The ten hall masters and all the vice-hall masters were still on their way to the medicinal garden. Aside from the Darkstar Emperor, there was not a single Primordial realm expert in the royal capital.
The Darkstar Emperor stood at the top of the divine hall as he silently stared at the ruined royal capital below. He silently watched as countless Darkstar clansmen moved corpses and cleaned up the battlefield. He said nothing for a very long time.
The entire royal capital was enveloped by a gloomy atmosphere. It no longer possessed its former glory, making it seem especially oppressive.
Thousands of miles up in the sky, the altar had not disappeared. Tian Shengxian's figure had clearly become faint, as if a gust of wind could blow him away. He stood on the altar and looked at the Darkstar Emperor who had already returned, a victorious smile appearing at the corners of his mouth that no one could see clearly.
"Emperor, have you taken back the divine beast's body?" Tian Shengxian's figure silently appeared beside the Darkstar Emperor. His tone was heavy, and there was clearly a hint of anxiety.
The Darkstar Emperor remained silent. He stared at the city below as if he had not heard Tian Shengxian's words at all.
Only after a while did he speak slowly. His voice was sorrowful and filled with doubt, "Tian Shengxian, let the Emperor ask you. Have you really not been able to tell that Kun Tian had already been replaced by someone else?"
Tian Shengxian sighed at the sky and said bitterly, "I was wrong. I never thought that this person would possess a treasure that can perfectly conceal his presence. Although there are treasures like that in the Saints' World, they're all god artifacts of quite a high quality without any exception. They can't be brought into the Darkstar World. However, I've never seen or heard of a treasure that can be brought into the Dark Star World and possess such great disguising abilities in the Saints' World. "
"Looking at it now, Kun Tian had already been replaced by someone else the moment he lost his memories. I never thought that he would be able to disguise himself for so long right under my nose. Sigh, I also have an unavoidable responsibility for the failure of the Grand Ritual this time. I am the greatest sinner of the entire clan. "Tian Shengxian's tone was low and filled with guilt. There was also a deep hatred mixed within.
As soon as he heard Tian Shengxian mention the ability to disguise himself, the Darkstar Emperor could not help but think back to his interactions with the amnesiac Kun Tian back in the Darkstar race, as well as the ability Jianchen had displayed to completely conceal his presence. He immediately felt resentment.
Not long after, the ten Hall Masters and all the Deputy Hall Masters who had rushed to the herb garden returned one after another, once again gathering in the Imperial City.
However, all the Primordial realm experts became heavy-hearted when they saw the miserable state of the royal capital. They were stern and felt miserable.
Feng Xue, the Tenth Hall Master, looked as if she had lost her soul. Her expression was filled with sorrow, and she was in low spirits.
"I never thought that Kun Tian would actually be impersonated. In other words, it's extremely likely that he killed our Eighth Hall Master," a Deputy Hall Master of the Eighth Hall said through gritted teeth.
No one replied. The Eighth Hall Master's death was suspicious, and he was in the Two World Mountain with the impersonator. There was no need to doubt his death.
This was because the impersonator did possess such strength.
Moreover, the Eighth Hall Master was in the Two World Mountain at the time, so his strength was suppressed. However, the impersonator was a cultivator from the outside world, so he could ignore the suppression to a certain extent.
The disparity in strength between the two sides was huge in the first place. Coupled with the fact that the Eighth Hall Master was weakened, the Eighth Hall Master was obviously unable to escape.
"Everyone, listen up. Immediately summon all the clansmen and use their blood as a sacrifice to activate the Incantation Scriptures. Gather the will of the entire clan and activate the supreme incantation," the Darkstar Emperor ordered decisively.
All the Primordial realm experts of the Darkstar race were shocked when they heard that.
"Emperor, do we really need to do this?"
"Emperor, we haven't been forced to do that yet. The enemy is powerful, but it's not like we can't fight …"
The Darkstar Emperor glanced past everyone coldly and said coldly, "The Fruit of Ways has already fallen into the hands of the cultivator from the outside world. Once he breaks through, the consequences will be unimaginable. We need to kill him regardless of the cost before he breaks through."
.....
Jianchen dragged his heavily injured and battered body through the forest in the Two World Mountain. He kept his presence concealed, so no energy leaked out from him at all. He seemed like a ghost as he moved silently. Even the Life-devouring Beasts that littered the forest failed to discover his existence.
He was just too heavily injured from the battle against the Darkstar Emperor. In particular, when he was smashed into the ground by the Royal Seal with the power of a medium quality god artifact, he had basically suffered fatal injuries. If it were not for the powerful vitality and recovery granted by the Chaotic Body, it would have been impossible for him to last until now.
This was because his current situation could no longer be described as miserable. If an ordinary person were to see him, they would probably call him a "demon" with a face full of horror.
There was a crack in his head, and a glowing primordial spirit could be faintly seen hiding inside. His entire face was badly mutilated, and his facial features could no longer be distinguished. Half of the flesh on his upper body was gone, and part of his sternum was completely shattered. His internal organs were all damaged, and even a small part of his left arm was broken. It was a horrible sight.
Although he was so heavily injured, Jianchen's presence of life was still extremely vigorous. Every inch of his flesh, and even every drop of blood, possessed quite a lot of life force. At this moment, the life force stimulated his Chaotic Body, causing his wounds to gradually recover.
Jianchen moved in a completely zigzag manner, constantly changing his direction. He moved through the depths of the Two World Mountain randomly like a headless fly. However, with the mask hiding his presence, he was not afraid of being discovered by the Life-devouring Beasts.
In the end, Jianchen finally stopped after venturing who knew how many kilometers into the Two World Mountain. He leaned against a towering tree and sat down on the ground as he gasped for breath.
However, just when he touched the tree, a crack suddenly appeared on the trunk of the tree that was several hundred meters tall. It was like an eye had opened silently. In the next moment, all the branches of the towering tree suddenly began to dance. They immediately fell down, forming thorny vines that wrapped around Jianchen.
Jianchen was immediately swallowed up. He was surrounded by countless layers of branches, making him seem like a huge cocoon.
To no surprise, the towering tree was a Life-devouring Beast.
Not all the Life-devouring Beasts in the Two World Mountain were in the shape of animals. Every single flower, blade of grass, and rock could gain intelligence and become a Life-devouring Beast.
The tree wrapped around Jianchen with countless branches. Clearly, it wanted to use a special method to devour Jianchen's life force.
However, soon after, the great tree began to tremble. The entire tree began to shake more and more violently.
Under its devouring, not only did the tree's vitality not increase, it was decreasing at a terrifying speed until the entire tree withered and shrank rapidly.
It failed to devour Jianchen and was instead devoured by Jianchen.
In just a few breaths of time, this incomparably sturdy towering tree had completely turned into a withered tree, losing all signs of life.
"The life force of a mere Divine King Realm Life-devouring Beast is still too weak to me. Moreover, there's an imprint that's difficult to remove hidden within the life force. Whatever, I'll use it to heal for now. It's better than relying on the Chaotic Body to recover. I'll refine the imprint slowly after some time, "Jian Chen thought. Afterwards, he allowed the withered branches to wrap around him as he slowly healed in peace.
Under his control, the rate of recovery of his injuries immediately increased by quite a bit. However, the injuries he had suffered this time were just too severe. If he wanted to fully recover, he would still need quite a bit of time.
Jianchen did not want to waste too much time healing, so he took out various healing pills from his Space Ring and gulped them down like candy.
These healing pills all came from cultivators in the outside world. Although they were not of great quality, there were a lot of them, so it was better than nothing.
Afterwards, he took out many God Tier heavenly resources from his Space Ring. He no longer cared about wasting them. After identifying their types and effects, he began to consume the ones that could help with healing.
These heavenly resources all came from the medicinal garden of the Darkstar clan. Earlier, when the Laws of Time crystal had accelerated the growth of the Phantasmal Fruit, Jianchen had swept through the entire garden. He stowed away all the heavenly resources that caught his eye. There were all kinds of heavenly resources, so they just happened to come in handy now.
With the help of these heavenly resources, Jianchen's wounds immediately healed much faster. His flesh grew back, and his organs were reconstructed. Even his severed left arm had recovered completely.
The ability to regrow limbs was nothing difficult even for Godhood cultivators, let alone Jianchen who had reached the Primordial realm and cultivated the Chaotic Body.
As Jianchen healed, the Darkstar clan was not peaceful either. All the cultivators in the outside world had been captured, and the Darkstar clan began to interrogate every single one of them. They wanted to gather all the information and information they could about Jianchen.
The Hundred Saints City received even more attention from the Darkstar race. Everyone was taken to the Darkstar race's royal palace. The fifty-two organisations that had remained in the Hundred Saints City because of the fifth hall master's protection were all doomed. All the Divine King loyalists they had brought with them were executed, and all their subordinates were interrogated. They had even used methods similar to soul-searching to make full use of them, but they were still mercilessly executed by the Darkstar clan.
This time, the Darkstar clan was unprecedentedly cold-blooded and vicious to the cultivators in the outside world. This was not only because the person who had impersonated Kun Tian had protected them in the past, but also because the Hundred Saints City had taken part in the destruction of the Darkstar clan's grand ceremony.
The Artifact Spirit of the Hundred Saints City had used all the power in the city, paying the price of her life to keep the Darkstar Emperor busy with a startling strike. That was why Jianchen had the opportunity to steal the divine beast used for the sacrifice so easily.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Jianchen to steal away Seiyu with the Darkstar Emperor personally watching over it. He might not even have succeeded.
As a result, the Darkstar clan held a grudge against the Hundred Saints City. In particular, the Darkstar Emperor's grudge towards the Hundred Saints City was no less than Jianchen's.
The prodigies of the Hundred Saints City all felt wronged because what happened to the Hundred Saints City had nothing to do with them. It was completely out of their control. However, how could the Darkstar clan believe their one-sided story? Even when they discovered that they really did not know anything after interrogating them, they would still push the blame to the organisation behind them.
With the prodigies' puny strength, it was indeed impossible for them to do such a thing. However, the Hundred Saints City was personally created by the peak clans of the Saints' World after all. With the abilities of the peak clans, they did possess methods that were almost miraculous in the eyes of the Darkstar clan.
As a result, the prodigies of the Hundred Saints City were unable to explain themselves.
