Jianchen and the others were stunned, but they soon returned to their senses. They all charged toward the gap as quickly as they could. At that moment, they all pushed their speed to the limit.
With the assistance of a secret technique, Nubis charged at the very front. He was the first to leave the formation space, followed by Mo Ji, Hei Yu, and Hei Yu. Jianchen was the last because he was further away from the gap.
The blood-red giant in the formation space was at least at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. Its strength was not something they could contend against. If they continued to stay there, only death would await them. Now that the gap had been created by the Emperor Armament, it obviously became their target of escape. All of them knew that this was probably their only chance at survival.
As a result, they all pushed their speed to the limit at that moment.
"Don't even think about escaping, Emperor Armament. If I can collect you once, I can collect you again." Jianchen turned into a blur as he shot toward the gap with lightning speed.
Jianchen had used the Emperor Armament because he had no other choice. Probably only the Emperor Armament could contend against the blood-red giant on him right now. However, he had never expected the outcome. The blood-red giant was indeed not the Emperor Armament's opponent, but the Emperor Xi's Emperor Armament did not destroy the blood-red giant as he had hoped. Instead, the Emperor Armament had escaped by itself.
Jianchen's head was filled with the Emperor Armament. Now that the Emperor Armament had escaped, he became extremely worried. He knew that the Emperor Armament probably possessed a sliver of its previous owner's soul, so it possessed some intelligence. It would definitely be on guard after suffering from the saint artifact once, so it would not be so easy to collect it in the next time.
Very soon, the three of them arrived at the edge of the gap. Jianchen arrived less than ten meters behind them as well. However, just when the three of them were about to leave the formation space, a cold light flashed through their eyes. They suddenly turned around and sent a palm strike at Jianchen.
Although the three of them had yet to recover from their injuries, the might of the three palm strikes was not to be underestimated. Three massive waves of energy shot towards Jianchen, who was less than 10 metres behind them.
Jianchen was currently worried about the Emperor Armament. He had never thought that the three of them would attack him at a time like this. By the time he returned to his senses, the three huge waves of energy had already arrived before him.
Jianchen's face abruptly changed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. At this critical moment, the Emperor Saint Weapon in his hand slashed out like lightning, colliding with the powerful energy coming from the three of them.
With a loud rumble, the violent energy shockwaves hit Jianchen's body wave after wave, immediately stopping his forward momentum. Soon after, his body was pushed back uncontrollably, only stopping after being pushed back several hundred meters.
At this moment, the crack from the Emperor Armament rapidly closed up. It was possible to see the three of them through the crack. They were currently staring at Jianchen with a sneer on their faces.
Jianchen's face was extremely sunken. A powerful killing intent radiated from his heart uncontrollably, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet. The crack closed up extremely quickly, so Jianchen no longer had the ability to escape.
"Mo Ji, I, Jianchen, will definitely kill you," Jian Chen coldly said. Jian Chen coldly said. His icy-cold words that seemed to come from the mouth of the Grim Reaper were clearly heard by the three of them. With that, the crack in the formation space completely closed up, trapping Jian Chen once again.
The empty space outside the formation had been enveloped by a huge, blood-red barrier, only leaving behind an extremely narrow tunnel. Mo Ji, Hei Yu, and Nubis were currently in the narrow tunnel.
Nubis saw everything that had just happened and his face sank in a single moment. He radiated with a tremendous killing intent that surged into the sky.
"How dare the three of you touch Jianchen? I, the great Nubis, will tear you to pieces," Nubis's eyes were red as he immediately reached toward the three of them with his golden hands.
At that moment, the three of them seemed to have become completely different people. Although they had witnessed Nubis's strength, they completely ignored Nubis's attack. Their eyes were filled with disdain.
A vast amount of energy gushed out from their bodies, quickly condensing into a set of armor on their bodies, protecting their entire bodies.
Nubis's claws landed on the three of them, but they were actually unable to get through the armor. They were knocked back a few steps.
"This is the power of the Holy Emperor. Didn't you use up the power of the Holy Emperor within you long ago? You actually still have it," Nubis was surprised and immediately became rather stern.
The three of them immediately sneered when they heard that. One of them said, "Used up? Hehe, that's just to trick you. Nubis, the power in us may not have been left behind by experts like hall elders, but it's still at the 16th Star. Do you think you can get through it with your strength? "
Nubis coldly said, "Do you think you can obtain the legacy of the emperor of the Eight Wastelands just like that? Don't forget that aside from Jianchen, there's also Tisnike. Without Jianchen, you won't be able to defeat Tisnike with just the power of the Holy Emperor."
"Who said we wanted to fight over the legacy of the emperor of the Eight Wastelands?" Moji said. He looked at Nubis scornfully, "Our ultimate goal is not to fight over the legacy of the emperor of the Eight Wastelands, but to kill the three of you. If it weren't for the fact that there were just too many people ahead and we were worried that someone would spread the news and drag our clans into it, the three of us would have taken action long ago. However, this is perfect. We can use the power of the formation to kill off Jianchen, leaving behind a portion of our strength. The remaining strength of the three of us is enough to eliminate you. "
"What? You've come here to kill us?" Nubis was surprised. This outcome had completely exceeded their expectations.
"That's right. You've offended the Serpent God Hall. Do you really think you can relax after hiding in his majesty Poseidon?" Moji said.
"I see. So you're from the Serpent God Hall." Nubis came to a realisation.
"We're not from the Serpent God Hall. We've only been asked to do so by them. Nubis, since you know everything now, it's time for us to send you on your way. " Ice-cold killing intent appeared in the eyes of the three of them. Afterward, the tremendous power of the Holy Emperor surged out of their bodies, forming three sea beasts that roared out furiously. They charged at Nubis aggressively.
This was not their own power. Instead, it was the power of the Holy Emperor that had been left in them by a 16th Star expert who was at least at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. It was extremely powerful.
Nubis was stern. He turned around and fled. Although he was confident, he did not believe he could block such a powerful attack.
A casual attack from a 16th Star expert could heavily injure him. If he had to take on the combined attacks of three 16th Star experts, he would only be half-dead even if he managed to survive.
Most importantly, he had no idea what level of cultivation the person who had left behind the power of the Holy Emperor was. Was it the Holy Emperor at the Fifth Heavenly Layer or the Holy Emperor at the Eighth Heavenly Layer? Or was it the Holy Emperor at the Ninth Heavenly Layer?
However, Nubis was unable to escape from the pursuit of the Holy Emperor's power. He was caught very quickly. Nubis threw caution to the wind when he realized that he could not escape. He roared at the sky and golden and silver light emerged from his body, immediately condensing into fine scales that covered every inch of his body. Golden and silver flames burned on the scales. The flames burned brighter and brighter, and under the flames, his scales actually began to swell at an unbelievable rate.
Nubis's face was filled with pain. He gritted his teeth and called out, "Legacy secret technique, Gold-Silver Phosphorus Explosion!" The Gold-Silver Phosphorus Explosion was a self-harming method of attack. It used a secret technique to trigger the explosion of all the scales to injure the people around it. Not only was it extremely powerful, but it was also poisonous.
However, the price of using this secret technique was too high. Not only would one's vitality be greatly damaged, but one would also lose all the scales on one's body. One would have to endure tens or even hundreds of years of pain to slowly recover their vitality. Then, they would have to shed their skin and grow new scales.
"Nubis, I'm here. Stop!" At this moment, Jianchen's voice entered Nubis's ears.
Nubis's eyes lit up. He subconsciously stopped using the Legacy secret technique. Then, a golden light shone in front of him. He saw a golden pagoda fly through the sky and block his path.
This golden pagoda was ten meters tall and two meters in diameter. It landed heavily on the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly. Nubis blocked the three attacks of the Holy Emperor's power.
"Boom!" The three attacks of the Holy Emperor's power collided with the golden pagoda. However, the golden pagoda did not move at all.
Nubis, who stood behind the pagoda, was not injured at all.
Soon after, a loud tiger's roar rang out. A white figure flashed and a majestic white tiger appeared behind the three of them.
The white tiger was three meters long and had a pair of wings on its back. As it stood there, a pressure immediately radiated from its body, as if it was a king that had descended upon the world. Its presence was even denser than the Holy Emperor's.
A figure sat on the white tiger's back. It was Jianchen!
When the three of them saw Jianchen behind them, their eyes immediately widened. Disbelief filled their faces.
"Jianchen, you've actually escaped. How is this possible …"
"You've actually escaped from the formation. Have you already broken through the formation …"
"Impossible. The crack from the Emperor Armament has already healed. How did you escape …"
