Ruijin, Honglian, and Black Fish returned to Jianchen's side with sunken faces. Their faces were rather pale. Although they were protected by origin energy armor, the skeleton was just too powerful, so they were still slightly injured.
"This skeleton's strength has already surpassed the Holy Emperor's level. The three of us can't stop it. If we fight it for too long, we'll still end up heavily injured even with our origin energy treasures," Ruijin said with a heavy voice.
Ruijin's words reached the ears of all the Holy Emperor experts present, causing their hearts to become extremely heavy. They all knew that although the three of them were only at the Great Perfection of the Holy Emperor, their true battle prowess had already reached the same level as the Holy Emperor. They were the most powerful people present. If even they could not deal with the skeleton, no one could.
"Surpassing the Holy Emperor, surpassing the Holy Emperor. It's said that surpassing the Holy Emperor is a power on a completely different level. Compared to the Holy Emperor, the Holy Emperor is like a chasm. It's impossible to fight back because it's on a completely different level," a protector of the protector clan said in a trembling voice. A great elder of a protector clan said with a trembling voice. Fear and despair filled his eyes at the same time. Saint Emperors were as weak as ants before a power that had surpassed Saint Emperors, let alone them, who were far weaker than Saint Emperors.
"The exit has already been sealed by the skeleton. We're all going to die here today …"
"My family still needs me to protect it. Without me, those enemies will definitely not let my family off. It seems that my family will not be able to escape this calamity …" Zhang Tie thought.
"It doesn't matter if I die. What's important is that the Tian Yuan Continent still needs our protection. Otherwise, the Tian Yuan Continent won't have the power to stop the invasion of the Beast God Continent and the Hundred Races …"
Everyone sighed one after another. Many of them were filled with unwillingness, unwilling to fall here like this.
Jianchen also let out the White Tiger during this time, but he was still disappointed. The White Tiger's countless formations and barriers were completely ineffective here. It was unable to pass through like before.
At this moment, Jianchen thought about what Tie Ta had said. His Mysteries of War could break through the shackles of space, so he hesitated over whether he should let Tie Ta try it or not. He wanted to see if his Mysteries of War could pass through the formations and take them away.
Just when Jianchen wanted to let Tie Ta out of the artifact space, the entire Death Nest suddenly shook violently. With a great rumble, the barrier of the third floor shook violently, and it actually showed signs of shattering.
Following that, a second and a third gigantic rumbling sound rang out, causing the powerful formation on the third floor of the Death Nest to tremble even more violently. In the end, the formation was actually torn apart under everyone's incredulous gazes. A crack several dozen meters wide appeared.
At this moment, the Baleful Yin Force was less than a thousand meters away from everyone. Once they came in contact with the Baleful Yin Force, they would not be able to survive even if they were Holy Emperor level experts. This was because the Baleful Yin Force was countless times more terrifying than the Baleful Yin Force that Houston possessed.
"Run!"
Someone bellowed out from the crowd, and the group of supreme Holy Emperor experts immediately fled as quickly as they could. At this moment, all of them were focused on fleeing for their lives. They no longer had the time to think about how the crack had appeared.
The blood-red skeleton was enraged. It produced a soundless roar and began to chase after everyone. It swung its bone club forward, and the moment it fell, the club that was several dozen meters long actually became several thousand meters long. It smashed the body of a Holy Emperor expert at the very back to pieces. His soul was dispersed by the terrifying force before it could even escape.
Afterward, the blood-red skeleton swung its bone club again. The scarlet bone club was surrounded by a dense layer of Baleful Yin Force as it smashed down with lightning speed, enveloping over a dozen Holy Emperor experts below.
Suddenly, a resplendent streak of light appeared, illuminating the surroundings. It dispersed the boundless Yin Force and grudges in the Death Nest as it shot over from afar with unbelievable speed.
It was an extremely terrifying blade of light. It was crescent-shaped and shone with a dazzling light. The blade of light seemed to have broken through the boundaries of space. It was still far away in the previous moment, but in the next moment, it had swept over the heads of all the Holy Emperor experts with a sharp blade Qi. It charged toward the bone club with an unstoppable force. It was filled with a supreme sense of dominance.
Boom!
The moment the terrifying blade of light collided with the bone club, it immediately erupted with a deafening boom. The powerful ripples of energy wreaked havoc in the Death Nest as a terrifying storm, forcing all the Holy Emperor experts to stagger. They struggled to control their bodies.
The blade of light blocked the bone club from the blood-red skeleton, saving the lives of over a dozen Holy Emperor experts. The blood-red skeleton stumbled a few steps back uncontrollably as its body trembled. A terrifying crack appeared on the bone club in its hand.
At this moment, all the Holy Emperor experts had left the third zone of the Death Nest and arrived in the second zone. None of them continued to flee. Instead, they could not help but stop. They stared in the direction of the blood-red skeleton and the blade of light in shock.
"Who's attacking from the shadows? They're actually able to unleash such a terrifying attack against that terrifying skeleton …"
"If I'm not mistaken, that flash of white light just now was a huge saber light. Who was it that released it …"
"It's beyond the Holy Emperor. That's a power that surpasses the Holy Emperor. The senior who unleashed that blade of light must have reached that supreme level …"
"Impossible. Is there really such an expert among us humans? That's impossible. Other than the four sovereigns who appeared in ancient times, there hasn't been a fifth sovereign on the Tian Yuan Continent in all these years …"
"I- is it a sovereign of the arctic Ice Goddess Hall who secretly interfered …"
"Yeah, it must be a sovereign of the extremely mysterious Ice Goddess Hall who secretly interfered. Although the Ice Goddess Hall never interferes with the matters of the Tian Yuan Continent, they probably don't want to see so many experts die here …"
"I don't believe it's the Ice Goddess Hall. It's impossible for the Ice Goddess Hall to have a sovereign. It must be the sea goddess who secretly interfered because she's the only one who's still alive out of the four sovereigns of ancient times …"
…
The human experts were thrown into an uproar. Someone who had surpassed the Holy Emperor had actually secretly assisted them in such a hopeless situation. Just how exciting was this news? It made everyone extremely excited. They all felt like they had grasped onto a life-saving straw, seeing new hope.
The blood-red skeleton became even more furious. Baleful Yin Force churned violently, endlessly pouring into the blood-red ground. Immediately, streaks of dazzling, blood-red light appeared from the ground, weaving together haphazardly. This was actually a formation hidden in the ground. It had been activated by the skeleton's Baleful Yin Force, revealing itself from the ground.
The formation began to operate. The endless Yin Force in the third zone of the Death Nest seemed to be affected by the formation. It began to churn violently in the air, and under the disbelieving gazes of the Holy Emperor experts, the Yin Force and grudges actually fused together, turning into a blood-red ball of Baleful Yin Force.
"I finally understand now. The Baleful Yin Force here is formed from the fusion of the Yin Force and grudges …"
"This is all because of the formation on the ground. Only with the activation of the formation can the Yin Force and grudges fuse together …"
"The Death Nest was cast down by Mo Tianyun all those years ago. Was the formation on the ground left behind by Mo Tianyun as well? Why did he do that? "
Many human experts came to a realization, but they soon became extremely confused. All of them were curious as to why Mo Tianyun had left this place behind.
The Saints' Fruit was definitely not the main reason. Perhaps it was just a cover.
Yin Qi and resentment fused together, forming even more Baleful Yin Qi. Right now, all the Yin Qi and resentment in the third zone had practically disappeared. Only a thick, blood-red fog remained. Soon after, the boundless Baleful Yin Qi formed a huge, ferocious, and terrifying ghost face. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it lunged at everyone.
With a flash of dazzling light, the resplendent blade of light appeared once again. It was filled with supreme dominance, directly cleaving down from the first zone. Its target was the dense Baleful Yin Force.
When the blade of light collided with the Baleful Yin Force, it actually forced back the mist that made all the Holy Emperor experts pale. The terrifying blade of light did not slow down at all, slicing through the Baleful Yin Force in an extremely domineering manner. It struck the blood-red skeleton.
Boom!
With a boom, a several-dozen-meter-long wound appeared on the Blood-red Skeleton. Half of its tough bones had been shattered by the flash of light, and its huge body staggered back. This time, it took over a dozen steps before stabilizing itself.
The Holy Emperor experts in the second zone were stunned. Just a single blade of light had forced back the blood-red skeleton that had surpassed the Holy Emperor. Just what kind of power was this?
Such an existence had completely exceeded all of their imaginations. They didn't even dare to believe that there was such a terrifying expert hidden in the world.
Ruijin, Honglian, and Black Fish were shocked as well. They could obviously sense just how terrifying the blade of light was. Even with origin energy weapons, they were unable to unleash such power.
