Chapter 2729: Lured into the Two World Mountains

The kings in the surroundings were all stunned. Their eyes became subconsciously glued to Bai Jin’s severed arm, filled with shock.

But afterwards, they realised what the consequences of losing Bai Jin’s Space Ring was, which made their countenance change.

Now, it was not just Bai Jin anymore. The faces of the remaining kings and the thirty-six lords who were close to completing the Heaven’s Net Formation all became twisted, filled with worry and panic.

They understood the value of Bai Jin’s Space Ring just too well, not because of the resources it was holding, but because the droplet of the divine beast’s essence blood from the Darkstar Emperor had stored in there.

The droplet of essence blood played a crucial role in increasing the success rate of the great ceremony. They could not afford to lose it, or they would have essentially wronged the entire race once the great ceremony was affected.

If that really did happen, their own deaths would instead become insignificant, because their clans or even the people close to them would be dragged into the matter as well.

In conclusion, losing the droplet of essence blood came with extremely severe consequences!

“拦住他......”

“Stop him...”

“Block his path! Don’t let him leave the city...”

......

...

With that, all of the kings were thrown into a panic. The vice city lords and members of the upper echelon who had yet to interfere inside the city lord’s estate panicked as well. All of them flew out from the city lord’s estate, pursuing Jian Chen as quickly as they could. The vice city lord Xue Sha’s voice rang out far and wide, “Godkings of the Darknight City, stop that person no matter what. If anyone disobeys, you will not be forgiven. You will be executed without mercy...”

Xue Sha immediately passed an absolute order, commanding the entire city using his authority as a vice city lord.

Some of the Godkings who had no idea what had happened exactly were stunned by his command. Many of them even wondered whether they were hallucinating or not. Wasn’t it just dealing with an outsider? Even if the outsider was powerful, was there a need to rile up everyone? Not only did he mobilise all the Godkings in the city, those who did not take action would be executed mercilessly as well?

“We Godkings possess a certain level of status within the race no matter what. Xue Sha might be a vice city lord, but since when did vice city lords possess such great authority, enough to control our lives...”

“Yeah. It’s not like we’ve done anything wrong. Let alone Xue Sha, even city lord Bai Jin does not have the authority to control our lives. Who does Xue Sha think he is...”

......

...

Xue Sha’s order immediately infuriated many Godkings. All of them refused to accept what he had said. They all resented Xue Sha very much.

Despite that, there were still many Godkings that rushed into the sky, flying towards Jian Chen fearlessly as they gave off powerful presences.

“Activate!”

At the same time, the thirty-six lords all became extremely stern. They roared out together and the Heaven’s Net Formation that was still a second from completion had been activated prematurely.

All of their faces rapidly paled. Blood even spurted from some of their mouths. Activating the Heaven’s Net Formation prematurely took quite a toll on them.

An extremely violent pulse of energy suddenly appeared from under the Darknight City. Large amounts of energy surged from the thirty-six spiritual veins hidden underground, forming thirty-six huge pillars of energy that rushed into the sky, fusing with the thirty-six lords. Every single lord seemed to be enveloped by one of these streaks of light, which made them seem like gods descending from heaven, possessing infinite might.

Afterwards, a huge barrier of energy rapidly expanded through the sky from the thirty-six lords, encapsulating the entire city.

Wherever the barrier enveloped, the space seemed to freeze, while the abundant origin energy seized up as well.

The barrier of energy possessed a special power. It could freeze whatever it passed by.

Jian Chen recognised the strength of the barrier with a single glance. It was so powerful that even First Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes would struggle to smash through it. Moreover, he knew that the barrier was just the beginning to the Heaven’s Net Formation. As the Heaven’s Net Formation continued to operate, even more powerful killing formations would appear.

This formation could do much more than trap First Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes. It could kill them as well!

The barrier of energy expanded and descended extremely quickly, enveloping the entire city. Jian Chen was making his way out of the city right now, but he was still within the city.

And, many Godkings of the Darkstar race had appeared in his path to stop him.

However, after breaking through, even the one hundred and eight kings struggled to endure a single strike from him, let alone regular Godkings.

He swung his axe furiously and knocked away many Godkings. Many high quality saint artifacts were destroyed by a swing of his axe, scattered as fragments. Battle cries filled the air.

Xue Sha had gathered all the Godkings in the city to stop Jian Chen, but he still failed to slow Jian Chen down. As a matter of fact, he failed to slow his steps even in the slightest.

The difference in strength was just too great。

“Faster, faster!” Bai Jin could not help but panic as he watched Jian Chen get closer and closer to leaving the city. He yelled at the thirty-six lords in the formation.

The thirty-six lords were in a state of urgency as well. However, they were in the Heaven’s Net Formation, so they were immobilised. All they could do was remain where they were and control the formation, so the barrier could fall a little faster.

However, all of their efforts were bound to be wasted, because they were not up against a true late Godking, but a Primordial realm expert who had been hiding his strength the entire time!

Jian Chen moved faster and faster. Just as the barrier of energy was about to lock down the entire city, his speed suddenly erupted. His burly body cut through the air with a series of booms, shooting through the sky like a bolt of lightning. He basically brushed past the barrier when he rushed out of the city.

Bai Jin was filled with regret. He was so close, so close to stopping the outsider. However, now that it had developed like this, there was nothing he could do, because the Heaven’s Net Formation could only be used within the city. It required the spiritual veins deep underground to maintain its operation.

“Pursue him!” Bai Jin ordered as he grit his teeth, leading the remaining kings to hunt down Jian Chen.

Behind, the thirty-six lords were filled with pity and regret as well. They dispersed the formation helplessly and followed Bai Jin in the pursuit.

Xue Sha and the other vice city lords did not just stand around either. They mobilised the Godkings in the city, personally leading them in pursuit.

Immediately, swathes of Godkings left the Darknight City, amounting to seventy to eighty percent of the total. As a result, the strength of the Darknight City experienced an unprecedented low.

Many cultivators in the city were stunned by this sight. They watched the black swathe of people glide through the air. The cultivators were left in a state of shock.

After leaving the Darknight City, Jian Chen shot off with lightning speed, flying towards the Two World Mountain. Bai Jin’s Space Ring had already ended up in his hands.

However, when he sent the senses of his soul into the Space Ring and discovered Sacredfeather’s droplet of essence blood that was contaminated by the presence of the Darkstar race, his expression became as cold as ice.

He looked back at the people in pursuit and heavy killing intent filled his eyes. He thought, “You’re even going to follow me? Fantastic, just what I wanted. Once we enter the Two World Mountains, it will be time for you to die.”
