The saint artifact shook violently in Ling Yuanzi's hand. It wanted to break free, but no matter how hard it tried, it was unable to do so. Ling Yuanzi's hand was like a steel clamp, firmly holding the saint artifact in place.
Ling Yuanzi's hair was disheveled. He looked at the saint artifact in his hand viciously and laughed aloud, "I never thought that this would be a treasure that can store a living person. From today onwards, this treasure belongs to me, Ling Yuanzi. Jianchen, you've injured Old Man's soul, so Old Man will accept your treasure as compensation."
Hum!
The saint artifact shook even more violently as it began to shine with a bright golden light. However, even though the Artifact Spirit possessed the strength of the Holy Emperor within the saint artifact, it was just too weak due to its innate limitations. Even a Saint Ruler would be able to restrain it, let alone a supreme expert like the Holy Emperor.
"Jianchen, you better give up. I'd like to see how you escape from Old Man. Once Old Man takes you back to the clan, he'll have plenty of ways to deal with you," Ling Yuanzi sneered. Ling Yuanzi sneered. He covered his hand with a layer of powerful Saint Force, binding the saint artifact within. With a wave of his hand, he ripped open a Space Gate and was about to leave.
At this moment, a tremendous force suddenly appeared. It viciously struck toward Ling Yuanzi with devastating might.
The force had arrived far too suddenly and far too quickly, giving Ling Yuanzi no time to react. It had completely locked onto Ling Yuanzi's presence, making it impossible for him to dodge.
At the same time, the terrifying power of the soul permeated the air, forcefully collapsing the Space Gate that Ling Yuanzi had created.
Ling Yuanzi bellowed out. He no longer bothered with suppressing his wounds as he unleashed a full-powered attack to fend off the powerful force surging toward him.
His Saint Artifact shone brightly as powerful pulses of energy flooded the surroundings. Afterward, he swung down with great force. The terrifying attack obliterated space, causing darkness to appear.
Boom!
The two of them collided. Ling Yuanzi was no match for Ye Xiwen, and suffered heavy injuries once again. He spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying. His expression became dispirited, and he was already extremely weak.
The sacred artifact that was bound in Ling Yuanzi's hand took this opportunity to break free from the demonic claw. It turned into a golden beam of light and smashed into the vast sea below, disappearing without a trace.
Ling Yuanzi was greatly shocked. The strength of the person who acted in the dark was far too terrifying. It was definitely far beyond his own, which made him extremely shocked.
Ling Yuanzi struggled to hover in the air. He quickly took out a piece of jade from his Space Ring and crushed it without hesitation. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
"I wonder who it was that secretly made a move against us, the ten great guardian clans, and spoiled our plans." Ling Yuanzi's confidence suddenly became abundant as he struggled to speak loudly.
Bi Yifei arrived before Ling Yuanzi with Bi Yifei. He stared at the surroundings cautiously. The person who had acted in the dark was far too powerful. Even Bi Yifei did not have absolute confidence in victory when he was at his peak, let alone when he was heavily injured right now.
At this moment, a faint humanoid figure suddenly appeared a hundred meters in front of Ling Yuanzi and the others. She was a tall woman in a blue dress. She seemed to be in her twenties, and her long blue hair cascaded down to her feet like a waterfall. Her face was illusory, blurry, and impossible to see clearly. She naturally gave off a unique aura, filled with holiness and nobility. She was sacred and inviolable, making it impossible for people to have the slightest thought of profaning her.
The moment they saw the woman, both Bi Yifei and Ling Yuanzi, who had reached the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor, were surprised. This was because the two of them actually felt an urge to kneel and worship the mysterious woman.
The appearance of this feeling left the two of them extremely shocked. This was because even the path lord of carnal desires who had reached the level of the Holy Emperor and Lankyros would not make them feel like this.
"Who are you!?" Ling Yuanzi called out. He was no longer as confident as before. He could sense just how powerful and terrifying the mysterious woman was.
"Humans, you've already set foot in the territory of my Sea race. Leave immediately," the illusionary woman spoke calmly and coldly. She did not show any emotions at all.
Ling Yuanzi was surprised. He asked with a heavy voice, "Are you the Holy Emperor of the Sea race?"
"I am the goddess of the Sea race!" The illusionary woman's voice remained indifferent.
"What! Poseidon!? "
Bi Yifei and Ling Yuanzi turned pale with fright. They staggered backwards as a storm raged in their hearts.
"Leave my Sea Race's territory within three breaths." The illusory woman left behind her final words before disappearing without a trace.
However, her appearance was a huge shock to Bi Yifei and Ling Yuanzi. The two of them were stunned on the spot, and their minds stopped thinking. When they came back to their senses, they did not dare to stay any longer. They threw Jianchen and the Winged Tiger to the back of their minds as they fled for their lives.
Poseidon was a supreme expert who had surpassed the level of the Holy Emperor. Who in the world could rival him?
Not long after, Ling Yuanzi met up with the people from the Yiyuan Sect. He immediately told the great elders of the Yiyuan Sect everything that had happened in detail.
"What? Poseidon is still alive?"
The great elders of the Yiyuan Sect all paled in fright when they heard Ling Yuanzi's report. They were shocked. The news was like a clap of thunder to them. It was just too unbelievable.
"Let's return immediately. We'll urgently call for the ten protector clans and Mercenary City to discuss this matter together," the people from the Yiyuan Sect quickly left the sea realm with Bi Yifei.
…
At this moment, a saint artifact that shone with a faint golden light hovered in a pitch-black cave. After escaping from Ling Yuanzi, the saint artifact had sunk to the bottom of the sea. In the end, it passed through a powerful barrier without any obstruction and entered another world. It hid in a cave.
Although the world existed at the bottom of the sea, the sky was enveloped by an extremely powerful barrier. It pushed away all the water, forming an independent space in the underwater world.
Within the artifact space, Jianchen and Nubis were both being healed by the Radiant Saint Force origin energy of the Artifact Spirit. The two of them were enveloped by a layer of dense, milky-white light as their wounds rapidly healed.
This time, the two of them had withstood an attack from the Holy Emperor, so their wounds were extremely severe. Nubis had to spend an entire day to completely recover. As for Jianchen, he had been injured by the Holy Emperor's Saint Tier Battle Skill. The power of laws that was unique to Saint Tier Battle Skills still remained within him, making his wounds even more severe. It was difficult for him to heal.
"This Saint Tier Battle Skill really is powerful. It's impossible for a single strand of origin energy to completely heal the wounds left behind by a Saint Tier Battle Skill. The Artifact Spirit stood before Jianchen and channeled several strands of Radiant Saint Force origin energy into Jianchen's body, slowly healing the wounds left behind by the Saint Tier Battle Skill.
The origin energy that the Artifact Spirit controlled was much more powerful than Jianchen's, so it would be even more effective with his assistance.
After using several strands of origin energy, Jianchen's wounds finally healed completely. However, he could not change the fact that he had lost five hundred years of life from using God's Descent.
As a result, Jianchen clearly felt a wave of weakness even though his wounds had healed.
"Artifact Spirit, what's the situation outside right now?" The first thing Jianchen did after recovering was to ask Jianchen about the situation outside.
"Master, we're safe now. We've arrived at the territory of the Sea race," said the Artifact Spirit.
Jian Chen finally let out a sigh of relief when he heard that. He gently sighed, "It's a pity that the God's Descent I cast failed to kill the two of them at the cost of five hundred years of my life."
"Jianchen, you should be satisfied. The two of them have both reached the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor, yet they've been heavily injured by you. Their souls have been damaged to the point where it's difficult to heal, so they've already paid an extremely heavy price. In the end, you even forced the old man to use a Saint Tier Battle Skill," said Nubis.
"If it weren't for the fact that the Saint Tier Battle Skill destroyed my God's Descent, I would have been able to kill the two of them. If I cast God's Descent at the cost of a thousand years of life, I would have been able to forcefully endure their Saint Tier Battle Skill before killing them, "said Han Chen indifferently. He felt rather regretful inside. He had been so close to killing the two Holy Emperor experts this time.
"A thousand years of life!" Nubis immediately leapt up. He glared at Jianchen and said, "Jianchen brat, are you tired of living? Five hundred years is already frightening enough, yet you want to sacrifice a thousand years of life to kill two Holy Emperor experts? How can you do something so uneconomical? With your talent, you'll probably reach the level of the Holy Emperor in a thousand years. By then, you'll have the power to kill your way into the protector clans. Why are you in such a hurry? "
Jianchen stood up from the ground and said, "Nubis, let's not talk about this for now. I plan on going into seclusion for a while."
"Alright, I'll go into seclusion for a while as well. Once I absorb the remaining essence of the old snake, I'll be able to successfully reach the level of the Holy Emperor as well," said Nubis.
At this moment, the Artifact Spirit's face changed slightly, "The senses of the people of the sea race are far too powerful. Master, a few of them have already discovered our existence. They're hurrying over."
Jianchen's face sank slightly with that. He said, "Looks like now's not the time for seclusion."
"Jianchen, let's go out first. We can't let the secret of the saint artifact spread. We can't let the people of the sea race discover its existence. Once the news gets out, there'll be a lot of trouble," said Nubis.
Afterwards, there was a flash of white light in the gloomy cave. Jianchen and Nubis appeared there. Jianchen stowed the saint artifact away before concealing his presence with Nubis and making his way out.
Arriving outside the cave, Jianchen subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky. He saw that the sky was dark blue. Above him was the seawater that was blocked by a powerful barrier. The barrier emitted a gentle blue light that illuminated the entire world. The entire territory of the sea race was dyed blue by the light emitted by the barrier.
In the sea race, the temperature was rather gloomy. It was impossible to see the sun outside, and the six elements that filled the world were incomplete. The water element was extremely powerful, several times more powerful than the Tian Yuan Continent. The other elements were much weaker, and there was no fire element at all.
"Is this the world of the sea race?" Jianchen softly murmured as he looked at the unfamiliar world.
Although Nubis knew about the existence of the sea race from his inherited memories, this was the first time he had come here. Naturally, he was very curious. He shook his head and looked around.
