Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2658: The Darkstar Race

“Senior, what strength does the Darkstar race possess?” Jian Chen asked grimly. Sacredfeather had been captured and was in constant danger. This made Jian Chen very worried.

At the same time, he thought through all the experts that he knew. He pondered about how he could save Sacredfeather.

However, there was one irrefutable fact. Regardless of the price, he would save Sacredfeather.

“Regarding the strength of the Darkstar race…” The Heartless Child looked at Jian Chen mysteriously. In particular, when he saw how grim Jian Chen was, he could not help but smile for some reason. “I had no interest in learning their exact strength, but I do know about their greatest expert. He’s actually also the Darkstar Emperor who rules the Darkstar race. He’s a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime right now.”

“What?” Jian Chen was stunned. He began to doubt his ears when he heard the strength of their strongest expert, the Darkstar Emperor.

“Senior, are you certain that their strongest member is a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime?” Jian Chen asked in disbelief.

“Do you feel very surprised? Experts in the Saints’ World are plentiful. Who knows how many Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes there are. If the Darkstar race was placed on the Cloud Plane, they wouldn’t even be as great as the Blood Sun Empire, so how would they be able to rule over the World of the Fallen Beast?” The Heartless Child looked at Jian Chen with a faint smile.

“It is rather surprising,” replied Jian Chen. The pressure he felt decreased drastically after he got to know the Darkstar race.

If the Darkstar race possessed a supreme expert, saving Sacredfeather might have been difficult.

However, if it were just a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime, there was no need for Jian Chen to worry as much.

Of course, he knew that the Darkstar race would definitely be far more complicated than they seemed. How else could they raise the attention of an expert like the Heartless Child with that much strength.

“Don’t treat the Darkstar race as an easy target. Sure, their strongest expert is only a Ninth Heavenly Layer, but there’s almost no one who can save people from them across the Saints’ World,” said the Heartless Child.

Although Jian Chen was surprised by this, he was not too taken aback. He requested, “Senior, please elaborate.”

“The reason is very simple. There’s a condition to entering the World of the Fallen Beast, and that is a limit of a thousand years old. If people older than that want to enter the World of the Fallen Beast, they will face attacks from the world. The ancient beast that the world was created from was just too powerful when it was still alive. Even many Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes would not be its opponent. Even though it’s dead now, the World of the Fallen Beast has perfectly inherited its power. There aren’t a lot of people who can endure the attacks in the current Saints’ World.”

“Moreover, that is only the first of many dangers. The most terrifying danger comes later…” As if it were a taboo topic, the Heartless Child did not go into too much detail. “Anyway, even some Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes are unwilling to intrude upon the World of the Fallen Beast. The only way in is by following its rules.”

“A thousand years… a thousand years… Just how many people can break through to Infinite Prime in a thousand years? As a result, even though the Darkstar Emperor is only a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime, no one aside from Grand Exalts can threaten them given the protection of the rules of that world.”

“Moreover, even if there are supreme prodigies who break through to the Primordial realm in a thousand years, they definitely won’t be the Darkstar Emperor’s opponent. The Darkstar Emperor is also a supreme prodigy, possessing monstrous talent and an impressive legacy. His battle prowess has already surpassed the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Infinite Prime, reaching the level of Chaotic Primes.”

“As a result, ever since the Darkstar race went against the ways and changed their fate, no one who could enter the World of the Fallen Beast would be the Darkstar Emperor’s opponent.”

“Went against the ways and changed their fate? Senior, may I ask what you mean by that?” Jian Chen asked in confusion.

The Heartless Child clearly intended to let Jian Chen learn a little more about the Darkstar race, so he did not hold back regarding Jian Chen’s questions. “This goes back to a very long time ago. A long time ago, the Darkstar race had also been a supreme race in the Spirits’ World. A sovereign had appeared for them during their most glorious times. It was also because of the sovereign that the Darkstar race enjoyed unprecedented prosperity, becoming one of the existences that no one dared to provoke in the Spirits’ World.”

The Heartless Child’s voice was filled with amazement, as if he felt some admiration towards the strength of the Darkstar race back then. Especially when he mentioned ‘sovereign’, undisguised yearning, eagerness, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.

The so-called sovereign was naturally a Grand Exalt, as only Grand Exalts who had comprehended a way to the limit and truly grasped it entirely were worthy of that title.

“However, no matter how glorious a race is, there will be a day when they decline. Even sovereigns will have a day where they die. Afterwards, the sovereign from the Darkstar race died, and their prosperity came to an end. Without a sovereign, the Wood Spirits that had always opposed the Darkstar race finally took action.”

“The Wood Spirits were also a supreme organisation in the Spirits’ World. They were not weaker than the Darkstar race when they were at their prime. They also possessed a sovereign, except when the sovereign of the Darkstar race existed, they were equally matched, so there had not been any major conflicts between the two races. No one would have the upper hand once a war broke out.”

“After the sovereign of the Darkstar race died, the Wood Spirits finally moved against the Darkstar race. They slaughtered all their experts in an unstoppable manner such that the Darkstar race almost became extinct. In the end, a small fraction of the Darkstar race hid in the World of the Fallen Beast.”

“The World of the Fallen Beast was actually the handiwork of the sovereign from the Darkstar race. He slayed the ancient beast when he was still alive, refining it into a world and setting up some arrangements inside. He turned it into a place for the Darkstar race to seek refuge. At the same time, he set down the conditions of entry, which is the limit of age.”

“Perhaps due to the arrangements of the sovereign from the Darkstar race, or perhaps the sovereign of the Wood Spirits was benevolent and did not want to destroy the Darkstar race completely. However, regardless of the reason, he did not lay his hands on the World of the Fallen Beast in the end. Though, the sovereign of the Wood Spirits did leave behind a sliver of his will in there.”
