Chapter 560: The Son of the Stars

Abreu lowered his conch shell. With a grim expression, he looked at Tago and Stonemountain and said, “My brother told us to get over to his location.”

The whole crowd of outsiders around him looked deeply surprised. Apparently, none of them had expected that Armes would summon them.

Eyebrows furrowed, the Birdmen’s female leader said, “Lord Armes told us specifically not to interrupt his battle with that human before he left. Can it be that Lord Armes has failed to kill that man during the past few days?”

“That’s not possible!” Tago, the Demon leader, said with a deep frown. “Lord Armes is more powerful than all of us combined! I suspect that Lord Armes is having trouble locating that man, and he wants us to go help him find him.”

“Actually... according to my brother, that man is a successor of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.” Abreu’s words resonated over the silent crowd.

After a moment of silence, a clamor suddenly burst out among the crowd of outsiders.

“Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace!?”

“He’s a successor of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace!?”

“Didn’t those humans come from the Domain of the Falling Stars? The Domain of the Falling Stars has long since been abandoned by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace. Why on earth would they take in someone from there?”

At that moment, Tago snapped out of his daze and asked, “Do you not remember that the three spatial rifts that lead to the Domain of the Falling Stars have been recently resealed? If it weren’t for the legacies the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace left in the Domain of the Falling Stars, how would those humans have sealed those spatial rifts?”

Stonemountain also seemed deeply shaken as he chimed in, “Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace! That’s the humans’ oldest and most powerful sect. Its profound influence stretches to almost every corner of the boundless starry river. They and a few other ancient sects were the reason for the rise of humans hundreds of thousands of years ago!

“Every successor of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace possesses terrifying strength. No wonder Lord Armes has failed to kill him over the past few days.”

The Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace was known throughout the starry river. Millions of outsiders were awed upon hearing its name.

Those who knew its name must have heard about its profound power.

Bitterness filled the corner of Abreu’s mouth as he said, “But he’s not an ordinary successor of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace. If he was, as powerful and proud as my brother is, he wouldn’t have attached so much importance to him to ask for our assistance.”

“You mean...” Tago said, disbelief filling his eyes.

“He’s one of the chosen,” Abreu said with a heavy tone.

It seemed that almost every outsider in the crowd knew very well what a Son of the Stars meant, and was rather sensitive about it. Another clamor burst out among them.

“What?! He’s a Son of the Stars?!”

“How is that possible?! Why on earth would they choose a Son of the Stars from the Domain of the Falling Stars? Plus, every Son of the Stars chosen by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace possesses unlimited resources. Every one of them is revered throughout the starry river, and has dozens of domains to their name!”

“Even the weakest domain they own must be stronger than the Domain of the Falling Stars!”

“The Domain of the Falling Stars was just one of our many rangelands! We used it to breed spirit beasts and low-tier Demons. It had very limited resources and energy of heaven and earth!”

“Only small clans like ours would think of taking such a place where birds don’t even lay eggs. (Idiom: remote and desolate place) None of the truly powerful clans would even consider it worth owning!”

“Why would a Son of the Stars appear in a place that can’t even produce a single Void Domain expert?!”

Ever since of the establishment of their clans, their ancestors had been fighting human Qi warriors in different regions of the starry river.

However, the Qi warrior forces they had contended against were only second-rate or even third-rate Qi warrior sects.

They could only look up to the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, which was so powerful that they had brought the entire human race up to the ranks of the most powerful races throughout the starry river, and wouldn’t fear challenges from any race.

Each and every Son of the Stars chosen by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had numerous domains and realms to their name, and had countless powerful experts that took commands from them.

Any of the Sons of the Stars would be able to take out their clans, root and stem, if they wanted to.
