Chapter 2092: Below the Lava
On the eighth floor of the Neptunean Divine Palace, Jian Chen’s body floated in the scorching lava that could melt even low quality god artifacts. His entire body was covered in lava as he slowly sank towards the bottom.
Right now, Jian Chen was completely unconscious, so he had no idea that he currently faced unprecedented danger.
The lava there was just too terrifying. Even items as tough as god artifacts could be broken down, let alone Jian Chen’s body. Even though he had already reached the twelfth layer of the Chaotic Body, his body was only as tough as supreme quality saint artifacts if his defences were pushed to the maximum. Naturally, he was unable to keep himself safe in the lava.
Moreover, he was currently unconscious. His body was not pumped full with Chaotic Force, so the defences of his Chaotic Body had not been pushed to the maximum. As a result, in under ten seconds of falling into the lava, his body had already been charred black. All of his skin had cracked completely.
After Jian Chen spent fifteen seconds in the lava, his body began to disintegrate away slowly, turning into ash and becoming a part of the red-hot lava.
Moreover, as time went on, Jian Chen’s body disintegrated faster and faster.
If this continued, the lava would probably reduce Jian Chen’s entire body to nothingness in under half a minute. In the end, his soul would be wiped out.
Currently, Jian Chen faced great danger. If he was still conscious, there would be hopes of him escaping from the lava through the toughness of his Chaotic Body, but he just happened to be unconscious.
Just as he faced this critical moment, the damaged Anatta Tower appeared near Jian Chen, rapidly approaching him. Afterwards, Kai Ya, who was forcefully tossed inside by Jian Chen earlier, suddenly flew out of the tower with a barrier of energy, heading straight for Jian Chen.
As soon as Kai Ya left the tower, the barrier of energy around her dimmed at a rapid pace. It only lasted for a moment before showing signs of shattering.
However, Kai Ya moved extremely quickly. When the barrier of energy around her shattered, she had already grabbed Jian Chen’s burning body successfully and returned to the Anatta Tower with a flash.
At that moment, if Jian Chen was still conscious, he would definitely be astounded because Kai Ya managed to move in and out of the Anatta Tower as she wished without the permission of him, who was basically the de facto owner of the tower now.
Kai Ya gently placed Jian Chen onto the ground on the first floor. When Jian Chen’s body came in contact with the ground, the solid stone he touched immediately began to melt, forming a small pool of scorching lava.
Jian Chen had just been pulled out of the lava. Naturally, he was still burning hot, so much so that he could even melt the tough rocks there.
A sliver of worry appeared in Kai Ya’s eyes when she looked at Jian Chen’s wounds. After a moment of thought, she took out several God Tier heavenly resources from her Space Ring and ground a portion of them to dust before gently sprinkling a portion onto Jian Chen. She directly fed the other portion into Jian Chen’s mouth.
There was naturally no doubt about the efficacy of God Tier heavenly resources. Jian Chen’s wounds immediately healed at a visible rate. His charred skin gradually recovered some of its normal colour.
This time, Jian Chen was extremely injured. Even with the heavenly resources and the regeneration of the Chaotic Body, it took him three whole days before he fully recovered.
Even though the wounds to his body were healed now, Jian Chen remained unconscious.
Zi Yun and Xiao Man had already arrived beside Jian Chen. They looked at him as they showed deep worry.
“Is big brother fine? Why isn’t he awake yet?” Xiao Man squatted beside Jian Chen as she asked in dejection.
“He’s already fine. It’s just that something has happened to his soul, so he should remain unconscious for a few more days,” Kai Ya looked at Jian Chen and said softly.
“Zi Yun will never forget the kindness that you two saviours have shown. If I get the chance, I will definitely return it,” Zi Yun bowed at Kai Ya deeply as she said sternly. She was grateful.
This time, Jian Chen remained unconscious for a very long time. Only after half a month did he slowly wake up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he immediately felt a sharp pain in his soul.
“Ah! Big brother, you’re finally awake. Fantastic. That’s fantastic. Sister Zi Yun, sister Kai Ya, Jian Chen has woken up,” Jian Chen heard Xiao Man’s voice first. It was filled with excitement and joy.
Without any need for a reminder, Zi Yun and Kai Ya had already sensed that he was awake the moment Jian Chen opened his eyes, as they were Godkings. They all made their way over.
Jian Chen sat up slowly. He looked around with some confusion, but soon afterwards, everything that happened before he lost consciousness flashed through his head, allowing him to clearly recall how several supreme Godkings had surrounded him, all the way until the evil power took over.
However, Jian Chen had no idea what had happened after the evil power took over him.
“Are we safe now?” Jian Chen looked at Kai Ya and slowly stood up. As soon as he stood up, he staggered as he felt dizzy, almost falling over.
Kai Ya immediately supported Jian Chen and asked out of concern, “Jian Chen, are you fine?”
Jian Chen shook his head gently, “I’m fine. My soul is just a little damaged. It’s probably caused by the evil power.
“We’re currently in the tower, and the tower has sunken to the very bottom of the lava. It’s impossible for the people above to come here, so safety is not a problem. Go heal up first,” said Kai Ya.
“Saviour, I have pills that can heal the soul here. Please take them.” Zi Yun immediately passed a jade bottle to Jian Chen. There was a God Tier pill for healing the soul in there. A Chaotic Prime from the Daoist Sect of Neptunea had left behind this pill. She had obtained the Chaotic Prime’s legacy, so she naturally obtained all of his belongings.
“There’s no need. I have heavenly resources that can heal the soul. I’ll go into seclusion for a period of time to heal that first.” Jian Chen immediately entered secluded cultivation. He used the sap from the last two pieces of Amethyst Spiritual Bamboo to heal the injury to his soul.
