Chapter 2165: The Artifact Spirit Breaks Free
Jian Chen arrived on the highest floor of the Neptunean Divine Palace again with Shangguan Mu’er, Shui Yunlan, Audriana, Ming Dong, Rui Di, and Zhi Ye.
Upon setting foot on the twelfth floor, Jian Chen gazed at the four statues of Grand Primes that stood in the distance. He sighed emotionally.
He could not help but think back to the moment when he had first set foot on the twelfth floor. At that time, he had to disguise himself and enter with an extremely low profile to avoid exposing himself. To avoid being identified, he had even avoided the group of people afar. He was nowhere near bold enough to get too close to the four statues.
But now, when he set foot on the twelfth floor again, he had gained a powerful force around him. Not only were there Shui Yunlan and Audriana, two outstanding Godkings of great power, but there was also Rui Di and Zhi Ye who ranked among the top ten of the Godkings’ Throne.
Without a single doubt, a group like this had become the most powerful force in the Neptunean Divine Palace.
The number of people on the twelfth floor had already decreased. Only a few dozen people sat around the statues.
Clearly, these people did not leave the twelfth floor, nor did they take part in the fight for the girl.
Of course, that did not mean they were not interested in the girl. Instead, they were just realistic, unwilling to contend with the supreme Godkings who ranked high up on the Godkings’ Throne.
However, at this moment, the supreme Godkings were extremely weak as well. The power of samsara had drained away a large amount of their vitality, so they were currently recovering as quickly as they could through various pills and heavenly resources.
“Mu’er, you go awaken the artifact spirit of your zither first. I’ll have a look nearby and see if I can find the artifact spirit of the Neptunean Divine Palace.”
Jian Chen stopped before the four statues before turning around and talking to Shangguan Mu’er.
Shangguan Mu’er nodded and sat down in an empty place. She took out the Zither of the Demonic Cry, controlling it to absorb the mysterious power in the surroundings once again.
“We still haven’t recovered all of our lost vitality, so we won’t be accompanying you. If you need us to take action, just contact us,” Rui Di said to Jian Chen before finding somewhere nearby to continue recovering with Zhi Yue.
“Brother, I’ll go recover quickly as well. I just got scolded by my first senior sister, so I think once I leave here, I’ll have to face the lecturing of my eighth senior sister as well,” Ming Dong smiled bitterly. Without a doubt, he had been the most injured out of everyone. If it were not for the large number of God Tier pills on him, he probably would not have been able till survive now. Even if he managed to survive through luck, his cultivation would end up regressing.
After all, he had used secret techniques that were far too powerful. He had already surpassed the limit he could endure, severely overcommitting himself.
Afterwards, Jian Chen left alone. Even Shui Yunlan and Audriana did not go with him. Instead, they remained where they were to recover.
The power of samsara had affected everyone in the Neptunean Divine Palace right now. They had lost a great deal of vitality, preventing them from forming any threat to Jian Chen.
Moreover, the truly powerful Godkings were all on the ninth floor, so the twelfth floor had become extremely safe now.
Bang!
A million kilometres away from the statues, there was a heavy thud, and a damaged tower covered in sword slashes slammed onto the ground with unimaginable weight. It caused the ground to rumble violently.
Xiao Man emerged from the tower. Her big eyes looked around uneasily and eagerly. In the end, they locked onto Jian Chen, and her face immediately became filled with worry. She asked in concern, “Brother Jian Chen, how are you? Are you fine?”
“I’m fine. This is the highest floor of the Neptunean Divine Palace. Xiao Man, hold onto this pendant and see if you can awaken the artifact spirit,” said Jian Chen. In order to make time, he had only recovered thirty percent of his vitality before rushing to the twelfth floor, so his face was pale and haggard right now. Clearly, he was also weakened.
“Alright. I’ll try right now,” Xiao Man took the jade pendant from Jian Chen and bit her finger with expertise, dripping blood onto the pendant.
The pendant absorbed the blood. However, even after Jian Chen and Xiao Man waited for a very long time, they still found no traces of the artifact spirit.
“Has the artifact spirit already died?” Jian Chen’s heart sank from this. He thought about the artifact spirit’s voice that rang out before the Samsaric Immortal Exalt had appeared.
If the artifact spirit was really dead, it would be impossible for Xiao Man to take back the Neptunean Divine Palace with her strength. Let alone Xiao Man, even if all the Godkings in the Neptunean Divine Palace worked together, they would not be able to obtain the Neptunean Divine Palace.
This was because he already knew that the central point of the Neptunean Divine Palace that needed to be refined was in a region that was not open to the public. Apart from gaining the recognition of the artifact spirit, it could only be reached through overcoming the obstructions with absolute strength.
With the toughness of a high quality god artifact, even weaker Grand Primes would not be able to do something like that.
Something like that would only be possible if a peak expert like the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng took action.
Jian Chen frowned heavily. He was out of ideas with the problem he faced right now.
…
“I can sense the presence of master’s bloodline again. Fantastic. Master’s descendant didn’t die to the hands of Samsaric…” At the same time, an excited mental pulse emerged from an unknown region within the Netpunean Divine Palace.
A powerful consciousness was tightly entrapped in a huge net completely condensed out of energy there.
The ancient consciousness struggled relentlessly as it resisted with its full strength. The net around it actually loosened at a visible rate.
The ancient consciousness happened to be the artifact spirit that Jian Chen and the others had been searching for the entire time.
“I don’t know what happened outside, but I can’t sense Samsaric’s presence anymore. He should have… vanished. Hmph, since Samsaric is no longer in control, it’s impossible for this secret technique to keep me trapped. Break!” The artifact spirit called out, and immediately, a powerful energy surged out. As an arrow, it punched a huge hole in the net, finally allowing the artifact spirit to establish a connection with the Neptunean Divine Palace again.
Afterwards, under the artifact spirit’s control, the great power of the Neptunean Divine Palace swept out like a tsunami, ripping the net to pieces in an unstoppable manner.
