Chapter 3191: Jin Hong Breaks Through

Jian Chen gained his bearings and strode through outer space. The powers of space pulsed around him. Space would ripple like water when each step fell, spreading outwards.

He was travelling with the Laws of Space of a Fourth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime. Even though he came nowhere close to the Heartless Child back then, he could still rival some regular Grand Primes. He even overtook multiple spaceships.

With his current strength, he could be regarded as an expert even in this endless expanse of space. There was an extremely small number of space beasts that posed a threat to him.

Jian Chen moved through outer space and passed through the tunnel guarded by the Sacred Lord of Guarding Energy without any obstruction, reaching the ruined Spirits’ World. Afterwards, he continued travelling through the Spirits’ World.

Five years later, Jian Chen finally arrived at one of the five remaining sacred lands of the Spirits’ World, the Darkstar Continent.

In the centre of the Darkstar Continent was Darkstar City that was named after the continent. The entrance to the World of the Fallen Beast was located in this city.

With a flash, Jian Chen had already arrived silently beneath the entrance to the World of the Fallen Beast.

Gazing at this huge, empty square, Jian Chen sighed inside.

He could recall how this square as well as the air above had been filled with people when he first entered the Darkstar World, as well as when he emerged from it. There were even multiple divine halls hovering in the air as the tremendous presences of Chaotic Primes wove together.

There were even Grand Primes here in person.

But right now, it was much more quiet compared to the bustling square where experts assembled back then. There was not a single Primordial realm expert in sight, just a series of scattered Godhood cultivators stationed here with nothing better to do.

The tunnel between the two worlds that had once welcomed all cultivators and had people moving through it at every moment had become extremely quiet now.

Nearby, Jian Chen spotted a familiar divine hall. It was snow-white in colour and gave off an icy-cold presence. There were life-like cranes carved into the divine hall.

The divine hall was the headquarters that the Heavenly Crane clan had set up in the Spirits’ World!

Gazing at the divine hall, Jian Chen immediately thought of He Qianqian. Back then, he had ventured into the World of the Fallen Beast with her.

But now, He Qianqian was no longer here.

“If I look at the time, she should be more than a thousand years old now. She can no longer enter the Darkstar World,” Jian Chen thought as he reminisced about the past.

After a moment, Jian Chen discarded all of these thoughts and prepared himself to enter the Darkstar World.

But at this moment, Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed with a smear of surprise. He actually sensed a familiar presence.

In the next moment, the senses of his soul tore through the air and shot off into the distance instantly.

At this very moment, many experts gathered within a courtyard inside Darkstar City, sitting seriously around a great round table.

All of them were Chaotic Primes, and they each represented a peak organisation from the Saints’ World.

There were two hundred Chaotic Primes gathered there right now.

That number also meant that there were representatives from over two hundred peak organisations of the Saints’ World gathered here.

“Our treasured prodigy, Jin Hong, has already reached the Primordial realm despite being less than a thousand years old. Together with a Grand Exalt’s legacy, his battle prowess is immeasurable. He’s also the only person that can cross the Two World Mountains and rebuild the teleportation formation. I am wondering what you think about the suggestion my clan has proposed,” a Chaotic Prime from the Dire Wolf clan smiled proudly and said calmly.

“Thirty percent of everything we obtain from the Darkstar race will go to the Dire Wolf clan. T-that’s just a little too much…” a Chaotic Prime said with difficulty.

The upheaval of the Darkstar World made them lose the Hundred Saint City, and the alliance that built the city had basically ceased to exist. Apart from the clans that were members of that alliance back then, there were many other peak organisations that had not joined the Hundred Saint City gathered here.

The Darkstar World possessed many precious resources that peak clans of the Saints’ World desperately needed. As such, these peak organisations had been constantly trying to come up with ideas to re-establish a connection with the Darkstar race.

Even though they had lost many clansmen to the Darkstar race, the lives of these clansmen were worthless before the intrinsic interests of the clan.

And the fact that the young master of the Dire Wolf clan, Jin Hong, had successfully broken through to the Primordial realm obviously allowed these organisations to see hope again.

Before they realised it, Jin Hong seemed to have become a second Jian Chen in their eyes. He had become a prodigy who could contend against the upper echelon of the Darkstar race.

“I thought Jin Hong had already turned a thousand and was no longer able to enter the Darkstar World anymore, but looking at the Dire Wolf clan, he’s clearly not a thousand years old yet…”

“Another Primordial realm cultivator under the age of a thousand. Sigh…” As soon as they thought of Jin Hong’s terrifying talent and growth rate, many of the older figures present immediately felt powerless.

“I think it’s still a little early to discuss how we split the profits right now. After all, after what happened last time, the Darkstar race must hate us people of the Saints’ World to the bone. No one knows whether they’ll still cooperate with us like before.” At this moment, He Qianchi of the Heavenly Crane clan spoke up.

“Hmph, your Heavenly Crane clan is still shameless enough to bring that up? If it wasn’t for the fact that your Heavenly Crane clan was blind and had brought a Primordial realm cultivator into the Darkstar World, our Hundred Saint City wouldn’t have ended up like this.” A great elder from a peak organisation spoke out against He Qianchi as soon as he said that. He was very rude.

While the other people gathered here said nothing, they all looked at He Qianchi with great hostility.

Clearly, many people blamed the Heavenly Crane clan for their losses in the Darkstar World.

There were even some organisations that had begun to resent the Heavenly Crane clan, but they could only hide their feelings due to certain reasons.

However, not only was He Qianchi unperturbed, but he even seemed complacent, crossing one leg over the other as he sneered. “That Primordial realm cultivator is Jian Chen of the Tian Yuan clan. If you want revenge, go and find the Tian Yuan clan. What’s the point of fuming against our Heavenly Crane clan?”

“You…” The Chaotic Prime who had spoken out against the Heavenly Crane clan was immediately left speechless. He was so furious that there was nothing he could say.

Find Jian Chen for revenge? They had obviously searched for him before, but it only made them shoot themselves in the foot in the end. Not only did they give away a great quantity of resources, but they even had to cover the tremendous costs of building teleportation formations after teleportation formations. They had bitten off far more than they could chew.

Now, whether it was Jian Chen or the Tian Yuan clan on the Cloud Plane, they had both become taboo to many of the organisations present. They were existences that they could not afford to provoke.

For no other reason than the fact that the vice clan leader of the Tian Yuan clan was the ninth majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng!
