At this moment, the two feral beasts that were at the Second Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor were covered in blood. They were on the brink of death and their attacks became weaker and weaker.
"Keep going. It can't last much longer. It's about to die," a Saint King yelled out. A Saint Ruler yelled out. At the same time, he threw a punch at the beast's head, causing it to shake violently. A few cracks appeared on its skull.
At this moment, there was a flash. Jianchen had arrived on the back of the feral beast with the Illusory Flash. The Saint Weapon in his hand gave off a destructive presence as he suddenly swung down, cutting through the terrifying wound on the feral beast's neck.
Kacha! The entire head of the feral beast was chopped off by Jianchen. Blood immediately spurted out from its body, giving off a dazzling smell of blood.
Jianchen swung his arm and the Saint Weapon stabbed out once more. It stabbed deeply into the head of the feral beast and removed a monster core that was covered in blood. He did not even have the time to wipe the blood off before stowing it away in his Space Ring. Without pausing at all, he immediately charged toward the next feral beast.
A few seconds later, the life of the next feral beast was ended by Jianchen. Its monster core also ended up in Jianchen's hands, which made Jianchen slightly excited. In just a short while, he had obtained three Class 8 Monster Cores. This was something unimaginable on the Tian Yuan Continent.
"Hurry up and deal with this feral beast. It's already at the 16th Star. We need to kill it here, or once we split up, no one will be able to do anything to it. It'll bring us disaster," a Saint Ruler called for help as he fought against the last feral beast. The feral beast was at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. Even though it was surrounded by over thirty Saint Rulers, it was still extremely ferocious, forcing the Saint Rulers to retreat all by itself.
Immediately, over a hundred Saint Rulers charged over and engaged in a great battle with the last vicious beast. Jian Chen did not stand by idly either. He joined in the killing of the last vicious beast with the Saint Weapon in hand. The feral beast was extremely powerful. They needed to kill it completely while there were more people. Otherwise, once they split up, all of them might die to the feral beast's claws.
Under the combined attacks of over a hundred Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers, the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor finally produced an unwilling and sorrowful cry. It collapsed in a puddle of blood. Over thirty of the Saint Rulers that had surrounded it had already become heavily injured.
The monster core in the head of the feral beast had become the most sought-after item. Over twenty Saint Rulers immediately charged toward the head. As they fought over it, they directly shattered the huge head. The monster core hidden in the head flew into the air from the great impact.
The Saint Rulers shot into the sky at the same time and flew toward the monster core. They moved extremely quickly.
A gleam of light exploded in Jianchen's eyes. Two streaks of light, one violet and one azure, vaguely appeared in his eyes. He extended his hand and grabbed at the air. The monster core that the Saint Rulers were fighting over immediately changed directions and flew toward him. In the end, it landed in Jianchen's hand.
Over ten of the Saint Rulers immediately gave up when they saw that the person who had taken the monster core was Jianchen. However, seven of them still charged toward Jianchen with killing intent. They wanted to steal the Class 8 Monster Core from him.
Jianchen's gaze sharpened at that moment. He gripped the Class 8 Monster Core tightly in his left hand as he stabbed out with the Saint Weapon in his right hand. He actually stabbed out seven times in a single moment. Ding!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
With the sound of metal clashing, the weapons of the seven Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers all collided with the Saint Weapon in Jianchen's hand. The two sides retreated as soon as they clashed. The seven Saint Rulers all staggered back as their faces changed drastically. They then looked at Jianchen with deep fear and disbelief.
Jianchen seemed to be rooted to the ground. He stood there firmly without moving at all. He had repelled the seven Saint Rulers all by himself. He seemed to be extremely relaxed.
The people in the surroundings immediately fell into an uproar when they saw this. At that moment, everyone looked at Jianchen with deep fear. It would be extremely unfortunate if they offended such a powerful enemy in the divine hall of the Eight Wastelands that was cut off from the outside world.
Jianchen coldly stared at the seven Saint Rulers. He could not help but sneer, "I'd like to see just how long you can last."
Spurt! Spurt! Spurt …
As soon as Jianchen finished speaking, the seven Saint Rulers all vomited blood. They immediately became haggard. They had been injured by the sword Qi the moment they clashed.
After all, Jianchen wielded a Saint Weapon, so he could unleash strength equivalent to the Third Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. Even a casual strike from a Third Heavenly Layer Holy Emperor was not something Saint Rulers could endure.
The eyes of all the people in the surroundings widened as they stared at this scene in shock. They could not be any more shocked.
"Hahaha, the ruler of the Turtle clan really is extraordinary. I've finally witnessed it today." Mo Ji walked out from the crowd as he laughed aloud. He directly arrived beside Jianchen as he praised him. Afterward, the three other people from Jianchen's group all arrived before Jianchen as well, as if they wanted to prove to everyone that they were with the ruler of the Turtle clan.
Jianchen looked at the Class 8 Monster Core in his hand and said to the seven people, "Do you still want to compete with me for this monster core now?"
"Turtle King, we are extremely sorry. We didn't know that you had obtained the monster core before. Please forgive us if we have offended you in any way," an old man apologized to Jianchen in a submissive manner. He was filled with sincerity.
Jianchen slightly frowned when he heard that. A sliver of displeasure appeared on his face as he said, "I don't like people calling me the Turtle King. My name is Jianchen!"
"Yes, Turtle King." The old man did not dare to disobey, so he politely replied. Although he was at the same level of cultivation as Jianchen, he was the ruler of a clan. He would become someone like a hall elder sooner or later, or even an emperor. Let alone the old man, even their tribe did not dare to offend him so easily.
However, the old man did not seem to notice his slip of the tongue. He actually called Jianchen the Turtle King again.
Jianchen gently sighed inside. He could not be bothered to argue with the old man over such a small matter. He stowed the Class 8 Monster Core away in his Space Ring before arriving before Nubis. He stood guard over the healing Nubis.
With all the beasts slain, the tacit understanding between everyone was broken. They all spread out cautiously, keeping an eye on the people there.
Everyone understood that there were only so many treasures in the divine hall of the Eight Wastelands. The fewer people there were, the greater the chances of obtaining the treasures. As a result, a battle could erupt at any time. Basically everyone there was eager for everyone to die apart from themselves. That way, they could obtain the legacy of the Eight Wastelands without any worries, as well as the various treasures in the divine hall.
A while later, the people gathered in various places left through the various tunnels in groups. As a result, there were fewer and fewer people in the hall. In less than half an hour, everyone had left, leaving only Jianchen's group of seven behind. They all smelled the thick stench of blood in the air.
"Jianchen, let's go as well." Nubis stood up from the ground. His wounds had mostly recovered from the Class 6 Radiant Spirit Pill. Although he had not fully recovered, it did not affect him too much.
Jianchen looked at the sixteen tunnels and chose one at random. Moji and the other three followed closely behind Jianchen's group.
The divine hall of the Eight Wastelands was like a maze. The tunnels extended in all directions and were basically everywhere. When Jianchen's group reached the end of the tunnel, they actually came across several forks that led to unknown places. The forks were like tree branches, with many smaller branches growing out from the branches and even more branches growing out from the smaller branches. There were so many of them that it was very easy to get lost.
At this moment, a loud beast roar rang out from ahead. A three-meter-tall Class 7 vicious beast appeared in front of Jianchen's group. It stared at Jianchen's group with its scarlet eyes before charging towards them.
Jianchen's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the Class 7 vicious beast. It was as if the vicious beast was not a powerful opponent in his eyes, but an extremely precious Class 7 Monster Core.
"Leave it to me." Just as Moji was about to kill the vicious beast, Jianchen had already charged over with the Emperor Weapon. He beheaded the Class 7 vicious beast with a single strike and took away its monster core.
After taking the monster core, Jianchen's group ignored the corpse of the vicious beast and continued forward.
Jianchen's group shuttled through the maze aimlessly. Along the way, they would encounter vicious beasts one after another. However, these vicious beasts were all Class 7, and there were even Class 6 beasts. Not only did they not pose any threat to Jianchen's group, they even allowed Jianchen to harvest a lot of monster cores.
Just as they passed through a passage, the scene before them suddenly opened up. They saw that they had already arrived at a very spacious hall.
Jianchen's gaze swept the surroundings, and his face immediately became gloomy. He had already recognized that this hall was the same hall they had entered from when they first entered the Eight Wastelands Shrine. They had taken a big detour here and actually came back. However, the piles of vicious beast corpses in the hall had already disappeared.
Jianchen's group was not the first to return. At this moment, there were already over forty people scattered around the hall. They were discussing and occasionally drawing on the ground, analyzing the path of the maze.
"Crap, we're actually back here." Nubis's face was also very ugly.
