Jianchen slowly made his way to the center of the hall as he stared at the ground.
The formation on the ground was around twenty meters in diameter. It was a pentagram and countless tiny, blood-red threads were connected to each other. They were arranged in an extremely complicated and profound manner.
Jian Chen stared at the formation on the ground as he sank into his thoughts. He clearly remembered that when he first arrived in the hall, there was no such complicated formation on the ground.
"Is this not the hall I just came from, but another hall that's exactly the same?" Jianchen could not help but wonder, but he rejected this thought very soon. He was extremely certain that this hall was the one he had just left from.
"Hmm? There's actually a formation here," a Saint Ruler also discovered the formation on the ground and immediately cried out in surprise.
The other Saint Rulers in the hall were all drawn over as well. They gathered from various places and stared at the formation on the ground as they pondered.
"There are many red threads in the formation. Is it a map of the maze?" A Saint Ruler guessed.
"Impossible. The red threads don't resemble the maze at all. It's impossible for it to be a map of the maze," someone immediately rejected that person's suggestion.
"This formation didn't exist before, yet it's suddenly appeared now. Is it related to us making it out of the maze?" Another person voiced his opinion.
Everyone fell silent. Many of them had thought of the same thing, but they were unable to verify it.
At this moment, a great beast's roar rang out from a tunnel. A vicious beast had already been slain by an expert of the Sea race. It let out a miserable cry before it died.
A gleam of light flashed through Jianchen's eyes. He had already enveloped the entire formation with the senses of his soul, so no changes could escape his senses. When the vicious beast died earlier, he discovered that another red thread had appeared in the formation.
"Is the formation's appearance related to those vicious beasts?" A thought flashed through Jianchen's head.
"We appeared here when we entered the Divine Hall of the Eight Wastelands. At that time, there was no formation on the ground, so we were attacked by a large group of vicious beasts. After the vicious beasts died, their corpses covered the ground, preventing us from seeing what was on the ground. When I returned, the corpses had disappeared and a formation had appeared on the ground. Is the formation because of those vicious beasts?" A gleam of light flashed through Jianchen's eyes as he rapidly analyzed the situation.
Suddenly, Jianchen's expression changed. He said in a low voice, "I know. This formation should be the key to getting out of the maze. It's just that for some reason, the formation has been hidden. It only appears with the blood of the vicious beasts. Every time a vicious beast dies, a part of the formation will appear. When the number of vicious beasts reaches a certain number, the formation will completely appear. When that happens, we'll be able to get out of the maze."
Hearing this, everyone in the field was startled. Immediately, they stared at the array on the ground without blinking. As they looked, they began to ponder.
"Do you have any evidence to prove that your theory is correct?" A burly middle-aged man asked Jianchen.
"Look at the formation carefully. If I've guessed correctly, a red thread will appear once the vicious beasts die. The red thread should be a part of the formation. Only when it completely appears will the formation become complete," said Jianchen.
After that, no one spoke. They all gathered around the array diagram and stared intently at the changes in the array diagram.
Afterward, quite a few Saint Rulers returned from the maze, causing more and more people to gather in the hall. As soon as they arrived in the main hall, they immediately noticed the people standing in a circle around the array diagram. They immediately joined them with curiosity and stared at the array diagram with doubts.
At this moment, another sorrowful roar rang out. Another vicious beast had been killed in the maze.
As soon as the Ferocious Beast died, an old man among the people watching the formation immediately exclaimed, "Look, there is indeed an extra red thread."
"I can see it too. It really is like that. These vicious beasts really are the key to leaving. The formation needs their blood to be drawn."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go kill those vicious beasts so that the formation can be completed sooner."
…
Everyone cried out. Immediately, there were people who entered the tunnels eagerly and began to hunt the vicious beasts.
Jianchen and the others did not hesitate either. They randomly chose a tunnel and left, joining the hunt. He needed the monster cores of the vicious beasts very much. Any single one of them would be priceless treasures on the Tian Yuan Continent. He needed to use this rare opportunity to collect as many as he could.
The vicious beasts in the divine hall of the Eight Wastelands had all been raised by the emperor of the Eight Wastelands. After so many years of breeding, no one knew just how many of them there were. No one even knew what level of cultivation the strongest had reached.
Jianchen and the others blindly moved through the tunnels, specifically searching for vicious beasts. They would come across other Saint Rulers from time to time, but when they saw that it was the ruler of the Turtle clan, Jianchen, they immediately showed deep fear. After greeting Jianchen warmly, they chose a path to follow. No one dared to offend them.
After all, they had all witnessed Jianchen's strength when he had killed the Fifth Heavenly Layer vicious beast from the Holy Emperor.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. During those three days, Jianchen constantly moved through the labyrinth with the people behind him, specifically searching for vicious beasts to kill. After three days of slaughter, countless vicious beasts had died to Jianchen's hands, allowing Jianchen to collect a large number of monster cores.
Rumble!
Just when Jianchen killed the vicious beast in his hands, the entire labyrinth suddenly began to violently shake. The incomplete formation in the hall with the complicated formation had already been completely revealed. It shone with a dazzling red light that illuminated the entire hall. The entire hall was filled with extremely powerful energy at that moment.
The next moment, the walls of the labyrinth slowly sank into the ground. Very soon, they had completely sunk into the ground. As the walls vanished, the experts scattered across the labyrinth were all exposed.
"The labyrinth is gone. The formation really is the way out of the labyrinth," the experts immediately cried out happily when they saw everything in the surroundings.
Jianchen removed the monster core from the vicious beast's head before looking around. He discovered that he was actually in a huge square. The square was extremely large, spanning over ten kilometers in diameter. The labyrinth from before had been constructed on the square.
"The Eight Wastelands Divine Hall is basically a world of its own. It's actually so large. Just the size of the square has completely exceeded the size of the divine hall that we saw from the outside," Nubis sighed emotionally as he looked around.
"The hall we just entered should be the entrance to the divine hall. This square should be the front part of the divine hall. Let's continue down," Jianchen said before making his way into the divine hall first.
At the same time, the other Saint Rulers set off as well. They maintained a certain distance from each other as they made their way into the depths of the divine hall at a steady pace. All of them were vigilant. Not only did they have to be wary of the people around them, but they also had to be wary of the dangers of the divine hall itself.
At this moment, Jianchen's eyes narrowed. He suddenly looked to the side and saw that the space a hundred meters away had begun to pulse violently. It enveloped the five Saint Rulers who were walking together, causing them to disappear.
"Everyone be careful. There's a formation here," someone immediately cried out in the surroundings. Everyone immediately raised their vigilance.
No one cared about the fates of the people trapped in the formation. They carefully made their way into the depths of the divine hall again.
The formations hidden in the divine hall were difficult to detect. Afterward, the formations hidden in various places appeared one after another, trapping the Saint Rulers who had triggered them. Even Jianchen and the others were trapped three times by powerful killing formations, but they were all broken through by the seven of them working together. They passed through the front of the divine hall safely and arrived in the center.
There were many majestic halls and pavilions in the center of the divine hall. There were also well-preserved gardens and ponds.
Flowers bloomed in the gardens, giving off a heavy fragrance. Many unknown insects moved about in the gardens while many fish swam about in the ponds. The fragrance of the water permeated the air.
Due to the influence of the temple's power, whether it was the various insects living in the garden or the fish in the pond, they all evolved and became extraordinary creatures with extremely strong offensive abilities. No one knew how long they had lived there. Some of them even radiated with presences that rivaled Saint Rulers. The power they used was extremely strange, similar to the power of the divine hall. It was extremely powerful.
Everyone knew how powerful these creatures were, so no one was willing to provoke them. They avoided them from afar and continued on their way.
The central area of the temple was like a city with well-connected roads. When everyone arrived here, they gradually spread out in all directions.
Boom! Suddenly, a violent boom rang out in the distance. A Saint Ruler attempted to enter a hall, but as soon as he opened the door, he was blown away by the violent ripples of energy that surged out from inside. Blood sprayed from his mouth uncontrollably while he was still in the air.
However, the door to the hall was not closed. Instead, it was wide open.
"Let's go in and take a look," said a voice. Immediately, three Saint Rulers carefully made their way into the hall. At the same time, blue armor completely condensed from energy appeared on their bodies.
An undetectable gleam of light flashed through Jianchen's eyes as he stared at their armor. This was not the first time he had clashed with the Holy Emperor. He could clearly sense the vast presence of the Holy Emperor from their armor.
"This isn't their power. They have the Holy Emperor's power within them. They're using the Holy Emperor's power to condense this armor," Jianchen understood very quickly.
The Holy Emperor's power would clearly only be used when they faced true danger. Now that they had entered a hall of unknown danger, the danger would definitely be much greater than the beasts, which was why they used the Holy Emperor's power without any hesitation.
Many people outside paid attention to their actions. The light in the eyes of many of them began to flicker. They were all hesitating on whether they should take the risk and enter the hall to investigate.
Boom!
