Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2733: Venturing to the Capital City

All of the Godkings fled frantically. They used everything they had to erupt with their full speed through various secret techniques. They were utterly terrified.

The roars of beasts in the distance grew clearer and clearer. It formed a single stretch around them and was rang out with no end, shaking up the ground. Many Life-devouring Beasts were currently approaching them, making the ground tremble more and more violently.

Jian Chen did not travel far. He sat down on the top of a huge tree several dozen kilometers away. His gaze was cold as he observed the Godkings emotionlessly.

The depths of the Two World Mountains were filled with danger to others, but to him, he could move about however he wished. The only issue was the lack of a sense of direction, making it very easy to get lost in there and preventing him from finding his way out.

He had expanded the senses of his soul a long time ago. Under his senses, he could clearly see countless Life-devouring Beasts forming a huge encirclement, closing upon the Godkings of the Darkstar race with countless rings.

The size of the herd that these Life-devouring Beasts had formed was so large that it even surprised Jian Chen, someone who had remained in the depths for several months and had seen herds of all different sizes and shapes.

The largest herds he had seen before only amounted to several tens of thousand, while just the Life-devouring Beasts in the range of his senses right now had reached a million. Who knew just how many more Life-devouring Beasts were gathering over here beyond the range of his senses.

With everything he was seeing, Jian Chen actually developed a feeling that Bai Jin’s group had already attracted over all the Life-devouring Beasts in the Two World Mountains.

They were like a lantern in the dark. No matter how distant the Life-devouring Beasts were, they could all discover their existence.

"To think the grievances between the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirits and the Grand Exalt of the Darkstar race would be so deep. They’ve been dead for all this time, yet just the backup he left behind was still so hostile to the Darkstar race," thought Jian Chen. The Life-devouring Beasts were just too sensitive of the Darkstar race. A few Life-devouring Beasts beyond the range of his senses could accurately determine the location of these Godkings despite only being Gods. This made no sense at all, so it had to do with the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirits.

"Argh! Save me! Save me! My legs! My legs are gone!" Suddenly, a Godking who flew along the ground cried out frantically and in fear. His legs currently vanished at a visible rate. As it dissipated, it turned into pure life force that merged with the ground below.

There was no pain, no sensation at all. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would have never imagined his legs had already dissolved.

Some of the Godkings in the surroundings saw this and felt a chill run down their spines. Their fear intensified and they fled faster and faster.

As for the Godking who had lost his legs, the dissolution reached his waist very soon and continued upwards, reaching his chest, then neck and head.

In less than half a minute, a Godking had been vaporized. His entire body turned into life force that fused into the ground below. There was nothing he could do apart from crying out in fear.

He was not the only case. A total of several dozen Godkings had dissolved away completely.

There were also a fraction of the Godkings that actually sprouted with roots. In the end, they turned into a huge plant rooted down in the ground, no longer possessing any humanoid characteristics anymore.

Jian Chen sat on the top of the tree and witnessed all of these incidents. Towards the end, even he felt chills despite his mental fortitude.

Only now did he truly understand just how terrifying the Two World Mountains were. Its horrors mainly targeted people of the Darkstar race and was instead much more tolerant to other beings.

Of course, there was another phenomenon he discovered, which was that all the Godkings who had died were the weakest out of the group. The stronger they were, the more resistant they were to all of this.

However, as time went on, various things happened to the slightly stronger Godkings as well, but regardless of what happened, none of them managed to avoid death.

Bai Jin, the thirty-six lords and the one hundred and eight kings were at the very front. What received them was a blanket of Life-devouring Beasts. With their insignificant size, they were swallowed up by the wave of colossal Life-devouring Beasts very soon.

In the end, as the encirclement grew smaller and smaller, all of the Godkings there became trapped. After a desperate struggle, all of them died here in the end, including Bai Jin.

Compared to the outsiders, members of the Darkstar race would not leave behind any corpses when they died within the Two World Mountains. Even if they had not been eaten, they would assimilate into the ground, becoming nourishment to the ground.

After all the members of the Darkstar race had died, the Life-devouring Beasts gathered there lost their targets and all dispersed, returning to where they had come from.

Jian Chen watched it all unfold from the top of the tree. The senses of his soul locked onto each and every member of the Darkstar race. Only when he confirmed that all of them were dead did he stand up on the tree. He looked at the Space Ring with the droplet of essence blood and sank into his thoughts.

A while later, he made up his mind and he vanished. When he reappeared, he was already near the territory of a Primordial realm Life-devouring Beast.

He used the mask to hide his presence. He did not set foot in the territory of the Life-devouring Beast either. He opened his hand slowly and Bai Jin’s Space Ring rested in it quietly.

In the next moment, the space near his hand rippled slightly and the Space Ring immediately vanished.

A hundred kilometers away, a colossal Life-devouring Beast lay on the ground and snored away, giving off a tremendous presence. At this moment, the space ten kilometers away from it twisted slightly and a Space Ring appeared out of nowhere. It landed below a large tree silently.

The Life-devouring Beast seemed to sense something and raised its head to look around. It was in suspicion, but it failed to discover anything in the end, crouching back down and going back to sleep.

Jian Chen did not take the droplet of Sacredfeather’s essence blood with him, because the essence blood had already been contaminated with the presence of the Darkstar World. He could not be certain whether the experts of the Darkstar race could locate it using some secret technique, which was why he left it there.

He did not touch anything else in Bai Jin’s Space Ring either. The untouched Space Ring just lay beside the Primordial Realm Life-devouring Beast, so even if experts of the Darkstar race came here after finding it somehow, they would probably just think Bai Jin had died to the Life-devouring Beast.

Jian Chen left the Two World Mountains. Using the soul imprints he had left behind when he came here, he returned to the territory of the Darkstar race easily. Googlᴇ search ɴovelꜰɪre.ɴet

He could not use the identity of Gu Qi any longer. He changed his identity and entered another major city of the Darkstar race whilst maintaining an extremely low profile, using the teleportation formation and venturing to the capital city.

The ten divine halls and the imperial palace where the Darkstar Emperor resided were all in the capital city. He wanted to save Sacredfeather. All of the clues leading to Sacredfeather and any opportunities to save him would be in the capital city.
