Chapter 2711: Who’re the Ants?

Looking at the remains hovering before it, the eagle obviously knew what it was. Its eyes were filled with desire as it constantly opened and closed its large beak. It was drooling.

The remains of the Primordial realm Life-devouring Beast could do more than just increase it strength. Most importantly, it possessed the true essence of the Primordial realm. If it could absorb this true essence, although it might not break through to the next realm immediately, it would still set up a solid foundation for when it eventually did.

The remains were basically a gateway to the Primordial realm. It would allow it to get a glance of the world and mysteries of the Primordial realm. Although it might not guarantee a breakthrough, the existences that were most likely to break through out of all the Life-devouring Beast kings of the Two World Mountains were those who had gained a peep at the Primordial realm.

Life-devouring Beasts were not cultivators and were unlike the cultivators outside. They possessed their own cultivation methods and their own ways to break through.

The eagle stared at the remains that Jian Chen had tossed out. Despite its raging desires and temptations, it still seemed to be worried about something. At that moment, it actually did not devour the remains. Instead, it glanced at Jian Chen constantly in surprise and uncertainty.

Jian Chen could tell that the remains from the Primordial realm Life-devouring Beast was just too valuable. The eagle did not seem to believe that Jian Chen would be willing to give something like that to it, which it why it hesitated. It was as if it were afraid of understanding the situation incorrectly and invoking Jian Chen’s wrath by accidentally eating the remains.

Jian Chen broke into laughter from this sight. The eagle seemed to be a slightly more clever than he had imagined it to be since it had thought of all this.

“It’s a special reward for you. Just eat it. Don’t worry too much.” Jian Chen smiled gently. At the same time, a mental pulse entered the eagle’s head. It would be easier for the eagle to understand him that way.

Immediately, the eagle’s eyes lit up brightly, and it produced a joyous cry before swallowing the remains in a single gulp.

It was a Life-devouring Beast king, equivalent to a late Godking, but it had yet to reach the limits of the realm. These remains would allow it to reach the limits as quickly as possible.

If it took a step further than that, it would formally reach the Primordial realm and become the absolute ruler of this land.

Afterwards, Jian Chen’s figure vanished from the eagle’s back suddenly. This time, he was really leaving the eagle that had served as his mount for so long. Perhaps they would never meet again in the future.

“I do have some understanding of the World of the Fallen Beast, but that is only a rough overview at most. Now, with what has happened to Hundred Saint City, the situation in the World of the Fallen Beast will obviously be in a state of constant change as well. It looks like I need to find a cultivator who has been here for a long time to get a better understanding,” thought Jian Chen. He expanded the senses of his soul, using half to envelop the Two World Mountains and the other half to surround the region outside.

Within the range of several tens of million kilometres, he obviously discovered many cultivators. There were members of the Darkstar race from the World of the Fallen Beast, as well as cultivators of various clans from the outside world. However, basically all of them were locked in combat.

Some fought Life-devouring Beasts in an attempt to hunt them down for their remains, while others fought with the Darkstar race.

Basically all the people hunting Life-devouring Beasts were independent cultivators or small groups or organisations that had nothing to do with the peak clans that controlled the Hundred Saint City.

Without an exception, all the people who fought against the Darkstar race came from peak clans.

“Got it!” Jian Chen made up his mind and immediately vanished.

He did not protect the group anymore. He had already left the Two World Mountains, so he no longer needed them to show him the way.

Moreover, the group was currently close to leaving the mountains as well, and there were no more powerful Life-devouring Beasts nearby. The only Life-devouring Beasts around were much weaker, so they were not enough to pose a threat to the group.

“I’ll go check on the current situation of the World of the Fallen Beast first before finding He Qianqian to ask her about the Ice Goddess Hall,” thought Jian Chen. Through his Laws of Space, he quickly covered ground like he was teleporting. With a few flashes, he appeared a few million kilometres away.

This was still within the range of the Two World Mountains but only in the very outskirts. The mist here was extremely thin.

Of course, the mist here was ordinary mist. Absorbing any of it would not lead to any issues, unlike what had happened in the depths of the Two World Mountains.

Jian Chen hovered in the air and took out a mask from his Space Ring then put it on.

After wearing the mask, his entire presence immediately underwent an overwhelming change. That was not all. Even his body and appearance became foreign.

This mask was the one Mo Tianyun had given to him in the past.

The mask was extraordinary. After wearing it, it could completely change the presence and appearance of a person such that even Grand Primes would struggle to see through it. Only supreme experts who had reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Grand Prime would possess the necessary ability.

Moreover, it did not give off any pressure or pulses of energy like a god artifact, so when Jian Chen passed through the entrance of the World of the Fallen Beast with it, it was not recognised as a god artifact, allowing Jian Chen to smoothly access the world while carrying it.

Through the mask, Jian Chen had become a brutal middle-aged man. There was a slash across his forehead that seemed to originate from the claws of Life-devouring Beasts, which also made him look rather vicious. In particular, weaker cultivators would not even be willing to meet his sharp and bloodthirsty gaze.

After changing his appearance, Jian Chen flew towards the Hundred Saint City at a steady pace.

When he had traveled a hundred kilometres, the intense sounds of fighting rang out from up ahead.

Over a dozen people from the Darkstar race were currently pursuing several cultivators who wore similar uniforms. These cultivators were clearly from a peak clan from the Saints’ World, but currently, they were all riddled with wounds and covered with blood. They were injured.

There were only eight of them, consisting of two early Godkings and six Overgods.

On the other hand, the Darkstar race had a total of five Godkings, with the rest being late Overgods. They had around twice as many people.

The eight people faced the attacks of the Darkstar race as they fled into the depths of the Two World Mountains.

The land beyond the Two World Mountains belonged to the Darkstar race. In other words, the Darkstar race controlled all the land aside from the Two World Mountains in the World of the Fallen Beast. The only way for the cultivators to survive was to enter the depths of the Two World Mountains.

Although the depths were also filled with danger, it offered them a chance of survival at the very least. It was better than staying outside, a place where death was certain.

However, in their current state, it would clearly be difficult for them to flee into the depths.

“Does the sixth hall master really plan on killing us all? Your actions will only anger the clan behind us. Do you know just how much power our clan possesses in the Saints’ World? Even Grand Primes will die if they offend our clan. Your mere Darkstar race doesn’t even have a Chaotic Prime. You’re just digging your own graves like this.” One of the Godkings bellowed out furiously. His cultivation method was extraordinary, and his battle skills were extremely powerful as well. Additionally, he had countless secret techniques. He blocked the attacks from three of the Godkings of the Darkstar race.

This was a genius raised by the peak clans of the Saints’ World. Even though their battle prowess was not as great as the supreme Godkings on the Godkings’ Throne, they were still the experts among the experts of their level.

Many of the prodigies from the large group, such as He Qianqian of the Heavenly Crane clan, Ping Yisheng of the Empirelotus Sword sect, Sun Zhi of the Sun family, Guang Wanhua of the Sacrlet Light clan, and so on, were only stronger than this Godking. However, their brilliance was obscured when they faced the Life-devouring Beasts.

“Haha, you better stop trying to scare us with your Saints’ World background. If your Grand Primes are so capable, why don’t you tell them to come to the Darkstar World to avenge you…”

“If you have Grand Exalts in your organisation, our entire race would treat you as valued guests. Let alone the ten great hall masters, even our great Darkstar Emperor would personally receive you. Unfortunately, you don’t have Grand Exalts. Since you don’t have Grand Exalts, we don’t fear you…”

“Don’t blame us. Killing you all was the seventh hall master’s idea. We’re just carrying out his command…”

“During the next millennium, the entire Darkstar race will be managed by the seventh hall master. Who told your foreign organisations to offend our seventh hall master…”

The Godking experts of the Darkstar race sneered in response. Clearly, they did not take these foreign organisations seriously at all from their scornful gazes.

They understand that no foreign organisation could threaten the Darkstar race in the Darkstar World because anyone who entered here could not be more than a thousand years old.

What level of cultivation would they reach in a single millennium? No matter how monstrous a prodigy was, they would basically remain at Godking. Even if they did break through to the Primordial realm, they still would not catch the eyes of the Darkstar race.

The Darkstar race had more than a single Primordial realm expert. The ten hall masters were all Primordial realm experts, and there was the Darkstar Emperor who had reached peak Infinite Prime as well.

Only organisations with Grand Exalts would truly strike fear into the Darkstar race. They would be afraid of offending them and would instead attempt to get on their good side.

Grand Exalts were enough to break through the wills and seals left behind in the past by the Grand Exalts of the Wood Spirits and the Darkstar Race. They could use their supreme might to destroy the prison and let the Darkstar race out.

“Do you outsiders really think that you can act as you wish in the Darkstar World with just a Hundred Saint City? I’ll tell you the truth. In our clan’s eyes, you outsiders are just a bunch of ants. If we’re in a bad mood, we can crush you however we want to. If it weren’t for the resources you brought in from the outside world, why would we let a bunch of ants contaminate our sacred land?” The last Godking of the Darkstar race said, further adding naked insults.

“Hmm? We outsiders are just a bunch of ants that you can crush whenever you want to? Who’s bold enough to say that?” At this moment, a heavy voice suddenly rang out from the depths of the mist.

With that, a man in animal hides emerged from the mist. He hovered at a low altitude and arrived between the two groups very soon.

He was a large, middle-aged man. He did not carry a weapon, and there was a vicious wound on his face. He gave off a heavy presence.

He was Jian Chen.

Jian Chen landed on the ground. He studied the five Godkings of the Darkstar race with a glance and said with a harsh voice, “Who said we were ants earlier? How dare you look down on us outsiders like this? Was it you? You? Or you?” As he said that, Jian Chen pointed at the five Godkings of the Darkstar race one by one. He was provoking them.
