All of a sudden, Sen Ran seemed to have understood something. His eyes widened as he stared at "Kun Tian" in front of him in disbelief. His heart was in turmoil.
"I- I understand now. Y- you're not Kun Tian at all. W- who are you? Who are you?" When he said these words, the shock and disbelief in his heart had already reached a world-shaking level. At the same time, there was also a deep sense of fear mixed within.
This fear was so strong that even his soul was trembling, and his entire body couldn't help but tremble.
He had already realised that if Kun Tian was an imposter, the imposter would definitely be a cultivator from the outside world.
Cultivators from the outside world who were over a thousand years old could not enter the Darkstar World through the tunnel between the two worlds. However, the imposter Kun Tian was a true Sixth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime. His battle prowess was even greater than experts who had just broken through to the Sixth Heavenly Layer.
What did this mean?
It meant that a Sixth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime who was less than a thousand years old had appeared in the outside world.
Moreover, this expert had snuck into their Darkstar World silently, infiltrating the upper echelon of the Darkstar race.
He had become a high and mighty Palace Master who held great power in his hands.
This was just too terrifying. It was so terrifying that Sen Ran's fear had reached an unprecedented level.
"You're pretty smart. You've actually seen through my identity so quickly." Jianchen smiled mysteriously. He said, "Sen Ran, do you still remember the cultivator from the outside world who caused havoc in Dark Night City not long ago?"
Sen Ran's eyes widened as he said in shock, "A- a- so you're the cultivator from the outside world called Gu Qi.
You … You … "Sen Ran was so shocked that he could not speak. However, he understood that a powerful person from the outside world who had schemed to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Darkstar Race must have some shocking secret that could not be revealed.
Suddenly, he thought of the great sacrificial ceremony that the Darkstar race would be holding soon that would determine the fate of their entire race. He immediately became extremely nervous.
"I can't die here. I definitely can't die here. I have to go back. I have to do everything in my power to go back and report this shocking news to the Great Emperor." His gaze immediately became crazed. The life force in his body was draining away at an extremely terrifying rate. It was not just his life force. Even his essence was burning at the same time. He was already using a secret technique at the cost of his life.
"You still want to escape? Senran, you know my biggest secret. Do you think I will let you leave here alive? " Jianchen sneered. He kicked Sen Ran's head, and the powerful force sent Sen Ran's body flying.
His primordial spirit suffered a violent impact, and he felt dizzy. His primordial spirit shook violently, as if it was about to split apart. The escape technique he was about to cast was abruptly interrupted.
The deafening roars of beasts constantly rang out in their surroundings. The presences of the Primordial realm blanketed the surroundings. Over forty Primordial realm Life-Devouring Beasts surrounded them from all directions. They moved extremely quickly.
The fastest one was only a few hundred kilometres away from the two of them. This seemed very far, but it was only a few minutes for Primordial realm experts.
It was a bird that flew through the air at high speeds. It was impossible to tell what species it was. It had the head of a huge hawk and the body of a cheetah. It had two pairs of wings on its back, one large and one small. They were engraved with beautiful and admirable patterns, just like the wings of a butterfly.
Every time it flapped its wings, a gust of wind would be whipped up high in the sky. Fog would churn, and wind blades would appear out of thin air. They were incomparably sharp as they swept in all directions, cutting down many of the towering ancient trees below. All of the numerous Life Sucking Beasts that were active in the forest would tremble and crawl on the ground.
Behind the strange bird, the ground shook violently and rhythmically. A colossal figure that was several hundred metres tall could be vaguely seen running through the mist behind it.
It was difficult to imagine just how heavy its body was. With every step it took, the ground would tremble and the mountains would shake. As it ran, it smashed through everything in its path. Countless towering trees and boulders were reduced to pieces. Even the thick fog that filled the area seemed to disperse due to the terrifying power it possessed when it came into contact with its colossal body.
This was a colossal Primordial realm Life-Devouring Beast. It was truly unstoppable. Wherever it passed by, it would leave behind a path of vacuum as it approached Jianchen with unstoppable force.
These two were the Primordial realm Life-Devouring Beasts closest to Jianchen. There were even more Primordial realm Life-Devouring Beasts in the surroundings. However, due to the difference in distance and speed, the time they came into contact with Jianchen and Sen Ran was different as well.
Sen Ran also sensed the rapidly approaching Primordial realm Life-Devouring Beasts. His face was ashen as despair filled his eyes. He said viciously, "Even if you kill me, you won't be able to survive either. We've already been surrounded by so many domain king level Life-Devouring Beasts of the Two World Mountain. Even if your strength isn't suppressed by the Two World Mountain, you won't be able to escape."
"If I were you, the first thing I would do would be to leave here quickly so that I wouldn't die from the encirclement. After all, this is the Two World Mountain, not outside."
Jianchen could not help but look around when he heard that. He immediately became serious. The strength of the Two World Mountain could not be underestimated. It was no weaker than the Darkstar race. This time, there were twelve Primordial realm Life-Devouring Beasts at the Fifth Heavenly Layer or higher. This number had already surpassed the Darkstar race.
This was because only the leaders of the ten divine halls and the Darkstar Emperor who rarely showed himself were at the Fifth Heavenly Layer or higher in the entire Darkstar race.
However, just when Jianchen paid attention to the surroundings, determination appeared in Sen Ran's eyes. In the next moment, with a deafening boom, Sen Ran's entire body exploded. His tremendous cultivation, which was equivalent to a Fifth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime, actually turned into a meter-long finger in the air. It radiated with shocking might.
The finger condensed all the energy in Sen Ran's body.
A Fifth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime had condensed all his cultivation into the finger after countless years of arduous cultivation. In the end, the power of the finger had completely exceeded the limit of the Fifth Heavenly Layer, reaching the peak of the Sixth Heavenly Layer. It had even reached the threshold of the Seventh Heavenly Layer.
However, Sen Ran did not die. His body had been destroyed, but his soul remained. His dim soul was wrapped up by energy, and it fled out of the Two World Mountain as a streak of light when his body exploded.
At the same time, the finger condensed from all the energy in his body shot towards Jianchen with terrifying power that could destroy space.
Jianchen's eyes shone brightly. He could clearly sense an ancient and powerful will from the finger. It was also because of the existence of the will that the power of the Two World Mountain was unable to bind the finger. As a result, the power of the finger could be completely unleashed in the special environment of the Two World Mountain without weakening at all.
"A sliver of the will of a Grand Exalt of the Darkstar race?" Jianchen murmured inside. With a flash, he vanished in a single instance. When he reappeared, he was already a hundred kilometres away.
However, his presence had been locked onto. The finger of energy pursued Jianchen as a black streak of light. It pierced through space, ignoring the laws of space and appearing before Jianchen in a single instance. Afterwards, it passed through Jianchen without any obstructions.
However, this was only an afterimage. His true body had already appeared a hundred kilometres away through the Laws of Space. He stood on the back of the Primordial realm Life-Devouring Beast with the leopard's body and butterfly wings that had arrived first.
The Primordial realm Life-Devouring Beast sensed Jianchen the moment he appeared. However, it was in no mood to pay attention to the person on its back right now. Its eyes narrowed as it stared at the finger of energy that shot towards it as a streak of black light.
The Life-Devouring Beast was around the strength of a Fifth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime. It felt an unprecedented threat from the finger that possessed a sliver of the will of a Grand Exalt of the Darkstar race, which had reached the peak of the Sixth Heavenly Layer.
Its intelligence was not enough to determine that the finger's target was not it, but the figure standing on its back. In its instincts, since the finger was coming straight for it, it was its enemy.
Its beautiful butterfly-like wings suddenly emitted a dazzling light. When the wings closed, it formed a huge light blade that directly slashed at the incoming energy finger.
Boom!
With a great rumble, the attack from the Primordial realm Life-Devouring Beast was nothing before the finger of energy. It was shattered immediately, while the finger of energy did not slow down at all. It struck the Life-Devouring Beast mercilessly with the might of a Sixth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime.
The Life Sucking Beast with a pair of butterfly wings let out a painful wail as its huge body fell from the sky. Dark green liquid flowed out of its giant eagle head, and cracks appeared on its skull. The butterfly wings on its back were also badly damaged, and a small part of them was missing, causing the wings to no longer be complete.
As for Jian Chen who stood on its back, he had vanished at some point in time as well.
To another side, Ghastly's soul rapidly fled outside under the protection of a ball of energy. Even though he was a soul now, his presence still leaked out in all directions, allowing all the Primordial realm Life-Devouring Beasts to sense his existence.
Ghastly could hide his presence with a secret technique when he possessed a body, but now that he was a soul, he could not hide his presence even if he wanted to. As a result, he became a huge light bulb in the eyes of all the Primordial realm Life-Devouring Beasts in the Two World Mountain Range.
As for Jianchen, his presence had completely vanished when Ghastly's finger of energy struck the Life-Devouring Beast.
"Although I've lost my body, it's not easy for you to block an attack condensed from all the cultivation in my body even if you have the full strength of a Sixth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime. By the time you catch your breath, the domain king level Life Devouring Beast will have already entangled you. Only death will await you in the end," Jian Chen said coldly.
"Although I can't restrain my aura in my Primordial Spirit state, my speed is even faster. These Life Sucking Beasts can forget about catching up to me. Kun Tian, no, I should say Gu Qi, if you want to kill me, you're still lacking a little …" A cold smile appeared at the corner of Ghastly's mouth as he fled. He did not feel sorry for losing his physical body at all.
The greatest benefit of the Darkstar race was that they did not have internal strife, allowing them to live extremely long lives. As long as their souls remained, they had plenty of time to recover their lost cultivation.
"I'm still lacking a little if I want to kill you? Leader Ghastly, aren't you overestimating yourself? "However, at this moment, a calm and slightly mocking voice rang out from up ahead.
