Ruijin acted like he had done something insignificant after killing a Ninth Heavenly Layer Holy Emperor. He did not even glance at the Yama who had been reduced to a pulp. He turned to the bloodied Jianchen and asked, "Jianchen, are you alright?"
Jianchen sucked in a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down. He was deeply shocked by how Ruijin had killed a Ninth Heavenly Layer Holy Emperor with absolute strength. It had to be mentioned that the Ninth Heavenly Layer was already the peak of the Holy Emperor. Although it was still some distance away from Great Perfection, it was not too far away. However, this tiny gap was so huge in Ruijin's hands. It was like a natural chasm.
A Ninth Heavenly Layer expert was unable to put up any resistance at all. He did not even manage to injure Ruijin.
Jianchen shook his head and said, "Thank you for your concern, senior Ruijin. I can still hold on." Jianchen's voice was rather weak. The wounds from the battle with the Spectral Elder did not affect Jianchen too much. Most importantly, the palm strike from the Yama had heavily injured him. If it were not for his Chaotic Body, he probably would have collapsed long ago.
Bi Dao flew over to Jianchen's side from afar. When Ruijin let out that earth-shaking roar, Bi Dao had been protected by Honglian's strange pearl that contained origin energy and could repel all soul attacks. As a result, Ruijin's roar did not affect him at all.
"Xiangtian, now that the Yama Hall has been destroyed, our Bi family has finally been avenged. This is all thanks to you. You're very heavily injured right now, so you better hurry up and heal, just in case you leave behind any latent problems." Bi Dao's voice was filled with concern. Although he was deeply shocked by Jianchen's strength, this was clearly not the time to catch up.
Jianchen nodded before ordering the five Saint Rulers who had just recovered to clean up the battlefield. Afterward, he immediately entered the artifact space, with Ruijin, Hei Yu, and Bi Dao standing guard outside.
Jianchen sat in the center of the room, completely covered in blood. His entire body was enveloped by a layer of extremely dense Radiant Saint Force origin energy, allowing his wounds to rapidly heal.
The white-robed Artifact Spirit stood silently beside Jianchen. She controlled the Radiant Saint Force origin energy to constantly fuse with Jianchen's body. Coupled with the natural recovery of Jianchen's Chaotic Body, his wounds healed at an unbelievable rate.
Jianchen did not use his own Radiant Saint Force origin energy. When he broke through to Class 7, he had not fused a lot of Radiant Saint Force origin energy into his soul. Every strand of origin energy he used would be gone, so replenishing it would be even more troublesome than Chaotic Force. His Radiant Saint Force origin energy was a foundation for him to become a Class 8 Radiant Saint Master in the future.
On the Tian Yuan Continent, every single Radiant Saint Master was born. They were fated to be Radiant Saint Masters the moment they were born. They could not become Radiant Saint Masters through cultivation, so it was much easier for Radiant Saint Masters to break through to Class 7. All a Class 6 Radiant Saint Master needed to do was fuse with Radiant Saint Force origin energy, while a Class 7 Radiant Saint Master needed to accumulate a tremendous amount of Radiant Saint Force origin energy to advance to Class 8. This was the secret to reaching Class 8.
However, there had only been a single Class 8 Radiant Saint Master in ancient times. There was no Radiant Saint Force origin energy in the world, so there was no way for a Class 8 Radiant Saint Master to appear.
However, Jianchen possessed a saint artifact that specialized in refining Radiant Saint Force origin energy, so he possessed a unique advantage. As a result, reaching Class 8 was only a matter of time for Jianchen.
Four hours later, Jianchen finally recovered from his wounds. He left the secret room after changing into a set of clean clothes. Afterward, he asked the Artifact Spirit about the several dozen elites of the Flame Mercenaries who had been thrown into the artifact space before.
"Master, they've been fighting against magical beasts in the past few years, constantly tempering themselves and increasing their proficiency with Heaven Tier Battle Skills. A small portion of them have already reached Heaven Saint Master while the rest are all Earth Saint Masters," said the Artifact Spirit.
Jianchen nodded in satisfaction, "Their strength has indeed increased quite quickly. I didn't waste all those heavenly resources to improve their talent for cultivation. Once they reach the peak of Heaven Saint Master, I'll send them to Mercenary City and get Xiao Ling to help them reach Sainthood. Artifact Spirit, remember, those people can't be harmed at all. "
"I understand, but master, their talent may have been improved by heavenly resources, but becoming a Sainthood is not something that can be replaced by talent. It requires comprehension. I've carefully observed every single one of them and I've discovered that they basically have no hope of reaching Sainthood. Their limit is Heaven Saint Master," said the Artifact Spirit.
"You don't need to worry about that. There's a rare item in the sea realm called the divine water of the world. It has wondrous effects on the soul, so consuming it can make up for what they lack in this aspect." Jianchen said confidently. He had everything planned out. These people were the first to follow him, and they were also the first to join the Flame Mercenaries. He would nurture them without holding back, turning them into the core of the Flame Mercenaries.
Jianchen could not help but feel excited when he thought about how the Flame Mercenaries would have several dozen Saint Rulers as a foundation in the future.
Although the current Flame Mercenaries had sufficient strength at the very top, the strength in the middle was far too lacking. It was nowhere near the strength of the ancient clans, but this foundation could not be made up for in a short amount of time. It needed to be slowly accumulated.
Boom!
At this moment, a violent rumble rang out from a palace nearby. Along with it, a pressure that originated from the world permeated the surroundings. It was extremely powerful and heavy, as if a supreme king had descended, making all living things submit to him. It deeply shocked everyone's souls.
Jianchen stood outside the palace as he stared at the origin of the sound. He remained silent for a long time.
"Master, that's your friend trying to modify the Saint Tier Battle Skill. He's been experimenting with it often in the past few years, almost destroying the palace many times. He wanted me to specially strengthen the palace he's cultivating in," the Artifact Spirit said as some helplessness appeared on its face.
"The Saint Tier Battle Skill was left behind by the emperor of the Eight Wastelands. It's far more powerful than the Holy Emperor's creation. Nubis wants to modify a Saint Tier Battle Skill suitable for the Sea race so that magical beasts can use it as well. It's not an easy matter, but it seems like he's already made some progress. I just don't know how many more years he'll need to complete it," Jian Chen muttered to himself. Reminiscence filled Jianchen's eyes. Nubis had already spent a few years in seclusion in the saint artifact, which made Jian Chen miss the time when he fought alongside Nubis a little.
Jianchen left the artifact space. When he appeared in the outside world, Ruijin's Dragon's Domain had already vanished. The surroundings returned to how they were before, while the banner of the Flame Mercenaries was raised at the highest point of the ruined divine hall. It fluttered in the wind, symbolizing the Flame Mercenaries' victory.
The five Saint Rulers of the Flame Mercenaries arrived before Jianchen. They all passed over a Space Ring and said, "Captain, the battlefield has been cleaned up. We've collected all the Space Rings and treasures in the divine hall. They're all in here."
As soon as Jianchen accepted the Space Ring, Black Fish flew out from the ruins of the divine hall. He arrived before Jianchen with two one-meter-wide slates in his hand and said, "Jianchen, look at what this is." Black Fish smiled and directly tossed the slates to Jianchen.
Jianchen caught the slates with a single hand and immediately felt their weight. The slates did not seem large, but they were extraordinarily heavy. They actually weighed over a thousand pieces of gold. A few diagrams were clearly engraved on the slates, but they were incomplete.
Jianchen raised the two slates and carefully studied the diagrams. A gleam of light flashed through his eyes, and he immediately pulled out another slate of the same size from his Space Ring. The three slates were the same in both size and color, but they were engraved with different diagrams.
"This is an incomplete diagram of a Saint Tier Battle Skill!" Jianchen said in surprise. He had found the incomplete diagram of a Saint Tier Battle Skill in the treasury of the Qiangan Kingdom when the other kingdoms had attacked the Kingdom of Gesun.
"Correct, it's an incomplete diagram of a Saint Tier Battle Skill. It seems to have been split into six pieces," Black Fish indifferently replied. Hei Yu said indifferently. He knew that a Saint Tier Battle Skill was nothing to Jian Chen, but it held extraordinary significance to the Flame Mercenaries.
Jianchen accepted the three slates. After thanking Black Fish, he left with everyone else. Jianchen had already persuaded Bi Dao to enter the artifact space to recuperate.
Black Fish personally ripped open a Space Gate to Changyang Prefecture before leaving with Jianchen.
After they left, the world fell into a deathly silence once more. Only a large pile of corpses and a dilapidated temple remained here. The breeze was bleak, and it carried the smell of blood into the surroundings.
Only a pile of ruins and corpses remained of the Yama Hall that the three peak assassins who had stood on the Tian Yuan Continent for over a hundred thousand years.
Returning to the Changyang clan, Jian Chen told the five Saint Rulers of the Flame Mercenaries to return to Flame City by themselves. Afterward, he went to Bi Yuntian's room all by himself. He saw Bi Yuntian sitting on the edge of the bed, sewing a piece of cloth embroidered with golden threads.
