Chapter 1154: A Struggle Between the Strong (Four)
The Saint Kings from the protector and ancient clans imdiately charged in the direction the battle had erupted.
Almost all the vengeful spirits in the third zone of the Death Nest had gathered around the Saints’ Fruit, so there were very few vengeful spirits elsewhere. This allowed the party of Saint Kings to travel without problems. There was not a single vengeful spirit that blocked their way until they reached the edge of the battle.
However, all of them beca dumbfounded when they arrived. They all stared in front in astoundnt as they experienced a great shock.
In front of them, over five hundred Saint Emperor vengeful spirits ford a black mass. They surged toward a location in a blanketing fashion, and all of them used various, powerful attacks. The attacks drowned the area, causing the ground to rumble.
Dazzling, golden sword Qi would shoot out from the encirclent of countless vengeful spirits from ti to ti. There would also be white flas between the spirits, radiating with a terrifying temperature. However, it was impossible to see the people trapped in the encirclent.
“Only a Saint Emperor can block the attacks from so many Saint Emperor vengeful spirits, but we only have a single human Saint Emperor, and it’s clearly not him, so who are they? Are they the Saint Emperors from the Beast God Continent?”
“No, they’re not Saint Emperors from the Beast God Continent. Their presences are completely off.”
“Does that an that there’s more than a single Saint Emperor on our continent?”
...
The people from the protector clans and the ancient clans were all greatly shocked. In the current age, there were extrely few Saint Emperors. Even with the entire world in perspective, there was a countable amount of them, yet two Saint Emperors had just suddenly appeared here. This was an extrely astounding piece of news.
Suddenly, an extrely terrifying ripple of energy erupted. All that could be seen was a huge, glimring sword Qi, a dazzling blade of light, and a burning, three-ter-long hairpin break from the encirclent together. Wherever they passed, the vengeful spirits would collapse into dark mist. They had dispersed over twenty vengeful spirits instantly.
A gap appeared in the encirclent of the vengeful spirits, and Rui Jin, Hong Lian, and Hei Yu imdiately charged out. They continued to approach the Saints’ Fruit, growing closer and closer.
“It’s them! It’s actually the dragon and the other magical beast that fought against the path lord of carnal desires and the Saint Emperors from the Beast God Continent.” Many people imdiately recognized them, and they all spoke at once.
“They possess origin energy weapons that can injure Saint Emperors and origin energy armors that make it difficulty for Saint Emperors to harm them! They also own a wondrous bead that protects their soul. They’re relying on these three treasures, which is why they can survive the encirclent of so many vengeful spirits,” a Saint King from an ancient clan said in envy.
“If I had those three treasures, I could kill a path through the vengeful spirits as well,” so people thought inside. They struggled to hide their envy.
“The Saints’ Fruit! That’s the Saints’ Fruit!” Suddenly, soone cried out from the crowd and everyone glanced over imdiately. They discovered an ordinary, little tree standing all by itself on the scarlet ground. It had nine leaves, and between the leaves hung a fist-sized fruit. It no longer glowed since it had returned to how it was before. It was simple, just like an ordinary piece of fruit.
All the people gathered here originated from ancient organizations. The Saints’ Fruit was recorded in great detail in the books at their clans, so they recognized it as soon as they saw it.
All of their gazes began to burn with an urge. An extrely powerful desire to own it was ignited at the bottom of their hearts. The current world made it very difficult to reach Saint Emperor while the fruit was the only shortcut to beco a Saint Emperor. No one could resist such a great temptation.
At this mont, no one paid any more attention to Rui Jin and the two others. The Saints’ Fruit had drawn all of their attention, and the next mont, all the Saint Kings, regardless whether or not they were from the protector clans or the ancient clans, all charged toward the fruit as fast as they could with their eyes green with envy.
Their movents imdiately alerted a portion of the vengeful spirits around Rui Jin and the others. Close to two hundred vengeful spirits imdiately broke from the group, blocking the Saint Kings as black streaks of light. The two sides imdiately began to fight, erupting into an intense battle.
Over a hundred human Saint Kings ferociously clashed with over two hundred Saint Emperor vengeful spirits. All the Saint Kings wanted to break free from the vengeful spirits as soon as possible to retrieve the Saints’ Fruit, so they used everything they had. Various powerful Saint Tier Battle Skills and ancient secret techniques were used unceasingly.
Trendous energy ripples shook up the surroundings, almost destroying everything. Storms of energy whistled around, causing the mist in the Death Nest to churn. The two sides were actually locked in a stalemate.
The vengeful spirits were extrely powerful when they were still alive, but their strength had decreased now. At the sa ti, the human experts knew powerful Saint Tier Battle Skills and ancient secret techniques. In a one-on-one situation, the Saint Kings could rival the vengeful spirits, unless a powerful existence like Gustys appeared.
The pressure Rui Jin, Hong Lian, and Hei Yu were under imdiately decreased. They let out a breath of relief inside and secretly thanked the ten protector clans. They thanked them for reducing the pressure they were under.
At this mont, another group flew over from behind. They were the Saint Kings of the second wave. They did not possess ancient legacies, so they had no idea about the Saints’ Fruit.
However, since they could beco Saint Kings, they were all intelligent people. They all knew that there was sothing inside that even the ten protector clans would drool over.
“There’s a small tree over there and there’s a fruit on it. It’s definitely an extrely valuable heavenly resource,” the second group of people exclaid when they saw the Saints’ Fruit.
The hearts of the people from the first wave sank. Shortly after the second group arrived, all of them in the first group quickly retreated, drawing the vengeful spirits back with them as they retreated to the second group. They pulled them into the battle as well.
The vengeful spirits were no longer their opponent with the addition of the second group. They were suppressed by the joint attacks of the Saint Kings and many of the spirits collapsed.
Over two hundred more vengeful spirits broke away from the encirclent around Rui Jin and the others. They aggressively surged toward the group of Saint Kings.
With this, the vengeful spirits around the three of them imdiately dropped to under two hundred. This allowed the three of them to rejoice. With their strength, they paved a path and quickly approached the fruit.
“The Saints’ Fruit is a treasure of us humans. Don’t you dare take it, you outsiders!” Yi Yangzi discovered what Rui Jin and the others were doing, and he imdiately fell into a rage. He roared out and imdiately abandoned the vengeful spirits he was fighting. He charged toward the three of them with a few other experts of the protector clans in an attempt to stop them.
“You overestimate yourselves if you want to stop ,” Hong Lian coldly said in disdain. A great stream of burning white flas imdiately shot from her hairpin, enveloping Yi Yangzi and the others.
Yi Yangzi’s face changed, and he imdiately dodged. However, a Saint King at the Eighth Heavenly Layer was a little too slow. The flas swept past his lower half and his legs began to burn. His flesh was burned to ash, but the terrifying white flas did not stop just there. Instead, it quickly spread to his upper half through his legs.
“Argh!” The person shrieked out miserably. His lower half was disappearing bit by bit. The white flas contained unbelievable power. They could not be put out at all.
This was the fire that ca from the origin energy weapon. It was countless tis stronger than what Hong Lian could control herself.
Swish!
With a flash, a Saint King firmly struck out. He split his companion in half along the waist, which prevented the terrifying outco of the flas spreading to his upper body.
“What terrifying flas!” This stunned many Saint Kings. Many of them beca fearful of the flas.
“How can you foreigners lay your hands on a sacred item of the humans!” At this very mont, an ancient voice bood out from the battle between the Saint Kings and vengeful spirits. Four ruddy old n sat in the middle of the air as wisps of mist enshrouded them. They seed like immortals. More than ten Saint Kings covered them, blocking the attacks from the vengeful spirits.
“It’s the people of the Shenxiao sect. Looks like they’re about to cast God’s Heavenly Thunder...”
“It’s rumored that God’s Heavenly Thunder is the supre technique of the Shenxiao sect. It can draw in the heavenly thunder that resides above the nine heavens. A Saint Emperor was struck by it once, and he died on the spot. He was burnt to a crisp.”
A few Saint Kings from ancient clans could not help but cry out.
