Chapter 2863: A Pursuit of Great Lengths (1/2)

Only now did he jerk to his senses and notice that his killing intent towards the outsider had actually become so urgent, rising to a level where he was restless. This was not simply because of the crimes that the outsider had committed by disrupting the great ceremony.

The Darkstar Emperor gained a deep understanding over how difficult of an opponent the outsider was and how difficult he was to kill through their battle. He was clearly nowhere near as strong as him, yet he could last such a long time in a battle against him.

Apart from that, he also possessed some strange secret techniques. Not only could he destroy his God Tier Battle Skills, reducing the God Tier Battle Skills he had spent eons comprehending to nothing, but he also possessed some kind of sword Qi that could directly ignore all of his protective measures and appear within his body.

Every single technique and method possessed mysterious power. Now that they all gathered on a single person, it directly made the outsider so frightening that even the Darkstar Emperor felt alarmed, giving him a sense of unprecedented threat.

“Fortunately, he still ended up dying.” The Darkstar Emperor exhaled deeply. However, he soon remembered Jian Chen’s undying special characteristic and immediately lost confidence. During the battle, there had been several times when Jian Chen sustained unimaginable damage, where even his skull was broken. He had once received several wounds that the Darkstar Emperor believed would surely take his life.

Yet, what happened in the end?

In the end, he reappeared right in front of him before long. His life force was far too tenacious, basically miraculous.

As he thought about that, the Darkstar Emperor who had let out a sigh of relief suddenly lost all of his confidence again, while his heart that had settled down leapt into his throat once more. Afterwards, without the slightest hesitation, he turned into a blur and shot off in the direction of the medicinal garden at full speed.

By now, the medicinal garden that spanned a hundred kilometers across had already become a great, pitch-black, bottomless pit. The Darkstar Emperor had awakened the seal’s former might through the price of a droplet of his essence blood, making the seal stretch a hundred kilometers across and envelop the entire medicinal garden to launch an indiscriminate attack.

Looking at it now, the medicinal garden of the past no longer existed. Not even a trace remained behind in the end. The seal had mercilessly buried it all into the bottomless pit.

“He has already taken the Fruit of Nurturing Ways. If he manages to escape successfully this time and then use the Fruit of Nurturing Ways to increase his strength and oppose our race, the consequences will be unthinkable. I can no longer sense his presence underground. Has he already died?” the Darkstar Emperor thought. Right now, he was stern, and his nerves were tense as if he was confronting a powerful enemy. He dared not be careless at all. He had also expanded the senses of his soul as much as possible, carrying out a fine search over the ground below and the depths underground, sweeping past again and again.

But at this moment, soil suddenly flung into the air over a hundred kilometers away. A figure covered in blood rushed out of the ground, moving extremely quickly and rising to an altitude of a thousand meters in the blink of an eye.

“He’s actually still alive!” The Darkstar Emperor panicked inside. Seeing the presence-less figure that even the senses of his soul could not detect, he immediately began grinding his teeth.

With a wave of his hand, the seal that had sunken into the depths of the earth immediately flew out. The Darkstar Emperor could no longer care about his consumption of essence blood. He ignited his essence blood once again to use the secret technique and awaken the past might of the seal.

In the next moment, the seal rushed over, arriving above Jian Chen’s head instantly while exerting tremendous pressure.

But this time, the seal was a step too late. The Laws of Space pulsed around Jian Chen, and he had already left, making the seal miss.
