chapter 2293 half-life half-death bridge

translator: borntobe

many lifeforms had gathered in the area ahead, but those lifeforms no longer had their old arrogance and confidence from before entering the gates of hell.

without exception, they were all tense, and some of them were even quivering just by standing there. clearly, they had gone through their own terrifying trials to reach here. they had personally witnessed countless other experts being killed. as a result, many of them felt lucky to be able to reach this point.

in front of the laws of the netherpassage path, they felt powerless, as if they were just randomly betting with their lives. one bad bet and they would die. furthermore, they had no choice but to bet.

“curious. why are there so many paths now?” wondered meng qi.

based on her observation, the sequence had gone from five forks to six forks, so there should be seven forks next. however, now there were nine. that represented a limit. most likely, this was the final pass.

long chen had an idea as to why. because he had chosen the most difficult trial on the six-way fork, they had directly entered the ninth path.

based on his senses to the nine paths up ahead, there were only three that they could choose. the others had strange fluctuations expelling him.

the options were the first, the fifth, and the ninth paths. one was the weakest, the other was in the middle, and the last was the strongest.

“the strangest thing is that we didn’t see a single person from the martial heaven continent...” guo ran looked around curiously.

xia chen bumped him, indicating to be quiet. long chen had sat down and closed his eyes, meditating. hence, guo ran shut his mouth.

within the nethergod palace, ming cangyue wondered, “what is he thinking?”

leng yueyan shook her head. “no one can ever tell what he’s thinking. there are only three paths in front of him now, but all three end up at half-life half-death bridge. half of those who step foot onto it will die, half will live. no matter how tough their lives are, half will still die there...”

“i understand. with the nethergod order, you can help them pass. i’m fine with it,” said ming cangyue.

“but changing the laws like that is against the position of a nethergod. our vengeance will be forced to come to a stop, and i’ll even receive a curse from the laws. so...”

“no need to ask. you are me, i am you. alone, you can’t endure the curse, so i will also be affected. however, since we’ve chosen to bet on long chen, we should go all-out. whether we win or lose, let’s bet,” said ming cangue, determined.

leng yueyan smiled and didn’t say anything. she clenched the nethergod order, preparing to help long chen’s group pass at the final juncture.

...

long chen had his eyes closed in meditation for a long time. meng qi and the others didn’t wish to disturb him. they were familiar with him and knew that he was definitely calculating something.

the other lifeforms in the surroundings made their choices one by one, entering their own paths. their bodies vanished from sight.

out of nowhere, long chen suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, making meng qi and the others jump.

“long chen!”

long chen waved his hand, indicating that he was fine. he closed his eyes once more. meng qi and the others looked at each other, not knowing why he would suddenly cough up blood. he hadn’t been injured before.

“boss, let’s not hesitate. just direct us. we’ll live together or die together.”

the dragonblood warriors shouted passionately.

“alright. then let’s flip the heavens.” seeing those fiery gazes, long chen also felt a heroic feeling. “let’s go!”

long chen waved his hand, bringing everyone to the easiest path.

quite a few other lifeforms followed them. the mist covering the path was like a gaping maw devouring them.

long chen led his people inside without hesitation. half an incense stick’s worth of time later, swords rained down from the sky.

evilmoon appeared in long chen’s hands, and he unleashed a giant black saber-image.

“divine ring!”

long chen was starting to unleash his full power. when the divine ring appeared, the laws of the world twisted and tore.

this was the end of the netherpassage path, and the trial had grown incredibly powerful. these sharp swords contained various kinds of energy. metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, dark, all kinds of energy were mixed together.

when blocking the first kind of energy, the other kinds would pass through. runes flashed through the air, falling like a rain of light. when they landed on people’s bodies, it felt like they were being smelted by a furnace of ten thousand flames.

long chen took the lead all on his own, shattering the strongest attacks.

“xia chen, endure it!” guo ran let out a startled cry. he saw that xia chen looked to be on the verge of collapse.

“i... i’m fine. i can endure.” xia chen was pale, but he continued pressing on. as a formation master, he focused on study. he didn’t have as much time to cultivate his body or soul.

seeing xia chen on the verge of collapse, guo ran carried him on his back as he pressed onward.

guo ran was an anomaly. he was the only one whose will couldn’t be sensed by the laws here. perhaps his will was just too weak, so the attacks didn’t bother him.

however, for the others, things were growing more difficult. it felt like their souls were about to be torn apart. if anyone felt despair, they would be doomed. this was the final trial of their will.

“everyone, prepare yourselves! charge through with me!”

long chen suddenly shouted. stars appeared in his eyes, and white dragon scales covered his body.

“split the heavens 8!”

boom!

long chen suddenly unleashed an attack that tore through the void, creating a giant hole in space. from that hole, they could see another path.

“quick, run!” shouted long chen, jumping in.
