"Heavens, what is such a huge sword? What kind of weapon is it?"
"Why is the sword so huge? I've never seen or heard of such a huge sword ever since I was born."
"Who would be able to wield such a big sword?"
"This sword is not to be underestimated. I can actually sense a powerful sword energy from it that makes me tremble in fear."
There was nothing else on the third floor of the palace apart from the large sword stuck in the center. The sword stood there like a king, so it naturally attracted everyone's attention. Everyone's gazes gathered on the sword as they discussed spiritedly. Their faces were filled with shock.
Basically all of them knew about the existence of Ruler Armaments. Perhaps an extremely small number of them recognized King Armaments, but there were extremely few people who recognized Emperor Armaments because they were just far too rare.
Even on the Tian Yuan Continent, there were not many Saint Rulers who knew about the existence of Emperor Armaments, let alone in the sea realm where humans were rare.
"Jianchen, do you think this sword is the legendary Emperor Armament?" Nubis's voice rang out from beside him. His gaze toward the Emperor Armament was filled with great shock. He had never seen an Emperor Armament before, but there were records of it in his inherited memories.
Jianchen nodded slightly. His gaze toward the Emperor Armament burned with desire. His desire to possess it became more and more intense. In his entire life, he had never felt such a strong desire to possess something.
"I have to obtain this Emperor Armament," Jianchen thought. His gaze became extraordinarily determined.
"I know what it is. It's actually an Emperor Armament," Tisnek suddenly cried out. Disbelief filled his eyes. He had also recognized the Emperor Armament.
"Emperor Armament? What Emperor Armament? I've never heard of it before, "an old man beside Tisnek asked in doubt. He was filled with curiosity.
Tisnek sucked in a deep breath and slowly said, "I've only learnt about the Emperor Armament from my inherited memories. The Emperor Armament is the Saint Weapon of the human emperor. It's extremely powerful, capable of destroying the world. When the human emperor reached the end of his lifespan, he left the Saint Weapon behind. "
"What? Was the sword left behind by the human emperor?"
"If that's the case, does the sword bear witness to the death of a human emperor?"
"Heavens, it's actually the weapon of a human emperor. If I could use it, I wouldn't even need to fear 15th Star experts."
Everyone was in an uproar. A weapon left behind by a Great Emperor of the Human Race was enough to make everyone jealous. Although the people of the Sea Race couldn't use the weapons of the Human Race for some reason, its value and preciousness were unquestionable.
Suddenly, Tisnek turned to Jianchen. His gaze sharpened at that moment, and he said, "Ruler of the Turtle clan, you obtained a throne completely forged from God Tier crystal before obtaining the cultivation method of the Blood Demon Emperor. You've benefited far more than any of us, so I hope you won't interfere with this human Emperor Armament."
Jianchen coldly stared at him and emotionlessly said, "Do you really think the Emperor Armament is that easy to obtain? If you have the ability, then go take it," Jianchen could not help but think of the scene of him obtaining the Saint Weapon. The Saint Weapon had been left behind by a Holy Emperor, so it was much weaker than the Emperor Armament. However, he needed to push the power of the Chaotic Body to the limit in order to wield it, or he would only be injured by the weapon, let alone the Emperor Armament that was much more powerful than the Saint Weapon.
Jianchen understood that it was probably impossible for him to touch the Emperor Armament with his current strength. Otherwise, he would not be able to avoid being injured by the weapon even with the protection of the Chaotic Body.
Swish! At this moment, there were a few gusts of wind. A few experts could no longer resist the temptation and charged toward the Emperor Armament.
A cold gleam of light flashed through Tesnik's eyes. He furiously roared, "You're looking to die!" With that, two blades immediately appeared in his hands as he pursued the people with heavy killing intent.
Although Tesnik was very powerful, there were quite a few hidden experts present as well. Many of them did not fear him, not to mention that they were currently facing the great temptation of the Emperor Armament, so their fear for Tesnik was reduced to a minimum. As a result, the experts who charged for the Emperor Armament completely ignored Tesnik's words. Instead, they sped up.
Many of the experts present could not help but become tempted when they saw that people had already begun to fight for the Emperor Armament. They wanted to join in as well, and even Mo Ji, Xie Wang, and the others struggled to remain calm.
However, Jian Chen and Nubis stood there calmly. They did not plan on interfering at all. Even though that was the case, the two of them still stared at the Emperor Armament closely.
Finally, the experts approached the Emperor Armament, but at this moment, a formation rapidly appeared on the ground. It flickered with a dazzling red light and an invisible energy immediately permeated the air, blocking all the people who charged toward the Emperor Armament.
They were just about to obtain the Emperor Armament, yet something like this happened at such a crucial moment. This made the experts who were close to the Emperor Armament go mad. They felt like a huge treasure had been placed right in front of them, yet they were unable to obtain it. This filled them with reluctance.
Boom! Boom!
Intense rumbling sounds spread far and wide in the empty palace. The experts were doing their best to attack the invisible energy that was blocking them. They wanted to break through the barrier and obtain the god artifact.
However, no matter how hard they tried, they were unable to break through the invisible energy that was blocking their path. This invisible energy was like an incomparably sturdy barrier, blocking them outside. No matter how hard they tried, they were unable to take a single step forward.
Tesniak's eyes narrowed when he saw this. He instinctively stopped and stared at the Emperor Armament with a frown. However, his face sank very soon. He said with a heavy voice, "I never thought that the Emperor Armament would actually be trapped by a seal. The requirements to break through the seal are actually so harsh. Looks like we'll have to pay a heavy price to obtain the Emperor Armament."
Jianchen slowly made his way toward the Emperor Armament. When he approached it, a line of small words suddenly appeared before his eyes. When he glanced past the words, his face immediately became rather sunken. A cold light flickered through his eyes.
"The Emperor Armament has been sealed here. If you want to break through the seal, you'll need the lives of forty-nine experts."
That was the content of the line of words.
The other experts arrived one after another. All of them saw the small line of words carved on the ground. Their expressions changed, and they immediately scattered in all directions. They became even more vigilant.
The atmosphere in the hall immediately became tense.
Just at this moment, a series of footsteps rang out. Several dozen more experts walked over from the entrance to the third floor. They were all people who had been healing at the edge of the barrier. After several days, they had finally made a full recovery.
When they saw the thirty-meter-long sword, all of them became stunned. However, they learned about the Emperor Armament and the method to break through the seal very soon, so they immediately became cautious. They gathered together in groups of three or four as they stared at the surroundings cautiously.
"The Emperor Armament actually needs the lives of forty-nine experts to break through the seal. The emperor of the Eight Wastelands clearly wants us to kill each other …"
"Is the emperor of the Eight Wastelands using this method to choose the strongest among us so that they can inherit his legacy?"
Someone guessed, but their guesses made everyone's eyes light up. They found it to be more and more likely the more they thought about it.
Perhaps, this really was how the emperor of the Eight Wastelands chose the person who would inherit his legacy.
"The legacy of the Eight Wastelands belongs to me. I'll use this opportunity to get rid of some people so that they won't cause any more trouble in the future." A cold light flashed through Tesnik's eyes. He immediately swung his blades at the person closest to him.
"Tesnik, what are you doing?" The expression of the expert drastically changed. He immediately retreated as he drew his weapon to block.
Tesnik was the ruler of a clan, so his battle prowess was extremely great. Although he was still a Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler, his battle prowess was no weaker than the Holy Emperor at the First Heavenly Layer. He could even rival the Holy Emperor at the Second Heavenly Layer. In just a few clashes, he had slain the expert, wiping out his soul.
With the death of the expert, all his blood immediately fused into the ground and vanished. At the same time, one of the forty-nine inscriptions in the hexagram that trapped the Emperor Armament had shattered.
"I must obtain the Emperor Armament. I'll kill anyone who gets in my way." A cold light flickered through Jianchen's eyes as well. He immediately pulled out the Saint Armament from his Space Ring and charged toward the five experts who stood together.
As soon as Jian Chen struck out, Nubis obviously did not want to fall behind. His hands immediately turned golden, and they flickered with excitement as they charged out as well.
The Saint Armament in Jianchen's hand turned into a dense blur that enveloped the five experts. Even though the five of them put up a desperate fight, it was impossible for them to be Jianchen's opponent. The Saint Armament had only clashed with them a few times before heavily injuring them. They all staggered back, and before they could even stabilize themselves, a sword had pierced their foreheads, wiping out their souls.
Jianchen took the Space Rings of the five of them before charging toward the next opponent.
Battle intent burned in Nubis's eyes. He fought against two experts of the same level as him bare-handed. His fists were filled with dense, poisonous gas and golden threads would shoot out from them from time to time. In the blink of an eye, he had heavily injured the two of them before piercing their foreheads with the golden threads, wiping out their souls.
In the blink of an eye, almost ten experts had died in the hall. Every time an expert died, their blood would disappear into the ground. At the same time, one of the inscriptions in the hexagram would shatter.
The palace fell into a chaotic battle. The peaceful tacit understanding between the people had been broken. They began to fight with all kinds of motives. Among them, there was no lack of enemies or hostile forces with deep hatred. At this moment, they were all using this occasion to settle their grudges.
