Chapter 858: Goddess of the Sea Race

The saint artifact trembled violently in Ling Yuanzi’s hand . It wanted to break free but no matter how it tried, it failed . Ling Yuanzi’s hand seemed like a steel claw that grasped the artifact tightly .

Disheveled, Ling Yuanzi stared viciously at the saint artifact in his hand . He laughed aloud . “I never thought that this would be a treasure that can store living people . From today onward, this belongs to me . Jian Chen, you injured my origin soul . I’ll take your treasure as compensation . ”

Hum!

The trembling of the artifact became even more violent . It began to radiate brightly with golden light but it was all to no avail . Although the artifact spirit possessed the strength of a Saint Emperor within the artifact space, its external abilities were too weak due to innate limitations . Even Saint Rulers would be able to restrain it, let alone supreme Saint Kings .

“Jian Chen, give up . I want to see how you’re able to escape from me . When I take you back to the clan, I have all the methods in the world to deal with you . ” sneered Ling Yuanzi . Enveloped with a layer of powerful Saint Force, he trapped the saint artifact in his palm before he swung out with his other hand . He directly cut open the space and created a Space Gate, about to leave .

At this very moment, a vast, boundless energy appeared abruptly . It shot toward Ling Yuanzi viciously with an aura of destruction .

The appearance of this energy was too sudden . It traveled too quickly, preventing Ling Yuanzi from reacting at all . It had also locked onto Ling Yuanzi’s presence; he was unable to dodge at all .

Meanwhile, a terrifying energy from the soul permeated the sky and forcefully collapsed the Space Gate ripped open by Ling Yuanzi .

Ling Yuanzi roared out . He no longer suppressed his injuries and struck out with all he had toward the powerful energy that surged in his direction .

His Saint Weapon exploded with light and great energy rippled mightily in the surroundings . Afterward, he swung down with it; this terrifying attack caused the space to be annihilated and revealed a patch of darkness .

Boom!

Ling Yuanzi was not a match for it when the two attacks collided . He was wounded greatly once again, sent flying backward as he vomited blood . His complexion became ghastly, now extremely weak .

The saint artifact took advantage of this opportunity to break free from Ling Yuanzi’s grasp, turning into a streak of golden light and disappearing into the vast ocean below .

Ling Yuanzi was astounded . The person who had attacked secretly was just too terrifying . Their strength completely exceeded his, which caused him a substantial shock .

Ling Yuanzi struggled as he stayed afloat in the sky . He quickly pulled out a piece of jade from his Space Ring before he crushed it without any hesitation . Only then did he greatly relax .

“I wonder who is it that struck out secretly and has something against us ten protector clans, to ruin what we’re doing . ” Ling Yuanzi immediately became confident and called out with difficulty .

Bi Yifei also arrived before Ling Yuanzi with Bi Jian . He looked around cautiously; the person who had attacked secretly was just too powerful . Even at his peak, Bi Yifei had no confidence in absolute victory, much less now .

At this very moment, a vague figure suddenly appeared a hundred meters away from the three of them . She was a tall, slender woman in a blue dress and seemed to be in her twenties . Her blue hair fell like a waterfall to her feet, while her face was illusionary, blurry and unable to be seen properly . All over, she radiated naturally with a unique aura . It was filled with holiness and nobility as if she could not be offended . It disinclined people from being disrespectful from the bottom of their hearts .

Bi Yifei and Ling Yuanzi were both surprised even though they were Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Kings . This was because the blurry, mysterious woman caused them to be filled with an urge to prostrate themselves .

It shocked both of them very much to feel this . Even when they faced up against Saint Emperors such as the path lord of carnal desires or the tiger emperor Lankyros, they would not feel something like this .

“Who are you!?” Ling Yuanzi cried out . His confidence had already begun to slip away . He could feel the strength and terror of this mysterious woman .

“Human, you’ve intruded into the territory of us, the Sea race . Leave immediately . ” The illusionary woman’s pearl-like teeth moved slightly . Her voice was calm and cold, without any emotions .

Ling Yuanzi was astonished . He asked with a gruff voice, “Are you a Saint Emperor from the Sea race?”

“I am the goddess of the Sea race . ” The woman’s voice was as calm as ever .

“What! The sea goddess!?”

Bi Yifei and Ling Yuanzi paled in fright . They staggered backward, while waves of emotion roared through their hearts .

“Leave the territory of my Sea race in three seconds . ” The woman threw down a final sentence before she disappeared . She was now nowhere to be seen .

However, her appearance had brought tremendous shock to both Bi Yifei and Ling Yuanzi . It stunned them on the spot, their minds ceasing thought . When they had returned to their senses, they no longer dared to stay any longer . What Jian Chen? What Winged Tiger God? Thoughts such as those were all cast aside by them . They left as if they were fleeing for their lives .

The sea goddess was a supreme champion that had surpassed Saint Emperor . In the current age, who could be her enemy?

Not long afterward, Ling Yuanzi united with the people who had rushed over from the Yiyuan sect . He described everything that had happened in detail to the other great elders .

“What? The sea goddess’s not dead?”

Hearing Ling Yuanzi’s report, the great elders all paled in fright . They were shocked . This piece of news was just like a crack of thunder to them . It was unbelievable .

“Let’s head back immediately and quickly call on the other protector clans and Mercenary City to discuss this matter . ” The people from the sect quickly left the ocean along with Bi Yifei .

… 

Currently, the saint artifact hung in the air as it radiated with a faint golden light in a dark cave . When it had escaped from Ling Yuanzi, the saint artifact had descended into the depths of the ocean, before finally passing through a powerful barrier and entering another world . Afterward, it hid in a cave .

Although the world was located under the sea, it was enveloped by a very powerful barrier that kept all the seawater out . It created an independent space for the world under the sea .

Within the saint artifact, Jian Chen and Nubis accepted the origin energy of Radiant Saint Force from the artifact spirit and were recovering . The two of them were enveloped by a milky white light as their injuries healed quickly .

This time, the attacks they had received were from Saint Kings . The injuries were extremely heavy and it took Nubis an entire day to recover . As for Jian Chen, his body still contained some residual energy from the Saint Tier Battle Skill as he was injured by it . His condition was even worse and he struggled to heal himself .

“That Saint Tier Battle Skill really is powerful . If you want to completely heal the wounds left behind by it, you need several strands of origin energy . Just one will not be enough . ” The artifact spirit stood before Jian Chen, pouring several strands of origin energy consecutively into his body . It slowly healed the wounds left behind by the Saint Tier Battle Skill .

The origin energy controlled by the artifact spirit was much more powerful that Jian Chen’s origin energy . With him helping out, the effects would be greater .

After consuming several strands, Jian Chen finally recovered completely . However, his loss of a five hundred years of life from casting the forbidden Radiant Arte could not be recovered no matter what he tried .

As a result, Jian Chen recovered from his injuries but he clearly still felt weak .

“Artifact spirit, how is the situation outside?” As soon as he recovered, Jian Chen asked the artifact spirit immediately .

“Master, we’re completely safe now . We’ve reached the Sea race,” said the artifact spirit .

With that, Jian Chen finally relaxed slightly . He gave out a soft sigh . “What a pity . Even with five hundred years of my life as the price, the God’s Descent was unable to kill the two of them . ”

“Jian Chen, you should know where to draw the line . They were both Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Kings and were heavily injured by you . Additionally, they’ve received wounds to their origin souls where it's extremely difficult to recover from . They’ve paid an extremely heavy price and in the end, you even forced that old man to cast his Saint Tier Battle Skill,” said Nubis .

“If it weren’t for the battle skill destroying my God’s Descent, I had the confidence of killing the two of them . If I used a millennia of my life as the price, I’m confident I could’ve forcefully taken on his Saint Tier Battle Skill and then killed them afterward,” said Jian Chen expressionlessly . He felt rather regretful; he was so close to killing two great Saint Kings this time .

“A thousand years of life!” Nubis immediately leaped up and stared at Jian Chen wide-eyed . “Kiddo Jian Chen, do you think your life is too long? Five hundred years is already terrifying enough and yet you still want to pay a thousand years of your life to kill two Saint Kings . Why would you even do such an unworthwhile thing? With your talent, you’ll probably reach Saint Emperor in another thousand years . At that time, you’ll have the power to kill your way through the protector clans . Why must you be so wrapped up in the moment?”

Jian Chen stood up and said, “Nubis, let’s not talk about this for now . I plan on going into seclusion for some time after this . ”

“Alright, I’ll go into seclusion too . When I absorb all the hidden essence left in that old snake, I’ll be able to reach Saint King successfully,” said Nubis .

At that very moment, the artifact spirit’s expression changed slightly . He said, “The senses of the Sea race is just too powerful . Master, a few people have already discovered our existence and are currently hurrying over . ”

With that, Jian Chen’s face darkened slightly . “Looks like it’s not the time to go into seclusion right now . ”

“Jian Chen, let’s go out first . The secret of the saint artifact cannot become widespread . We definitely can’t let the people of the Sea race discover its existence . Once any news of it is leaked, it’ll cause quite some trouble,” said Nubis .

Afterwards, Nubis and Jian Chen appeared outside with a flash of white light in the gloomy cave . Jian Chen stored the artifact away, before they concealed their presences and walked outside .

Arriving outside the cave, Jian Chen unconsciously looked upward . The sky was a deep blue, consisting of seawater that was forcefully blocked by the barrier . The barrier shone with a gentle blue light that illuminated the entire world . The territory of the Sea race was dyed blue by the light from the barrier .

Where the Sea race thrived, the temperature was rather low . The outside sun could not be seen at all, while some energy of the six attributes were lacking . The water attribute was extremely powerful, several times denser than on the Tian Yuan Continent, while the other attributes were much weaker . The fire attribute was not present at all .

“Is this the world of the Sea race?” murmured Jian Chen as he gazed at the unfamiliar world .

Although Nubis knew that the Sea race existed from his inherited memories, it was the first time he had come here . Naturally, he was extremely curious too, constantly moving his head to look around .

Far away, over ten figures appeared suddenly . They radiated with a water-blue light as they sped toward Jian Chen and Nubis in the air with the assistance of water-attributed energy .
