Chapter 2156 - The Person Behind it All (Four)

Chapter 2156: The Person Behind it All (Four)

“I don’t know what has happened, but it can’t be good. Look at the sky,” Shui Yunlan’s cold voice rang out. She currently had her head tilted as she stared at the black sky without blinking at all. Her cold, emotionless eyes bore a rare smear of seriousness.

Everyone looked at the sky with that. Their eyes immediately narrowed.

Even though the sky was pitch-black, without any light, they could see through the darkness and void with their cultivation at Godking. Currently, they could clearly see the sky shatter and vanish at a visible rate.

“It’s the artifact spirit. It’s the artifact spirit of the Neptunean Divine Palace. The sudden occurrences to the Neptunean Divine Palace must be caused by the artifact spirit…”

A supreme Godking healing nearby cried out. He looked at the sky with a multitude of emotions. There was eagerness, excitement as well as unease.

“Yep. It has to be related to the artifact spirit. Does this mean that the artifact spirit will be appearing…” Another supreme Godking called out in surprise and delight.

All the supreme Godkings nearby struggled to remain calm when they heard that. Emotions flooded their eyes. They looked around with burning desire, eagerness, and hope.

At the same time, many of them thought of something. The appearance of the artifact spirit meant that the Neptunean Divine Palace was about to take on a new owner. This made many of them nervous.

“Something is off,” Jian Chen growled. His gaze shone like a blaze as sword Qi gathered. He paid extremely close attention to the sky as his heart weighed heavier and heavier. The changes to the sky at that moment made him experience a vague illusion as if the sky was being devoured by a mysterious and great power.

As a direct result, the sky shattered and was reduced to void.

The Neptunean Divine Palace was changing!

At the same time, an old man in simple robes sat on the highest mountain peak in the Neptunean Mountains several million kilometres from Jian Chen and the others. He also stared at the pitch-black sky sternly.

He was master Chanlong.

At this moment, a small set of formation banners flew out from master Chanlong’s Space Ring by itself. It radiated with a powerful pulse of energy and immediately conjured a huge python. It stared at the sky with its snake eyes that were around the size of a normal human’s head as its thick tail swept about uneasily.

“What is happening? Why do I suddenly feel very agitated, where I can’t calm down at all?” The python produced a mental pulse. In reality, the snake was conjured by the formation banners while there was a soul trapped within the banners.

Master Chanlong glanced at the soul strangely when he heard that. He said, “You actually feel the same? That means we are the same. I’ve also become extremely irritated after the sky suddenly changed. It’s like millions of ants are crawling on me. I can’t calm down no matter what.”

“Old man Chanlong, I- I suddenly have this urge to kill,” the trapped soul abruptly became agitated. It revolved around Chanlong with much unease with its huge, serpentine body.

“Aren’t you skilled in divination, where you can see through the heavenly secrets as well as peer into the past and the future? Have a look at what’s happening,” master Chanlong sucked in a deep breath and forcefully remained calm. In reality, his breathing became more and more ragged while his heart beat faster and faster. The strange sense of irritation in him became more and more intense.

“There’s nothing. I see nothing. I can’t tell what’s happening at all…”

At this moment, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black sky. A sun had appeared silently.

This was the Neptunean Sun. Currently, the Neptunean Sun no longer had its brightness from before. Not only was it extremely dim like a firefly, but it tottered in the sky as well.

“R- run. Escape from here… The Neptunean Divine Palace is about to be lost. I- I can’t last much longer. R- run…”

As the gloomy Neptunean Sun appeared, a weak voice rang out as well. It was obscure, but it resounded through the entire Neptunean Divine Palace.

At that moment, the same voice rang through every inch of every floor of the Neptunean Divine Palace, allowing everyone to hear it clearly.

When the voice ended, the dim Neptunean Sun that had suddenly appeared in the sky vanished once again, swallowed up by the darkness.

All the Godkings gathered at the entrance of the ninth floor were stunned, but this only lasted for a very short moment. Afterwards, it was swallowed up by intense fear and dread.

Even the expressions of Jian Chen and the others changed suddenly. They suddenly realised that they were in trouble.

“Did the voice just then come from the artifact spirit?”

“I can’t find the origins of the voice at all, and the voice appeared with the strange Neptunean Sun, so it must have come from the artifact spirit. Oh no, something is happening to the Neptunean Divine Palace. Run, everybody…”

“The Neptunean Divine Palace is about to be lost. Even the god-like artifact spirit is about to die. We can’t stay here. Run, run quickly…”

…

The expressions of all the supreme Godkings gathered there changed drastically. After confirming that the voice came from the artifact spirit of the Neptunean Divine Palace, they all became filled with angst.

“Run! Leave here as quickly as possible!” Jian Chen’s heart also sank. Suddenly, he called out to the people beside him.

However, just when Jian Chen had said those words, he suddenly became astounded. He staggered, and he actually lost his footing, falling right to the ground.

Plop!

Plop!

…

Basically at the same time, the sounds of people collapsing in the surroundings rang out constantly. Even Audriana, Shui Yunlan, Rui Di, Zhi Ye, Shangguan Mu’er, Ming Dong, and the five divine generals seemed to lose all their power at that moment, having all collapsed onto the ground.

Even the supreme Godkings healing in the surroundings seemed to deflate like balloons. They either sat on the ground weakly, or they laid on the ground powerlessly. None of them remained standing.

Jian Chen’s complexion became extremely horrible. At that moment, not only did he felt like he had lost all his power, where he could not even move a finger, but he could not even use the Chaotic Force within him.

Most importantly, he seemed to lose the senses of his soul as well. He had completely been reduced to an ordinary person.
