Chapter 932: The Octoterra Emperor (Two)
The middle-aged man belonged to the same group as Thysnich . He had always kept his strength well-concealed and had maintained an extremely low profile . As a result, he had not been discovered by Thysnich, even after spending so much time beside him .
Thysnich glared past the other people, before staring toward the depths of the hall . His eyes burned with interest .
A huge sculpture stood in the depths . It was a sculpture of a middle-aged man and it seemed extremely life-like, like a real person . He was filled with charm . Standing there, he seemed completely like a part of the surroundings, without any difference .
Staring at the sculpture, all of them unconsciously felt as if a tremendous pressure had entered their souls . It was like they were prostrating themselves to it .
“Is this the Octoterra Emperor?” Jian Chen struggled to remain calm as he stared at the sculpture .
However, Jian Chen soon remembered the advice from hall elder Hong of the Sea Goddess Hall . He then looked around as he thought, “Elder Hong said that other than the legacy, this divine hall is the most valuable item present . As long as I can find the control center, I can control this divine hall . So where is it?”
“Jian Chen, why isn’t the Emperor Armament here? Where’d it go?” Suddenly, Jian Chen heard Nubis’ mental message .
Jian Chen became slightly stunned . A sliver of light flashed across his eyes and he looked around carefully . He actually found no traces of the Emperor Armament .
“How is it like this? We clearly went through the door broken by the Emperor Armament to get here, so why are there no traces of it?” Jian Chen thought . He felt uneasy .
At this moment, Thysnich spoke, “If I’ve guessed correctly, the Octoterra Emperor’s legacy must be in that sculpture, because that’s the only thing that’s completely intact . But there are seven people here, while only one person can obtain the legacy . Does anyone have any good idea to deal with this problem?”
Everyone’s eyes immediately began to flicker in thought as they heard this . They looked around cautiously to prevent anyone from catching them off guard .
No one was not enticed by the Octoterra Emperor’s legacy . They had all exhausted such great efforts to get here . How could they just give up so easily now?
The hall immediately fell into a deathly silence . The seven of them stood there silently as the atmosphere became suffocating . A slight killing intent gradually permeated the entire hall .
“Allow me to check whether the legacy is in the sculpture at all . ” The suffocating atmosphere was finally broken . The old woman pointed out and some Saint King’s power immediately shot out and struck the sculpture forcefully .
No one stopped her . Instead, they all stared intently at the sculpture . They were unsure if the sculpture was left behind by the Octoterra Emperor all those years ago or if it contained the legacy at all . They all wanted to borrow the old woman to test the truth of the sculpture .
Boom!
The sculpture was more fragile than they had imagined . The power easily shattered the sculpture, causing stones to fly everywhere .
Everyone became disappointed when they saw that . They no longer believed that the sculpture would contain the Octoterra Emperor’s legacy seeing how easily it had been destroyed .
However, an azure light was revealed in that very moment . Where the head of the shattered sculpture was, a hazy azure ball of light floated silently .
Everyone immediately focused their attention on the ball of light . Thysnich even cried out involuntarily, “Is that the legacy?”
Everyone’s faces twitched when they heard Thysnich . Temptation burned in their eyes . Even Jian Chen and Nubis were not exceptions .
This was the legacy of a Saint Emperor . It contained everything the Saint Emperor had learned, including his comprehension of the laws of the world . Reaching Saint Emperor would only be a matter of time for whoever obtained it .
“No . ” Suddenly, Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed . He stared fixedly at the light and revealed an uneasy expression . His presence was extremely powerful, far greater than Thysnich or the others’ . He could actually feel the rippling of a soul within the azure light . It was very weak but extremely energetic .
“The soul is conscious . The azure light is just a seal, preventing the soul’s ripples from spreading outward and being detected . ” A sudden thought appeared in Jian Chen’s head, which caused him to pale slightly .
He had suddenly reached an unbelievable conclusion after thinking back to all the weird matters that had occurred in the Octoterra Divine Hall: the Octoterra Emperor was still alive!
With the whistling of wind, Thysnich and the four others shot toward the azure ball of light . They were lightning fast .
Nubis did not hesitate either but just as he wanted to join in, Jian Chen suddenly extended his hand and gripped Nubis’ shoulder . Through a communication technique, he said, “Don’t go . It’s not as simple as it seems . ”
Nubis almost had a blind faith in Jian Chen after knowing him for so many years . He immediately suppressed his rashness after what Jian Chen warned him .
Thysnich and the four others arrived before the light in a flash, reaching toward it in unison .
Suddenly, something happened . The azure light disappeared, replaced by a dazzling red light . Before they could react, it shot toward them with unbelievable speed, immediately disappearing into their heads .
“Hahahahaha, I’ve long awaited this day . It won’t be long till I return . Sea Goddess Hall, Serpent God Hall, Heaven’s Spirit Hall, I’ll be wiping you all out soon after I take these bodies . ” A wild, savage laughter rang out in the air .
Both Jian Chen and Nubis became grim when they saw the sudden change in the situation . Their hearts sank in particular because of the wild laughter .
“I- i- is this the voice of the Octoterra Emperor? The Octoterra Emperor is not dead?” Nubis’ voice trembled slightly . In that moment, both of them understood . The Octoterra Divine Hall was actually all a scheme, a scheme for the emperor’s revival .
Jian Chen’s face darkened completely as he said, “I finally understand why the divine hall would suck away the blood from the vicious beasts . It’s all a scheme of the Octoterra Emperor . He only exists as a soul right now and it must have become extremely weak after so many years of slumber . It needs to absorb the vital essence present in the blood of the experts and beasts to heal . ”
Nubis’ complexion became extremely ugly as he said hurriedly, “Jian Chen, we can’t stay here anymore . We need to leave . ”
Jian Chen shook his head powerlessly . “The Octoterra Divine Hall is actually a trap . That whatever legacy is fake . No wonder we couldn’t find any way out earlier . There’s probably only a way into this divine hall and no way out at all . We can’t leave now . ”
The five people all howled out, tossing and turning on the floor as they clutched their heads in agony .
“Hahaha, there’s actually a ruler’s body . I’ll be taking your body,” the savage voice rang out in the hall once again . With a few explosions, the heads of the four others blew open . Their souls had been wiped out, while the red light in their heads all gathered in Thysnich’s head .
The red light was the soul of someone .
“Octoterra Emperor . You’re the Octoterra Emperor . You’re actually not dead!” Thysnich cried out as he resisted the agonizing pain . He had already become completely pale, feeling his soul being devoured part by part by the more powerful soul .
“Octoterra Emperor, don’t you dare devour my soul!” A killing intent shone in Thysnich’s eyes . A terrifying energy rippled within him, filling the entire hall with a devastating aura .
The hall began to tremble violently . In that moment, the entire hall seemed to be shaking gently . The tremendous power from Thysnich seemed to be able to destroy the entire place .
“God dammit . This is an emperor’s power . You actually have an emperor’s power in you,” the soul cried out in terror . He was once an emperor but he had now been reduced to a fragile soul after all . He could deal with Saint Rulers like Thysnich easily but he had no power to fight back against an emperor’s power . Even just a strand was enough to wipe out his soul .
Immediately, the Octoterra Emperor refused to stay in Thysnich’s body for even a moment longer . The soul immediately flew out, shooting toward Jian Chen and Nubis .
The soul was extremely fast, arriving before Jian Chen in the blink of an eye . Before Jian Chen could even react, it had disappeared into his head .
Jian Chen’s expression changed and he instantly paled . His muscles constantly jerked, clearly in great pain .
However, Jian Chen’s soul was much more powerful than Thysnich’s and other people at the same level . Although the Octoterra Emperor’s entry into his head brought on agonizing pain, it was within the range he could endure .
“Jian Chen, Jian Chen, are you alright?” Nubis cried out from beside him . However, Jian Chen could not hear him at all . His consciousness was now within his sea of consciousness with the soul of the Octoterra Emperor .
Jian Chen currently floated mid-air in his sea of consciousness, while a young man who seemed to be in his twenties stood opposite of him . The young man wore blood-red robes while his face was filled with malevolence . Even his pupils and hair were red as if he was dyed in blood .
“You’re not the Octoterra Emperor . ” Jian Chen stared intently at the young man . He was extremely stern .
