Noticing the gazes of the people in the surroundings, Jianchen coldly smiled. He raised the shrunken Eight Wastelands Divine Hall high in the air and yelled, "If you want the Eight Wastelands Divine Hall, feel free to come and take it."
Jianchen's arrogance and disregard for everyone immediately caused the expressions of many people to sink. Great anger surged within them.
The people who could make it there were all peak experts of the various large clans in the sea realm without exception. Every single one of them had lived for several thousand years and were old monsters who valued their reputation more than anything else. How could they allow a junior to act so presumptuously before them?
"Insolent brat, how dare you act so arrogantly? Let's get Old Man to teach you a lesson in place of your seniors. I'll let you know that there's always someone better than you out there." A hunchbacked old man with wrinkles on his face immediately bellowed out. He immediately shot toward Jianchen from the group of people from the Serpent God Hall with lightning-like speed. His skinny hands swung toward Jianchen with great force.
The old man was a 16th Star expert. He had reached the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor and was a renowned expert in the territory of the Serpent God Hall.
The two hall elders of the Serpent God Hall did not stop him at all. Instead, they glared at the two hall elders from the Poseidon Hall. A tremendous presence vaguely radiated from them, locking onto the two hall elders from the Poseidon Hall.
Elder Hong's face sank, and his gaze sharpened at that moment. He stared at the two hall elders of the Serpent God Hall like two sharp swords.
A visible light shone from the eyes of the woman beside the two hall elders as well. She stared at the two hall elders coldly as undisguised killing intent filled her eyes.
The two hall elders from the Poseidon Hall were secretly being held back by the two hall elders of the Serpent God Hall. If they assisted Jianchen, they would definitely suffer the fierce attacks of the two hall elders.
Jianchen coldly stared at the old man who was shooting towards him. A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said, "Good timing." With a flip of his hand, the Emperor Armament appeared in Jianchen's hand. With the injection of Chaotic Force, the Emperor Armament immediately radiated with a surging, black light. A destructive presence enveloped the entire region, causing the expressions of everyone present to change.
The expression of the expert from the Serpent God Hall who had attacked Jianchen drastically changed. The energy that erupted from the Emperor Armament was so powerful that even he shivered in fear. It was not an attack that he could withstand.
"How is this possible? How did he become so strong? What kind of power is this? It's actually so terrifying." The old man was shocked. Just when he wanted to dodge, the Emperor Armament stabbed toward him as a black streak of light.
"Let's fight!" Running out of options, the old man immediately made up his mind. A spear suddenly appeared in his hand, and he struck out with all his strength to receive the Emperor Armament.
Boom!
The Emperor Armament violently collided with the old man's spear, immediately erupting with a great boom. Jianchen's attack possessed the might of the Seventh Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor, while the old man was only at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. How could he withstand the attack? He immediately vomited blood as he was blown away. His face was pale-white, having been heavily injured.
"That's what they mean by there's always someone better than you. You're a member of the Serpent God Hall. Since you've attacked me, I definitely won't spare you, "Jianchen coldly said. Jian Chen's cold voice rang out. He glared at the old man as killing intent surged in his eyes. He swung his sword from afar, wanting to finish off the old man completely.
A huge strand of sword Qi shot out from the Emperor Armament, turning into a black dragon. It shot toward the old man with lightning-like speed as if it could destroy the world. Wherever the sword Qi passed by, space would be ripped apart. The terrifying ripples of energy caused the expressions of many people to change.
The eyes of the old man who had been blown away by Jianchen's attack suddenly narrowed. His pale face became even paler as despair filled his eyes. He was already heavily injured, so he was unable to dodge the incoming sword Qi. If he had to take on the attack again, he would be half-dead even if he managed to survive.
"Stop!" At this moment, a heavy voice rang out. A hall elder of the Serpent God Hall had taken action. With a gentle wave of his hand, a tremendous amount of energy was immediately emitted, colliding with Jianchen's powerful sword Qi.
With a boom, Jianchen's sword Qi was personally blocked by the hall elder of the Serpent God Hall. The sword Qi and the tremendous ripples of energy from the swing of the hall elder's hand both vanished, having canceled each other out.
Jianchen coldly stared at the hall elder for a while before saying to the old man, "I'll spare your life this time, but you won't be so lucky next time." With that, Jianchen glanced around again and loudly said, "If there's anyone else who wants the divine hall, feel free to come and take it."
This time, the surroundings fell silent. No one dared to say anything. Everyone's gazes toward Jianchen had completely changed. He could heavily injure a 16th Star expert with a casual swing of his sword. Such strength was truly terrifying, enough to make many people fearful.
The current Jianchen possessed the strength to protect the Eight Wastelands Divine Hall.
"Good, good, good. Jianchen, you really do surprise me more and more. I never thought that not only did you obtain the divine hall, but you even found an Emperor Armament left behind by a human emperor. You can actually unleash such terrifying power with the help of the Emperor Armament," elder Hong chuckled as he praised Jian Chen.
The two hall elders of the Serpent God Hall became extremely sunken. Their hatred for Jianchen had reached its limit. Jianchen had first stolen the Abyssal Crystal from the emissary of the Serpent God Hall and fled to the territory of the Poseidon Hall. Now, he was making things difficult for them, which made the two of them feel rather embarrassed.
Most importantly, they suspected that Tesniak had died to Jianchen's hands. Tesniak was the ruler of the Serpent God Clan. He was greatly valued by the hall master and had been bestowed with the power of an emperor. His death was a heavy loss to the entire Serpent God Clan because Tesniak possessed the potential to become an emperor. It was extremely likely for him to become an emperor in the future.
"Let's go!" A hall elder of the Serpent God Hall called out. He left with the people of the Serpent God Hall and no longer mentioned anything else. They all understood that Jianchen was no longer the weakling they could bully in the past.
After the people of the Serpent God Hall left, the people of the Heaven's Spirit Hall and the Poseidon Hall returned at the same time. However, aside from Jianchen and Nubis, everyone's complexions were very ugly.
They had waited bitterly for five years. Originally, they wanted their clansmen to bring back some treasures from the divine hall to revitalize their clans, but they had never thought that this would be the outcome. Out of the one hundred and sixty experts who had entered, only two had returned alive.
Although all of them knew that there were definitely many treasures in the divine hall, none of them dared to ask Jianchen for them because they feared Jianchen's strength.
Jianchen returned to the territory of the Poseidon Hall with elder Hong and the others. He turned down elder Hong's invitation to go to the divine hall and directly made his way to the Turtle clan with Nubis.
At this moment, the five-year period between Jianchen and the Tai Hong clan had arrived a few days ago. The ancestor of the Tai Hong clan had personally arrived at the Turtle clan with a group of experts and was waiting there.
"Don't worry. Although the five-year period is up, I won't make things difficult for you. I know that the ruler of your Turtle clan is still in the divine hall of the Eight Wastelands, so I'll wait here until he comes out. However, if your ruler dies in the divine hall of the Eight Wastelands, you'll lose the bet. According to our agreement, your Turtle clan will join our Tai Hong clan. " The ancestor of the Tai Hong clan stood on the square with his arms crossed. He was composed and confident. He was confident that he would win the bet with Jianchen. This was because he refused to believe that the ruler of the Turtle clan could grow to a level where he could match up to him in just five short years.
The Tai Hong clan did not make things difficult for the Turtle clan. Their goal was to subdue the Turtle clan. At the same time, they had the second and third elders as spies in the Turtle clan, so they would be able to win the hearts of the people if they were slightly more amiable. Coupled with the fact that the two respected elders were persuading the Turtle clan, they would face much fewer obstacles in subduing the Turtle clan.
The experts of the Turtle clan surrounded the people from the Tai Hong clan. Even the second and third elders were present.
"The Tai Hong clan's magnanimity makes us feel ashamed. Our Turtle clan cannot be people who go back on their word. It doesn't matter why the ruler of the Turtle clan is unable to return to the agreement from back then. He has already broken his promise and made our Turtle clan lose face. I now announce that if the ruler of the Turtle clan does not return in three days, we will lose the bet. According to the agreement from before, our Turtle clan will submit to the Tai Hong clan and follow their lead, "the second elder said righteously.
"The second elder is correct. Our Turtle clan may be a tribe, but we are still an ancient clan with a long history. How can we break our promise? I agree with the second elder's suggestion. If the ruler of the Turtle clan does not return in three days, our Turtle clan will submit to the Tai Hong clan," the third elder added.
The people of the Turtle clan looked at each other, but they could not find any words to refute. Although the second and third elders were biased towards the Tai Hong clan, their words were not without reason.
"Second elder, third elder, since when has the fate of the Turtle clan been decided by the two of you?" At this moment, a loud voice rang out from the sky. It echoed, making it impossible to tell where it came from.
"The ruler, it's the ruler's voice. The ruler has returned …"
"The ruler of our Turtle clan has returned …"
Many people of the Turtle clan recognized the owner of the voice and immediately rejoiced. However, the expressions of the second and third elders became rather sunken.
Two figures shot through the sky like meteors, flying over with lightning speed. In the end, they slowly descended under the respectful gazes of over ten thousand people of the Turtle clan. They were Jianchen and Nubis.
Jianchen and Nubis concealed their presences and hid their strength. From the outside, they seemed like ordinary people. No one could see through their strength.
