Chapter 2076: Against a God Artifact (One)
“Big brother, y- you’ve helped us again,” at this moment, Xiao Man’s voice rang out from behind. She had woken up. Currently, she endured the pain she felt as she slowly stood up from the ground while gritting her teeth. Her bright eyes looked around with some worry.
Ever since the mysterious power started to protect her, her wounds healed at an especially rapid pace, where she had mostly recovered now. As such, she was basically fine.
“Xiao Man, are you fine?” Zi Yun arrived beside Xiao Man quickly with concern and worry. She subconsciously reached out to hold Xiao Man, but she was unable to touch Xiao Man at all. An invisible power that even the senses of the soul could not discover had blocked her.
Xiao Man clearly had no idea what had happened to her. She looked around at the Godkings that amounted to over a hundred, and she gradually became despaired.
“Sister Zi Yun, are we done for?” Xiao Man asked softly as her face was ashen. She was very dejected. Then she looked at Jian Chen’s back and said, “Big brother, go. Don’t worry about us.”
“Don’t worry, Xiao Man. You’ve received the protection of the Neptunean Divine Palace, so no one here can harm you. Even if I die, you won’t be in any danger at all. Xiao Man, if I die here, you have to learn how to take care of yourself,” said Zi Yun. The current situation was not optimistic at all. Even with Jian Chen present, she was not confident about surviving.
“No, I don’t want you to die. You’ve suffered so much because of me. I will never let anything happen to you. Even if I die, I won’t let you encounter any danger at all,” Xiao Man said seriously as tears rolled down her cheeks.
The two of them were not connected by blood, but they were so close that it had already surpassed a connection through blood.
This was because in the face of truly life-threatening danger, even some people as close as brothers might abandon their connection and turn their backs on their friends to flee for their lives. Xiao Man and Zi Yun would not do that.
Jian Chen looked back at Zi Yun and Xiao Man as he hesitated slightly. In the end, he made up his mind and took out the Anatta Tower. The Anatta Tower was only the size of a fist in his hand, but when it landed on the ground, it had already become thirty meters tall.
“Who said you would die here? Get in there quick. If you don’t waste time, you still might survive, but if this continues, you’ll truly be doomed,” Jian Chen called out to Zi Yun and Xiao Man.
“Jian Chen, you better give up on these futile efforts. Can’t you see the situation right now? It’s impossible for you to take the girl away today,” mister Shu was not in a hurry to fight. He stood there leisurely as he spoke to Jian Chen.
“Jian Chen, we have no interest in the girl, nor do we want the Chaotic Prime’s legacy. Just hand over the heavenly resources you obtained from the Divine Medicinal Garden to share, and we’ll leave immediately,” a Godking said from within the crowd.
“Hehe, the girl does have some secrets, but I know my limits. I know that no matter what the secret is, it’s not something that we can take part in. Let’s leave it to the supreme Godkings to fight over. I’m only interested in the Chaotic Prime’s legacy…”
“Jian Chen, aren’t you too naive? Do you think you can leave just because of that ruined tower…”
The Godkings in the surrounding sneered.
At this moment, another two figures shot over from the distance. They were an old man and a young man.
Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed when these two people arrived. He was not unfamiliar with the two of them. One of them was Mo Cheng, who held first place on the Overgods’ Plaque.
Mo Cheng was still an Overgod right now, so Jian Chen did not care too much about him. However, he did not dare to underestimate the old man beside him.
Jian Chen was in no mood to bother with mister Shu. He arrived beside Zi Yun with a flash and grabbed her shoulder without saying anything before tossing her into the Anatta Tower. Then he called out to Xiao Man, “Quit staring. Get in there.”。
Seeing Zi Yun enter the Anatta Tower, Xiao Man naturally did not hesitate either. She quickly charged towards the Anatta Tower, but just when she stepped through its entrance, the mysterious power that protected her appeared and formed an invisible barrier that blocked her way, preventing her from entering the tower.
“This girl should be somehow connected to the Neptunean Divine Palace, where the power of the palace protects her. As for the tower, it seems extremely damaged, but it’s actually extraordinary. If I’ve guessed correctly, this tower should be able to keep out the power of the Neptunean Divine Palace, or the power of the palace would not be obstructing the girl’s entry, as it’ll become useless once she does go in there.” Cang Ying, who stood beside Mo Cheng, stared at Xiao Man in interest before studying the tower. He seemed to be in thought.
“The Neptunean Divine Palace is a high quality god artifact. Even though there isn’t an artifact spirit, it’s still extremely powerful. Just what level of quality is this tower on if even the palace’s power can’t enter it?” Mo Cheng was surprised.
“This tower is a god artifact at the very least because only god artifacts, regardless of quality, can cut off the power of the palace,” said Cang Ying.
To another side, Jian Chen saw that Xiao Man could not enter the Anatta Tower, and a gleam of light immediately flashed through his eyes. With a cold snort, he immediately controlled the power that belonged to the Anatta Tower.
Now that Jian Chen had refined up to the fifth floor of the Anatta Tower, he possessed basic control over it, which included the sliver of power in the Anatta Tower.
Even though the sliver of power was very weak and would not have astonishing effects against opponents, it could be extremely useful at certain times.
Under Jian Chen’s control, the power immediately emerged, causing the tower to shine with a faint, golden light. Wherever the light reached, it seemed to become its own world, like an independent space.
When the golden light covered Xiao Man, the mysterious power around her was immediately cut off. Without its obstruction, Xiao Man crossed over into the Anatta Tower immediately.
At the same time, the seals left behind by the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt on the Anatta Tower began to awaken. All the slashes on the tower began to shine and suppress the tower’s power. In less than five seconds, the power that Jian Chen had used from the tower was firmly suppressed by the Nirvanic Immortal Exalt’s seal.
Immediately, the Anatta Tower stopped shining and became ordinary again.
With a wave of his hand, Jian Chen stowed the Anatta Tower away as quickly as he could. After calling out to Kai Ya, the two of them flew away with lightning speed.
The current situation was extremely bad for them. Clearly, it was inconvenient for them to deal with the ninth prince’s people. If they remained behind, even more supreme Godkings would gather over, and it would become an even more difficult situation.
“Jian Chen, do you still think you can escape?” Mister Shu smiled gently. The Cataclysmic Onyxwind Fan had already appeared in his hand. He swung it gently, and the world around them seemed to darken. Even the origin energy became extremely disorderly as a black gust of wind suddenly appeared, sweeping towards Jian Chen with devastating power.
“God artifact!” The Godkings in the surroundings cried out as they all stared at the fan in mister Shu’s hand. They were shocked.
