Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2085: The Twelfth Floor

“Sigh. Jian Chen only became a Godking recently, yet he can match the supreme Godkings from the Godkings’ Throne. If he had some more time and reached late Godking, would he still have any opponents among Godkings?”

“Yeah. If Jian Chen was a peak Godking, he could probably challenge first place on the Godkings’ Throne. Killing Infinite Primes would not even be a problem.”

“Jian Chen is far too powerful. Including Gong Zheng, there were a total of eight supreme Godkings, yet two of them suffered heavy injuries to their souls, while the remaining six suffered injuries of various degrees as well.”

“A supreme Godking who has yet to truly rise up died just like this. What a pity. What a pity.”

Although the battle on the eighth floor of the Neptunean Divine Palace had ended, the Godkings around refused to leave. They all stared at where Jian Chen had fallen into the lava as they shook their heads and sighed.

Jian Chen was already dead. In their eyes, this was an indisputable fact. Even though they did not see his corpse, and no one personally saw his soul being wiped out, it was impossible for him to survive once he fell into the lava.

In the distance, the fifth prince of the Sky Empire was overjoyed. Finally, the matter occupying his mind had vanished.

As for Yun Xin, she entered a low period of silence. She was depressed.

The Godkings of the Yun family also stared at where Jian Chen had fallen as they sighed in pity inside.

Jian Chen had just become a Godking, yet he could fight supreme Godkings. This unrivalled battle prowess was supposed to make its way across the Saints’ World and make him a resplendent star that shook up the entire world, where he would be revered. However, he experienced a battle of completely different cultivation levels, and he died in the end, which all made them feel pity.

Before long, more supreme Godkings arrived on the eighth floor. After learning about what had happened, many of them sighed, feeling pity for the death of a prodigy like Jian Chen.

The Neptunean Divine Palace had a total of twelve floors. The highest was the twelfth floor, and it was also the most important place in the entire place.

This was because the four Grand Primes of the Daoist Sect of Neptunea had all left their legacies on the twelfth floor.

The twelfth floor was a place that everyone was eager to go to, but it was also a place countless people feared and would shy away from. Even some supreme Godkings felt very deep fear towards the twelfth floor and would not set foot there easily.

It was not because of how many terrifying traps of death were there, but because every time the Neptunean Divine Palace opened, terrifyingly powerful supreme Godkings would go there.

Even Infinite Primes might die before these Godkings. Before these people, even other supreme Godkings would be placed under tremendous pressure, where they would not be willing to face them.

The twelfth floor of the Neptunean Divine Palace was an idyllic world of water and mountains. However, the entire world was gloomy now, where only a huge, full moon hung in the sky, shining with clear and gentle moonlight.

Four statues several hundred meters tall stood there. Every single one of them depicted a Grand Prime from the Daoist Sect of Neptunea in the past. At the same time, the four statues symbolised four great legacies.

Across the countless years, one of the four legacies had been taken away, so one of the statues was dull and no longer gave off any pulses of energy, unlike the three other stone statues that were covered by a layer of hazy light as they pulsed with powerful energy.

Around the statues sat over a hundred Godkings. All of their eyes were closed, and they meditated like monks in an attempt to form a connection with the statues and gain their recognition for the Grand Prime’s legacy.

Not all of these people were supreme Godkings from the Godkings’ Throne. There were also some regular Godkings who took the risk and endured the tremendous mental pressure to stay there. They wanted to be blessed by the world and gain the favour of the Grand Primes of the Daoist Sect of Neptunea so that they could gain the legacy and rise up.

“I’ve just received news that a girl appeared on the ninth floor. She’s not strong, only at the Mortal realm, but apparently, she gained the protection of the world, where Godkings are unable to harm her at all.”

At this moment, a piece of news rang out through the twelfth floor, causing many Godkings on the floor to open their eyes.

“I’ve never heard about someone gaining the protection of the world after entering the Neptunean Divine Palace.”

“Something happened in the Neptunean Divine Palace just then, where the Neptunean Moon that had vanished for a very long time appeared again. Now that a girl has received the protection of the world, are these two matters related?”

“Countless years ago, a supreme expert foretold that when the Neptunean Moon reappears, something big will happen to the Neptunean Divine Hall, except even that supreme expert struggled to foretell what it would be and whether it would be good or bad. Right now, when something is about to happen to the Neptunean Divine Palace, a girl becomes protected by the world. Surely the major change to the Neptunean Divine Palace is related to the girl.”

A discussion broke out on the twelfth floor. Many Godkings analysed it and reached various conclusions.

However, this clearly was not enough to raise the attention of everyone present. There were still over a dozen people who did not move at all after hearing the news. They remained seated there without moving at all.

Among them was a Godking who was completely covered in silver-white armor that only revealed her eyes.

Although no one could see her face, it was quite evident that she was a female from the shape of her body.

Although the woman did not give off any pressure at all, she gave off a cold presence that made everyone nearby shiver. No one could approach her.

As a result, a range of several dozen meters around her was empty. No one dared to stay there.

“It’s said that an extremely impressive supreme prodigy appeared on the ninth floor. Not only did he harvest a quarter of all the heavenly resources in the Divine Medicinal Garden, but the girl protected by the world was taken by him as well. Moreover, he had only become a Godking recently, yet he could rival supreme Godkings on the Godkings’ Throne. He even injured them.”

When this news rang out, it immediately caused a disturbance on the twelfth floor. Many people showed disbelief, and even some supreme Godkings on the Godkings’ Throne showed doubt.

This was just too astonishing, to be able to fight supreme Godkings while only having become a Godking recently. It would even be described as frightful to the ear, so naturally, many people refused to believe it.

“You don’t believe it? This is completely true. It has already spread like wildfire on the floors below. It’s said that this person is called Jian Chen, a completely unknown name. Before he became a Godking, he unleashed his might in the Divine Medicinal Garden and slaughtered many Godkings. Now that he has broken through, his strength became even more astonishing. He completely had the power to challenge supreme Godkings, making him extremely terrifying.”
