After the Heavenly Enchantress left, Jianchen remained where he was as he engaged in an intense battle with the Saint Rulers. The presences in the surroundings rapidly drew closer to him.
Jianchen kept the Saint Rulers busy all by himself, using the Illusory Flash to deal with them. He constantly stabbed out with the Dragon-slaying sword, leaving behind vicious wounds on their bodies. However, the wounds did not affect them at all.
In just a few seconds, five of the seven Saint Rulers had been cut to pieces by Jianchen. However, they immediately reassembled their bodies and continued to fight against Jianchen valiantly. They were undying.
Jianchen swung the Dragon-slaying sword as a black streak of light. A huge streak of light completely condensed from Chaotic Force shot toward the seven Saint Rulers, directly striking their waists and cutting them in half. The remaining sword Qi struck the rocks behind them, immediately producing a loud boom and sending rocks flying in all directions.
Jianchen had purposefully caused such a great disturbance to attract the attention of all the corpses and buy time for the Heavenly Enchantress to escape.
Jianchen's actions and his tremendous presence were like a lantern in the night to the corpses. It was just so eye-catching. The corpses that hurried over from all directions all charged toward Jianchen. They had been completely distracted by Jianchen, so they did not sense the Heavenly Enchantress' existence at all. They did not even sense a few corpses flying over her head.
Very soon, over a dozen corpses that were relatively closer arrived before Jianchen. They surrounded Jianchen and attacked him mercilessly. All of their attacks were extremely simple, always involving punches and kicks. They had completely forgotten about the battle techniques they knew when they were still alive, or it would have been impossible for Jianchen to stop over twenty opponents of the same level with his current strength.
Jianchen was stern. He moved through the gaps between the attacks of over twenty corpses as a series of blurs. Even though he was surrounded, he still moved about with ease.
At this moment, the Illusory Flash of a Thousand Shadows that he had mastered played a huge role.
More and more corpses rushed over from all directions. In just a few breaths of time, the number of Saint Ruler corpses attacking Jianchen had increased from twenty to fifty.
Jian Chen's constantly flickering figure gradually moved into the distance, attracting a group of corpses in the opposite direction from the Heavenly Enchantress. He caused quite a disturbance along the way just to attract the attention of all the corpses and prevent them from sensing the Heavenly Enchantress' presence.
At this moment, the violet-robed Heavenly Enchantress stood several kilometers away. She stared in Jianchen's direction with an extremely mixed expression. She could clearly hear the sounds of battle up ahead before gradually fading away. The corpses chased after Jianchen further and further away, leaving the region in the end.
"I hope you can come back alive." The Heavenly Enchantress softly murmured before quickly moving off into the distance with her zither, gradually disappearing into the darkness.
Jianchen had already been surrounded. The number of Saint Ruler corpses attacking him had increased to a hundred. Most of them were humans while a small portion were magical beasts. They all roared out like wild beasts as they constantly threw punches at Jianchen.
Jianchen had completely turned into a blur. Even though he had been surrounded by a hundred Saint Ruler corpses, he was not injured at all. The Illusory Flash of a Saint Ruler was an extremely profound movement technique. It might not be able to compare to Saint Rulers who had grasped Spatial Force, but no movement technique in the world could compare to it when it came to dodging. As a result, the several hundred Saint Ruler corpses did not even manage to touch the corner of Jianchen's clothes after so long.
Jianchen fled with the group of corpses. He constantly dodged their attacks along the way and did not injure them at all. The corpses were unkillable existences. With his current strength and what little Chaotic Force he had left, it was basically impossible for him to kill all the corpses to the point where they could not reform their bodies. At the same time, the longer the battle dragged on, the more corpses would gather in the surroundings. It would only make the situation more and more dangerous for him.
Jianchen only wanted to shake off all the corpses right now. He had no intention of fighting them at all.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! The corpses constantly threw punches at the rapidly moving Jianchen, but their fists all landed on the blurs left behind by Jianchen's Illusory Flash without any exception. However, a portion of their fists passed through the blurs left behind by Jianchen and landed on their comrades. They immediately produced a series of muffled sounds and were blown far away by the powerful force.
Roar!
At this moment, an earth-shaking roar rang out in the distance. A presence that was countless times more terrifying than the Saint Ruler corpses rapidly approached Jianchen from afar. The surging energy actually caused the mist above the Sea of Illusions to churn violently. It was extremely terrifying.
A sliver of shock immediately flashed through Jianchen's eyes. His heart became extremely heavy as he cried out, "Oh no, it must be a supreme expert at the level of the Holy Emperor!" Without any hesitation, Jianchen immediately fled as quickly as he could into the distance. Behind him, over a hundred Saint Ruler corpses pursued.
The Holy Emperor corpse flew over at a low altitude from afar with a surging presence. It moved extremely quickly. Even though it was only flying, it was already as fast as a Saint Ruler using Spatial Force. In just a few seconds, it arrived above Jianchen and directly swung a palm at Jianchen.
A terrifying energy whistled toward Jianchen. Although the Holy Emperor corpse's palm strike did not contain any abilities, the great power of the Holy Emperor still shocked Jianchen.
Jianchen's heart was extremely heavy, but he did not become flustered at all. This was not the first time he had faced a Holy Emperor, and although the Holy Emperor corpse before him possessed terrifying strength, it was completely incomparable to when he was alive. This was because he could not use Spatial Confinement to stop him from dodging, so he could only use a single attack.
Jianchen pushed the Illusory Flash to the limit. He immediately turned into a blur as he shot to the side with unbelievable speed. The terrifying energy from the Holy Emperor corpse's palm strike basically brushed past Jianchen and landed on the ground, allowing Jianchen to dodge it by a hair's breadth.
Boom!
With a violent rumble, it basically rang through the entire Sea of Stars. The Holy Emperor corpse's palm strike caused the ground to violently tremble. The ground in a radius of several dozen kilometers cracked, forming a thick, spiderweb-like crack.
At the same time, the violent ripples of energy surged out in all directions as a shockwave. Jianchen, who was closest to it, was immediately pushed back. He was unable to control himself, and his clothes had been reduced to tatters, revealing the golden silk armor woven from the Primordial Godsilk.
The difference between a Holy Emperor and a Saint Ruler was just far too great. Not only did the palm strike from the Holy Emperor send Jianchen flying, but it also sent over a hundred Saint Ruler corpses flying.
Not only did the palm strike send all the Saint Rulers flying, but the shockwave of energy had also destroyed many hidden formations, causing many complicated and profound diagrams to appear in the cracked ground.
Jianchen only landed on the ground in horrible shape after flying several kilometers away from the powerful energy. He immediately climbed to his feet in shock. Ignoring his tattered clothes, he immediately used the Illusory Flash to flee into the distance.
At this moment, another tremendous wave of energy attacked him from behind. Without any hesitation, Jianchen immediately used the Illusory Flash to the limit. He left behind an afterimage as he appeared twenty meters away in a single moment.
With another boom, the ground shook once again. Jianchen was blown away by the violent shockwave of energy again.
As he flew backwards, Jian Chen quickly regained control of his body and used the force of the impact to flee even faster into the distance. He knew that as long as he put some distance between himself and the corpses and carefully concealed his presence, it was possible for them to not discover him.
However, things did not go as Jianchen wished. With an ear-piercing sound, the Holy Emperor corpse caught up to him from behind several times faster than Jianchen. It arrived before Jianchen in the blink of an eye and blocked his path. It threw a powerful punch at Jianchen.
The punch did not possess any abilities, but the great force caused the space around it to twist violently.
Jianchen's face changed drastically. At this moment, he was in the air and had nowhere to borrow power from. He was unable to use the advantage of the Illusory Flash to its full potential. Moreover, he had used all of his strength to flee, so he had no strength to dodge the punch.
Jianchen gritted his teeth. Chaotic Force immediately filled his body, pushing the advantage of the Chaotic Body to the limit. The Dragonslayer sword in his right hand stabbed at the incoming fist of the Holy Emperor corpse.
The Dragonslayer sword stabbed deeply into the fist of the Holy Emperor corpse with destructive Chaotic Force. It then pierced through the entire right arm of the Holy Emperor corpse. The sharp tip of the sword pierced through his shoulder. At the same time, the punch of the Holy Emperor corpse landed on Jianchen's chest.
Jianchen's golden armor immediately shone with a hazy golden light to block the punch. Although the armor could block the attacks of Saint Rulers, it was still powerless against the attack of the Holy Emperor. The golden light was quickly suppressed by the fist, and it landed heavily on Jianchen's chest in the end.
