As the news that the Holy Emperor was forbidden from entering the Bright Moon Divine Hall spread, the hesitant Saint Rulers and a few Heaven Saint Masters who had been waiting outside could no longer hold back their desires. They charged into the divine hall excitedly and vanished. Since all the Holy Emperor had been trapped in the divine hall, the Saint Rulers were the most powerful existences. This reignited the flames of hope in the hearts of the Saint Rulers who had given up on the Bright Moon Divine Hall. It was as if the Bright Moon Divine Hall was already within their grasp.
With the influx of people, the number of people in the divine hall rapidly increased. Even Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers had only just become Heaven Saint Masters.
Half of the Saint Rulers from the Radiant Saint Master Union had entered the divine hall as well, but none of the Class 7 Radiant Saint Masters had entered. Instead, they watched from outside and did not leave. They all paid close attention to who would obtain the divine hall in the end.
You Yue and Kara Livi made their way into the depths of the divine hall under the protection of the Evil King and the White Tiger. The palm-sized saint artifact followed them closely, hovering above You Yue's head the entire time.
At the highest level of the Bright Moon Divine Hall, the illusory woman was still sitting cross-legged on a piece of white jade. Her eyes were slightly closed, and nothing in the divine hall could escape her control.
The woman slowly opened her eyes. A contemplative look appeared on her fairy-like face as she muttered, "I originally wanted to attract some geniuses to this place so that I can possess them and cultivate again. However, from the looks of it now, I don't need to use this method at all. A better choice has appeared before me."
"That's fine too. The origin energy of this world has been sealed. Even if I possess someone and cultivate from scratch, I won't be able to break through to the Origin realm like the Holy Emperor. However, the Chaotic Body doesn't have this restriction …"
"But just who was the one who cast down the formation in the distant outer space? Why did he seal up the origin energy? It's a pity that the formation is just too powerful. I can't break through it at all, or how could I, Haoyue, have ended up like this …"
The layout of the Bright Moon Divine Hall was extremely complicated. Corridors crisscrossed everywhere, making it extremely easy for people to get lost. It was as complicated as a maze.
You Yue and Kara Livi lost their way very soon. They wandered through the messy corridors and corridors that would appear from time to time in hopes of finding the right exit. They had also tried to leave behind markings along the way, but they were unable to leave behind any markings in the divine hall no matter what method they used. They could only leave by luck.
You Yue and the others would come across a few Heaven Saint Masters and Saint Rulers in the maze-like corridors from time to time, but there were no conflicts. There were a few Saint Rulers who wanted to travel with You Yue and the others, but they were all turned down by You Yue.
Sima You Yue and the others were trapped here for a full three days before they finally found the correct exit and arrived at the second level. During this time, they did not encounter the slightest bit of danger. It was as if this Bright Moon Divine Palace did not have any danger that targeted Saint Kings or those below the realm of Saint Kings.
During those three days, Saint Rulers and Heaven Saint Masters constantly entered the Bright Moon Divine Hall, causing the number of people in the divine hall to reach several thousand. However, most of them were only Heaven Saint Masters.
The news of the Holy Emperor being trapped had reached the ears of the ten protector clans and the various ancient clans as well, immediately causing a great commotion. The protector clans treated the matter with great importance and immediately, Holy Emperor experts hurried over from the protector clans. They stopped outside the Bright Moon Divine Hall with furrowed brows as they discussed how to save the people. Even Holy Emperor experts from Mercenary City had personally hurried over.
The trapped Holy Emperor experts all sat on the ground within the formation space of the Bright Moon Divine Hall. They all did their best to suppress the loss of energy within them. Black Fish and Honglian had already donned origin energy armor, but it was still unable to stop the loss of energy. All it could do was slow them down.
A few of the weaker Holy Emperor experts had already become pale. They gently trembled as they sat on the ground. Clearly, they were in great pain. In particular, the Holy Emperor experts who had been struck by the Moonlight Sword Qi outside lay powerlessly on the ground. Their eyes were empty as despair filled their faces. They had lost all their energy.
The loss of energy would not cause their cultivation to regress. Even if they had lost all their energy, they could replenish it outside. They would make a full recovery before long. However, the Holy Emperor experts were extremely frail after losing their energy, especially in the strange formation space. They were unable to use their Holy Emperor abilities. They were unable to control Space and World Force, reducing them to ordinary people.
The only person who could still control the loss of energy was Jianchen. The strength and uniqueness of Chaotic Force could not be compared to regular energy, but even with that being the case, Jianchen needed to do his best to suppress it.
"I hope You Yue can successfully obtain the Bright Moon Divine Hall, or we'll all be trapped here until we die," Jianchen prayed inside.
In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed. During that time, who knew how many people had entered the Bright Moon Divine Hall. Figures could be seen everywhere, but most of them were Heaven Saint Masters.
In this half a month's time, You Yue and the others had already passed through eight levels of the maze and arrived at the ninth level of the Bright Moon Divine Palace.
Without a doubt, the ninth floor of the Bright Moon Divine Hall was much smaller than the floors below it. As far as the eye could see, it seemed more like an extremely spacious hall. Nine huge stone pillars carved with simple patterns supported the roof of the hall. Every single stone pillar had faint Moonlight Force circulating around it, imperceptibly giving off a tremendous pressure.
The interior of the hall was resplendent. All the stone tables, chairs, and other decorations were carved from the same type of jade. Every single one of them was extremely delicate and priceless.
At the end of the hall, a majestic and imposing moonlight throne was suspended in the air. On the throne, there was a two-meter-long scepter with exquisite craftsmanship. It emitted a hazy moonlight, and it was very beautiful.
You Yue and the others were not the first to arrive. Many Saint Rulers and an extremely small number of Heaven Saint Masters had arrived before them. Although the hall was not packed with people, there were still several hundred people gathered. All of them stared at the scepter on the throne with shining eyes. No one made a sound at all. The atmosphere was extremely strange.
Although the treasure was right before them, no one dared to go up and fight for it. All the people who could make it there were extremely intelligent. They all knew that whoever went up first would be the first to be surrounded and attacked by everyone. Even Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers would struggle to survive.
"That scepter definitely isn't simple. There might be some secret hidden within it, and that throne is extraordinary as well," Xie Wang stared at the throne at the end of the hall and said softly.
"Roar!" The White Tiger's eyes narrowed as a vicious light shone in them. He immediately leapt up and shot toward the throne as a blur. He completely ignored the several hundred Saint Rulers and Heaven Saint Masters gathered there.
Xie Wang did not follow him. Instead, he stayed close to You Yue and Kara Livi, protecting them to the best of his ability.
"That's the Winged Tiger …"
"The Winged Tiger wants to take the throne. Stop him …"
"The scepter definitely hides Fairy Haoyue's cultivation method. It might even be something that can directly control the divine hall. We can't let the Winged Tiger obtain it …"
"Whoever obtains the scepter will be able to control the divine hall …"
The strange atmosphere in the hall was immediately broken by the White Tiger's actions. At that moment, no one hesitated any longer. They all charged toward the scepter as quickly as they could, and the White Tiger at the very front became everyone's target. Immediately, over twenty Saint Rulers struck out at the same time, sending powerful sword Qi toward the White Tiger.
