Chapter 916: Leaving the Maze



Jian Chen slowly made his way to the center of the hall as he stared at the formation fixedly .

The circular formation on the ground had a diameter of twenty meters and was in the shape of a pentagram . Countless tiny red lines connected with one another on it, linking up in an extremely complicated and profound manner .

Jian Chen stared at the formation as a sliver of thought appeared on his face . He could remember clearly that when he had first come to the hall, the complicated formation was not present .

“Is this hall perhaps not the one we had originally arrived in but a different one that seems completely the same?” Jian Chen involuntarily guessed inside but he dismissed this thought very quickly . He was certain that this was the same hall he had initially arrived in .

“Hm? There’s a formation here,” another Saint Ruler said in surprise as he too discovered the formation .

All the other Saint Rulers in the hall were drawn over and gathered in the center . They all stared fixedly at the formation as they stood in thought .

“The formation is covered by many of those red lines . Is this perhaps the map to the maze?” said a person as he hypothesized .

“That’s impossible . These red lines form a completely different image to the maze so it can’t be a map . ” Someone else dismissed this immediately .

“The formation wasn’t present before . It has only appeared suddenly right now . Perhaps it has something to do with the way out of the maze?” Another person expressed his thoughts .

Everyone became silent . Many of them had thought up to there but they did not have any way to test it .

At this very moment, a loud beast roar reverberated from a tunnel . A vicious beast had just been slaughtered by some Saint Ruler, howling out miserably one last time before its death .



Jian Chen’s eyes lit up . His presence had engulfed the entirety of the formation, so he would be able to sense any changes the formation underwent . Just as the beast had died, he discovered that an additional red line had appeared .

“Does the appearance of this formation have something to do with those beasts?” An idea flashed through Jian Chen’s head .

“When we first entered the divine hall, there wasn’t a formation on the ground . Afterward, we encountered the attacks from a large horde of beasts . After we killed off all of them, their corpses littered the ground and this prevented us from seeing the ground properly . Now that we’vee returned, the corpses have disappeared and there’s now a formation on the floor . Has this formation appeared because of those beasts?” Jian Chen’s eyes shone as he quickly analyzed the facts .

Suddenly, Jian Chen’s expression changed and he said gruffly, “I know now . This formation should be crucial to how we leave the maze but it’s just been hidden for some reason . We need to use the blood of the beasts to make it appear . For every death, a part of the formation will appear . Once enough beasts have been killed, its entirety will appear . We’ll be able to leave the maze then . ”

All the people present became stunned when they heard this, before all staring fixedly at the formation on the ground . They all pondered as they stared at it .

“What evidence do you have to prove what you just said?” A burly, middle-aged man asked Jian Chen .

“Pay close attention to the formation . If I am right, additional red lines will appear when beasts die . These red lines should be a component of the formation and only when they all appear will the formation be complete,” said Jian Chen .

Afterward, no one spoke . They all focused their gazes onto the formation, staring at it fixedly for any changes .

More Saint Ruler entered the hall as they focused on the formation, leading to an increase in the number of people . They immediately noticed the ring of people around the formation as soon as they arrived and they also joined in out of curiosity, all staring at the formation with doubt .

At this moment, another miserable beast howl rang out . Another vicious beast had been killed in the maze .

Just as the beast died, an old man called out from the crowd of people, “Look, another red line has actually appeared . ”



“I saw it too . It’s just as he said . Those beasts really are crucial for us to leave here . We need to add to the formation through their blood . ”

“Then what’re we waiting for? Let’s go kill those beasts and complete the formation as soon as possible . ”

… 

All the people called out in surprise and some of them immediately charged into the tunnels impatiently in search of beasts to kill .

Jian Chen’s group did not hesitate either . They casually chose a tunnel and left through it, taking part in the hunt for the beasts . Jian Chen needed the monster cores within the beasts’ bodies very much and any one of them would be a priceless treasure on the Tian Yuan Continent . He needed to collect as much as he could in this rare opportunity .


The beasts in the divine hall were all reared up by the Octoterra Emperor years ago . After so many years of breeding, no one knew exactly how many there were nor did anyone know how powerful the strongest one was .

Jian Chen’s group rampaged in the tunnels, purposefully searching for beasts to hunt . Along the way, they would come across other Saint Rulers from time to time . However, when they noticed that it was Jian Chen, ruler of the Turtle clan, they would reveal deep fear . They would greet Jian Chen enthusiastically before taking a path and leaving . No one dared to offend Jian Chen .

After all, they had all witnessed Jian Chen’s strength when he killed the Fifth Heavenly Layer Class 8 vicious beast earlier .

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed . In these three days, Jian Chen constantly shuttled back and forth within the maze, hunting down beasts . In these days of slaughter, countless beasts had been felled by Jian Chen’s hands . He collected a great pile of monster cores as a result .

Rumble!

Just as Jian Chen killed off the beast he was dealing with, the entire maze suddenly began to shake violently . In the hall, the complete formation had finally appeared, shining with a dazzling red light that filled the entire hall . In that very moment, the hall had been filled with an extremely powerful energy .

In the next moment, the surrounding walls of the maze slowly began to sink, quickly disappearing into the ground completely . As they disappeared, it revealed the many experts in the maze .

“The maze has disappeared . That formation really was the way out of the maze,” the experts all cried out happily as they watched the surroundings .

Jian Chen removed the monster core from the beast’s head and then looked around . He discovered that he was now actually in a large square . It was extremely large with an area of several hundred square kilometers . The maze was constructed in this square .

“The divine hall sure is different on the inside compared with the outside . The inside is actually so big; just the square completely exceeds the size of the hall we saw outside . ” Nubis sighed emotionally after looking around .

“The hall where we originally appeared in should be the main entrance of the divine hall, while this square should be the first portion of the divine hall . Let’s continue onward,” said Jian Chen, before heading toward the depths .

At the same time, all the other Saint Rulers set out as well . They maintained a certain distance between one another as they slowly made their way into the depths, each filled with caution . In there, not only did they need to stay vigilant of the people around them, they also needed to watch out for dangers from the divine hall itself .

At this very moment, Jian Chen’s eyes froze . He suddenly turned to one side and saw that a hundred meters away, the space had begun to tremble violently . It had enveloped five Saint Rulers that traveled together, sucking them away .

“Everyone be careful, there are formations here,” people immediately cried out from the surroundings . Everyone’s vigilance rose once again .

Everyone continued their way toward the interior of the divine hall cautiously without paying any more attention to whether the trapped people had survived or not .

It was extremely difficult to detect the hidden formations . For the next period of time, the formations are hidden everywhere all appeared, trapping the Saint Rulers that had triggered them . Even Jian Chen’s group ended up triggering three powerful killing formations but they managed to break through it successfully with the seven of them . They passed through the initial area of the divine hall, reaching the central region .

Many grand halls and pavilions stood in the central region of the hall and there were many perfectly-preserved gardens and ponds .

Flowers bloomed in the garden, giving off a heavy fragrance . Many unknown insects moved among the plants, while quite a few fishes swam about in the ponds . The fragrance of the water lingered in the entire region .

Under the influence of the divine hall, all the organisms, regardless of the various insects or the fishes, had evolved beyond what they seemed . They all possessed extremely powerful offensive abilities . They had existed for countless years and some of them even radiated with auras akin to Saint Rulers . The energy they used was extremely odd, similar to the energy of the divine hall, which was extremely powerful .

Everyone knew the strength of these organisms, so they maintained a wide distance from them . No one dared to provoke them as they continued forward .

The central region of the hall was like a city crisscrossed with paths . Everyone gradually scattered after arriving here, spreading out in all directions .

Boom! Suddenly, a violent sound rumbled in the distance . A Saint Ruler had attempted to enter a hall . Just as he opened the door, he was knocked into the air by a violent ripple of energy that had surged out from within . Blood sprayed from his mouth without restraint .

However, the door did not close up and remained open .

“Let’s go in and have a look . ” A voice rang out and three Saint Rulers immediately entered the hall cautiously . At the same time, blue armor materialized on them, completely condensed from energy .

Noticing the armor on them, an undetectable gleam of light flashed across Jian Chen’s eyes . He had fought Saint Kings many times, which was why he could identify that the three suits of armor all radiated with a vast presence unique to Saint Kings .

“That’s not their power . There’s a Saint King’s power within them and they used that to condense the armor to protect themselves . ” Jian Chen reached an understanding very quickly .

The Saint King’s power clearly would only be used when they faced true danger . Right now, they were entering an unknown hall; the dangers would definitely be much greater than that of the vicious beasts, which was why they had used the power without any hesitation .

Many people outside paid attention to the movements of the three people . Their eyes all flickered with a certain light, hesitating about whether to venture into a hall and see what was inside .

Boom!

At this moment, a violent rumble resounded from within the hall . A powerful energy immediately rippled from the hall, causing the surrounding space to tremble .
