Chapter 2066: The Neptunean Moon (Two)

As their opponents were all merciless, wanting to kill them with every strike in an attempt to rob them of their belongings, Jian Chen’s group did not hold back either. As a result, all the Godkings died soon after the battle had begun.

Before long, over a dozen corpses appeared on the ground. All the Godkings who wanted to take their heavenly resources died there, where none of them managed to escape.

Only Xiao Zheng was injured on Jian Chen’s side. Chanlong managed to cast down his formations in time, so he could use them against his opponents, allowing him to emerge unscathed. As for Jian Chen and Kai Ya, regular Godkings were no longer able to harm them, as they had become Godkings. They were close to being invincible despite only having broken through recently.

Jian Chen thought about the young Immortal Devouring Orchid again when he looked at all the corpses. He could only sigh in pity. It would have been fantastic if the Immortal Devouring Orchid was powerful enough so that he could feed the corpses to it.

He had thought about collecting the corpses and preserving them for when the Immortal Devouring Orchid was powerful enough, but the sword spirits had already warned him that corpses that had been dead for too long would only be detrimental to the Immortal Devouring Orchid.

After the battle, Xiao Zheng and Chanlong became extremely stern. Chanlong said, “Jian Chen, the development of this issue is rather unexpected. There are probably a lot of Godkings looking for us on this floor. Although we did not fear this small group, once many Godkings band together against us and even supreme experts from the Godkings’ Throne take part, it’ll be extremely difficult for us to deal with them with our strength. I think we better return to the Neptunean Mountains sooner.”

Jian Chen sank into his thoughts from what Chanlong had said. He also frowned gently. Although his current strength was greater than the average Godking, he did not become blinded by confidence at all. He understood that there was still a portion of Godkings who could pose a threat to him in the Neptunean Divine Palace such as the old man beside Mo Cheng and the god artifact wielding mister Shu from the Sky Empire. They all pressured him. Even though he had become a Godking now, he still did not have complete confidence in defeating them.

This was because he knew that they were far more powerful than regular late Godkings, let alone the fact that one of them had a god artifact.

He had no idea how many more supreme Godkings had gathered in the Neptunean Divine Palace apart from the two of them. None of them could be underestimated. If they took part in the hunt for him, he would indeed be troubled or even face the threat of death.

Jian Chen was even certain that there would definitely be supreme experts from the Godkings’ Throne among all the Godkings searching for him. After all, their harvest was just too bountiful. They had dug up a quarter of over a thousand God Tier heavenly resources in the Divine Medicinal Garden. This was already enough to attract envy from Primordial realm experts. They would even go as far as to lay their lives down for so many heavenly resources.

Indeed, their current situation was bad.

“We should avoid the centre of attention temporarily and not move around in the Neptunean Divine Palace for some time. I plan on returning to the eighth floor,” Jian Chen said after some thought. He looked at Kai Ya and said, “Kai Ya, Xiao Zheng, are you going to return to the Neptunean Mountains with Chanlong first? Right now, it’s the safest place for the two of you without a doubt.”

The light in Kai Ya’s eyes shimmered. She said, “Just let Xiao Zheng and Chanlong return to the Neptunean Mountains. I’ll go with you. After all, with my strength, I should be able to provide some assistance to you.”

“That… works as well. Let’s just do that then. We’ll accompany Chanlong and Xiao Zheng to the Neptunean Mountains first before going to the eighth floor,” said Jian Chen. Afterwards, they escorted Chanlong and Xiao Zheng to the Neptunean Mountains. At the same time, Jian Chen got Chanlong to hide their presence within a cave there through the Grand Exalt’s formation before taking out all the heavenly resources and splitting them among themselves.

With over two hundred God Tier heavenly resources placed in a small cave, just the heavy fragrance alone would have been enough to spread far, far away. If it were not for Chanlong’s isolation through his formations, probably the presence of the heavenly resources would have been enough to alarm all the Godkings cultivating in the mountains.

“These heavenly resources should be worth quite a few five-colored divine crystals,” Jian Chen was filled with eagerness as he looked at the various assortments of heavenly resources.

At this moment, a fist-sized beast flew out from Kai Ya’s Space Ring. Its eyes shone brightly as it stared at the ground full of heavenly resources. It seemed to drool as it stared at Jian Chen and Kai Ya with its intelligent, bright, little eyes. It was like it was begging them out of desire.

This was the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast that had not been seen for quite a long while. It had always remained beside Kai Ya, hiding in Kai Ya’s Space Ring to cultivate.

“Oh, you little thing. You always come out when you see something good,” Jian Chen could not help but joke as he gently knocked its head with his knuckles.

“Eat whatever you want,” Kai Ya said gently as she looked at the Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast tenderly. She could not forget about the help it had provided her with when she was still weak.

The Seven-colored Heaven-devouring Beast was immediately overjoyed. It fluttered its wings as if flew into the heap of heavenly resources as a blur and directly wolfed down three of them in one fell swoop. After that, it returned into Kai Ya’s Space Ring in satisfaction.

In the end, Jian Chen, Kai Ya, and Chanlong split the two hundred and sixty-six heavenly resources evenly, while Xiao Zheng took away a Flower of Ways.

Originally, Jian Chen wanted to give Xiao Zheng some more heavenly resources, but Xiao Zheng declined firmly. He knew that he did not contribute much to collecting the heavenly resources, so a single Flower of Ways satisfied him very much already. He did not wish to take advantage of them.

Afterwards, Jian Chen and Kai Ya did not stay for any longer. They directly left the Neptunean Mountains, heading for the eighth floor of the Neptunean Divine Palace.

At the same time, Zi Yun carried Xiao Man as she fell out of the air while shaking, ten thousand kilometers from Jian Chen’s location. As soon as she hit the ground, she staggered and directly collapsed.

Zi Yun’s face was sheet-white right now, without a shred of blood at all. Her presence was frail, and she was extremely weak such that she seemed like she was taking her last breaths.

“Sister, how are you? Are you alright? Please don’t scare me,” Xiao Man hugged Zi Yun tightly as her small face was filled with worry and fear.

Zi Yun had burnt her essence blood several times to flee, so she had paid a huge price. Coupled with the fact that she fought against some Godkings along the way, she was heavily injured. As a result, not only did she no longer possess the power to flee, but she could not even stand up now.

“Xiao Man, sorry. It’s your sister who doomed you. I shouldn’t have been greedy for that Chaotic Prime’s legacy. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have ended up like this. I can’t last much longer, and the Godkings are going to catch up very soon. I can’t accompany you any further in the future. Xiao Man, run right now. Their target is me, not you,” Zi Yun stared at Xiao Man gloomily as a deep sense of apology and regret filled her eyes. She was powerless even when she spoke.
