Jianchen could not help but smile. He was filled with joy as well. He had never thought that Nubis, who had been painstakingly working on a Saint Tier Battle Skill for several years, would finally emerge from seclusion and successfully modify a Saint Tier Battle Skill that was not suitable for him into a powerful one. This made Jianchen happy for Nubis.
In particular, when he sensed the powerful pressure in the surroundings, he became even more surprised. Although he had never experienced the Saint Tier Battle Skill that Nubis had modified, he could tell that the might of the Saint Tier Battle Skill that Nubis could erupt with was probably no weaker than the Seventh Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor's attack.
The golden dragon above Nubis' head began to revolve rapidly again. Surging pulses of energy surged out as the pressure in the surroundings slowly increased.
Jianchen knew that Nubis was not done venting yet. He was about to use the Saint Tier Battle Skill again. If they were outside, Jianchen obviously would not stop him, but this was the artifact space. This was his territory. He did not wish for his territory to be turned upside down by Nubis. As a result, Jianchen hurriedly said, "Nubis, stop. If you want to try the Saint Tier Battle Skill, try it outside. Don't cause trouble in the artifact space."
"Hahahaha, Jianchen, I, the great Nubis, have finally modified the Saint Tier Battle Skill that was only suitable for the Sea race into a Saint Tier Battle Skill that only belongs to me, Nubis. This Saint Tier Battle Skill was specially made for me. Aside from me, Golden-striped Silver Snakes, no other human or magical beast can use it. Jianchen, I'll let you have a taste of my Saint Tier Battle Skill. Take this!" Nubis laughed aloud. He was filled with excitement and pride. As soon as he finished speaking, the golden dragon above him let out a roar and charged toward Jianchen as a streak of golden light.
Jianchen became stern. Nubis was at the Third Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor, yet the Saint Tier Battle Skill he used actually made Jianchen feel a great pressure. Not only had Jianchen's presence been locked onto by the golden dragon, making it impossible for him to dodge, but even the space around him had become sticky. Not only did he feel like he had fallen into a swamp, but he also felt a heavy pressure from all directions. It was like a huge mountain was pressing down on him, greatly restricting his movements.
Jianchen's indifferent gaze sharpened at that moment as a powerful battle intent radiated from him. Although Jianchen was not afraid of Nubis' Saint Tier Battle Skill, he did not dare to be careless. Strands of Chaotic Body surged through his body, fusing with every inch of his flesh. Jianchen pushed the advantage of the Chaotic Body to the limit, forcing the sticky space around him back by a meter.
The Emperor Armament had silently appeared in his right hand. Violent and destructive Chaotic Force revolved around the Emperor Armament. Jianchen left behind an afterimage as he advanced instead of retreating. He took the initiative to face the charging golden dragon with an unstoppable force.
Boom! With a great boom, Jianchen clashed with the golden dragon. Terrifying ripples of energy wreaked havoc in the surroundings as golden storms of energy, dyeing the surroundings golden. It was dazzling.
The space in the center of the golden world violently trembled, blurring everything. If it were not for the fact that the artifact space was more stable than the outside world, the two of them probably would have ripped the space apart.
After a long while, the dazzling golden energy slowly receded. Jianchen's stalwart figure stood where the golden dragon had been. His clothes were rather disheveled and a small area had even been damaged, but his expression did not change at all. He remained as composed as before. The ground beneath his feet had vanished, replaced by a huge crater that was over a hundred meters wide. His feet hovered in the air, not on the ground but in the air.
However, the golden serpentine dragon that Nubis had conjured with his Saint Tier Battle Skill had vanished.
A thousand meters away, Nubis blinked his eyes as he hovered in the air. He stared at Jianchen in some disbelief and cried out, "How is this possible? My Saint Tier Battle Skill has already reached the Seventh Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. Even a Seventh Heavenly Layer Holy Emperor would need to expend quite a lot of effort to block it, so how did you break through it so easily? Jianchen, what level of cultivation have you reached now? Have you reached the Eighth Heavenly Layer?"
Jianchen stowed the Emperor Armament away. He did not care about the slight damage on his body at all. With a single step, he crossed a thousand meters and arrived beside Nubis. He chuckled, "My strength is the same as yours, at the Third Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. However, if I use my full strength with the Emperor Armament, I should be able to reach the peak of the Seventh Heavenly Layer."
"I understand the Saint Tier Battle Skill that I've modified extremely well. I need a sliver of my origin energy to use it, so it's incomparable to regular Saint Tier Battle Skills. Even if your battle prowess has reached the peak of the Seventh Heavenly Layer, it's impossible for you to block my Saint Tier Battle Skill so easily," Nubis questioned. He still refused to believe that Jianchen's battle prowess was at the peak of the Holy Emperor's Seventh Heavenly Layer.
Jianchen thought about it and said, "Perhaps my Chaotic Force has gained a slight advantage."
Nubis nodded in agreement with that. He said, "The energy you use is strange. Looks like that really is the problem."
"Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Let's go out first. I just happen to run into some problems that I need your help with," Jianchen said.
Nubis's eyes lit up with that. He said, "I never thought that there would be a battle as soon as I emerged from seclusion. Let's go. I'll find someone to test the power of my Saint Tier Battle Skill on."
Jianchen shook his head in a rather speechless manner. Nubis really was a battle maniac, actually treating his problems as if he had encountered a powerful enemy. However, he did not explain anything. He left the artifact space with Nubis.
Arriving on a boundless sea, Nubis looked around. Aside from a small island in the distance, it was all boundless sea.
"Jianchen, didn't you say that you ran into some problems? Why can't I, the great Nubis, see a single enemy?" Nubis asked in doubt as he constantly looked around.
Jianchen glared at Nubis in an exasperated manner. He said, "I think you've become muddle-headed from your years of seclusion. I'm talking about something else, not a powerful enemy."
"Then what's the problem?" Nubis subconsciously asked. He then looked at the small island in the distance and immediately came to a realization. He said, "I understand now. Jianchen, let me, the great Nubis, guess. If I've guessed correctly, the problem you're talking about must be related to the Heavenly Enchantress, right?"
Before Jianchen could reply, Nubis said confidently, "Stop denying it. I knew it was definitely like that. Hmph, when I, the great Nubis, was still a Saint Ruler, I actually cowered before the Heavenly Enchantress. That was the greatest humiliation I've ever suffered in my life. However, she's an expert skilled in soul attacks, and the soul is the weakness of us magical beasts. But now that my strength has skyrocketed and my soul has been refined when I modified the Saint Tier Battle Skill, both my strength and soul are incomparable to before. Even if I have to face the Heavenly Enchantress who specializes in soul attacks again, I don't fear her at all. "
Nubis could not help but feel a sense of pride when he reached there. He said, "Jianchen, let's go to Three Saint Island. Let me, the great Nubis, experience the soul attacks of the Heavenly Enchantress and regain the face I lost back then." With that, Nubis flew toward the island.
Jianchen's heart skipped a beat. He knew extremely well that Nubis was basically courting death if he went to Three Saint Island right now. He was not the Heavenly Enchantress' opponent back then, so he was even less of an opponent now.
Jianchen quickly grabbed Nubis by the shoulder and forcefully dragged him back. He sternly said, "Nubis, don't blame me for not warning you. The Heavenly Enchantress' strength is incomparable to before. I think she's already at the level of the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. Her attacks are even more terrifying." Jian Chen could not help but think about how the Heavenly Enchantress had slumbered all the experts of the protector clan with a single song. He was certain that the Heavenly Enchantress had only played the song casually back then. If she had used her full strength, she would have been able to kill all the experts of the protector clan.
Even the Holy Emperor would not have been able to resist the terrifying power hidden within the song.
"What? She's already at the level of the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor?" Nubis paled in fright as he stared at Jianchen in disbelief.
"A few days ago, she only played a single song casually and defeated a powerful protector clan. Are you confident that you can still get back at her?" Jianchen asked.
Nubis could not help but shrink his neck when he heard that. He stared at Three Saint Island in slight fright, no longer daring to go over. The natural advantage of magical beasts was their tough bodies. Their battle prowess was far greater than humans of the same level, but they were not without weaknesses. Their only weakness was their soul. As a result, as a magical beast, Nubis would rather risk his life against someone who could use soul attacks than make an enemy out of someone who could use soul attacks.
"Nubis, I may have the battle prowess of the Holy Emperor, but my comprehension of the mysteries of the world is still at the level of a Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler. I can't rip open a Space Gate. I need to return to the Kingdom of Gesun immediately, so hurry up and create a Space Gate."
Only now did Nubis understand that Jianchen's problem was not what he had imagined it to be. It was that he could not create a Space Gate to return home quickly.
After learning that the Heavenly Enchantress had become so terrifying, Nubis no longer dared to stay any longer. He immediately created a Space Gate as quickly as he could and left with Jianchen.
Jianchen and Nubis returned to the Kingdom of Gesun together before summoning the four protectors of the Bloodsword sect. Under the lead of the protectors, they directly hurried to the Bloodsword sect.
Ruijin, Black Fish, and Honglian remained in the Changyang Prefecture of Lore City. They did not go with Jianchen. However, the three of them had given Jianchen a method of communication. As soon as Jianchen encountered an enemy he could not defeat, the three of them would rush over as quickly as possible.
