Among the four, the middle aged man was in the same group as Tesnik. He had been hiding very deeply and kept a very low profile. That was why he had stayed by Tesnik's side for so long without being discovered by Tesnik.
Tesniak's sharp gaze swept over them, and then he looked towards the depths of the hall, a burning look in his eyes.
In the depths of the great hall, there was a huge stone statue standing there. The stone statue had the appearance of a middle-aged man. The sculpture was extremely lifelike, as if it was a real person. It was filled with charm. He seemed to have completely fused with the world as he stood there. He had become one with the world, where there was no distinction between the two.
Gazing at the stone statue, everyone standing in the hall felt as if there was a vast pressure pressing down on their souls, making them want to prostrate themselves in worship of the stone statue.
"Is this the emperor of the Eight Wastelands?" Jianchen struggled to remain calm as he stared at the huge statue.
However, Jianchen soon thought of what elder Hong had told him. He looked around and thought, "Elder Hong said that the most precious thing in the divine hall of the Eight Wastelands is this divine hall other than the legacy of the emperor of the Eight Wastelands. As long as I can find the core of the divine hall, I'll be able to control it, but where is it?"
"Jianchen, why isn't the Emperor Armament here? Where did it go?" Suddenly, Nubis' voice rang out in Jianchen's head.
Jianchen was slightly surprised when he heard that. A gleam of light flashed through his eyes, and he looked around carefully. He actually failed to find any traces of the Emperor Armament.
"Why is it like this? We clearly made our way here through the door the Emperor Armament opened, so why is there no trace of the Emperor Armament here?" Jianchen thought inside as his face became unsettled.
At this moment, Tisnike's voice rang out, "If I've guessed correctly, the legacy of the Eight Wastelands must be in that statue because it's the only thing that remains intact here. However, there are seven of us here right now, and only one of us can obtain the legacy of the Eight Wastelands. Do you have any good plans to deal with this?"
The light in everyone's eyes immediately flickered when they heard that. They all cautiously stared at the surroundings to avoid any sudden attacks.
All of them were tempted by the legacy of the Eight Wastelands. They had spent so much effort to make it here, so how could they give up so easily?
The hall immediately fell into a deathly silence. The seven of them stood there silently as the atmosphere became extremely oppressive. A faint killing intent gradually permeated the hall.
"Let me see if the legacy of the Eight Wastelands is in the statue or not." The oppressive atmosphere in the hall was finally broken. The old woman extended a finger and immediately, a strand of the Holy Emperor's Force shot out, viciously colliding with the statue.
Tisnike and the others did not stop her. Instead, they stared at the statue. They weren't sure if this stone statue was the Eight Barren Great Emperor or not. They also didn't know if the stone statue contained the Eight Barren Great Emperor's inheritance. They all wanted to use the old woman to test the stone statue's authenticity.
Boom!
The statue was even more fragile than they had imagined. The old woman's Holy Emperor's Force easily destroyed the statue, causing it to scatter in all directions.
Seeing this scene, everyone's faces were filled with disappointment. It had been destroyed so easily. They did not dare to believe that the Eight Barren Great Emperor's inheritance had been left behind in the stone statue.
However, at this moment, a ball of azure light appeared from the shattered statue. A ball of azure light silently hovered in the air above the head of the statue, emitting a hazy azure light.
Everyone in the hall, including Jianchen, immediately stared at the ball of azure light. Tisnike could not help but cry out, "Is this the legacy of the Eight Wastelands?"
Everyone's expressions changed when they heard Tisnike's words. Their eyes immediately burned with desire. Even Jianchen and Nubis were no exception.
This was the legacy of a Holy Emperor. It contained all of the Holy Emperor's knowledge and comprehension of the mysteries of the world. If they obtained it, reaching the level of a Holy Emperor would only be a matter of time.
"Something's not right." Suddenly, Jianchen's eyes narrowed. He stared closely at the ball of azure light as surprise and uncertainty filled his eyes. His soul was extremely powerful, far surpassing Tisnike and the others. At this moment, he could actually vaguely sense the pulses of a soul within the azure light. Although it was very weak, it was extremely active.
"That soul is awake. The azure light is a seal to prevent the pulses of the soul from spreading out and being sensed by others." Jianchen suddenly thought of something like that, which made his face pale slightly.
When he thought of the various strange things he had encountered after entering the divine hall of the Eight Wastelands, he suddenly reached an unbelievable conclusion. The emperor of the Eight Wastelands was still alive!
A few whistles suddenly rang out. Tisnike and the four others had already charged towards the ball of azure light. They moved as fast as lightning.
Nubis did not hesitate at all. However, just when he wanted to join in, Jianchen suddenly grabbed his shoulder and said, "Don't go. This matter isn't as simple as it seems."
After all these years together, Nubis had basically become a blind newcomer to Jianchen. When he heard Jianchen's words, he immediately suppressed his impulses and did not join in.
Tisnike and the four others arrived before the ball of azure light with lightning-like speed. They actually extended their hands towards it at the same time.
At this moment, something happened. The azure light suddenly vanished, replaced by a dazzling, blood-red light. Before Tisnike and the others could react, it shot towards the five of them with unbelievable speed, disappearing into their heads in a single moment.
"Hahahahaha, the Emperor has finally waited for this day. The day when the Emperor reappears is not far away. Poseidon Hall, Serpent God Hall, Heaven's Spirit Hall, once the Emperor possesses you, the Emperor will destroy all of you before long." Wild laughter rang out in the air. It was extremely arrogant.
The sudden change caused Jianchen and Nubis to become stern. In particular, the wild laughter that had appeared out of nowhere made Jianchen and Nubis' hearts sink to rock bottom.
"I- i- is this the voice of the emperor of the Eight Wastelands? The emperor of the Eight Wastelands is still alive?" Nubis' voice trembled slightly. At that moment, he and Jianchen both understood that the divine hall of the Eight Wastelands was actually a scheme, a scheme for the emperor to be reborn.
Jianchen's face was extremely sunken. He said, "I finally understand why the blood of those people and vicious beasts would suddenly be absorbed by the divine hall. So it was all part of the emperor of the Eight Wastelands' scheme. Right now, the emperor of the Eight Wastelands only has his soul left. After slumbering for so many years, his soul must have become extremely weak. He needs to absorb the essence of the blood of those experts and vicious beasts to recover. "
Nubis's face became extremely ugly. He said in a hurry, "Jianchen, we can't stay here any longer. Let's leave quickly."
Jianchen shook his head powerlessly. "So the divine hall of the Eight Wastelands is a trap. The so-called legacy of the emperor of the Eight Wastelands is all fake. No wonder we couldn't find the way out earlier. We can only enter the divine hall, not leave. There's no way out at all. We can't leave now."
The five people who had been shot by the red light all cried out miserably. They all clutched their heads in pain as they rolled on the ground.
"Hahaha, there's actually a king as well. Then the Emperor will choose you." The arrogant voice rang out in the empty hall once more. Afterwards, several explosions rang out. Aside from Tisnike, the heads of the other four people all exploded. Their souls were wiped out.
Afterwards, the red light that had burrowed into their heads all squeezed into Tisnike's head.
These red lights were the Primordial Spirit of a person.
"The emperor of the Eight Wastelands. You're the emperor of the Eight Wastelands. You're actually still alive!" Tisnike roared out in pain. His face had already paled. He could sense that his soul was gradually being devoured by an even more powerful soul.
"The emperor of the Eight Wastelands, you can forget about devouring my soul," Tisnike's eyes flashed with rage. A fierce light shone in Tesnik's eyes. Soon after, an extremely terrifying energy ripple radiated from his body, filling the entire hall with a world-destroying might.
The hall began to shake violently. At that moment, it seemed like the entire divine hall of the Eight Wastelands was shaking gently. The powerful energy radiating from Tisnike was enough to destroy the entire divine hall.
"God dammit, this is emperor's power. You actually have emperor's power within you," the emperor of the Eight Wastelands cried out in fear. He had once been an emperor, but he was only a weak soul right now. It was more than enough to deal with Saint Rulers like Tisnike, but he could not resist emperor's power at all. Just a strand of emperor's power was enough to wipe him out.
Immediately, the emperor of the Eight Wastelands no longer dared to remain in Tisnike's body. His soul immediately flew out, flying toward Jianchen and Nubis as a blood-red streak of light.
The emperor of the Eight Wastelands' soul flew extremely quickly. It arrived before Jianchen in the blink of an eye and directly burrowed into Jianchen's head before Jianchen could even react.
Jianchen's face changed, and he paled in a single moment. His facial muscles constantly twisted, clearly in great pain.
However, Jianchen's soul was far more powerful than Tisnike's. Although the emperor of the Eight Wastelands' soul brought him great pain, it was still within a range that he could endure.
"Jianchen, Jianchen, are you alright?" Nubis' cries rang out, but Jianchen could no longer hear them. His consciousness had entered his sea of consciousness with the emperor of the Eight Wastelands' soul.
At this moment, Jianchen's figure appeared out of nowhere in his sea of consciousness. Before him was a young man who seemed to be in his twenties. The young man wore blood-red robes and his face was filled with evilness. Even his eyes and hair were blood-red, as if they had been dyed with blood.
