Tesnik's expression changed slightly when he heard Jianchen's words, but a cold light flashed through his eyes. He laughed aloud, "Ruler of the Turtle clan, you're quite knowledgeable. You've actually seen through the secret that I haven't fully grasped the divine hall. That's right, it's just as you said. I still haven't fully grasped the Eight Wastelands Divine Hall, so I can only use a portion of its power. Although it's nowhere close to the power of an emperor, it's definitely not something you can contend against.
"Although the sliver of power from before failed to heavily injure you, it was enough to force you to block it with all your strength. I just wonder how much you can endure."
With that, Tesnik suddenly pushed his hand forward. Immediately, several strands of the divine hall's power shot toward Jianchen with devastating might.
Jianchen was stern. Blocking a strand of the divine hall's power before was already his limit. Now that he was facing several powerful divine halls, it was definitely not something he could contend against, even with the help of the Emperor Armament.
Jianchen's current strength was only at the peak of the Seventh Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor with the Emperor Armament, while the divine hall's power was at the Eighth or even Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor at the very least. It had already exceeded the limits of what Jianchen could handle.
With a thought, a golden streak of light immediately shot out from Jianchen's forehead. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a golden pagoda before him. The pagoda rapidly expanded, turning into a golden pagoda that stood in front of Jianchen in a single moment.
Boom!
The divine hall's power struck the golden pagoda, erupting with a deafening boom. Violent ripples of energy wreaked havoc in the hall, kicking up a storm of energy.
The golden pagoda didn't even shake after withstanding the attacks of the Divine Palace's power. These attacks, which were comparable to the power of the Holy Emperor's Nine Levels of Heaven, couldn't even leave a mark on the Divine Artifact.
Jianchen hid behind the sacred artifact and slapped it with his left hand. The 30-meter-tall sacred artifact was sent flying towards Tesnik by Jianchen's palm power.
Jianchen gripped the Emperor Armament in his right hand tightly as he stuck close to the saint artifact. He used the saint artifact as a cover as he rapidly approached Tisnike.
"Hmph, I want to see how many of my attacks your Golden Divine Pagoda can block." Thisnike sneered. Controlling a portion of the Divine Hall's power gave him the strength to be fearless against 16th Star Poseidon warriors. With his confidence inflated, he did not take Jianchen seriously at all.
Thisnike suddenly swung his arms and immediately, countless strands of power shot toward the Emperor Armament as finger-sized strands of sword Qi. Every single strand of power was equally powerful.
Violent booms constantly rang out as the divine hall's power constantly struck the saint artifact. The violent ripples of energy formed a terrifying shockwave that forcefully stopped the saint artifact's advance. It stopped thirty meters away from Thisnike, unable to advance any further.
Suddenly, the saint artifact shone with a bright, golden light, enveloping a radius of a hundred meters. The area enveloped by the golden light had basically become the saint artifact's domain. The saint artifact could take anyone in or out of the artifact space as it wished, provided that the person did not resist at all.
In the next moment, a violent energy filled with a destructive presence suddenly appeared behind Tisnick. The Emperor Armament shone with a black light as it stabbed toward Tisnick with unbelievable speed.
Although Thisnike controlled a portion of the divine hall's power, his personal strength remained at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler. He was unable to react to Jianchen's sudden attack at all.
The Emperor Armament struck Tisnike, but it was blocked by the power of the divine hall around him. The power protecting Thisnike immediately began to pulse violently after taking on the Emperor Armament's attack, but it stabilized very soon.
Jianchen's arm suddenly trembled as he used the Swift Sword. The Emperor Armament had already turned into a blur in Jianchen's hand, stabbing toward the layer of power around Thisnike at an indiscernible speed.
Jianchen struck out with unbelievable speed. In just a single moment, he had stabbed out several dozen times. Every single strike was at the peak of the Seventh Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor, and they all struck the same spot.
Although the power of the temple protecting Tisnike was very strong, it couldn't withstand such a fierce attack. In the end, a small hole was opened in it.
Jianchen's eyes lit up. Powerful killing intent radiated from him without any disguise at all. He immediately controlled the Emperor Armament and pierced through the divine hall's defenses, stabbing into Thisnike's body mercilessly.
Spurt! The Emperor Armament emerged from Thisnike's chest. Droplets of blood constantly dripped from the tip of the sword as powerful Chaotic Force surged out of the Emperor Armament, wreaking havoc in Thisnike's body.
"Argh!" Thisnike uncontrollably cried out. The Chaotic Force that had entered his body was extremely powerful. Only the third layer of the Chaotic Body could endure it, so it was impossible for Thisnike's fragile body to endure the destruction of the Chaotic Body. Wherever the Chaotic Force passed by, his flesh would explode with a heavy sound as blood splattered in all directions.
"Ruler of the Turtle clan, even if I have to die here, I will drag you down with me," Thisnike cried out in despair. Determination filled his eyes. He wanted to use the sliver of emperor's power within him to take down Jianchen with him.
Jianchen could tell what Thisnike was thinking. His eyes immediately turned cold, and his left hand struck Thisnike's head with lightning-like speed. The heavy force directly shattered Thisnike's head, wiping out his soul.
With Thisnike's death, the divine hall lost control and began to slowly disperse.
Swish!
The thirty-meter-long saint artifact shrank back to the size of a fist. It shot into Jianchen's forehead as a golden streak of light, entering Jianchen's sea of consciousness.
Nubis walked over from afar. He could not help but exhale deeply when he saw the withered Thisnike on the ground. He said, "That bastard is finally dead. He controlled the divine hall's power earlier and was actually able to unleash an attack at the Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. I gave him a fright, but he still wasn't your opponent in the end, Jianchen." Nubis finally relaxed.
Jianchen secretly sighed in relief as he stared at Thisnike's corpse with mixed feelings. He returned the Emperor Armament to his Space Ring before slowly making his way to Thisnike's corpse. He crouched down and gently placed his hand on Thisnike's chest.
An extremely powerful pulse of energy pulsed from Thisnike's chest. Jianchen then sucked out a thumb-sized strand of pure energy. It was emperor's power.
Jianchen carefully sucked in the strand of emperor's power. He was extremely stern. He knew extremely well that this was true emperor's power. It was much more powerful than the divine hall Thisnike controlled.
"Jianchen, do you plan on keeping this emperor's power with you?" Nubis stared at Jianchen in surprise.
Jianchen nodded, "Correct, that's exactly what I was thinking. This emperor's power is extremely powerful. Although it's only a single strike, it's enough to heavily injure a Ninth Heavenly Layer Holy Emperor. If it's used properly, it can even kill a Ninth Heavenly Layer Holy Emperor."
Jianchen put away the emperor's power, but he did not dare to store it in his body. Instead, he stored it in the artifact space, where the Artifact Spirit watched over it. As a result, even if the emperor's power suddenly erupted, the Artifact Spirit would be able to block it.
"Although I can refine this strand of emperor's power into Chaotic Force, the amount of Chaotic Force it can provide is extremely limited. It won't be of much help at all. If I use it to injure my enemies, I can threaten a Ninth Heavenly Layer Holy Emperor. Only then can the strand of emperor's power be maximized," Jianchen thought.
"Jianchen, you really did it. You did not disappoint me," suddenly, a gentle and pleasant voice rang out.
The sudden appearance of the Saint Weapon stunned both Jianchen and Nubis. Afterwards, they raised their heads and saw an illusionary woman hovering in the air before them.
"Poseidon, it's actually you," Jianchen and Nubis immediately recognized the illusionary woman and were both shocked.
"Jianchen, you've obtained the Emperor Armament the Human Emperor left behind after his death, and this divine hall is about to fall into your hands as well. Are you satisfied with what you've obtained from the divine hall of the Eight Wastelands?" Poseidon's voice rang out. Her voice was pleasant, like the music of the heavens.
"Your majesty Poseidon, since you can enter the divine hall of the Eight Wastelands as you please, you must know about the schemes within," Jianchen asked sternly.
"That's right. I do know about everything here, including the matters of the Blood Demon Emperor and Emperor Gu Le. But don't worry, I called you to the divine hall of the Eight Wastelands out of consideration for you. I don't mean you any harm. At the same time, what happened in the divine hall is a test for you, "Poseidon said.
Jianchen fell silent. The goddess of the Sea race was one of the four supreme experts of ancient times, an existence that surpassed the Holy Emperor. Her abilities far exceeded what Jianchen knew. Jianchen knew that everything that happened in the divine hall of the Eight Wastelands had probably always been under Poseidon's surveillance.
"Your majesty Poseidon, you've helped me time and time again. May I ask what you want me to do for you?" Jianchen asked.
Poseidon remained silent for a while before replying, "Jianchen, I want you to go to a place and retrieve something for me. That's why I'm helping you."
"What do you want? Can't you find experts to help you with your identity as the goddess of the Sea race?" Jianchen was curious.
"No, you're probably the only one who can enter that place. Everyone else will die, even experts like the Holy Emperor," Poseidon said.
