"Artifact Spirit, what's the situation outside? Can you stop the attacks of the vengeful spirits?" Jianchen asked.
"Master, the vengeful spirits outside are extremely powerful, and extremely powerful Yin Qi and grudges have invaded. I can stop them, but I won't be able to last for too long." The Artifact Spirit's stern figure appeared in the air. He had already fused with the saint artifact, doing everything he could to control the saint artifact's power to fend off the invading Yin Qi and grudges.
"Artifact Spirit, if you can't break out of the encirclement, try your best to get close to Ruijin and the others. Then get them to leave the Death Nest with the saint artifact," Jian Chen said with a heavy voice. His complexion was very ugly. The danger of the Death Nest had completely exceeded his expectations. He had never thought that even with Ruijin and the others, they would still end up in such a dangerous situation.
The saint artifact obeyed the order and immediately began to move toward Ruijin and the others. However, the situation was extremely horrible. The saint artifact was knocked away time and time again by the vengeful spirits. It was unable to get close to Ruijin and the others at all.
At the same time, the two vengeful spirits that had turned into mist tightly surrounded the saint artifact. Extremely pure Yin Qi and grudges constantly invaded the saint artifact.
On the other side.
Ruijin, Black Fish, and Honglian were surrounded by many vengeful spirits of the Holy Emperor. The battle that had taken place there could be described as devastating. If it were not for the fact that the Death Nest was surrounded by formations, the entire region probably would have collapsed and space would have shattered.
The number of vengeful spirits of the Holy Emperor that surrounded Ruijin, Hong Lian, and Hei Yu had already reached over eighty. Countless vengeful spirits gathered together, causing Yin Qi and grudges to fill the area. It was as if the place had become a region of ghosts, and the number was still rapidly increasing.
If it were any other day, it would have been impossible for so many vengeful spirits to gather in one place, but today just happened to be the day when the Saints' Fruit was about to ripen. The fragrance from the fruit was fatally attractive to the vengeful spirits, so basically all the vengeful spirits of the Holy Emperor in the third zone had been drawn over.
Ruijin, Honglian, and Black Fish all possessed origin energy treasures that protected their bodies and souls, preventing them from being affected by the vile energies. As a result, they were able to survive even after being surrounded. If it were any other expert in such dire straits, even a true Holy Emperor like him would be forced to flee.
However, being surrounded by so many wraiths made it difficult for Ruijin and the other two to escape.
"Honglian, help me open up a passageway. I'll go get the Sacred artefact. The Sacred artefact is in a very bad situation." Ruijin called out. Although he was busy dealing with several dozen vengeful spirits, he had always been paying attention to the situation with Jianchen and the others. He just did not have the ability to worry about them.
Honglian wore a feathery robe that seemed to be woven from feathers as a layer of white flames burned around her. She used her origin energy treasure, the Scorching Godfire Hairpin, to deal with the vengeful spirits of the Holy Emperor. Her flames were the bane of these evil beings. Although they were very harmful to the Holy Emperor vengeful spirits, they were unkillable existences. They would only disperse once all the vile energies within them were exhausted. As a result, Honglian struggled to escape after being surrounded by several dozen vengeful spirits of the Holy Emperor.
In terms of individual strength, the vengeful spirits of the Holy Emperor were nowhere near as powerful as living Holy Emperors. However, from another perspective, they were even more terrifying than living Holy Emperors because they were very difficult to kill.
At this moment, Honglian seemed to have become a goddess of fire. Flames surged around her, making her seem extraordinarily mighty. Suddenly, she let out a clear cry at the sky. It was not the voice of a human, but the cry of a phoenix. It rang through the sky.
Honglian turned into a phoenix bathed in white flames in the blink of an eye. The thumb-sized bead hovered above her head, shining with a hazy light that protected her soul. At the same time, the Ninerefined Godfire Feathers changed shape with Honglian. They remained as a feathery robe that wrapped tightly around the phoenix's ten-meter-long body.
The phoenix flapped her wings and endless flames immediately surged out, burning the surrounding plants to ashes. The countless vengeful spirits in the surroundings were temporarily forced back.
The Scorching Godfire Hairpin burned with endless white flames. Under Honglian's control, it shot out as a streak of white light, shattering several vengeful spirits in a straight line. However, the vengeful spirits reassembled very soon.
At the same time, a golden sword Qi shot over from the side. Before the vengeful spirits that had been shattered by the Scorching Godfire Heavenly Hairpin could fully reform, they were slashed to pieces by the sword Qi once more, creating a passageway to the outside.
Afterwards, Ruijin charged out of the tunnel with the Sacred Dragon's Sword. As he charged out, two Holy Emperor vengeful spirits struck Ruijin's back with their palms, causing him to jerk violently. Fortunately, he was uninjured due to the protection of the origin energy treasure. Without any hesitation, he immediately shot toward the saint artifact as a streak of golden light.
The Holy Emperor vengeful spirits were currently throwing the saint artifact around. Although the vengeful spirits were no longer as powerful as they were when they were alive, they were still Emperors. They were extremely powerful, enough to threaten the saint artifact. After enduring the attacks from the Holy Emperor vengeful spirits, the saint artifact's golden light had dimmed. Even the shape of the tower had changed slightly.
The situation within the artifact space was even worse. The hazy white sky had already darkened, allowing the artifact space to welcome its first night in over a million years. All the Class 7 Magical Beasts there stared at the sky in fear, as if they were welcoming the end of the world.
The Artifact Spirit had already used its full strength. It mobilized the power of the entire artifact space to fend off the invading vengeful spirits. The two sides were engaged in a battle of attrition. It was a contest of attrition.
"The origin energy of Radiant Saint Force is the bane of the vengeful spirits. It can purify them, but it's a pity that the vengeful spirits are Class 9, while the origin energy I control can only reach Class 8." The Artifact Spirit's voice rang out. It was filled with resentment. It was the bane of the vengeful spirits, yet it was being suppressed by the enemy. It was extremely sullen.
Although the Artifact Spirit was an expert at the same level as the Holy Emperor in the artifact space, it was only an ordinary Holy Emperor. It was nowhere near the peak. Coupled with the fact that the invading vengeful spirits were being attacked by two of the Holy Emperor vengeful spirits at the same time and the fierce attacks from several of the Holy Emperor vengeful spirits outside, it was forced into a desperate situation.
At this moment, Ruijin arrived just in time. The Sacred Dragon's Sword shone brightly as it possessed shocking might. He swung out a few times and dispersed the Holy Emperor vengeful spirits that were attacking the artifact. Afterward, he rushed into the black mist formed by the two vengeful spirits and grabbed the artifact that was in danger.
As soon as Ruijin obtained the artifact, the vengeful spirits he had dispersed condensed once more. They all charged toward Ruijin. Further away, the several dozen vengeful spirits that had attacked Ruijin earlier hurried over as well. They surrounded Ruijin once more.
In the distance, a few huge demonic figures appeared. They were all over ten meters tall and were surrounded by a surging aura of vengeful spirits. One of them was the greatest emperor of ancient times, Gustys. The vengeful spirits around him were also very powerful. They were not as powerful as Gustys, but they were not much weaker.
