Jianchen and Nubis made their way to the fourth floor together. Behind them, Moji and the other two followed closely. The three of them could sense the change in Jianchen and Nubis' attitude towards them. Along the way, they constantly explained what had just happened.
Jianchen's group quickly made their way to the fourth floor. They discovered that the fourth floor was empty. Tesniak and the others were nowhere to be seen. They were not there either.
"There's nothing here. Let's continue to the fifth floor." Jianchen glanced around and said calmly. He then continued to make his way to the fifth floor with Nubis. They did not encounter any obstructions along the way. There were no formations or barriers blocking their way.
The palace had a total of nine floors. The fifth floor was still empty. Next, Jianchen's group cautiously made their way up. They directly passed through the sixth and seventh floor before making their way to the eighth floor without any obstructions.
The eighth floor was still empty. However, there were a few spots where the space was hazy. It was a sign that the formations had been activated. Through the hazy space, they could vaguely make out some trapped figures.
Everyone, including Tesniak, was trapped within the formation space. Thirty metres ahead, there was even the corpse of an expert lying there. He had died to the formations here. His blood had dried up, having been sucked away by the divine hall.
"Be careful, there are formations here." Jianchen's group came to a halt when they saw that. They stared ahead sternly.
"The formations here are very powerful. They're much more powerful than any of the formations we've encountered before. Let's stick together. It's best if we don't split up. Once we come across formations that we can't break through, we can work together to break through them," Jianchen said sternly before cautiously making his way forward.
The formations set up in the palace were extremely profound. Although their power had greatly weakened due to the erosion of time, some high level formations still retained a lot of their power.
There was only one way to go from the eighth floor to the ninth floor, and that was to pass through the obstructions of countless formations. There was no other way. Even flying was not an option.
There were hidden formations everywhere on the eighth floor, making it impossible to guard against. After taking ten steps, Jianchen's group was trapped by a formation that suddenly appeared.
At the same time, a violent boom rang out. A hundred meters ahead, Tesniak and a few other experts had already broken through a formation, revealing themselves.
As soon as Tesniak emerged from the formation, he immediately discovered Jianchen's group. Heavy killing intent immediately flashed through his eyes as he thought, "Ruler of the Turtle clan, I'll let these formations waste away a little more of your strength. I definitely won't let you leave here alive. The Blood Demon Emperor's cultivation method, the Emperor Armament left behind by the human emperor, and the golden tower in your head are all mine. No one has the right to take them from me. Once I obtain the legacy of the Eight Wastelands, your life will come to an end."
Tesniak and the experts who had secretly reached a tacit agreement continued to advance, and soon, they were once again trapped in a formation.
Although Tisnick had made everyone his enemy not too long ago, there was no such thing as an eternal enemy in this world, only eternal benefits. Under such circumstances, he once again joined hands with several powerhouses, all for the sake of passing through the eighth floor and reaching the ninth floor.
Of the one hundred and sixty experts who had entered the divine hall of the Eight Wastelands, only a dozen or so remained. Many of them were injured. They were currently split into three groups on the eighth floor. Other than Jianchen's and Tesniak's groups, there was another group that had also entered a formation. They were currently working hard to break through the formations.
The formations on the eighth floor became more powerful the further they went. The three groups all tried their best to break through the formations because all of them believed that the legacy of the emperor of the Eight Wastelands would be on the ninth floor. As long as they could reach the ninth floor first, they would be able to obtain the legacy of the emperor of the Eight Wastelands.
As a result, the three groups all used every second they had to break through the formations. They were afraid that the other two groups would surpass them.
Two whole days passed. Although Jianchen's group was smaller in number and they had come for fun, they had Jianchen and Nubis, two supreme experts who could rival the Holy Emperor, among them. As a result, they broke through the formations much faster than the other two groups. After two days of competition, Jianchen's group had completely caught up to the other two groups.
Currently, the three groups had arrived in the middle of the eighth floor. They were only half a distance away from the entrance to the ninth floor.
Seeing how Jianchen's group had caught up, the other two groups secretly became anxious as well. They immediately sped up as well. All of them wanted to be first.
The power of the formations behind them continued to increase, and the speed at which they were advancing became slower and slower. Previously, they only needed to combine their strength to break a formation, but now, they had to use all their strength to break a formation. It took a lot of effort for them to break a formation.
Boom!
With a violent rumble, another powerful formation was broken through, revealing Jianchen's group.
Jianchen wielded the Saint Weapon. Black light surged from the weapon as it was surrounded by a layer of dense Chaotic Force. It radiated with a destructive presence.
Behind Jianchen were Nubis, Mo Ji, and Hei Yu. After breaking through so many formations, they were exhausted. They had expended a lot of energy.
"The formations are constantly becoming more powerful. Will there be formations that we can't break through at all?" Nubis asked with a deep voice. He was very stern. Basically all the formations they encountered were trapping formations and killing formations. It would be fine if they encountered trapping formations, but they would be in danger if they encountered powerful killing formations.
Jianchen turned around and glanced at the other two groups nearby. He lowered his head and pondered for a while before leading them forward. After taking around ten steps, they were trapped in another formation.
The eighth floor of the palace was basically a place filled with formations. There were so many of them that it was unimaginable. No matter which direction they took, they would be trapped in a formation in less than ten steps.
Faced with the endless formations, Jianchen had considered using the White Tiger's ability to ignore all formations and barriers to directly enter the ninth floor. However, after coming to the Eight Wastelands Divine Hall, everything that Jianchen had gone through had changed his opinion of the Eight Wastelands Divine Hall by a lot. He had always had a thought that the divine hall was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Entering the ninth floor might not be to obtain the legacy of the Eight Wastelands Emperors. Instead, there might be other unknown dangers waiting for them.
As a result, Jianchen gave up on using the White Tiger. Instead, he used the same method as them to slowly advance.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed. During these three days, they advanced at an extremely slow pace. They had not even covered a third of the remaining distance.
Now that they had reached there, Jian Chen and the others needed to stop and recover the energy they had used up whenever they broke through a formation. Even Nubis was no exception. Only Jian Chen remained brimming with energy, showing no signs of weakness at all.
Jianchen had gone through many battles already. As long as he did not exhaust himself like he did in the City of God, the Chaotic Force within him would be enough for him to use for a very long time. This was because every strand of Chaotic Force was extremely powerful, so he consumed it much more slowly than regular people.
The power and profoundness of Chaotic Force could not be measured by ordinary energy because it was a supreme energy of the world. There was no energy that could rival Chaotic Force in the universe.
However, the Chaotic Force Jianchen possessed right now was not true Chaotic Force. The Chaotic Body had been divided into eighteen layers by the sword spirits, and each layer was a metamorphosis. Only when Jianchen's Chaotic Force reached the eighteenth layer would it become true Chaotic Force. At that time, the power of Chaotic Force would be completely unleashed.
With the help of regular pills, they only needed a day to recover. They then continued on their way, breaking through the formations.
By now, Tesniak had already taken a step ahead of them. They had all consumed high level pills, so they recovered much faster.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, another three months passed. After three months, Jianchen's group finally made it through the remaining journey. They stood before the entrance to the ninth floor.
They were currently in horrible shape. Their clothes were in tatters, and their faces were pale and haggard. They seemed like beggars. Even Jianchen was the same.
Apart from Jian Chen, the others were all injured. They had been on the brink of death many times during this period of time.
Tesniak and the other group made their way out at the same time. All of them were in horrible shapes. Their tattered clothes were stained with blood. Clearly, they had suffered greatly under the formations. Both sides had lost people. They had all died to the formations.
"Ruler of the Turtle clan, above us is where the legacy of the Eight Wastelands lies. Only one person can obtain the legacy of the Eight Wastelands. I just don't know who will obtain it in the end." Tesniak emotionlessly said to Jianchen before coldly glancing past the people in the surroundings.
He knew that their alliance was only temporary. They only wanted to make it to the final step. Once they were faced with the temptation of the legacy of the Eight Wastelands, they would all become enemies. There would no longer be any friendship between them.
However, the only person that Tesniak truly cared about was Jianchen. He did not care about the others at all.
Jianchen said nothing. He glanced past everyone, whether intentionally or not. In his eyes, there was not a single person who could stand here right now who was mediocre. Not a single person who could make it here could be underestimated. Although many of them were nameless, they were merely hidden. Perhaps there were some among them who were not the slightest bit weaker than Tisnick. However, they were not as dazzling and flamboyant as Tisnick.
