Suddenly, the yellow sand below began to violently undulate. A divine temple broke through the yellow sand and slowly rose up from below with a great power.
"That's the Darkness Divine Hall of the Underworld sect." Jiang Wang immediately cried out when he saw the huge divine hall slowly rise up from the sand. He became stern as well. Although they knew that Jianchen had a way to destroy the divine hall, the indestructible defenses of the divine hall still pressured them greatly. This was because if they could not destroy the divine hall, they would not be able to harm the assassins hiding in there. They needed the strength of a Saint Emperor to destroy the divine hall.
Every single divine hall on the Tian Yuan Continent was created by a Holy Emperor. They possessed the power of the Holy Emperor.
Although the power could not be used to harm the people outside the divine hall, it could provide the divine hall with the greatest defense. It was not something that a Holy Emperor could destroy. Even a Holy Emperor at Great Perfection would not be able to do so.
"My Underworld sect has existed on the Tian Yuan Continent for several tens of thousands of years. How can a mere Bloodsword sect like you destroy us? Even Houston from a thousand years ago was unable to destroy my Underworld sect with his supreme strength. I'd like to see just how you plan on destroying my Underworld sect today," Luo Qi's voice rang out from within the divine hall. Luo Qi's furious voice rang out from the huge divine hall. The divine hall rapidly expanded under his control before flying above their heads. It crushed down on them with a tremendous pressure.
Jianchen sneered. A piece of jade had already silently appeared in his hand. With a slight squeeze, the jade was crushed to pieces.
"Sect master, retreat!" Jiang Wang said to Jianchen before quickly retreating with the five elders and four protectors. They wanted to leave the range of the divine hall. Although the divine hall did not possess any offensive power, none of them wanted to be smashed into the sand by it.
However, just when Jiang Wang and the others had retreated several dozen steps and had yet to leave the range of the divine hall, a Spatial Force suddenly appeared near Jianchen. Ten meters away from Jianchen, the space there violently pulsed. In the next moment, a crack was ripped open, forming a colorful Space Gate.
Almost the moment the Space Gate formed, a tremendous pressure surged out of the Space Gate in a blanket manner, filling the entire region. The air seemed to stop flowing before the tremendous pressure. Even the space there became viscous. The experts of the Bloodsword sect who were retreating nearby all came to a halt. Other than Jiang Wang, who was at the Third Heavenly Layer of Saint King, the five elders and protectors all felt like they were about to suffocate. They did not even have the ability to breathe properly before the tremendous pressure.
Apart from the four protectors, Jiang Wang and the five elders were all shocked. The pressure was far greater than what the sect master Houston had faced in the past, making them think that they were facing an expert at the level of the Holy Emperor.
The divine hall above them continued to rapidly descend. The huge base of the divine hall loomed over them like a dark cloud, blotting out the sun.
At the same time, Ruijin, Honglian, and Black Fish emerged from the Space Gate side by side. As soon as they arrived, they discovered the divine hall that was rapidly descending above them. A sliver of disdain immediately appeared in their eyes.
Ruijin slowly raised his hand and used his right hand to support the divine hall above him. With a muffled sound, Ruijin's hand made contact with the divine hall. The divine hall actually came to a halt. The divine hall was actually stopped in the air by a single hand from Ruijin.
The eyes of Jiang Wang, the five elders, and the four protectors all narrowed when they saw this. Stopping an entire divine hall with a single hand was definitely not something a Great Perfection expert like the Holy Emperor could do. At that moment, Jiang Wang and the five elders were stunned by Ruijin's supreme strength. Although they had heard rumors that Jianchen had three supreme experts who were no weaker than the Holy Emperor by his side, that was just a rumor after all. They all believed that the rumors were exaggerated, but now that they had seen it for themselves, the rumors were indeed true. To be able to stop a rapidly descending divine hall with a single hand and still maintain a calm demeanor, only the Holy Emperor could do something like that.
Aside from the four protectors of the Bloodsword sect who had seen Ruijin's group in action, Jiang Wang and the five elders' gazes toward Ruijin's group underwent a drastic change. They did not hide their respect at all.
At this moment, Rui Jin's hand suddenly shook and immediately erupted with a thunderous rumble. The divine hall actually flew high into the air from the shake.
"The Holy Emperor? You're the Holy Emperor? Impossible, this is impossible. Aside from the path lord of carnal desires, there's no other Holy Emperor on the Tian Yuan Continent, "Luo Qi's voice rang out in Jiang Wang's head. Luo Qi's terrified voice rang out from the divine hall. However, he soon seemed to think of something and could not help but cry out, "I know. You're the three magical beasts that follow the captain of the Flame Mercenaries …"
No one paid any attention to Luo Qi, even though he was a Fifth Heavenly Layer Holy Emperor. At the same time, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared. Ruijin had drawn the Sacred Dragon's Sword above his head. Ruijin gripped the sword as his presence rapidly skyrocketed. He directly swung the sword at the divine hall.
A hundred-meter-long strand of golden sword Qi appeared as soon as he swung the sword. It was filled with origin energy. This was a power that only those who had surpassed the Holy Emperor and reached the Origin realm could control. Even the Holy Emperor needed to avoid it.
The hundred-meter-long strand of golden sword Qi struck the divine hall, immediately causing it to rumble. The entire divine hall violently shook before being cleaved in half under the disbelieving gazes of Jianchen and the experts of the Bloodsword sect.
The divine hall of the Underworld sect had actually been cleaved apart by a single strike from Ruijin.
"No … impossible, this is impossible …" Luo Qi's cry of shock and disbelief rang out from the shattered Darkness Divine Palace. The Darkness Divine Palace had always been the Underworld Sect's greatest reliance. It was their greatest means of survival. Now, it had actually been split into two by the enemy's sword. Such terrifying divine might made Luo Qi tremble in fear. .
Honglian and Black Fish were also secretly stunned as they stared at the fallen divine hall. Although the two of them could still smash through the divine hall with the power of their origin energy weapons, they definitely could not do it as easily as Ruijin, cleaving the divine hall in half with a single strike.
"Ruijin, you should be breaking through soon." Honglian suddenly turned her head and stared at Ruijin. A red light flickered in her eyes, as if flames were leaping about.
Ruijin put away the Sacred Dragon's Sword and said indifferently, "I've already touched on that barrier. I believe I can become a Saint Emperor in fifty years."
Jianchen was surprised when he heard that, but he soon became overjoyed. He said excitedly, "Senior Ruijin, you're about to become a Holy Emperor?"
Ruijin smiled when he saw how excited Jianchen was. He said, "The reason why there are so few Holy Emperors in the world right now is none other than the lack of origin energy. My Sacred Dragon's Sword and Sacred Dragon's Armor both contain origin energy, so breaking through to become a Holy Emperor obviously won't be a problem. It's the same for Honglian and Black Fish. All we lack is time."
Jianchen sucked in a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down. However, he was unable to suppress the joy in his heart, as if he could already see Ruijin and the other two becoming Holy Emperor in several decades.
Boom! Boom!
At this moment, two booms rang out nearby. The divine hall that had been cleaved in half by Ruijin could no longer remain airborne, so it fell into the desert. Countless black-robed assassins quickly charged out of the ruined divine hall, fleeing into the distance as quickly as they could.
"Don't let a single one of them escape. Kill!" Jianchen's eyes turned cold. He immediately ordered the experts of the Bloodsword sect before using the Illusory Flash to arrive above the divine hall. The Emperor Armament turned into a net of swords that enveloped the assassins who had just emerged from the divine hall, killing them in the blink of an eye.
Vice-sect leader Jiang Wang, the five elders, and the four protectors all moved to hunt down the fleeing assassins of the Underworld sect. Although they were Saint Rulers and could not commit too many killings, they could not care less if they wanted to destroy the Underworld sect in a single stroke.
Even if they killed too many people and triggered Celestial Decay, it was built on the fact that they had killed hundreds of thousands or even more people. The Underworld sect only had a few thousand people right now, and all of them were assassins whose hands were stained with blood. As Saint Rulers, they did not need to worry about Celestial Decay at all.
The destruction of the Underworld Sect's greatest reliance, the Darkness Shrine, had also left a huge psychological shadow on the many assassins of the Underworld Sect. Their morale was low, and they no longer had the courage to fight. As soon as they rushed out of the shrine, they immediately fled as far as they could.
Jiang Wang, the five elders, and the four protectors all unleashed their full strength to kill the fleeing assassins of the Underworld sect. Below Saint Ruler, all of them were ants. Even Heaven Saint Masters were powerless before their Saint Ruler abilities. With a single thought, they could freeze a region of space, trapping several or even more assassins and killing them effortlessly.
At this moment, more than ten black-robed men dressed like the assassins of the Underworld Sect rushed out of the temple among the crowd. As soon as they arrived outside, their figures merged with the space and turned into a series of afterimages, escaping at an unbelievable speed.
"It's the Saint Rulers of the Underworld sect. Don't let a single one of them escape!" Jiang Wang bellowed out. He abandoned the immobilized Heaven Saint Masters that he had frozen in space and chased after a Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler.
The five elders and four protectors of the Bloodsword sect all abandoned the small fries in their hands and chased after the fleeing Saint Rulers of the Underworld sect.
Ruijin suddenly formed a seal with his hands and called out, "Secret technique of the Dragon clan, Dragon's Domain!" With that, a ring of golden light expanded from Ruijin and rapidly expanded. It expanded in all directions at an unbelievable speed, enveloping a radius of over a thousand kilometers in the blink of an eye.
