Jianchen fled into the distance as quickly as he could. Although the depths of the divine realm were filled with danger, where there were even powerful existences that could threaten 16th Star experts, Jianchen was fearless right now. He did not worry about encountering any danger as he flew.
Jianchen carried the small ape on his shoulder with a single hand. The ape had only just reached Class 5, so it was unable to threaten Jianchen at all. Even though it struggled as hard as it could, it was unable to break free from Jianchen's demonic claws.
Behind Jian Chen, the two huge apes ran with large strides. They roared out furiously as their eyes were bloodshot. Their gazes towards Jian Chen were filled with anger. Every single step they took would produce a heavy thud, causing the ground to shake violently.
Even though they had reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer and Great Perfection of the Holy Emperor, they did not seem to have grasped the mysteries of the world and were unable to use Spatial Force. As a result, even though they were far more powerful than Jianchen, they were unable to surpass Jianchen in terms of speed. They were unable to catch up at all.
Jianchen maintained a certain distance from the two apes the entire time. He planned on drawing them far away.
Suddenly, a loud beast roar rang out. A twenty-meter-long, winged scorpion-like beast charged at Jianchen. Its eyes were dark and filled with a bloodthirsty light. Clearly, it was a beast without any intelligence.
The beast was at the 15th Star. Although it had a pair of wings, it could not fly. However, it moved very quickly, surpassing the two stronger apes behind it. It was even slightly faster than Jianchen.
With a flash, the poisonous hook on the scorpion's tail flickered with a dark blue light. It stabbed at Jianchen with lightning-like speed.
Jianchen dodged the attack with great agility before grabbing it with a single hand. He swung it as hard as he could, immediately throwing the huge scorpion far away. It flew straight towards the two apes.
The huge scorpion smashed into the ground, creating a crater. It immediately climbed back up and stared at Jianchen with bloodthirsty eyes. It flapped its wings and continued to chase after Jianchen.
However, at this moment, a huge axe fell from the sky. With a violent boom, it viciously struck the scorpion's back, piercing its abdomen.
The scorpion was nailed to the axe before it was lifted up by the huge ape. It carried the axe on its shoulder and continued to chase after Jian Chen. It did not even look at the scorpion that was rocking back and forth with the axe impaled on its shoulder.
Jianchen was secretly shocked when he saw this. The huge ape was just too barbaric and too powerful. It had dealt with a 15th Star feral beast so easily. Although he did not know the abilities of the Holy Emperor, Jianchen believed that even the Holy Emperor at Great Perfection would not be able to gain an advantage against it.
Jianchen and the two apes chased after each other, covering a distance of over a thousand kilometers very soon. They would come across a few adventurers along the way, and they would become stunned when they saw this. There were also a few feral beasts that had yet to develop intelligence and wanted to eat Jianchen. However, before Jianchen could do anything, they were torn to pieces by the two furious apes behind him.
Zhou Chuyun and the others did not appear immediately after Jian Chen lured the two apes away. Instead, they carefully observed the situation from afar. Only after everything calmed down and they confirmed that the two apes would not be returning any time soon did Zhou Chuyun and Liu Jun cautiously make their way over the corpses of the beasts slain by the apes. They arrived before the walnut-sized drop of divine water of the world. Their faces were filled with excitement.
"The two terrifying beasts should be returning very soon. Zhou Chuyun, take the divine water of the world quickly. I'll go check the corpses of the feral beasts and see if I can find thunderstones," said Liu Jun with a deep voice. Liu Jun said in a deep voice. Although the giant ape was already far away, they still didn't dare to waste too much time here.
Zhou Chuyun nodded and immediately pulled out a jade bottle from his Space Ring. Liu Jun went to check the corpses of the feral beasts.
"Fucking bastard, there's a powerful layer of energy protecting the divine water of the world. It must have been left behind by the ferocious beasts. With this layer of energy protecting it, I can't take it away," suddenly, Zhou Chuyun cursed. His face was filled with anxiety and worry.
"What! How can this be!? " Liu Jun's face suddenly changed as he checked the corpses. He arrived before the divine water in a flash and studied it carefully. He furrowed his brows and said with a deep voice, "This layer of energy is very powerful. It was left behind by a 15th Star feral beast. It should be there to prevent the divine water of the world from drifting away. We can't remove it in a short amount of time, so what do we do?"
"We don't have a lot of time. We need to think of something quickly." Zhou Chuyun was utterly troubled.
At this moment, a figure flew in Zhou Chuyun's direction while sticking close to the ground. He moved extremely quickly and concealed all of his presence, so not a single strand of presence leaked out. He was extremely cautious.
The figure first observed the situation from afar. Although the ground was littered with the corpses of powerful feral beasts, which shocked him, he could tell with a single glance that the feral beasts had killed each other and had not been slain by someone else. At the same time, Zhou Chuyun and Liu Jun were only Saint Rulers, so he obviously did not take them seriously. Without any fear, he swaggered over from afar and laughed aloud, "There's actually divine water of the world here. Haha, this is fantastic. I've wandered through the depths of the divine realm for three whole years, but I still haven't found any. I heard the roars of feral beasts earlier, so I came to check it out out of curiosity. I never thought that I would actually come across divine water of the world. The heavens really are on my side."
The person who had arrived was a skinny, middle-aged man. He had a common face and dark blue skin. He was a member of the Sea race. He seemed indifferent, but he was filled with caution inside. He constantly glanced around, just in case there were other experts hiding in the shadows who would suddenly attack him. At the same time, a tremendous presence radiated from his body, forming a deterrent to the people who might be hiding in the shadows.
With his rich experience, he could tell with a single glance that the corpses of the feral beasts had killed each other. The wounds were not something that adventurers could cause.
"Oh no, it's a 15th Star expert," Zhou Chuyun said with a heavy voice. Zhou Chuyun growled. His and Liu Jun's faces became extremely ugly. Jianchen was no longer here, so the two of them could not stop a 15th Star expert with their strength.
The middle-aged man strode towards the two of them. A tremendous pressure crushed down on the two of them like a mountain. He sneered, "Lucky adventurers, I never thought that you would arrive here before this king. However, it's extremely unfortunate that this king also needs the divine water of the world. If you don't want to die, leave behind the divine water and piss off immediately. Otherwise, don't blame this king for not giving you a chance."
Zhou Chuyun and Liu Jun's faces became rather pale. They were now stuck between a rock and a hard place.
"Esteemed warrior, this portion of divine water of the world already has an owner. Its owner is a 16th Star expert, and that's why it's called the 16th Star.
He's a 16th Star expert who can stand toe to toe with hall elders. Are you sure you want to steal from this expert? " Zhou Chuyun clasped his hands. Right now, he could only mention Jianchen in hopes of intimidating the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man's body stiffened by an undetectable amount when he heard that, but he recovered in a single moment. He glared at Zhou Chuyun and teased, "A 16th Star expert who can stand toe to toe with hall elders? Hahaha, do you think I'm that easy to trick? Stop spouting nonsense in front of me, or I'll end your lives right now. "
"Esteemed warrior, what I've said is completely true. These beasts were slain by two huge apes. The expert led the two apes away, and before he left, he ordered the two of us to take care of the divine water of the world for him. If you want to take the divine water of the world, you must be prepared to deal with that expert," said Zhou Chuyun.
The middle-aged man's face changed slightly when he heard that. He asked, "What special characteristics did the two apes have? Tell me about them."
Zhou Chuyun immediately told him everything he had seen. The middle-aged man's face immediately became unsettled when he heard that. He constantly glanced past the wounds of the feral beasts.
"That expert led us through the Mountains of the Sleeping Dragon. He killed an extremely powerful violet serpent dragon at the peak of the mountain range," Liu Jun said. He reported Jianchen's achievements in an attempt to scare the middle-aged man away.
The middle-aged man's face changed once again. He had indeed heard the constant roars of feral beasts from the Mountains of the Sleeping Dragon not long ago. There really was a terrifying expert traversing the mountain range. Now that he connected Zhou Chuyun's words with the scene before him, he was basically certain that Zhou Chuyun was telling the truth.
The light in the middle-aged man's eyes flickered. After a moment of hesitation, a sliver of heavy killing intent flashed through his eyes. He said sinisterly, "So what if you're telling the truth? That peak expert is no longer here. I'll kill you and take the divine water of the world. No matter how powerful that peak expert is, he won't know that it was me." The middle-aged man sped up as he became filled with killing intent.
Zhou Chuyun and Liu Jun's faces changed drastically. Just when they were about to flee, there was a sudden flash in the distance. Over a dozen figures shot over with great speed. All of them concealed their presences and moved silently. They did not want to alarm the feral beasts in the distance.
These people clearly did not belong to the same camp. They stood in several different locations and were wary of one another. They were filled with caution, and there were actually three Holy Emperor experts among them.
The middle-aged man gave up on killing Zhou Chuyun and Liu Jun. He stared at the people who had appeared later with a sunken face. Their arrival had ruined his plans.
"Divine water of the world. It's actually divine water of the world!"
"There's actually divine water of the world here. Fantastic, I've finally found it!"
Some people could not help but cry out when they saw the divine water of the world. All of their faces were filled with joy.
A gentle breeze blew, and four more people appeared in the field. They were four old men.
Zhou Chuyun and Liu Jun shivered inside. They were familiar with the four old men. They were the four people who had almost clashed with Jianchen in the cave in the outskirts of the divine realm.
"It's actually divine water of the world. What an unexpected harvest," one of the four old men said with a hoarse voice.
