Chapter 915: Fight for a Class 8 Monster Core

Currently, the two Second Heavenly Layer Class 8 vicious beasts were covered in blood and close to their deaths . Their attacks had also become weaker and weaker as a result .

“Just some more . They can’t last much longer . They’re almost dead,” called out a Saint Ruler as he hurled a fist that struck the head of one of the beasts forcefully . It jolted the beast’s head violently, cracking its skull .

At this moment, a blur arrived with a flash . Jian Chen used the Illusory Flash to get behind the beast and suddenly swung down with the King Armament that radiated with a destructive aura . It cut into the horrifying wound at the beast’s neck .

Crack! The beast was beheaded by Jian Chen’s strike as large amounts of blood spurted from the remaining stump on its body . It gave off a sharp smell of blood .

With a swing of his hand, Jian Chen stabbed out once again . The King Armament was inserted deeply into the beast’s head and he used the sword to dig out a bloody monster core . Without even wiping it clean, he shoved it into his Space Ring before immediately charging toward the other beast .

A few seconds later, the other beast’s life was ended by Jian Chen as well and so he also obtained its monster core . Jian Chen rejoiced slightly; he had just obtained three Class 8 Monster Cores . This would have been unimaginable on the Tian Yuan Continent .

“Come deal with this beast . It’s of the 16th Star . We need to finish it off right here and right now or no one would be able to deal with it once we separate . It’ll take us all to our doom . ” A Saint Ruler called out for help as he battled the final Class 8 beast . The beast was of the Fifth Heavenly Layer so even though there were over thirty Saint Rulers surrounding and attacking it simultaneously, it was still extremely powerful . It forcefully knocked all the Saint Rulers backward with its own strength .  

Immediately, over a hundred Saint Rulers charged up and engaged in a great battle with the final beast . Jian Chen did not just stand around either; he also participated in the slaying of the final vicious beast . The beast was extremely powerful, so they needed to kill it off when there was still a lot of them around . Otherwise, perhaps everyone would die to its claws after they all separated .

Under the attacks from over a hundred Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers, the beast finally produced a howl of regret and collapsed in its own pool of blood . However, there were also over thirty Saint Rulers that had been heavily injured .

The monster core in the beast’s head had become the object of attraction among the crowd . Over twenty Saint Rulers charged up immediately for the head and engaged in a brawl with one another, which directly caused the head to disintegrate . Meanwhile, the monster core hidden deep within it was knocked high up into the sky by the powerful force .

The Saint Rulers all leaped into the air in unison and flying toward the monster core . They all moved extremely fast .

A gleam of light exploded in Jian Chen’s eyes and two vague slivers of colored light—one purple and one azure—appeared in his eyes . He grabbed at the empty space, and the monster core immediately changed directions and flew toward him . In the end, Jian Chen caught it firmly .

Over ten of the twenty-odd people immediately gave up once they saw that the person who had obtained it was Jian Chen, ruler of the Turtle clan . However, there were still seven people who charged toward him with killing intent, in an attempt to steal the monster core from him .

Jian Chen’s eyes immediately narrowed . Grabbing the monster core tightly with his left hand, the King Armament lashed out with his right . He stabbed out seven times in an instant .

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

With a series of metal clashes, the weapons from all seven people collided with the King Armament in Jian Chen’s hand . The weapons struck Jian Chen’s sword before being pulled back immediately as all seven people backpedaled hurriedly . All their expressions underwent a drastic change, while their gazes toward Jian Chen were soon filled with deep fear and disbelief .

Jian Chen stood steadily as if his feet were the roots of a tree . He had repelled all seven of them by himself and he seemed to have done it extremely easily .

This caused all the surrounding people to break into an uproar . In that moment, all of them looked toward Jian Chen with deep dread . It would be extremely unfortunate if they happened to offend such a powerful person in the Octoterra Divine Hall that was isolated from the outside world .

Jian Chen stared coldly at the seven Saint Rulers . He could not help but form a sneer with his lips . “I’d like to see how long you can endure it for . ”

Spurt! Spurt! Spurt… 

As soon as Jian Chen said that, the seven Saint Rulers all vomited blood . They all became dejected; they had all been injured by the sword Qi from that single clash earlier .

After all, Jian Chen wielded a King Armament; he possessed the strength of a Third Heavenly Layer Saint King . Any casual attack from a Third Heavenly Layer Saint King was not something a Saint Ruler could endure .

All the people present watched on wide-eyed and tongue-tied . The shock in their hearts had reached the absolute maximum .

“Hahaha, the ruler of the Turtle clan sure is extraordinary . I’ve finally been able to witness it today . ” Mo Ji laughed aloud as he stepped out from the crowd and arrived directly beside Jian Chen . He was singing words of praise . Afterward, the three other people stepped out from the crowd and joined Jian Chen as well . They seemed to be indicating to the crowd that they were with the ruler of the Turtle clan .

Jian Chen glanced at the Class 8 Monster Core in his hand and said to the seven people, “Do you still want to fight with me for this monster core?”

“Turtle ruler, sincere apologies . We did not know that it was you who was in possession of the monster core . If we have caused any offense, I hope the turtle ruler can forgive us . ” An old man apologized to Jian Chen from the group of seven . His face was earnest .

Jian Chen frowned slightly when he heard that and revealed some slight displeasure . “I don’t like to be called turtle ruler . My name is Jian Chen!”

“Yes, turtle ruler,” the old man replied courteously . He did not dare to defy Jian Chen . Although they were of the same cultivation level, Jian Chen was the ruler of a clan . He would be able to reach the level of a hall elder sooner or later or even surpass that and become an emperor . Let alone the fact that he was afraid of causing any offense himself, even his entire clan would not dare to offend Jian Chen so easily .

However, the old man did not seem to realize what he had said, that he had called Jian Chen ‘turtle ruler’ again .

Jian Chen sighed gently inside . He just could not be bothered with squabbling over these small matters with this old man . After he stored the monster core into his Space Ring, he arrived before Nubis to protect him as he healed .

 Now that all the vicious beasts had been killed off, the silent truce between all the people had dissolved . All of them left the area cautiously, staying vigilant of the others .

Everyone knew that there was only a limited number of treasures in the Octoterra Divine Hall . The fewer people there were, the greater chance they would have of obtaining something . As a result, battles could erupt at any moment here; almost all the people present wished for everyone else to die, so that they would be guaranteed to inherit the Octoterra Emperor’s legacy and the various treasures within .

A while later, the various groups of people had all disappeared into the sixteen tunnels, which caused the people remaining in the hall to become less and less . In just a short twenty minutes, the entire hall was emptied, only leaving behind Jian Chen’s group of seven . A thick smell of blood lingered in the air .

“Jian Chen, let’s go as well . ” Nubis stood up . His wounds had been mostly healed by the Class 6 Radiant Spirit Pills; although it was not a complete recovery, it would no longer affect him greatly .

Jian Chen glanced at the sixteen tunnels and casually picked one . Mo Ji and the three others followed closely behind Jian Chen, Nubis, and Xie Wang .

The divine hall seemed like a maze inside . The tunnels led off in all directions and could be seen almost everywhere . When Jian Chen’s group reached the end of their tunnel, they saw many more tunnels that led off to places unknown . The tunnels were like the branches of a tree; each branch would have many smaller branches, while there were even smaller ones of them . It was innumerable and very easily disorientating .

A great beast roar resounded from ahead at this moment . A three-meter-tall Class 7 vicious beast appeared before the group . It stared fixedly at them with its red eyes, before charging toward them .

Jian Chen’s eyes immediately lit up when he saw the beast . He did not seem to see it as a powerful opponent but as a valuable Class 7 Monster Core .

“Let me deal with it . ” Just as Mo Ji was about to charge at the beast, Jian Chen was already one step faster with the King Armament in hand . He beheaded the beast with a single slash and removed its monster core .

The group paid no further attention to the beast’s corpse after removing its monster core before continuing on their way .

The group made their way aimlessly through the maze, coming across beasts from time to time . However, all of them were around Class 7, with some even Class 6 . Not only did they fail to form any threat to Jian Chen’s group, they resulted in a grand harvest for Jian Chen . He had obtained quite a few monster cores from this .

Just as they passed through a tunnel, their views suddenly opened up . They had come to an extremely large hall .

Jian Chen looked around and his face sank immediately . He had already recognised the hall as the one they had arrived in at the very beginning . They had travelled in a great big circle, actually looping back to where they had started . The only difference was that the mountainous piles of beast corpses had all disappeared .

They were not the first ones to return . There were over forty people scattered everywhere in the hall, conversing with one another currently . They would draw on the floor from time to time analyzing the path they had taken in the maze .

“Crap, we’ve come back again . ” Nubis’ expression became rather ugly .

At this very moment, Jian Chen eyes froze . He stared fixedly at the center of the hall . There, he vaguely saw a formation on the floor .
