The entire Hundred Saints City was enveloped in a heavy atmosphere. Even the several dozen organisations under the protection of the fifth divine hall felt uneasy. They began to suspect that something had happened to the upper echelon of the Darkstar race, such that the protection of the fifth divine hall was no longer effective. Otherwise, why would a Fourth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime personally lead two armies to Hundred Saints City in such an aggressive manner?
While the entire Hundred Saints City was on high alert, the two Darkstar legions led by An Lie finally arrived at the Hundred Saints City. Shortly after, the legions began to disperse, forming a huge encirclement that surrounded the entire Hundred Saints City.
Seeing the formation of the Darkstar race, all the major forces in the Hundred Saint City changed their expression. The two legions of the Darkstar race had actually surrounded the Hundred Saint City. Clearly, they were planning to capture a turtle in a jar, not letting anyone escape.
The current situation was extremely unfavourable to Hundred Saints City.
This was because they were facing a Fourth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime. Before an expert like that, the protective formations of Hundred Saints City could only last for a few days. Once they ran out of energy, Hundred Saints City would fall apart.
On the tall city walls of the Hundred Saints City, numerous prodigies were lined up in a row. The Jade Pill Sect's prodigy who had promised to receive the eternal protection of the Fifth Hall Master could be said to be the one with the most confidence. He stood proudly and loudly shouted toward the outside of the city, "Vice Hall Master An Lie, the Fifth Divine Hall's Earth Sky Hall Master has already promised to protect us so that we won't be targeted or oppressed by any Dark Star Race forces in the Dark Star Realm. However, you've led an army to surround our Hundred Saints City.
An Lie hovered in the air. He was several dozen metres taller than Hundred Saints City. He looked down on the city while the commanders of the two armies stood behind him politely.
An Lie smiled warmly when he heard what the prodigy of the Jade Pill sect had said. He said, "You don't need to worry. We naturally won't touch any organisation that is protected by the fifth hall master. However, not all organisations in Hundred Saints City are protected by the fifth hall master."
Hearing this, the factions that were protected in the Hundred Saint City immediately breathed a sigh of relief, while the factions that were not protected paled. They had already realized that the Seventh Divine Hall had mobilized such a large number of people, and was clearly targeting them.
At this time, An Lie's voice continued, "Many of our people have died at your hands. Even if we kill you all, it will be difficult to wash away this hatred. However, since some of you are under the protection of the fifth temple master, we naturally have to give face to the fifth temple master. We won't touch you for the next five hundred years, but the rest of you, we, the seventh temple, will not let go of you."
"I'll give you three days to consider. If you don't remove the formation after three days, I'll have no choice but to break this formation myself. We, the Seventh Palace, have already given the Fifth Palace Master face. If you really force me to take action because of your defensive formation, even if the Fifth Palace Master comes personally, he will have nothing to say … "
.....
The two armies of the Darkstar Race besieged Hundred Saints City for three days. At the last moment of the three-day period, Hundred Saints City finally removed the defensive formation. The entire Hundred Saints City was in a completely defenseless state.
However, when Jia Di led the army into Hundred Saints City, the forces stationed in Hundred Saints City had been reduced by one-third. Only the 51 organisations under the protection of the fifth temple master remained in Hundred Saints City. The rest of the organisations, including the Heavenly Thunder Clan, had all evacuated and left through the Transmission Formation set up inside Hundred Saints City.
An Lie had clearly expected such an outcome, so he did not find it strange at all. He only walked around the Hundred Saints City symbolically before leaving. However, before he left, he muttered to himself, "What is Kun Tian trying to do? Now I really can't figure out his thoughts. "
.....
The Fifth Palace
"Reporting to Palace Master, Deputy Palace Master An Lie of the Seventh Palace has led the army into Hundred Saints City. However, the organisations in Hundred Saints City that are not under the protection of the Palace Master have already left. Deputy Palace Master An Lie found nothing and is returning with the army …" A Divine King knelt down with his head deeply buried in the ground and reported respectfully.
"You may leave!" Jianchen sat on the throne and said softly.
"Yes, Palace Master!"
After the subordinate left, Jianchen, who was sitting on the throne, let out a long sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "They finally left. This is good too. I have less to worry about. The Seventh Palace kept their promise. Well, the energy of the Divine Crystals in the herb garden area that the Seventh Palace is in charge of seems to be running out. The same goes for the Sixth Palace. I have to replenish it. "
Afterwards, Jianchen did not take anyone with him. Instead, he went to the area where the herb garden was through a teleportation formation alone.
The herb garden was a secret among the Darkstar race. Only Primordial realm experts had the right to know about its existence. The divine crystals that the Darkstar race had obtained from the cultivators of the outside world were all used to nurture the herb garden.
Arriving in the herb garden, Jianchen discovered that basically the entire garden was drizzling. The rain was not a natural rain. Instead, it was completely condensed from pure energy.
At this moment, the density of the energy in the herb garden was a hundred times denser than the last time he had been here. It might even be more than a hundred times denser.
Of course, such dense energy was only distributed along the edges of the garden. The closer it was to the centre, the thinner the energy would be.
This was because the central region was where the Dao Birth Fruit grew. At this moment, as far as the eye could see, the region where the Dao Birth Fruit was located had already formed a vacuum. Not a single trace of energy could linger in this region for even a moment.
It was in a critical period of transforming into a high grade god fruit. The amount of energy it required to advance was extremely tremendous. At the same time, it absorbed energy at an extremely shocking rate. It had already absorbed all the energy in the region, leaving nothing behind. Even though new energy poured in endlessly from all directions, it was completely absorbed in a single moment.
Jianchen went to the regions that the Fifth Divine Hall, Fourth Divine Hall, and Seventh Divine Hall were in charge of first. He tossed out several tens of billions of supreme grade divine crystals in one go, filling up the divine crystal reserves of the three regions. Only then did he stop and observe the situation of the Fruit of Ways from afar.
The central region where the Fruit of Ways grew was protected by an even more powerful formation. The formation had been personally cast down by the Darkstar Emperor. It could completely block the attacks of Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes.
Of course, due to the limited supply of energy, the formation would only be able to block a few attacks from experts of that level.
"The Fruit of Ways should be close to ripening. It's just a pity that I can't predict when it will ripen with my ability. I wonder if the Heavenly Thunder clan can find thirty jades with the Laws of Time for me. If I have those jades, I'll be able to completely control when the Fruit of Ways ripens." Jianchen stared at the Fruit of Ways with undisguised desire.
