Tesniak was covered in blood as well. Even though he was powerful, it was difficult for him to ensure that he remained unscathed when surrounded by so many vicious beasts of the same level. His burly body was covered in teeth marks and claw marks from the vicious beasts. Blood had already dyed his entire body red. It was impossible to tell whether it was his own blood or the vicious beasts'.
Nubis was covered in wounds as well. He was completely covered in blood. Out of the hundred or so experts present, Jian Chen was probably the only one who remained unscathed. Jianchen's Chaotic Body was extremely tough. Regular Class 7 vicious beasts were unable to harm him at all. Their sharp claws and teeth were unable to penetrate Jianchen's defenses. Only the vicious beasts at the Seventh Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler or higher could pose a threat to Jianchen. However, Jianchen would kill these vicious beasts as soon as he discovered them.
Xie Wang, Mo Ji, and the three others followed closely behind Jianchen and Nubis. They were slightly weaker than Jianchen and Nubis, so it was very difficult for them to fend off the attacks of so many vicious beasts. Even with that being the case, they were all injured.
Battle cries shook the surroundings as the violent booms from the collisions of energy constantly rang out. Violent ripples of energy wreaked havoc throughout the divine hall. The entire ground was dyed red with blood. The large amount of blood that had piled up had basically gathered into a small pool.
Suddenly, the blood on the ground rapidly decreased. It quickly seeped into the ground and was absorbed by the earth before flowing into the barrier of the palace. Its whereabouts were unknown.
No one noticed this scene.
At the same time, an extremely powerful pulse of the soul radiated from the palace. It was as if a powerful soul that had fallen into a slumber was slowly awakening.
The pulse of the soul was blocked by the barrier, so it did not spread outside. As a result, none of the experts fighting the vicious beasts outside could sense it.
"It's been twenty thousand years. Someone has finally come in. Kill, kill, kill to your heart's content. Let the blood dye the entire divine hall red …" An obscure voice rang out from the empty palace. It was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman. It was filled with an evil presence.
No one knew what was going on inside the palace. Outside, more than a hundred experts fought fiercely with the Direbeasts for three days before they finally killed all the thousands of Direbeasts. Among them, the number of Class Seven Direbeasts that died at their hands had reached an uncountable number. Even the number of Class Eight Direbeasts was as many as 20, but these Class Eight Direbeasts were all below the Fifth Firmament.
At this moment, the ground was filled with the corpses of the vicious beasts. The hundred or so experts were all panting as they sat on the corpses of the vicious beasts. Their faces were filled with exhaustion. Their bodies were covered with hideous wounds. They were in a very sorry state.
This battle was extremely tragic. The number and strength of the ferocious beasts were much stronger than the group of ferocious beasts they had encountered when they first came in. Moreover, the ferocious beasts suddenly launched an attack when they were heavily injured, catching them off guard. After this battle, almost everyone had exhausted the power of the Holy Emperor in their bodies. Even the various healing pills and vitality recovery pills they had brought were running low.
Over forty experts had died in this battle. They had all died under the claws of the Class 8 Magical Beasts. Only a hundred or so people had survived. If it were not for the armor condensed from the Holy Emperor's power that blocked many fatal threats for them, they probably would not have been able to last for so long. They would have all been wiped out long ago.
Jian Chen was in the best condition out of all of them. Although he had also been injured by a Class 8 Magical Beast, his Chaotic Body allowed him to make a full recovery without the use of any pills due to his great recovery. At this moment, he was leisurely collecting monster cores from the piles of corpses by himself.
Tesniak sat on the corpse of a Class 8 vicious beast as he silently healed. He opened his eyes and glanced at Jian Chen, who was busy with his work. He said emotionlessly, "The defences of the ruler of the Turtle clan really are powerful. I've finally witnessed it today."
Jianchen raised his head and glanced at Tesnik. He said nothing and continued to collect monster cores. It was as if these monster cores were much more important than leaving this place in his eyes.
At this moment, Jianchen seemed to discover something. His hand froze as he cried out, "All the blood on the ground has actually vanished."
Hearing this, the surviving powerhouses no longer cared about healing. They immediately stood up from the corpses of the beasts and kicked the corpses away, revealing the hard ground of the temple.
The ground was extremely dry. Aside from a few fragments of the corpses, there was not a single drop of blood. There was not even a single trace of blood.
"Strange, where did the blood from the beasts go? And there is no formation on the ground. Could it be that entering the barrier is not the same as walking out of the maze?" Someone asked in a puzzled voice. His tone was very weak.
"Everyone, look! There's not a single drop of blood left in these beasts," another person cried out. With that, everyone immediately chopped a few corpses to pieces. As expected, they discovered that all the blood had vanished. Not a single drop remained.
Jianchen's face changed. He immediately thought back to when he removed the monster cores from the heads of the beasts. At first, he did not pay too much attention to it, but now that he thought about it, he discovered that there was no blood at all when he removed the monster cores from the heads of the beasts.
"Look, all the blood in their bodies has flowed out as well," another person cried out. Another cry of surprise rang out. It was an old man who was holding the corpse of a Sea Race expert. His face was filled with shock.
Everyone's face became very gloomy. The scene in front of them was very strange. It was already beyond their understanding. No one knew whether what was happening in front of them was good or bad.
"If I've guessed correctly, all the blood has been sucked away by the divine hall," an old man said after a while. This was the only explanation that could explain what was happening in front of him.
"But why would the divine hall suck away all the blood?" Someone asked in confusion. They were utterly confused.
At this moment, the ground began to tremble slightly again. Heavy footsteps rang out from the distance, accompanied by several vast and surging auras that filled the entire sky.
The sudden disturbance caused all the experts who had just relaxed to tense up. When they looked in the direction of the sound, all of them paled. All they saw were five thirty-meter-tall beasts slowly approaching them. Every single one of them radiated with a terrifying presence. They had all reached the 16th Star, powerful existences beyond the Fifth Heavenly Layer of Saint Kings.
"This god damned divine hall of the Eight Wastelands. Why are there so many feral beasts here? We're done for. We're dead for sure." Despair filled everyone's face. Even if they were at their peak condition, they would not be able to deal with the five 15th Star feral beasts before them, let alone the fact that they were all exhausted right now. They could not even deal with a single 15th Star feral beast with their remaining battle prowess, let alone the five of them before them.
Jianchen became stern as well. The light in his eyes flickered. He had already secretly used the Artifact Spirit to wake up the White Tiger that had been cultivating in the artifact space. Once the situation reached a point of no return, he would use the White Tiger to enter the barrier.
The White Tiger's ability to ignore all formations and barriers had always been Jianchen's greatest trump card. Unless he was forced into a dead end, he would never expose the White Tiger to the public.
"Jianchen, what do we do? The strength of these five feral beasts is beyond what we can deal with. Only death awaits us if we stay here. Why don't we enter the artifact space?" Nubis sternly asked Jianchen through a communication technique.
Jianchen stared at the five feral beasts closely. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his head, and he yelled out, "Everyone, we need to enter the barrier if we want to live. These feral beasts have no intelligence, so if we use them properly, we can use them to break through the barrier."
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard that. Tesniak looked at Jianchen and said with a deep voice, "King, what are your chances of success?"
"Do you have a better idea aside from that?" Jianchen questioned.
"Alright. We're going to die anyway, so let's take the risk and try. This is our only chance at survival," a middle-aged man with blood-stained eyes said boldly. A middle-aged man covered in blood said in a heroic tone. He had the spirit of a warrior who would never return. He intended to make a final struggle.
"Alright. Ruler of the Turtle clan, I'll trust you just this once. What do you want us to do?" Tesniak asked. He thought inside, "It would be for the best if we can break through the barrier, but if we can't, I'll just have to use that power to break through the barrier myself."
Jianchen sternly said, "Let's split into two groups right now. Those with Tian Level Saint Techniques will form the first group and use them at the same time. The people in the second group will gather in front of the barrier and attract the attention of the five feral beasts. We have to make the five feral beasts unleash their most powerful attacks at us at the same time, and then we'll immediately dodge and attack the barrier at the same time. When the attacks of the five feral beasts hit the barrier, the people in the first group will immediately use their Tian Level Saint Techniques to attack the barrier. I think the combined attack of over twenty Tian Level Saint Techniques and five 16th Star feral beasts should be enough to break through the barrier. "
Everyone could not help but secretly nod when they heard Jianchen's analysis. They had already agreed with the plan. Afterwards, everyone began to move. The twenty or so people who had grasped the Tian Level Saint Technique gathered together. After consuming a large number of recovery pills, they immediately began to channel the Tian Level Saint Technique.
The remaining people who did not have Tian Level Saint Techniques gathered together in a group as well. They unleashed powerful attacks at the feral beasts that rapidly approached them.
With a violent boom, the five feral beasts were immediately drowned by several dozen powerful ripples of energy. Although it was very difficult for such powerful attacks to harm them, they were deeply infuriated.
The five ferocious beasts let out a deafening roar in unison as they charged towards the crowd with a wild aura.
The two sides rapidly closed in, but just when the five feral beasts were about to collide with everyone, everyone actually dodged to the side as quickly as they could.
Boom! The five feral beasts slammed into the barrier behind them heavily, producing a violent boom. At the same time, everyone's attacks and over twenty Tian Level Saint Techniques landed on the barrier with devastating might. The violent ripples of energy shook up the space, blowing everyone away. They vomited blood, becoming even more injured.
No one paid attention to the injuries on their bodies as they stared at the barrier without blinking. The barrier began to tremble violently. In the end, a crack that was only ten meters wide was ripped open. The crack was slowly closing.
Everyone's eyes lit up as they ravished with joy. Without any hesitation, they all climbed up from the ground as quickly as they could and charged toward the crack crazily. The crack was slowly closing up. Before long, it would return to normal. Everyone charged toward the crack as quickly as they could. This was their only hope of escaping.
Jianchen was the least injured, so he was the fastest out of everyone. He grabbed Nubis and Diablo's shoulders and used the Illusory Flash. He left behind an afterimage where he was and crossed several hundred meters in a single instance, entering the crack.
