Jianchen appeared silently in front of him. He stood with his arms crossed as if he had been waiting for a very long time already.
Immediately, Sen's soul came to a halt as quickly as he could. He glanced at Jianchen, who had blocked his path, in fright. Without any hesitation, he fled in another direction with a heart filled with fear.
This time, he fled even faster. His Primordial Spirit seemed to be burning with a ball of fire. As his speed increased, his Primordial Spirit became weaker and weaker.
At this moment, he was truly fleeing for his life regardless of the cost. He had already used a secret technique to burn his soul in exchange for greater speed.
In a single instance, Sen's soul crossed several hundred kilometres. He moved extremely quickly, pulling away from the several dozen Primordial realm Life-Devouring Beasts in pursuit.
Jian Chen could not help but sneer mockingly. He did not pursue in the direction that Aongheng had fled in. Instead, the space around him pulsed slightly, and he vanished as Spatial Force permeated the surroundings.
"Argh! Impossible! That's impossible! H- how are you faster than me?"
In the next moment, Sen's soul cried out in a mountain forest several hundred kilometres away. His voice was filled with disbelief and despair.
Before him, Jianchen continued to hover in the air with his arms crossed. He was composed, like a cat toying with a mouse.
"Sen, don't even think about fleeing before me. Let alone Two World Mountain, even if we were in the territory of your Darkstar race, you wouldn't be able to escape at all if I wanted to kill you," Jian Chen said indifferently. With that, he suddenly extended his hand and grabbed at the awe-inspiring soul from afar.
With that, the space around Sen immediately froze. His soul was bound by space as well, unable to move at all.
If he still possessed his body, he could easily shatter the frozen space with the great strength of his body. However, without his body, he had lost his greatest source of power. As a result, under Jian Chen's Spatial Restraints, he was directly reduced to meat on the chopping block, completely at the mercy of Jian Chen.
"The Law of Space! You've actually grasped the Law of Space!" It was only at this moment that Sen suddenly realized why Jianchen was able to surpass him and appear in front of him time and time again. His speed was even faster than when he burned his Primordial Spirit.
Yet, he actually wanted to flee from a Primordial realm expert who had grasped the Laws of Space. That was indeed a waste of effort.
At that moment, Sen Ran truly lost all hope. He understood that even if he moved several times faster, it was impossible for him to escape from a Primordial realm expert who had grasped the Laws of Space.
"Gu Qi, with your strength and talent, you'd probably be a rare prodigy even in the Saints' World where experts are as common as clouds. I don't understand why you would go through so much trouble and take such great risks to infiltrate our Darkstar race with your status. Is it just for the resources you need in the outside world? " He knew that he would not be able to escape death, but before he died, he only hoped that he could die with some understanding.
In the surroundings, the presences of the Primordial realm Life-Devouring Beasts drew closer and closer. The heavy presence was like a lamp in the darkness, pointing out a direction for the Life-Devouring Beasts. As a result, all of them hurried over to where he was.
In just a few seconds, Sen Ran would be surrounded by the Primordial realm Life Devouring Beasts.
"Since you want to know so much, I'll let you know before you die."
"Do you still remember the divine beast that your Darkstar race took away? That divine beast and I are as close as brothers, yet you Darkstar people want to use my kin as a sacrifice for the sake of the success of your grand ritual. I've come to the Darkstar World this time to ruin your grand ceremony and save that divine beast, "Gu Qi said emotionlessly. He was filled with killing intent as soon as he mentioned Sacredfeather, who was still suffering from who knows what kind of torture he was currently enduring.
Hearing this, Sen Ran became silent, but his eyes were filled with sorrow. After a while, he laughed. His laughter was a little crazy as he muttered to himself, "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. After so many years of preparation, in the end, it was because of a divine beast that ruined the grand ceremony of my clan …"
That was Sen Ran's final sentence. With that, the frozen space around him returned to normal. Jianchen, who had been concealing his presence the entire time, vanished silently once again.
As soon as Jianchen vanished, a mountainous apeman that stood over three hundred meters tall appeared before Sen Ran. It produced a deafening roar and directly swung its hand towards Sen Ran's soul.
When the apeman struck out, three colossal figures appeared in three other directions as well. They directly locked onto Sen Ran's soul, which gave off the presence of the Darkstar race, and launched attacks at the same time.
The result was obvious. Sen Ran's fragile soul was unable to put up any resistance at all before the Primordial realm Life-Devouring Beasts. He was obliterated as easily as crushing an ant.
Sen Ran was dead. A powerful Primordial realm expert of the Darkstar race had died so easily in Two World Mountain. No one even knew about his death.
Perhaps because the several dozen Primordial realm Life-Devouring Beasts had sensed the death of the Darkstar expert, some of the Life-Devouring Beasts that had yet to arrive all stopped. Afterwards, they all roared at the sky as if they were passing on a message to one another, as if they were celebrating through this method.
For a moment, terrifying beast roars rang out from the depths of the Two World Mountain Range. They even reached the outskirts, causing the cultivators from the Saints' World who were hunting Life Devouring Beasts in the outskirts to panic. They had no idea what was happening.
However, what Jianchen did not know was that an illusionary figure hovered ten thousand meters above where Sen Ran had died. He seemed to have fused with the surroundings, where every single movement he made possessed the charm of the ways. He seemed to be in harmony with the ways of the world. Even the special environment of Two World Mountain was unable to obstruct him at all.
No one knew when he had appeared, nor did they know how long he had been there. However, he clearly witnessed the battle between Jianchen and Sen Ran, as well as the process of Sen Ran's death.
No one discovered his existence. None of the Primordial realm Life-Devouring Beasts, or even Jianchen, sensed the existence of the figure at all. Even with Jianchen's sharp senses, he failed to sense anything amiss.
"Two of the ten hall masters of the Darkstar race have already passed away. They're missing two hall masters, so the grand ceremony this time has already been affected. Coupled with the fact that Jianchen is a hidden chess piece who's causing trouble at a crucial moment, the grand ceremony will definitely fail this time …"
The figure laughed aloud in the cloudy sky. His laughter was filled with joy as if failing the grand ceremony was extremely important to him.
Afterwards, the figure strolled through the air and left. With a single step, the world immediately changed. The sun and moon seemed to reverse.
In the previous moment, he was still in the depths of Two World Mountain, but with a single step, he crossed an unimaginable distance, directly leaving the range of Two World Mountain. At the same time, he crossed most of the territory of the Darkstar race and arrived before the royal capital of the Darkstar race. In the end, he vanished into the royal capital.
Out of the thirty-six main cities of the Darkstar race, only Dark Night City was the closest to Two World Mountain. Even Jianchen, who had grasped the Laws of Space, needed to use a teleportation formation to reach Dark Night City in the shortest amount of time possible. Afterwards, he would have to fly there at high speeds for a short while.
If he did not use a teleportation formation and directly flew to Two World Mountain from the royal capital, the distance would be several tens of millions of kilometers at the very least, or even over a hundred million kilometers. Even with Jianchen's speed, it would take him quite some time to travel such a distance.
However, at this moment, in front of this illusory human figure, such a long distance was merely covered by a single step. Such a terrifying speed was truly appalling.
