The next moment.
That peak Golden Immortal expert didn't even have time to utter a wail before being blasted into dust by the Star Palace Master's lightning strike.
That wasn't the end of it. Chen Jian waved his hand again, ready to send the second black-robed man from the Dark Temple on his way.
Di Lin panicked and quickly said, "Palace Master Chenjian, please calm down. Actually, we came with good gifts. That jade pendant was just a small test."
Dilin knew that talking wouldn't do any good, so he took out a gift box, opened it, and inside lay a round, blue pill.
As soon as the elixir appeared, a rich fragrance spread, captivating those who smelled it and mesmerizing those who saw it.
This elixir is a celestial-grade pill, the Soul-Replenishing Pill.
As the name suggests, no matter what kind of trauma a person's soul has suffered, taking this elixir can restore it to normal, and even elevate it to a higher level.
Soul power is also extremely important in the mortal universe. Even if the physical body is destroyed, the soul remains. If the soul power is strong enough, it can completely parasitize another person's body.
Or, to be even more cruel, to directly possess someone's body.
The situation of cultivating a new physical body is very rare, and the speed is too slow to compare with this kind of rapid acquisition.
Unfortunately, soul power is difficult to improve, so the Soul-Replenishing Pill in Dillin's hand is, without exaggeration, worth the same as the Ancient Hero Sword.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have greedily accepted it, but unfortunately, Chen Jian is not an ordinary person.
The Dark Temple was his mortal enemy, and he even took out those three jade pendants to humiliate the three brothers who died fighting for the Star Temple.
As a palace master, he could not easily tolerate such humiliation.
"Dilin, do you think I'm a country bumpkin? You think I'll let you go just because you offer me a Soul-Replenishing Pill?"
"impossible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a ruthless glint flashed in Chen Jian's eyes, and two nearly tangible giant fists of stars took shape above his head.
Finally, with an indomitable momentum, it slammed down on the two black-robed men beside Dilin.
Seeing this, the two black-robed men shrouded in the aura of death resisted fiercely, but to no avail. Under the pressure of the aura, all their efforts were in vain. At this moment, Chen Jian was infinitely close to becoming a Celestial Lord!
A mere early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal is no match for him.
Bang, bang!
Two deep, muffled sounds rang out, and the two black-robed men beside Dilin were blasted into nothingness by the giant star fist.
Their soul power was utterly powerless against the overwhelming power of the stars and was completely torn apart.
Dilling and his group originally consisted of four people, but now only he remains.
This sense of frustration made him grit his teeth. Those bastards in charge of intelligence in the temple said that the temple master of the Star Temple would not appear before the ceremony began, and the ceremony would not start for at least an hour.
How did Chen Jian appear so quickly?
The problem was no longer something he could consider, because above Chen Jian's head, another giant star fist had been formed.
Although he was a member of the Dark Temple, at this moment, the fear of death had caused him to lose his composure as an elder.
He cried out, "Palace Master Chenjian, I was just following orders. Your actions will only increase the friction between our two temples."
"Now that we've finally reached a period of peace, if you spare me today, I'll definitely speak well of you to the Palace Master when I get back."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jian closed his eyes and pondered. After a moment, the giant star fist above his head slowly dissipated.
Dilling's face, which had turned pale with fright, gradually regained a sense of security.
"It's good to be alive," Dilling murmured to himself.
He looked up at Chen Jian, whose figure appeared exceptionally tall in his eyes. However, when he returned, he would embellish the events of the day and tell the Palace Master about them.
His Dark Temple suffered the inexplicable loss of two peak Golden Immortals and one early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. He couldn't let this go unpunished.
Chen Jian glanced back at Di Lin, then led Ye Que and Ye Xiaoyu, stepping through the void to the high platform.
The audience below immediately erupted in enthusiastic applause.
He slowly pressed down.
"Everyone, please don't applaud yet. According to the schedule, the investiture ceremony for the divine child and goddess will not begin for another hour."
"I am here on the platform because there is another important thing I want to tell you."
As soon as Chen Jian finished speaking, everyone became interested. What could it be that the Lord of the Star Temple would say before the ceremony? Was there a last-minute change to the identities of the Divine Son and Divine Daughter?
That shouldn't be the case. Look at the man and woman beside the Hall Master Chenjian; they are both wearing holy robes with star patterns and a crown made of star power.
Of all these people, who is most looking forward to Chen Jian's words?
Di Lin, who was still pinned to the ground, thought that Chen Jian had forgotten to release the pressure on him. He secretly sent messages several times, but Chen Jian ignored them.
Helpless, he had no choice but to admit defeat. Now he was the fish on the chopping block, while the Palace Master Chenjian was the one doing the chopping.
"Everyone saw clearly what the Dark Temple did today," said the Hall Master of Chenjian Palace.
“My Starry Sky Temple did not invite these inhuman and ghostly creatures at all, but they came uninvited and brought gifts to humiliate my Starry Sky Temple.”
"What you all don't know is that yesterday, due to some accidents at my Star God Temple, the Divine Son Ye Que left the Endless Star Sea and encountered the Dark God Temple's guards on his way back."
"He was almost killed by these beasts, but fortunately someone came to his aid, and the divine child returned safely."
"Therefore, today, I, Chen Jian, here as the Palace Master of the Star God Temple of the Central Heaven Star Region, officially end those minor skirmishes with the Dark God Temple. My Star God Temple is going to war with this mortal enemy!"
silence!
A deathly silence!
The entire Xinghai Square was quiet; you could hear a pin drop clearly. Unfortunately, the ill-timed embroidery needle did not appear.
Everyone was stunned. The Star Temple and the Dark Temple hadn't had a major conflict for almost a thousand years. They had mostly had minor skirmishes, or even the kind of insignificant skirmishes that didn't result in any deaths.
Now that the Lord of Chenjian Palace has directly stated that he wants to officially start a war with the Dark Temple, it means one thing: what follows is no longer a small-scale skirmish, but a life-or-death struggle.
Di Lin was the most afraid. He had been overjoyed, thinking that if he took out the Soul-Replenishing Pill, the Lord of Chenjian Palace would let him go. Now it seemed that this was absolutely impossible.
No wonder the Hall Master of Chenjian Palace didn't remove the pressure on him; it wasn't that he forgot, he simply never intended to do so.
