Chapter 921: A Piece of Divine Quality Crystal

Boom! Boom! Boom… 

The five vicious beasts did not stop after tearing the people outside to shreds . They constantly rammed the barrier, wanting to kill off all the people hiding inside .

The five beasts were all of the Fifth and Sixth Heavenly Layer, so their attacks were extremely powerful . Every strike would make the barrier tremble violently but it still would not be enough to break through it .

Everyone finally relaxed slightly when they saw this and their beating hearts finally calmed down . Their backs were all drenched in cold sweat . If they had been a little slower before, they would have ended up just like the people outside .

Now, close to a third of the hundred and sixty experts had died . The lucky survivors did not leave . Instead, they sat down inside the barrier to heal . No one was certain about the upcoming dangers and they did not have the power to deal with anything that would happen in their current state .

Jian Chen, Nubis, Xie Wang, and the four others all gathered together, recovering their energy at the same time . Every single one of them had exerted a great amount of energy in the past three days of beast-slaughtering . They had basically survived the three days by depending on their medicines .

“Sigh, it’s a pity that the incomplete items the Octoterra Emperor left behind are still with them outside . If we can’t gather their Space Rings, it’ll be impossible to complete the cultivation method, Tian Level Saint Technique, and the comprehensions of cultivation left behind by the emperor . ” An old man stared at the distant corpses outside the barrier regretfully . His face was filled with pity .

Jian Chen glanced at the Space Rings outside the barrier when he heard that . A light in his eyes flickered as he hesitated over whether to get Xiao Bai to pass through the barrier and retrieve them .

“This barrier was cast down by a Saint Emperor all those years ago and it still possesses a great strength . I wonder if Xiao Bai can pass through it successfully or not . ” Jian Chen could not make up his mind in that moment but he gave up in the end after hesitating for a while .

“Elder Hong’s told me before that other than the legacy of the Octoterra Emperor, there’s also the divine hall . Only by reaching the core of the divine hall can I control it . I need to find a way to get there and then take the entire place . ” Jian Chen’s gaze became steeled as he thought of that .

Several days later, some of them finally made a full recovery . They regained their healthy glow, continuing into the hall energetically . Jian Chen did not stay either, bringing in Nubis and Xie Wang who were still recovering .

Seeing how the trio had left, Mo Ji and the other three hesitated slightly as they were still in recovery . They ended up giving up on the idea of continuing to heal, standing up and following Jian Chen in .

The number of people near the barrier immediately halved with the departures . However, there were still several dozen experts who remained where they were, healing silently . They did not intend on leaving before they were fully healed because even if they came across any treasures, they would not possess the ability to fight for it .

Jian Chen kept a low profile and traveled in the center of the group, while Thysnich walked at the very front . He had more Saint King’s power than anyone else as he had not run out even after the three days of battle with the beasts . He was currently clad in extremely-tough armor that had been condensed from the energy in order to prevent any ambushes as he traveled .

It was extremely quiet as they made their way . Everyone climbed the stairs, finally arriving before the main entrance of a huge hall . Then they came to a halt together .

“Everyone, let’s push open the hall’s door together,” Thysnich said to the people behind him . His gaze paused slightly when he glanced over at Jian Chen but he moved it very quickly .

Everyone nodded silently, before forming an energy barrier around them . They began to push the door together .

With a screeching sound, the heavy door was slowly pushed open by everyone . It was not like the halls from the center region where they were struck by a powerful gust of energy .

It was slightly dark inside but it was well-decorated . It was filled with precious pieces of art and thus seemed extremely extravagant . The experts all quietly observed the circumstances within the hall before finally stepping over the high door sill after a while . They began to search quickly .

“This is the furs from a Class 8 Magical Beast from the Tian Yuan Continent . It’s extremely precious but I never thought it would be used as a rug,” cried out someone . He currently stared at a large, white rug with an expression of happiness and he soon put the entire piece into his Space Ring .

“This is rarely-seen spiritual wood . It can accelerate the speed at which energy of the world gathers but who would think that it would be made into a chair? If I cultivate while sitting on it, it should increase my speed drastically,” another expert said as he pointed at the seats on the two sides of the hall . He quickly began to store them away in his Space Ring .

Many people immediately began to fight over the chairs made completely from spiritual wood . Over ten people immediately began to grab the seats in fear that they would not get any and everyone ended up with one or two of them .

“I grabbed this chair first . Are you trying to take it from me?”

“What do you mean you grabbed it first? I obviously laid my hand on it before you . ”

Two people began arguing as they each grabbed an armrest of a chair . No one gave in, so they began to fight very quickly .

No one paid any attention to them . They continued their search . Suddenly, Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed as his gaze landed on a huge, ten-meter-tall throne up ahead . It was completely blue in color as it shone with a hazy light . He could tell with a single glance that it was clearly extraordinary .

Jian Chen could clearly feel an extremely powerful energy hidden in the throne . It was extremely pure; although it was the same water-attributed energy as the grand quality crystal coins, it was just too pure . The difference between the two was like the disparity between a Class 5 Monster Core and a Class 7 Monster Core .

“Oh my sea goddess, what did I just see? Heavens, that’s unbelievable . I can actually see a divine quality crystal . ” A cry rang out . It was an old man that he stared unblinkingly at the throne . His excitement caused his face to become flushed bright red as greed poured from his eyes .

“There’s a divine quality crystal . There’s actually a divine quality crystal . ”

“My god, it really is a divine quality crystal . I’ve never even heard of such a huge piece . ”

… 

More and more people noticed the throne with the hazy glow as they all cried out . Their voices were filled with shock and disbelief, which was soon replaced by greed .

“It really is a piece of divine quality crystal . The throne is completely forged from divine quality crystal . This Octoterra Emperor sure is extravagant . ” Thysnich’s eyes were also filled with greed . Divine quality crystals superseded grand quality crystal; the water-attributed energy within them was extremely pure . They could only be found by luck and only existed in legends . Many people could live their entire life without even seeing a single one . The piece before them was so large that it possessed an inestimable value .

Everyone struggled to resist the enticement of the crystal, all charging forward, wanting to take it for themselves .

The person closest to the throne had already arrived at it before everyone else . Just as he extended his hand out to touch it, a trident shot out from his side, forcing him to draw his hand back .

In the blink of an eye, a chaotic battle erupted in the palace . For this piece of divine quality crystal, a large battle between everyone had erupted for the first time . The violent energy rampaged in the hall but it failed to destroy anything .

Thysnich also took part in the battle . He was extremely powerful, knocking people back one after another with his two blades; arriving before the crystal very quickly . No one was his opponent . However, just as he wanted to extend his hand to put the throne into his Space Ring, Jian Chen, who had only been watching from afar, finally struck out .

Wielding his King Armament, he radiated with a towering sword Qi, as if he had become a sword . He was the sword, while the sword was him .

Whoosh!

Jian Chen left behind a blur and shot past all the others with unbelievable speed, arriving before the crystal . Shining with a dark light, the King Armament stabbed toward Thysnich’s arm that approached the throne with a devastating aura .

Thysnich had always secretly kept an eye out for Jian Chen’s movements . To him, only the ruler of the Turtle clan could pressure him greatly . Now that he saw that Jian Chen had moved, a sliver of cold light flashed across his eyes . He pulled back his arm, before chopping as hard as he could at Jian Chen with both his blades after a battle cry .

The King Armament collided with Thysnich’s blades and a powerful ripple of energy immediately erupted . Their weapons seemed to be glued to one another, stuck tightly and unmoving . Only waves of powerful energy were sent out from the point where their weapons touched .

They stared deeply into each other’s narrowed eyes . Jian Chen remained emotionless and cool, clearly still calm . On the other hand, Thysnich was grim and his face had become extremely dark . Sandwiched between was a vague sliver of shock .

“Argh!”

It did not remain like that for long . Thysnich violently roared out and an even more terrifying energy surged from his body . Through the two blades in his hand, it slammed forcefully into Jian Chen’s King Armament .

Boom!

The stalemate was finally broken with a loud sound and both of them were knocked backward by the violent energy .

Jian Chen stabilized himself several meters away and drew back his sword . He stared coldly at Thysnich .

Thysnich glared back at Jian Chen in a similar fashion . However, his breath was slightly ragged, while his complexion had become quite ugly .

“Ruler of the Turtle clan, your strength has completely exceeded my expectations,” growled Thysnich . From the single clash, he now knew that he definitely could not be Jian Chen’s opponent .

With a King Armament, Jian Chen was as strong as a Saint King of the Third Heavenly Layer . Even though Thysnich was also very powerful, he did not possess the power to fight a Third Heavenly Layer Saint King . As a result, he suffered an utter defeat when he clashed with Jian Chen .

At this moment, the giant crystal throne suddenly disappeared . When Jian Chen and Thysnich fought, someone had utilized the throne to mask themselves, approaching it silently from one side . They had stored the throne in their Space Ring and immediately fled into the distance excitedly .
