The 108 kings around were startled. They subconsciously looked at Bai Jin's severed right arm with a touch of horror in their eyes.
But immediately, they realized the consequences of losing Bai Jin's Space Ring. This suddenly made all of their faces change.
At this moment, it was not just Bai Jin. The remaining hundred and eight kings, as well as the thirty-six lords who were nearing the end of the Encirclement of the Encirclement, all became extremely ugly. Their faces were filled with anxiety and panic.
They knew too well how precious Bai Jin's Space Ring was. It was not because of the resources inside, but because the drop of Divine Beast Blood Essence distributed by Darkstar the Great was inside.
This drop of Divine Beast Blood Essence was an important thing related to the success rate of the grand ritual. It could not be lost. Otherwise, once the grand ritual was affected, they would become sinners of the entire clan.
If it really came to that point, their own deaths would instead be a trivial matter, because their families and even their relatives would restrain themselves from being implicated.
In short, losing the Divine Beast Blood Essence.
The consequences would be very serious!
"Stop him …"
"Quickly stop his path. Don't let this person leave Dark Night City …"
.....
At this moment, all the 108 kings panicked. The few Deputy City Lords and some higher-ups who were still stationed in the City Lord's Mansion also panicked. Everyone flew out of the City Lord's Mansion and chased after Jianchen at the fastest speed. The voice of the Deputy City Lord, Blood Hangman, came from afar, "All Divine King of Dark Night City, listen to my order. Stop this person. If anyone disobeys, kill without mercy …"
Blood Hangman directly issued a death order, using his authority as the Deputy City Lord to order the entire city.
As soon as his order came out, some of the Divine King of Dark Night City who did not know the inside story were stunned. Many people wondered if their ears had misheard. Wasn't it just dealing with an outer realm martial artist? Although this outer realm martial artist was very strong, was there a need to mobilize so many people? Not only did he want all Divine King of the city to attack, but he also wanted to kill them without mercy?
"We, the Divine King, are existences with a certain status in the tribe. Although this Blood Hangman is the Deputy City Lord, when did the Deputy City Lord have such great authority to directly control our life and death …"
"That's right, we didn't do anything wrong. Not to mention Blood Hangman, even the City Lord Bai Jin doesn't have the authority to control our life and death. What does Blood Hangman think he is …"
.....
The Blood Hangman's words immediately provoked the dissatisfaction of many Divine King. Each and every one of them felt indignant and resentful towards the Blood Hangman.
Even so, many Divine King still soared into the sky, exuding powerful auras as they fearlessly flew towards Jianchen.
"Formation, open!"
At the same time, the Thirty-six Sovereigns' expressions were incomparably solemn. With a shout, they activated the Encirclement Formation in half a breath's time.
Their faces rapidly paled, and some of them even vomited blood. They had suffered quite the backlash from activating the Encirclement Formation prematurely.
Extremely powerful pulses of energy suddenly appeared from the depths of Dark Night City. A tremendous amount of energy surged out from the thirty-six spiritual veins hidden underground, forming thirty-six huge pillars of energy that shot into the sky. They fused with the Thirty-six Sovereigns who had cast down the Encirclement Formation. It seemed like every single one of the Thirty-six Sovereigns was enveloped by a huge pillar of energy. They were like gods that had descended upon the mortal world.
They seemed like divine beings. Afterwards, a huge barrier of energy rapidly descended from the sky with the Thirty-six Sovereigns at the centre, enveloping the entire city.
The space in the region enveloped by the barrier of energy seemed to rapidly freeze up. The abundant origin energy seemed to have frozen up as well.
The barrier of energy seemed to possess a mysterious power. Wherever it passed by, everything froze up.
Jianchen could tell with a single glance that the barrier of energy was powerful. Its defences were so great that even First Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes would struggle to smash through it. Moreover, he knew that the barrier of energy was only the beginning of the Encirclement Formation. As the Encirclement Formation continued to evolve, even more powerful killing formations would appear later on.
Not only could the formation trap First Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes, but it could also kill them.
The huge barrier of energy descended extremely quickly, enveloping the entire city. Although Jianchen was flying out of the city, he was still within its range.
Moreover, many Godkings from the Darkstar clan had appeared before him, blocking his path.
However, after breaking through, even the one hundred and eight Divine King would struggle to endure a single strike from Jianchen, let alone these regular Divine Kings.
He swung his axe wildly, sending all the Godkings flying. A large number of high quality saint artifacts were shattered by a single swing of his axe, shooting out as shards. Battle cries shook the surroundings.
Xue Sha had gathered all the Divine Kings in the city to stop Jianchen, but they were unable to affect Jianchen. They could not even slow him down at all.
This was because the difference in strength was just too great.
"Faster! Faster!" Seeing how Jianchen was getting closer and closer to the entrance, the city lord, Bai Jin, could not help but panic. He roared at the Thirty-six Sovereigns in the formation.
The Thirty-six Sovereigns panicked as well. However, they were unable to move in the Encirclement Formation. All they could do was remain where they were and control the formation, doing their best to increase the speed at which the barrier descended.
However, all their efforts were destined to be wasted, as they were not facing a true late Divine King. Instead, they were facing a Primordial realm expert who had been hiding his strength the entire time.
Jianchen moved faster and faster. Just when the energy barrier was about to seal up the entire city, his speed suddenly skyrocketed. His burly body caused the air to explode as he shot through the air like a bolt of lightning. He basically brushed past the falling energy barrier as he charged out of the city.
Bai Jin, the City Lord of Anye City, was filled with hatred. Just a little bit more and he would have been able to stop the cultivators from the outside world. However, there was nothing he could do since the Encirclement Array could only be used within the city. It required the help of the Spiritual Veins deep underground to support the operation of the array.
"Chase!" Bai Jin gritted his teeth. He led the one hundred and eight kings in pursuit of Jianchen.
Behind him, the Thirty-six Sovereigns were filled with regret and reluctance as well. They dispelled the formation helplessly and chased after Bai Jin.
Xue Sha and the other vice-city lords did not stand by idly either. They mobilized the Divine King of their race in the city, leading a large group of Divine King experts out of the city.
Immediately, large groups of Divine King experts left Dark Night City. They left seven or eight floors of the city, causing Dark Night City's strength to plummet to an unprecedented level.
Many cultivators in the city were stunned by this sight. They stared at the black mass of people in the sky as they were unable to return to their senses for quite some time.
After leaving Dark Night City, Jianchen shot off with lightning speed towards Two World Mountain. Bai Jin's Space Ring had already ended up in his hands.
However, when he sent the senses of his soul into the Space Ring and found Seiyu's essence blood that was tainted with the presence of the Darkstar clan, his face immediately became cold.
