The Holy Emperor experts from the protector clans and ancient clans immediately charged in the direction of the battle.
Basically all the Holy Emperor vengeful spirits in the third zone of the Death Nest had gathered around the Saints' Fruit, so there were very few vengeful spirits in the third zone. As a result, the journey of the protector clans and ancient clans was extremely smooth. They did not come across a single vengeful spirit as they made their way to the center of the battle.
However, when they arrived, each and every one of them was dumbfounded. Everyone was dumbfounded as they stared at the scene in front of them. The shock in their hearts had reached an extreme level.
There were over five hundred vengeful spirits in front of them. They formed a black mass as they pressed down on the same spot. Various powerful attacks were launched from the vengeful spirits, drowning out the space there and causing the ground to rumble as the attacks struck it.
From time to time, dazzling golden sword Qi would shoot out from the encirclement formed by countless vengeful spirits. There were also strands of white flames that gave off a terrifying temperature. However, no one could see the person surrounded by the vengeful spirits.
"They can actually block the attacks of so many Holy Emperor vengeful spirits. Only the Holy Emperor can do something like that, but our Tian Yuan Continent only has one Holy Emperor, the path lord of carnal desires. However, they're clearly not the path lord. Who are they? Are they Holy Emperor experts from the Beast God Continent? "
"No, they're not any of the three supreme experts of the Beast God Continent. Their presences are completely different."
"Is the path lord of carnal desires not the only Saint Emperor on the Tian Yuan Continent?"
…
The ancestors of the protector clans and ancient clans were all shocked. There were extremely few Holy Emperor experts in the current world. Even with the entire world in perspective, they could be counted on one hand. Now that two Holy Emperor experts had suddenly appeared, it was definitely an extremely shocking piece of news.
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying pulse of energy erupted. A huge, resplendent sword Qi, a dazzling white blade of light, and a three-meter-long burning hairpin pierced through the encirclement of vengeful spirits at the same time. Wherever they passed, the vengeful spirits of the Holy Emperor would be reduced to black mist. Over twenty vengeful spirits of the Holy Emperor were dispersed.
An opening appeared in the encirclement of the Holy Emperor vengeful spirits. Ruijin and Honglian immediately charged out and continued to approach the Saints' Fruit. They were getting closer and closer to it now.
"It's them! It's actually the dragon and the other powerful magical beast that fought the path lord and the Holy Emperor of the Beast God Continent," many people immediately recognized Ruijin and the others as soon as they appeared. Cries rang out everywhere.
"They have origin energy weapons that can harm the Holy Emperor, origin energy armor that prevents the Holy Emperor from injuring them, and a wondrous bead that protects their souls. They're only able to survive the encirclement of so many Holy Emperor vengeful spirits because of these three treasures," a Holy Emperor from an ancient clan enviously explained.
"If I had these three treasures, I would be able to slaughter my way out of the encirclement of so many vengeful spirits of the Holy Emperor," someone thought inside. He struggled to hide his envy and jealousy.
"The Saints' Fruit! That's the Saints' Fruit!" Suddenly, a cry rang out from the crowd. With that, everyone immediately focused their attention. As expected, they discovered an ordinary-looking tree growing all by itself on the scarlet ground. It had nine leaves, and a fist-sized fruit had condensed at the center of the nine leaves. It shone with a dim light, returning to its original state. It was simple and plain, just like an ordinary fruit.
The people gathered there all came from ancient organizations with long legacies. The records of their clans possessed extremely detailed records of the Saints' Fruit, so they immediately recognized it as soon as they saw it.
Everyone's eyes began to burn with desire. At that moment, an extremely great desire to possess the Saints' Fruit appeared from the bottom of their hearts. It was very difficult to reach Saint Emperor in the current world, so the Saints' Fruit was the only shortcut to becoming a Holy Emperor. No one could resist this great temptation.
Now, no one paid attention to Ruijin's group anymore. The Saints' Fruit had attracted all their attention. In the next moment, all the people from the protector clans and the ancient clans charged toward the Saints' Fruit as quickly as they could.
Their movements immediately alarmed a portion of the vengeful spirits of the Holy Emperor that were attacking Ruijin's group. Immediately, close to two hundred vengeful spirits of the Holy Emperor separated, blocking the path of the people from the protector clans as streaks of black light. The two sides immediately began to engage in an intense battle.
Over a hundred human Holy Emperor and two hundred vengeful spirits of the Holy Emperor engaged in an extremely intense battle. The human Holy Emperor wanted to break free from the vengeful spirits of the Holy Emperor in the shortest amount of time possible so that they could obtain the Saints' Fruit. As a result, they did not hold back at all as they used various powerful Saint Tier Battle Skills and ancient secret techniques.
Tremendous ripples of energy shook the surroundings as if they were about to destroy the world. Storms of energy whistled by, causing the black mist in the Death Nest to churn violently. The hundred human Holy Emperor experts were actually on par with two or more Holy Emperor vengeful spirits.
Although the Holy Emperor vengeful spirits were extremely powerful existences when they were still alive, their strength had been drastically reduced as vengeful spirits. At the same time, the human experts had also grasped powerful Saint Tier Battle Skills and ancient secret techniques. As a result, the Holy Emperor experts could hold their own against the vengeful spirits of the Holy Emperor in a one-on-one battle unless they encountered an existence as powerful as Gustys.
The pressure on Ruijin, Honglian, and Black Fish immediately lessened. The three of them let out a sigh of relief inside as they secretly thanked the people of the protector clans. Their arrival had reduced their pressure by quite a lot.
At this moment, another group of people charged over from behind with lightning speed. They were the second group of Holy Emperor experts that had entered the Death Nest. They did not possess any ancient legacies, so they did not know about the Saints' Fruit.
However, all the people who could become Holy Emperor were extremely intelligent. All of them knew that the Saints' Fruit hid something that the protector clans coveted.
"There's a small tree over there with a fruit growing on it. It must be an extremely precious heavenly resource," someone from the second group of people saw the Saints' Fruit and said loudly.
The hearts of the people from the protector clans and ancient clans sank slightly. All of them quickly retreated, drawing a large number of vengeful spirits back to the second group of people, pulling them in as well.
With the addition of the second group of people, the two hundred or so Holy Emperor vengeful spirits were immediately no match for the Holy Emperor experts. Many of the Holy Emperor vengeful spirits had already been dispersed.
Immediately, another two hundred or so Holy Emperor vengeful spirits abandoned Ruijin's group of three and aggressively charged toward the group of human Holy Emperor experts.
With that, the Holy Emperor vengeful spirits attacking Ruijin's group was immediately reduced to less than two hundred. Ruijin's group was overjoyed. They unleashed their full strength without holding back at all. They slaughtered their way out and rapidly approached the Saints' Fruit.
"The Saints' Fruit is a treasure of our human race. Outsiders can't take it away!" Yi Yangzi immediately flew into a rage when he discovered the intentions of Ruijin's group. He bellowed out and immediately abandoned the Holy Emperor vengeful spirits that he had suppressed. He charged toward Ruijin with the other experts from the protector clans in an attempt to stop them.
"You think you can stop me with just the likes of you? You overestimate yourselves," Jian Chen coldly said. Honglian said coldly. The Scorching Godfire Hairpin immediately shot out a large swathe of white flames that enveloped Yi Yangzi's group.
Yi Yangzi's group changed in expression and immediately dodged. However, a Holy Emperor at the eighth Heavenly Layer of Holy Emperor was still a step too slow. His lower body was swept by the white flames and his legs immediately began to burn. His flesh was burnt to a crisp, but the terrifying white flames did not extinguish because of that. Instead, they rapidly spread from his legs to his upper body.
"Argh!" That person let out a miserable shriek. His lower body was disappearing bit by bit. The white flames possessed unimaginable power and could not be extinguished at all.
This was the fire from the origin energy weapon, the Scorching Godfire Hairpin. It was countless times more powerful than the flames that Honglian could control.
Swish!
With a flash of light, a Holy Emperor struck out decisively and cut his companion in half. Only then did he stop the terrifying consequences of the white flames spreading to his upper body.
"What terrifying flames!" This scene stunned all the Holy Emperor experts. Many of them were filled with fear towards the white flames.
"How can we allow outsiders to lay a finger on the sacred items of our human race?" The battle between the vengeful spirits and the human experts continued. At this moment, an old voice sounded. Four white-haired old men with ruddy complexions sat cross-legged in mid-air. Their bodies were steaming with hydrogen gas, as if they were immortals. Around a dozen Saint Kings stood guard around the four of them, fending off the attacks of the vengeful spirits in the surroundings.
"It's the people from the Shenxiao sect. Looks like they're about to use the Heaven's Thunder …"
"It's rumored that the Heaven's Thunder is the supreme divine technique of the Shenxiao sect. It can summon the lightning above the nine heavens. It once destroyed a Holy Emperor's body and soul, reducing him to charcoal."
