Chapter 2683: Within the World of the Fallen Beast

Jian Chen looked at the several hundred thousand cultivators below the age of a thousand within the crowd. He could not help but shake his head secretly. Clearly, he did not place any high hopes on them.

“If the sacrificial soldiers raised through Hundred Tribulations Godking Pills are ignored, less than a hundredth of the people here are actual Godkings. Before the Darkstar race that rules over the World of the Fallen Beast, they’re no different from ants,” thought Jian Chen. Although he had yet to enter the World of the Fallen Beast, the Heartless Child’s information allowed him to roughly understand the situation there.

As a matter of fact, the Darkstar Emperor alone was enough to easily slaughter everyone, let alone the other unaccounted for factors.

The Darkstar Emperor was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime with supreme talent. His battle prowess was great enough to rival Chaotic Primes.

Before such an expert, even Jian Chen did not feel completely confident about victory, let alone Godkings.

“It seems like it won’t be easy to save Sacredfeather this time. The other experts of the Darkstar race aren’t really a problem. It’s just that I have no confidence against the Darkstar Emperor.” Jian Chen did not feel particularly optimistic.

He could not bring any god artifacts or treasures on par with the God Tier into the World of the Fallen Beast. Without the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways, his battle prowess would decrease.

With the Darkstar Emperor’s battle prowess, it would be a difficult battle even in his peak condition, let alone his current weakened state. The difference between their strength had only grown wider.

Just as Jian Chen pondered about all this, the young master of the Dire Wolf clan, Jin Hong, appeared. He wore grey robes and kept his presence completely concealed. He followed the Grand Prime of the Dire Wolf clan quietly. He seemed to be maintaining a very low profile.

However, no matter how well he hid himself, he still could not avoid the fate of being the centre of attention here. No one paid attention to the Grand Prime of the Dire Wolf clan. Instead, all of the cultivators present were fixated on him.

He simply stood out too much as the successor of a Grand Exalt. In the eyes of some, such a status was even greater than a Grand Prime’s.

Grand Primes stood at the apex and were rarely seen by regular cultivators, but every single peak organisation in the Saints’ World would have one or more. As a result, they were not exactly special.

On the other hand, the number of Grand Exalt successors could be counted on ten fingers. They were basically mythical.

As a result, Jin Hong was as dazzling as the midday sun just by standing there.

Jin Hong’s appearance also meant that all the organisations taking part in the expedition this time had arrived. The many organisations began to enter the World of the Fallen Beast in an orderly fashion.

Very soon, it was the Heavenly Crane clan’s turn. The several hundred sacrificial soldiers and several thousand recruited cultivators all vanished into the tunnel under He Qianqian’s lead.

As soon as he entered the tunnel, Jian Chen felt a power so terrifying that it irresistibly restricted his movements. This power was just too vast, just too terrifying. It was no longer possible to tell whether it belonged to the Grand Exalt of the Darkstar race or the Wood Spirits, or the World of the Fallen Beast itself.

Wrapped by the power, Jian Chen felt like he crossed through a distant space and time. He lost all senses over the flow of time, so he had no idea how much time had past. It seemed like a few days, but it also felt like a few years. In the end, the power around him trembled, and he had appeared in a gloomy world.

He looked around and discovered that he was standing in a forested region. Above him was the exit to the World of the Fallen Beast. It seemed exactly the same as the entrance above Darkstar City. It was also an extremely large energy vortex.

Jian Chen could not see any celestial bodies within the gloomy world. However, he saw a huge barrier that stood a hundred kilometres away.

The barrier enveloped the exit as a hemisphere; it acted as a powerful defence. There was a thick, grey mist outside. He could vaguely make out mountains.

Jian Chen had already expanded the senses of his soul silently. Since it was the senses from a Primordial realm expert, coupled with his concealment, no one present discovered it.

However, when the senses of his soul came into contact with the barrier, it was blocked.

“This barrier was cast down by a Primordial realm expert. Although I can force the senses of my soul through it, doing so would definitely create quite the disturbance,” thought Jian Chen. According to his knowledge, only the people of the Darkstar race could cast down such a powerful barrier here.

Jian Chen’s surroundings became packed very soon. The presences of Godhood experts merged together, forming something akin to an ocean. It was tremendous.

Everyone taking part in the expedition had gathered here. The sacrificial soldiers and many cultivators all stood in their own smaller groups.

“All gather! don’t wander about.”

……

…

At this moment, several loud shouts rang out. The leaders of each organisation ordered their people; these leaders included He Qianqian.

“People of the Heavenly Crane clan, enter the divine hall. I’ll be taking you to Hundred Saint City via a teleportation formation.” A divine hall appeared in He Qianqian’s hands.

The divine hall was not a god artifact but a supreme quality saint artifact. However, it was extremely close to being a low quality god artifact. It could even be described as a quasi god artifact.

At the same time, the leaders of the other organisations also took out supreme quality saint artifacts to take away their people.

The teleportation formation they would be taking had limited capacity. It could not transport as many people as the tunnel into the World of the Fallen Beast. Hence, they had to minimize the people outside if they wanted to reach Hundred Saint City quickly.

The large scale teleportation formation there originally shone with dazzling light and pulsed with power. However, just when everyone was about to enter the divine halls, it rapidly dimmed. Very soon, it fell silent completely. It was without any energy at all.

The sudden changes with the teleportation formation made all the leaders frown. Immediately, they sent people to investigate.

“Oh no, the connection has been broken. There’s nothing wrong with the teleportation formation here. It must be the one in Hundred Saint City,” the investigating person said with an ugly frown.

“Something must have happened to Hundred Saint City. Young master Jin Hong, I would advise you to change the teleportation destination immediately to an alternative,” a leader suggested to Jin Hong.

All the leaders had been told to obey Jin Hong with regard to everything during the expedition in the World of the Fallen Beast this time. As a result, they would all ask for Jin Hong’s opinion if they wanted to do anything major.

Jin Hong nodded, agreeing to the suggestion.

Very soon, the teleportation formation was adjusted and set to another destination.

However, the faces of the people responsible for adjusting the formation all sank completely.

“There’s bad news. The other teleportation formation is not responding either. It’s the same problem,” someone reported.

With that, everyone’s faces became warped.

“We have a few other alternatives. Let’s adjust the destination again…”

……

…

The teleportation formation was adjusted several times, but the end result was chilling. They discovered that all the teleportation formations in the World of the Fallen Beast, no matter how well hidden they were, had suffered problems. They could not teleport to those places.

The teleportation formations had to be connected on both ends to function. Once something happened to one end, it would cease to function, so teleportation obviously became impossible.

“God dammit, it must be the Darkstar race. Apart from the one in Hundred Saint City, the teleportation formations we’ve cast down are all extremely obscure. Only the Darkstar race has the ability to sniff them all out in the World of the Fallen Beast…”

“It’s troublesome now. How will we go to Hundred Saint City without a teleportation formation? Do we have cross through the Twin World Mountains?”

As soon as the Two World Mountains were mentioned, many of the leaders fell silent. They became very solemn. Some of them even paled in fright.
