of the Two World Mountain to hunt the Divine King Realm Life Sucking Beast, he would have achieved very good results."
"There's nothing to feel pity about. This person's ability to fight above his level is too strong. If we don't kill him now, it will be even harder to kill him in the future." Vice City Lord Xue Sha said. He had already retracted his Divine Sense that swept toward the city gate. He guessed that the martial artist from the outside world had already fallen.
Because the Divine King was only at the middle stage of the Divine Realm, no matter how strong he was, he would definitely die under Proud Ice King's Divine Battle Skill, Doomsday Star.
"Well, since the matter at the city gate has been settled, let's not waste time here. Let's seize the time to refine this drop of blood essence." Bai Jin, the City Lord of Dark Night City, spoke. He pondered for a while and continued, "The day of the Grand Ritual is getting closer and closer. The flesh and blood of the Divine King Realm Life Sucking Beast is also indispensable for the Grand Ritual. We must prepare more. Manager Hong, you must gather more cultivators from the outside world to hunt in the depths of the Two World Mountain. This task was given by the Great Emperor himself.
"Yes, City Lord!" Manager Hong was a white-haired old man. He assisted the City Lord of Dark Night City, and he was in charge of handling trivial matters. He seemed to think of something, and he became troubled. He asked, "City Lord, the Seventh Hall's leader is very prejudiced against cultivators from the outside world, and he has already breached the Hundred Saints City. If we work with cultivators from the outside world now, won't the Seventh Hall's leader become displeased?"
All the upper echelon of Dark Night City feared the Seventh Hall's leader when he was mentioned. Not only was he a Primordial realm expert, but he was also one of the leaders of the ten great halls. He had countless Divine King Realm experts under his command. Even the vice-leaders who had also reached the Primordial realm listened to the Seventh Hall's leader.
Most importantly, the Seventh Hall's leader had been in charge of the Darkstar race for the past thousand years.
He could decide all the matters of the Darkstar race. Even the leaders of the other nine halls had no right to interfere. He was the person with the greatest authority below the Darkstar Emperor.
"There's no need to worry. The Seventh Hall's leader is only targeting the Hundred Saints City. We just need to avoid recruiting the organisations that control the Hundred Saints City. Moreover, we'll need to rely on cultivators from the outside world to hunt down the Divine King Realm Life-Devouring Beast in the depths of Two World Mountain. If we rely on our clansmen, the casualties will be extremely great, "said Bai Jin.
"Yes, sir!"
With that, Bai Jin was about to lead everyone to continue refining the essence blood. However, just as he turned around, a surging killing intent suddenly erupted from the city gates.
Bai Jin paused. He looked in the direction of the city gates, and a sliver of surprise appeared in his eyes.
The Divine King Realm cultivator from the outside world was actually still alive after taking on an attack from the Proud Ice King's God Tier Battle Skill, Doomsday Star?
The Deputy Castellans and all the higher-ups beside Bai Jin had the same reaction as Bai Jin. Their faces were filled with astonishment.
At the city gates of Anye City, the ancient city walls had long collapsed and turned into ruins. The energy storm formed by the explosion of the God Tier Battle Skill, Doomsday Star, was slowly dissipating. Jianchen's figure, which was submerged in the violent energy turbulence, gradually emerged.
He was still floating in the air, looking battered and exhausted. His face was terrifyingly pale, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
He had spent a lot of effort to force out this trace of blood.
All his injuries and weakness were naturally faked. However, the surging killing intent emanating from his body was not fake at all. He really wanted to kill.
"Seiyu's essence blood. They actually took out Seiyu's essence blood."
Every movement in Anye City could not escape Jianchen's powerful Mind Sense. He naturally discovered the drop of essence blood in Bai Jin's hand. This instantly ignited the anger in his heart, and made his killing intent erupt like a volcano.
Essence blood was different from ordinary blood because it was the blood of the heart, the blood of life. It was self-evident that it was precious to any cultivator or Divine Beast. Regardless of whether they were cultivators or Divine Beasts, the essence blood in their bodies was extremely limited. Even a drop of it could cause great damage to their vitality.
At this moment, he actually found a drop of Seiyu's essence blood in Anye City!
Anye City was only a city that was not ranked high among the 36 cities of the Darkstar Clan. Its strength was only average. If such an ordinary city had a drop of Seiyu's essence blood, how could the cities stronger than Anye City not have one?
"Darkstar Clan, how dare you treat Seiyu like this. I'll make you regret it." Jianchen roared in his heart. He found that Seiyu's essence blood had become impure. It was contaminated with a trace of the aura of the Darkstar Clan.
