The figure of Darkstar Emperor's primordial spirit emerged from the bronze lamp. The lamp protected his primordial spirit and saved him from the calamity.
In other words, the bronze lamp was the Darkstar Emperor's soul. His soul had already fused with the bronze lamp perfectly. The only way to destroy his soul was to destroy the bronze lamp.
As long as the lamp existed, the Darkstar Emperor would never die.
Once the lamp was extinguished, the Darkstar Emperor would naturally disperse.
"Emperor …"
In the distance, all the Infinite Primes hiding in the various divine halls cried out sorrowfully. They looked at the Darkstar Emperor's soul and felt like their entire world had collapsed.
This was because the Darkstar Emperor was an invincible existence among the Darkstar race. He was undefeatable. When he was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime, he possessed battle prowess that was no weaker than Chaotic Primes.
Even in the Saints' World where experts and prodigies were plentiful, the Darkstar Emperor was an existence that stood at the peak. He could look down on his peers.
He was the pride of the Darkstar race, their spiritual pillar.
Now, the invincible emperor of the Darkstar race had actually been defeated by an Eighth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime who was less than a thousand years old.
His defeat had an extremely great impact on the Darkstar race. It had also caused the image of invincibility in the hearts of all the Darkstar race to collapse at that moment.
It felt as if the spine of the world that supported the world had suddenly snapped. The impact of this on the Darkstar race was immeasurable.
At that moment, all the Primordial realm experts hiding in the divine halls became dejected.
"You can't destroy Emperor's soul." The Darkstar Emperor's soul appeared in the bronze lamp. However, he was extremely calm right now. Apart from his gaze towards Jianchen that was filled with mixed feelings, there were no other emotions.
All the fury and killing intent he had developed three days ago seemed to have vanished with the destruction of his body.
"I know that with this lamp, I can't destroy you no matter what. I can only destroy your body at most. However, I never wanted to kill you. I just wanted you to pay the price for your actions, "Jianchen hovered before the bronze lamp. His face was emotionless, and his eyes were as cold as ever.
When Jianchen used the Profound Sword Qi to attack the Darkstar Emperor for the first time, he knew that he did not have the ability to kill the Darkstar Emperor.
This was because the bronze lamp was a high quality god artifact. Moreover, under his observation, he discovered that the high quality god artifact was not damaged like other god artifacts. Instead, it seemed to be in perfect condition.
Even weaker Grand Primes would not be able to destroy a high quality god artifact, let alone him, who only possessed the battle prowess of a Chaotic Prime.
"Pay for what we've done? Hahahaha … "The Darkstar Emperor seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world when he heard that. He laughed aloud," Cultivator of the outside world, look at my clansmen, and then look at this world. Then tell me, what have my clansmen done wrong? What heinous crimes have my clansmen committed? But what happened in the end? Generations after generations of our ancestors, generations after generations of our clansmen, will be trapped here forever. "
"That's right. The ancestors of our Darkstar race did have grievances with the Wood Spirit clan, but all of the grievances and grievances originated from our ancestors' generation. What have we done wrong? What have we done wrong? In the end, we have to be trapped here forever … "
"Do you know that there are countless clansmen of our Darkstar race who have never set foot in the outside world from the moment they were born until the moment they died? All of them know just how colourful the outside world is. All of them know just how beautiful the outside world is. They also know just how easy it is to cultivate in the outside world … "
"Not a single clansman of our Darkstar race envies the outside world. All of us yearn for the outside world, but unfortunately, they've all been trapped in this miniature world by the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirit clan, unable to leave for the rest of their lives. In the end, they can only die with regret and yearning for the outside world …"
The eyes of the Darkstar Emperor's soul gradually sharpened. He stared at Jianchen firmly and gritted his teeth, "Cultivator of the outside world, then tell us, what have we done wrong to be trapped here forever by the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirit clan? He's a mighty Grand Exalt. Just how great is his status? Yet, he's so narrow-minded, pushing his hatred towards our ancestors onto us innocent people of the later generation. "
"It's already pitiful enough that our Darkstar race has been reduced to such a state. Even if we want to break through to Chaotic Prime, we need to prepare for many years. We need to use the power of our entire race to hold a great ceremony and contend against the will of the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirit clan. On the other hand, you people of the outside world are blessed with unique conditions. Let alone breaking through to Chaotic Prime, even reaching a supreme cultivation realm like Grand Prime is easier than breaking through from the Divine King realm to the Primordial realm for us Darkstar race … "
"Cultivator of the outside world, tell me. Haven't we paid a great price for being trapped here for so many years? Haven't we lost enough? As for everything we've done, it's just to break free from the restraints of the world. What have we done wrong? "
"We Darkstar people have always dreamed of a day when we could be like you, soaring through the vast and bountiful world of the Saints' World freely. We're only working hard for our dreams, for the lifelong wish of all our clansmen …"
Jianchen was unfazed by the Darkstar Emperor's heartfelt explanation. He had spent quite some time with the Darkstar race, so he understood the situation of the Darkstar World extremely well.
"You want to hold a great ceremony, and you even want to use a divine beast with a powerful bloodline as a sacrifice. That has nothing to do with me. You can only blame yourself for choosing the wrong target for the sacrifice," Jianchen said coldly.
The Darkstar Emperor shook his head and said, "We don't regret choosing that Divine Beast as the sacrificial target at all, because Divine Beasts that can be used as sacrificial offerings of this level are extremely rare in the world. It's even rarer for one to appear in our Darkstar Realm. As long as we encounter one, we will definitely not give up. If time could be reversed and we were given a chance to choose again, we would still choose to use the divine beast as a sacrifice. "
Jianchen frowned when he heard that. Coldness filled his eyes once again.
"It's just that we never thought that there would be a person with such terrifying talent behind the divine beast, reaching the Primordial realm before the age of a thousand. If we had known about this earlier, we would not have failed the ceremony this time … "The Darkstar Emperor sighed deeply. He was filled with regret.
Jianchen understood that with the Darkstar race's strength and methods, his chances of saving Seiyu would have become extremely slim or even impossible if they had learnt of his existence beforehand.
Even he was in danger of dying.
This was because as long as the Darkstar race hardened their hearts to destroy the Dao Birth Fruit or prevent him from obtaining the Dao Birth Fruit, they would gather the power of the entire race to cast a supreme curse. Then, he wouldn't be able to last long before he broke through.
Even if he fled to the Two World Mountain, he would not be able to survive.
Not to mention, there was still the Darkstar Emperor as a powerful enemy. He was not the Darkstar Emperor's opponent before he broke through.
There were also the ten divine halls of the Darkstar race. If they had used medium quality god artifacts as divine halls beforehand and cast down powerful formations like the ones in the royal capital to trap Jianchen before the Darkstar Emperor attacked him, Jianchen would have been in danger as well.
