Chapter 2256

The black-robed figure came from the mysterious and ancient Heavenly Kill Alliance.

Moreover, this person had a special identity. It was the first time in many years that he had entered a force so brazenly. If it had been in the past, he would have been hacked to death and his corpse would have been hung high on the city wall.

In recent years, the assassins of the Heavenly Kill Alliance had suddenly changed and began to assassinate foreign races. They had assassinated many Heavenly Realm experts of foreign races, and even Heaven Defying experts had been killed. This had caused the world's attitude towards them to change.

All the forces had accepted them. Over the years, they had accumulated a lot of popularity. Although everyone still respected them, they were no longer the object of disdain and disgust.

When Zi Chen returned this time, Su Mengyao had told him about the Heavenly Kill Alliance's behavior over the years. This was also the reason why Zi Chen was willing to meet him.

"I already know about what happened to you guys. You did well," Zi Chen praised.

The highest steward from the Heavenly Kill Alliance bowed and then said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your affirmation, sir. This time, I am …"

Before the other party could finish, Zi Chen waved his hand and interrupted him. He said, "I know very well why you are here. Isn't it because of the deal between you and me? Since it's my promise, I will naturally fulfill it. Saint Crystals can't help people break through, or rather, it can only help people become False Saints. Once you become a False Saint, you will never be able to reach the Saint Realm."

The other party raised his head. His eyes were full of doubts.

Although the Heavenly Kill Alliance had deep roots in the Tianwu Continent and the Zhan Wu Continent and was known as the most mysterious force, such a force was not worth mentioning in the vast sea of stars. They knew nothing about the secrets of the Star Path.

"The laws contained in the Saint Crystals are very heterogeneous. If you can't comprehend the same laws as your own, you can only stop at the False Saint Realm in the future."

Zi Chen said, "I have a lot of Saint Crystals here and some separated Law Crystal Chips. If you want to exchange them, I can give them to you now. If you are not in a hurry, I will hold a meeting here in a few days. That meeting will give people a chance to become Saints."

Zi Chen clearly had no intention of deliberately explaining for the other party. The other party clearly knew what to do. After he excused himself from the hall, he stayed in this place for a while.

During this time, Zi Chen inquired about Zhang Haotian's situation, but the other party expressed that he was not sure either. The Netherthorn Trial was unusual, and not just any assassin could participate in it. As for him, the alliance leader, he had only passed the first stage before being defeated. It was said that Zhang Haotian had passed the third stage and was still alive.

Two days later, all the Patriarchs of those forces had gathered.

Unlike the previous meeting, the Patriarchs who came this time were all in the Heaven Realm. Those whom Zi Chen invited were the top aristocratic families with Heaven Realm cultivators.

Because there weren't many people in this meeting, it was held in a side hall. The area here wasn't small and was enough to accommodate the Heaven Realm Family Heads.

As Zi Chen walked into the hall, the discussions in the surroundings came to an abrupt end. Everyone's gazes fell on Zi Chen, their expressions filled with respect and reverence. There were too many legends about Zi Chen to count. As Zi Chen sat down at the head seat, everyone bowed in unison, just like how the ministers of the secular world would bow to the emperor.

"Everyone, I have gathered everyone here today because I have a few orders."

Zi Chen waved his hand, indicating that everyone need not be so courteous. "First of all, within three months, we need to drive out all the foreign races."

Once these words were spoken, it immediately caused an uproar. Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Although in the Sky Martial Continent, due to the methods of Su Mengyao and the others, the foreign races had yet to gain any advantage, and had even suffered heavy losses, the foreign races were after all formed from the vast starry sky. There would be an unending stream of reinforcements coming. Under normal circumstances, this battle would continue until the Lightning Divine Hall appeared.

As the battle continued, as the older generation figures appeared one after another, the matter of the Lightning Divine Hall was no longer a secret. Practically all the large families knew that the foreign races' ultimate goal in invading this world was not to kill the heaven-defying experts, but because of the Lightning Divine Hall.

This battle had already been going on for over a dozen years in the Zhan Wu Continent. This was a truly chaotic era, and the war had only just begun.

However, to drive everyone out within three months, was that possible?

"I will personally arrange this matter. When I need your assistance, I will send someone to inform you. The second thing is to select some powerful Heaven Realm experts and let them enter the Saint realm first."

As expected, the surroundings were once again in an uproar, this time even louder than before.

This time, Zi Chen explained in detail the difference between the Heaven Realm and the Saint realm on the Star Road, as well as what was the true meaning of entering the Saint realm.

Hearing the division of realms, everyone fell into silence. The shock in their hearts was undoubtedly very great.

Among them, there were some families that had Saints, but their whereabouts were still unknown. There had once been Heaven Realm experts who had entered the Star Road, but it was unknown whether they were dead or alive. From the beginning to the end, it seemed that not a single person had successfully entered the Saint realm and returned alive from the Star Road.

Therefore, they did not understand the Star Road.

Just like how Zi Chen had once described Yi Qian, everyone was like a frog at the bottom of a well, naively thinking that the world was only the size of this well, and that this was all they had.

In the entire meeting, no one spoke. Only Zi Chen was speaking.

He talked about some of his experiences on the Star Road, some of his opportunities on the Star Road, as well as the cruel disputes on the Star Road. Hearing this, the family heads of the various powers all revealed complicated expressions.

As for the black-robed man who stayed in the corner and deliberately kept a distance from the others, his eyes became brighter and brighter after hearing what Zi Chen said.

It was like a curious frog meeting a bird that came to drink water from the well. The bird told him about another sky, and he was full of yearning for that unknown world, unlike the other frogs who were full of fear of the unfamiliar world.

"Go, make the arrangements. I only want the strongest."

Zi Chen waved his hand. This four-hour speech was over. He did not care whether these people had digested today's content or not.

Everyone left, except for the black-robed man. As the leader of the Heavenly Assassins Alliance and the spokesperson of an ancient and mysterious power, he naturally would not allow a false Saint to appear. Since they wanted to enter the Star Road to take a look, they would enter the Star Road with the strongest posture, and let the entire world know of the existence of the Heavenly Assassins Alliance.

"Sir, please show us the way." He saluted Zi Chen without hesitation. His attitude was very respectful.

Only after stepping on the Star Road did he realize the vastness of this world, and how ridiculous the battles in the past were. Now, the leader's vision had been broadened. He finally understood that it was not a big deal to be the king of this world. Only by dominating the entire Star Road could he truly be the king of this world.

Therefore, he needed to form an alliance with Zi Chen, or let Zi Chen give him a way out.

"If you trust me, ask some disciples with potential to come here. After I've sensed their principles, I will refine the Sacred Crystal for them to help them enter the Saint Realm. However, there is one condition. From now on, you are not allowed to attack the cultivators on this life star," said Zi Chen in a low-pitched voice.

"Sir, please don't worry about this. After we reached an agreement, not only the people of the Sky Martial Continent, but also the people of the Zhan Wu Continent did not attack the natives," the leader of the Heavenly Assassins Alliance said immediately.

As for the issue of trust, he did not think much about it. Zi Chen had the blessing of the entire life star. Everything he did was to strengthen the overall strength of the life star. Naturally, he could be trusted.

Moreover, even if Zi Chen knew their cultivation method and the rules they had comprehended, so what?

Could it be that they could not kill Zi Chen?

The answer was that they could not kill Zi Chen. This was something that had been proven for thousands of years. It did not matter whether he knew their background or not.

"Seven days later, our people will come. At that time, we will have to trouble you, sir." Then, the leader respectfully left.

Seeing the leader of the Heavenly Assassins Alliance leave, Zi Chen relaxed a little. This ancient alliance was truly powerful. Perhaps he was not afraid of it, but how many people in the world were like him?

It was obviously impossible to subdue this power, but Zi Chen did not plan to subdue them. It was fine as long as both sides were bound by benefits. From today onwards, the Heavenly Assassins Alliance would not attack the practitioners on the life star. This undoubtedly turned an enemy into a true ally.

Next, it would be the people of the Star Road who would have a headache.

He believed that these assassins would give them a headache for a long time if they were at the same level.

Just as the forces of the Sky Martial Continent were carefully selecting heaven realm practitioners to enter the Saint realm, Zi Chen finally received the Azure Dragon Saint's transmission. Thus, he walked toward the Azure Dragon Palace.

This was the Azure Dragon Saint's Time Castle. This time, he had refined it again. The time acceleration within it was also useful for Saints.

"Zi Chen, with our current strength, this castle can only accelerate time a hundred times for Saints. Thus, you have ten thousand years to prepare. I hope you can create more Saints for the life star," said the Azure Dragon Saint.

Thinking about how he would have to spend the next ten thousand years refining Saint Crystals, Zi Chen couldn't help shuddering. Fortunately, he still had his Doppelganger, but when he thought about how he wouldn't be able to use his strongest Doppelganger for the next ten thousand years, he couldn't help feeling sad.

However, looking at these exhausted Saints, what else could Zi Chen say? He could only nod and agree.

"What's with the aura on your body?" Suddenly, a voice rang out.

"What aura?" Zi Chen was startled as he looked at Fairy Ling Shuang.

Fairy Ling Shuang's beautiful eyes stared at Zi Chen's chest. She said, "I can sense a mysterious aura on your body. This aura is constantly circulating, absorbing the surrounding energy on its own."

Hearing Fairy Ling Shuang's words, the other Saints also sensed Zi Chen's abnormality.

In their senses, Zi Chen was like a whirlpool, absorbing the surrounding energy.

Zi Chen could only admit, "It's the Rainbow Sacred Tree," he exclaimed in his heart about the sharp senses of these Saints.

Then, he saw the eyes of these Saints light up. They were like hungry wolves that had seen their prey.
