Over twenty Holy Emperor vengeful spirits struck out at the same time, immediately increasing the pressure on Ruijin, Black Fish, and Honglian.
After all, they were not just facing a few vengeful spirits this time. There were a few extremely powerful vengeful spirits among the Holy Emperor vengeful spirits. Although they were not as powerful as Gustys, they were not far off.
As a result, Ruijin, Hei Yu, and Hei Yu only managed to gain a slight upper hand after being surrounded by over twenty Holy Emperor vengeful spirits even with their three origin energy treasures.
Jianchen and Tie Ta also used their full strength to keep a Holy Emperor vengeful spirit busy in hopes of reducing the burden on Ruijin, Hei Yu, and Hei Yu. However, the two of them were nowhere near as powerful as Ruijin and Tie Ta. They were nowhere near Great Perfection of the Holy Emperor, so they could only barely keep the vengeful spirits busy after using everything they had.
Under the influence of the Saints' Fruit, more and more Holy Emperor vengeful spirits gathered in the area. They all took part in dealing with Jianchen, Jianchen, and Hei Yu, Hei Yu, and Hei Yu all faced greater and greater pressure.
Jianchen and Tie Ta's opponents went from one Holy Emperor vengeful spirit to two vengeful spirits. With their strength, they could barely keep a single Holy Emperor vengeful spirit busy even if they used their full strength. Now that another one had suddenly appeared, the two of them immediately fell into an extremely bad situation. They both became injured very soon.
The golden light from Tie Ta's body had almost been dispersed. The light dimmed, and an extremely pure strand of Yin Qi invaded his body. It rapidly devoured his life force and froze it.
Jianchen's Chaotic Body was injured as well. Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. His chaotic neidan spat out strands of Chaotic Force to resist the Yin Qi that had invaded his body. That was not all. Even his soul was attacked by the grudges, causing him to feel a stabbing pain as well as a strong sense of dizziness.
This was the grudges of the Holy Emperor vengeful spirits. Even though Jianchen's soul was very powerful, he was unable to resist such powerful grudges of the grudges of the Holy Emperor.
More and more vengeful spirits gathered, reaching fifty very soon. Ruijin, Honglian, and Black Fish all became heavily surrounded as well. They were rather overwhelmed by the attacks of so many Holy Emperor vengeful spirits, so they were unable to deal with Jianchen at all.
Even with that being the case, the three of them did their best to attract as many vengeful spirits as possible to reduce the pressure on Jianchen and Tie Ta.
"Enter the artifact space," Ruijin's voice rang out from the dense, black mist formed by the Holy Emperor's vengeful spirits.
Jianchen hesitated when he heard that. The saint artifact was not indestructible. Reaching Great Perfection of the Holy Emperor was already its limit. Although the vengeful spirits were not as powerful as before, the strength they retained was still not to be underestimated. Jianchen was uncertain whether the saint artifact could withstand the attacks of the vengeful spirits.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, a Holy Emperor vengeful spirit silently appeared behind Jianchen. It directly threw a punch at Jianchen's back, sending Jianchen flying.
This was the third Holy Emperor vengeful spirit that Jianchen had faced. With Jianchen's current strength, he could barely deal with regular Holy Emperor vengeful spirits. Two was his limit, and he could not last for too long. If a third one appeared, he would definitely die.
Jianchen vomited blood as he flew several hundred meters away. Only after smashing through several trees did he land on the ground in a horrible shape.
At the same time, Tie Ta was sent flying as well. He just happened to land near Jianchen. His golden light had dimmed, and his face was pale. Golden blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.
"Jianchen, these vengeful spirits are too powerful. We can't defeat them. Let's leave this place quickly," Tie Ta said in a low, muffled voice. He was extremely stern.
Up ahead, four Holy Emperor vengeful spirits rapidly approached Jianchen and Tie Ta. Two more Holy Emperor vengeful spirits drifted over as extremely dense Yin Qi and grudges.
"Let's go!" Jianchen called out. He pulled Tie Ta with him as he quickly ran out of the Death Nest.
However, before they could even make it a hundred meters away, they ran into two more Holy Emperor vengeful spirits. The two vengeful spirits attacked Jianchen and Tie Ta without any hesitation, blocking their path of retreat. With this delay, the other six vengeful spirits caught up to Jianchen and Tie Ta. A total of eight Holy Emperor vengeful spirits attacked them at the same time.
Now, Jianchen and Tie Ta basically had nowhere to run. They were surrounded by eight vengeful spirits, so they could not escape even if they wanted to.
"Tie Ta, don't resist. Let's enter the artifact space!" Jianchen called out. With that, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared. A ten-meter-tall golden tower appeared out of nowhere. As soon as it appeared, it sucked Jianchen and Tie Ta into the space within the tower.
The eight vengeful spirits shifted their target to the golden saint artifact after losing track of the two of them. Two of the vengeful spirits swung their fists at the saint artifact while four other vengeful spirits shot out beams of black light condensed from Yin Qi and grudges. The last two vengeful spirits turned into dense balls of energy that wrapped around the saint artifact. Extremely pure Yin Qi and grudges constantly corroded the saint artifact.
Under the control of the Artifact Spirit, the artifact shrank to the size of a fist. It dodged left and right in an attempt to break out of the encirclement, but unfortunately, the artifact was only a support artifact. It was strong on the inside and weak on the outside, so it was extremely weak when it came to external attacks. Apart from being extremely tough, it had no other advantages. In the end, the eight Holy Emperor vengeful spirits trapped it firmly. It was unable to escape at all, and it was knocked far away many times.
The fierce attacks on the sacred artefact from the outside had a huge impact on the inside of the sacred artefact space as well. The entire world inside shook violently. The countless demonic beasts living in the sacred artefact space were alarmed.
A large swathe of black clouds appeared in the hazy white sky of the artifact space. It blotted out the sun and covered the entire world. It was the yin qi and grudges from the outside world that was invading the artifact space.
Jianchen and Tie Ta stared at the black clouds with rather pale faces in the resplendent palace at the very center of the artifact space. They were stern and filled with worry. The artifact was their last line of defense.
