Chaotic Sword God
chapter-2120

“Just as I had expected. There really are a lot of Godkings gathered on the eighth floor. Although they’ve all concealed their presences, I can still vaguely feel their strength. There are probably quite a few supreme Godkings.” In the distance, Jian Chen sat at the foot of a mountain, hiding behind a huge boulder. He looked far away sternly.

In order to remain hidden, he did not use the senses of his soul. He just used his vision.

A large group of Godkings sat high up in the air in the distance. They did not notice Jian Chen’s existence. Even if Jian Chen was standing very close to them, they would have never imagined that someone would stand at the foot of a volcano here.

This was because every inch of the volcanoes here was terrifyingly hot, where even supreme Godking would not be able to endure it.

Jian Chen did not dare to stay for long. He left very soon. Using the many volcanoes as a cover, he silently left the eighth floor. No one noticed any traces of him, including Ming Dong.

On the ninth floor of the Neptunean Divine Palace, a bare-chested, burly man in only shorts flew through the air leisurely. He seemed to hurry off mindlessly as he observed the surroundings with interest, viewing the scenery along the way.

“Sir, I’ve been in seclusion for many years, and I’ve only just emerged. May I ask if anything interesting has happened in the past few years?” At this moment, the burly man in shorts with muscles that seemed to be filled with explosive power stopped an early Godking. He clasped his hands after tossing out a small pile of supreme grade divine crystals.

The early Godking who was stopped was originally rather displeased, but when he saw the small pile of divine crystals, his face immediately warmed up. He clasped his fist politely and told everything he knew to the big man.

He spoke in great detail. He missed nothing at all, whether it was Jian Chen’s death due to protecting Xiao Man from the eight supreme Godkings, or Ming Dong’s slaughters that made him seem even more powerful than supreme Godkings.

“I never thought that so many major matters would have happened in the Neptunean Divine Palace in just a few short yours. Thank you for telling me.” The bare-chested man directly left after learning about everything.

However, he did not travel too far away. Instead, he gradually came to a halt after leaving the early Godking. He turned his head towards the eighth floor as his face was filled with evident joy and excitement.

“I never thought Ming Dong would come to the Neptunean Divine Palace as well. Moreover, he’s on par with supreme Godkings…”

“Hahahaha, no wonder the heads of the supreme Godkings I found at the bottom of the lava below just happened to match the people who worked against me. And I had originally thought they encountered some extremely powerful enemy that beheaded them. Turns out the two of them were actually killed by Ming Dong…”

“Four of the eight supreme Godkings who worked against me have been killed by Ming Dong. He even chased Cang Ying to the eighth floor. Hahaha, I never thought Ming Dong would have already become so powerful. He has even surpassed me. It looks like I need to work hard as well…”

The man laughed from the bottom of his heart. He clearly seemed to be at ease.

The burly man was Jian Chen in disguise. Not only did he alter his appearance, but he had even changed his stature through his control of the Chaotic Body.

“Ming Dong is in the Neptunean Divine Palace right now, but it’s not convenient for me to meet him at the moment, just in case I cause trouble for him. Even if he’s powerful now, he won’t be able to deal with these dangers.” Jian Chen calmed down very soon. After some thought, he shot off with lightning speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Before long, Jian Chen stopped in an extremely remote region. With a single thought, the Anatta Tower immediately flew out. Under his control, the tower landed on the ground gently, and a nervous and eager Xiao Man emerged.

However, to Jian Chen’s surprise, the protective power did not reappear when Xiao Man appeared in the Neptunean Divine Palace again.

In other words, Xiao Man was no longer protected by the Neptunean Divine Palace anymore.

“Is it because I took Xiao Man into the Anatta Tower, and the Anatta Tower severed Xiao Man’s connection with the Neptunean Divine Palace? Xiao Man and the Neptunean Divine Palace seem to be connected through a thread, and now that the thread has been severed, this connection has been severed as well. As a result, Xiao Man is no longer protected by the power?” A gleam of light flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes as he pondered.

“Brother Jian Chen, why hasn’t that protective power appeared?” Xiao Man was also perplexed.

“Xiao Man, try dripping some blood onto your pendant,” said Jian Chen. He had already learnt many years ago that Xiao Man had awakened the artifact spirit through the presence of her bloodline, so he wanted her to try the same thing again. If the artifact spirit could awaken again, it would be much easier for Xiao Man to take back what belonged to her ancestor.

Xiao Man immediately did just that. She cut her finger and allowed her blood to drip onto the pendant before her chest.

Jian Chen paid close attention to the surroundings during this time. As he waited for the artifact spirit to awaken, his gaze became extremely sharp. Without a doubt, he would kill anyone who intruded on this place with lightning speed.

This was because he could not afford to leak any information about Xiao Man right now. Unfortunately, he could not hide Xiao Man, as her cultivation level was just too low. No matter how she hid, Godkings would still be able to see through all of that with a single glance.

“Brother Jian Chen, there seems to be nothing,” Xiao Man said in confusion after a few minutes.

Jian Chen frowned slightly. He said in thought, “The artifact spirit should still be in slumber. The reason why it hasn’t awakened this time is probably because it has become greatly exhausted from waking up last time. It’s no longer as sensitive to your bloodline.”

Xiao Man felt worried after learning that the artifact spirit could not be awakened. She was out of ideas, “Brother Jian Chen, what should we do?”

“Don’t panic. No one knows where the artifact spirit is right now, but according to my understanding of artifact spirits, even if they’re in slumber, they’ll choose to rest in extremely important places. The twelfth floor of the Neptunean Divine Palace was where the master of this place passed away, and his legacy is there as well. If I’ve guessed correctly, the artifact spirit should be slumbering on the twelfth floor in a place where no one knows.”

“Xiao Man, go in the tower. Give me the pendant and leave some blood for me. I’ll go to the twelfth floor. That is the closest to where the artifact spirit is slumbering, and I’ll see whether I can awaken the artifact spirit there with the presence of your bloodline. Once the artifact spirit awakens, those supreme Godkings won’t be the ones in charge of the Neptunean Divine Palace anymore…”
