Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3229: Departure

“The Heavenly Crane clan? You mean the Heavenly Crane clan that was originally part of the Hundred Saint City?” The Darkstar Emperor’s eyes twinkled when he heard that. He immediately stared at Jian Chen with interest. “Don’t tell me you’re from the Heavenly Crane clan?”

“I’m not from the Heavenly Crane clan, but I am indebted to one of their ancestors. I promised her in the past that I would do my best to establish trade between the Heavenly Crane clan and the Darkstar race, as the Darkstar World has resources that are extremely important to them,” said Jian Chen.

“Is having us trade with the Heavenly Crane clan a condition you are putting forward on my race?” the Darkstar Emperor said in an unfazed manner.

Jian Chen shook his head. “No, it’s not a condition. Whether you trade with the Heavenly Crane clan or not will not affect the promise and agreement between me and your clan.”

“I’m just doing everything within my ability to help out the Heavenly Crane clan as much as possible. Regardless of the final outcome, I’ve basically completed my promise to the Heavenly Crane clan,” Jian Chen said indifferently. He left the decision up to the Darkstar Emperor without any threats or attempts at coercion.

After a moment of silence, the Darkstar Emperor said, “As long as you can guarantee that the outside world can deliver the resources that we need, it makes no difference whether we work with one organisation or countless organisations. All we might get is some mild benefits from the competition between the organisations of the Saints’ World.”

The Darkstar Emperor paused before looking at Jian Chen sternly. He said, “I’ve already placed all our hopes of breaking free on you. Your importance to our race surpases all other interests. As a result, as long as it’s within the ability of our Darkstar race, we’ll do our best to satisfy any request of yours.”

“If you really do hope for the Heavenly Crane clan to become the only partner we trade with, I can guarantee you that too. As long as the Heavenly Crane clan provides us with the resources we need, we’ll only trade with them.”

“Thanks!” Jian Chen clasped his fist sternly before taking out over a dozen Comprehension Tea leaves and some Xuanhuang spiritual fluid from his Space Ring. “Before I leave, I need to give you this tea. It might not be of any help to your strength, but it still makes a fantastic beverage.”

The Comprehension Tea was all of the fifth grade of God Tier.

The Darkstar Emperor accepted it with a smile before leaving the Darkstar Divine Hall with Jian Chen. After concealing his presence, they entered the Two World Mountains together.

In the depths of the Two World Mountains, Jian Chen and the Darkstar Emperor travelled side by side. They flashed with each step, hurrying towards the centre of the Two World Mountains where the barrier stood with extremely great speed.

Along the way, Jian Chen’s expression changed. Soon afterwards, he extended his finger and pointed around a few times. The space before him immediately twisted violently, and in the next moment, a colossal Life-devouring Beast silently appeared before the two of them.

The Life-devouring Beast was clearly asleep. Its eyes were firmly shut, and its snoring was thunderous. The presence it gave off had already reached Infinite Prime.

Suddenly, the Life-devouring Beast’s snoring halted as if it had sensed something. It snapped open its eyes and immediately saw Jian Chen and the Darkstar Emperor.

It blanked out at first. Its turbid eyes were slightly confused, but in the next moment, its presence swelled up. Instinctively, it let out a roar.

However, before it could unleash the roar, the space around it suddenly froze. The Life-devouring Beast immediately came to a standstill.

Jian Chen swept his finger over the Life-devouring Beast gently, and the powers of space pulsed. The colossal Primordial realm Life-devouring Beast suddenly vanished.

It had already been stowed away in the soul space that Jian Chen had opened up recently. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelenglish.net . (ꜰ)ire.ɴet

“These Life-devouring Beasts are good stuff. Every inch of their flesh contains a tremendous amount of vitality. If I refine certain kinds of God Tier pills, I can strengthen their effects if I add a little bit of Life-devouring Beast remains.”

“Darkstar Emperor, you’re not going to mind if I take some Primordial realm Life-devouring Beasts away with me when I leave, are you?” Jian Chen smiled faintly at the Darkstar Emperor.

“The Life-devouring Beasts have all been created by the power of the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirits. It’s a method to restrain our Darkstar race, so what you do with them has nothing to do with us,” the Darkstar Emperor said calmly.

He concealed his presence carefully and continued, “The strength of the Two World Mountains has always maintained a balance with our Darkstar race. Even if you kill all the Life-devouring Beasts in the Two World mountains, it’ll just turn back to how it was before very quickly under the effects of the power and laws of the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirits.

“The Life-devouring Beasts of the Two World Mountains cannot be rendered extinct. Though, I’d still advise you against being too greedy. They are something left behind by the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirits after all. Since they’ve been left here, they obviously serve a function. If you wreak too much destruction on them, even I don’t know what kind of terrifying and severe consequences you’ll cause.”

When he heard that, Jian Chen immediately became cautious. “I’m just taking two or three with me. It shouldn’t lead to any problems.”

Afterwards, Jian Chen captured another two Infinite Prime Life-devouring Beasts and stored them in his soul space. By now, there were already three of them in there.

Jian Chen stopped there after three, refusing to capture any more. He was afraid that some terrifying consequence would occur as the Darkstar Emperor had described.

Very soon, Jian Chen and the Darkstar Emperor arrived at the barrier’s location. Jian Chen passed through without any worries at all, arriving before Jin Hong.

The Darkstar Emperor stood outside the barrier, staring coldly at Jin Hong.

“Brother Jin Hong, it’s time for us to leave.” Jian Chen roused Jin Hong who was submerged in cultivation.

Jin Hong heard him and opened his eyes slowly. Even though there was still some time left from the deadline of five centuries that the Darkstar race had given to him, Jin Hong understood extremely well that he could not make Jian Chen stay longer just for him.

Since Jian Chen had already decided to leave, he had to go as well no matter how many years were remaining.

For a moment, Jin Hong actually felt a hint of reluctance, as many God Tier heavenly resources had been sent in here from the outside world, allowing his strength to skyrocket. If the circumstances permitted him, he really did want to stay here until he reached Chaotic Prime.

“Hold on. I need to verify that that is indeed him and not a fake before he leaves.” The Darkstar Emperor said, “I’ve come here specially for Jin Hong. Not only do I want to see him leave here with my own eyes, I want to personally check that it is him too, just in case they leave behind a substitute, a clone, to create a false impression, while the actual person is hiding somewhere else.”

“You should go, Jin Hong. The Darkstar Emperor is a man of his word. He’ll never issue a fake promise,” Jian Chen said to the hesitating Jin Hong.

Jin Hong nodded before directly stepping out of the barrier and appearing before the Darkstar Emperor.

The Darkstar Emperor immediately pressed down on Jin Hong’s shoulder and carried out a close search. In the end, he nodded, and his tense expression eased up slightly. “Alright, you can go.”

Afterwards, Jian Chen captured Jin Hong, basically tying him up. He brought Jin Hong into the tunnel between the worlds with him by force, formally leaving the Darkstar World.

With their departure, they would never be able to enter the Darkstar World again, as both of them were more than a thousand years old now. They could no longer pass through the tunnel again.

Unless the Darkstar World was truly freed, this farewell was forever!
