Chapter 1496 1496: Death or death?
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Maze of Death, an Artefact that was even more powerful than the Sword of Time in some categories, laid before Long Chen. He was told that if he wanted to go ahead, he needed to go through the maze.
Not only did he need to survive inside that, but he also needed to clear the maze. Moreover, there was no shortcut to clear it. Even Long Tian didn’t know of a way to clear the Dungeon.
Long Chen stood on the warm grass. His shoes had already worn out for the most part, yet he hadn’t changed them. Being trapped in the chaotic space had placed a lot of pressure on it. The shoes had also started getting torn from places.
The walls of the maze, they seemed like any ordinary walls, yet Long Chen understood that these weren’t ordinary. This was a treasure, so there was no way the walls could be weak.
Moreover, the walls were so tall that it seemed like they were touching the sky. There seemed to be no limit to the height of the wall.
There was no way for someone to cross the wall from the sky by showing. They needed to go through the maze.
Moreover, there was nothing in the back either. There was no way back to go where they came from.
”So we have no choice but to go through it, do we?” Long Chen sat on the grass, seemingly in no hurry to enter the maze.
”Doesn’t seem to be any other option. You can’t teleport out of here,” Long Tian muttered.
”I know, I know. I can’t use my Laws. You don’t have to remind me again. Is there no other way?”
”I’m not talking about that. It’s not just you who can’t teleport out of this place, but literally everyone else too,” Long Tian exclaimed as he sat right beside Long Chen, looking at the sky.
”Why?” Long Chen gazed at the spirit of the man that was accompanying him.
”Because you can’t use your spatial element properly, you can’t sense it, but this entire place… It’s a Spatial Prison. No one can teleport out of here. Maybe there would be a way on the other side of the maze, but not here,” Long Tian explained.
”So either I enter the maze of death, or I stay in this Spatial Prison all my life. That’s the only two options I get?” Long Chen asked as he burst into laughter. “That doesn’t seem like much of an option, does it?”
”Maybe we really shouldn’t have come here?” Long Tian let out, gazing at the maze. “Because once we enter that maze, even I can’t guarantee that we’ll come out safely from it. You understand, right?”
”Yeah, basically what you’re saying is that we are screwed,” Long Chen repeated, sighing. “It’s alright though. If death is to come, what better place than here? Moreover, even if something happened to me inside, my family will still be safe in the realm of the Black Tortoise Clan. Zhu Chang week take care of them.”
”As for Xun, I think she should be fine as well inside the Inner Realm of mine. Even if something happened to me, she could still live her life there. The only one who will suffer might be you,” Long Chen said, glancing at Long Tian. “You’re attached to me. If something happens to me, what will happen to you? I haven’t found you the right body either. You’ll forever be trapped here.”
”I’ve been trapped in the Bloodline Temple for a long time. I am no longer scared of being trapped. That fear is long gone,” Long Tian smiled. “I would rather be destroyed here with you, and I won’t feel bad. As you said, the family is in a safe place now.”
”Hah, it seems both of us have prepared ourselves for the death that is to come,” Long Chen chuckled. “Since that’s the case, why delay?”
”Let’s go… Let’s go to our death!” He pushed his body up and stretched his arms. Even though he was weak, he was going to go inside the maze of death. He didn’t know what challenges he was going to face inside and had decided that he would come out alive no matter what happened.
Gentle winds brushed against his skin as Long Chen advanced toward the items at the entrance of the maze.
He patted his chest as a confident smile spread across his lips. “We have faced so many challenges along the way, and we have come out unscathed. There were so many times when we faced death straight in the face, and we survived. We survived, but we also grew from the experience!”
”This experience will be something similar. I promise you we will come out alive. Phoenix could not come out alive, but we aren’t her! We aren’t a God Beast! We aren’t ordinary humans either! We are much more than that. Our journey won’t stop just here!” Long Chen smiled as he clenched his fist. “I will survive, and you will survive with me. I promised your family that I’ll let them meet their real son in the future, and I don’t intend to fail that promise. So be ready!”
Long Chen took his first step inside the maze of death, prepared to face any adversity, as the massive door opened to allow him an entry.
The door closed as soon as Long Chen entered. Long Chen glanced back at the closed door. “No way out now. We can only go forward!”
~~~~
Long Chen wasn’t the only one who had received this choice. There was more than one door to enter this massive maze. In fact, there were hundreds of doors to enter but only one door to exit.
Long Chen was still lucky as he had received the advice of Long Tian about sending Xun back to his inner world, but the White Tiger Clan couldn’t do it. The White Tiger Clan didn’t possess inner worlds.
They were all caught in the Spatial Energy and disappeared. Moreover, as the energy was different in each spot, all of them were sent to a different place. No two people were teleported to the same entrance door. Since Long Tian sensed it before, he advised Long Chen as such so he and Xun wouldn’t separate.
The White Tiger Princess landed before one of the doors as well. She looked all around, trying to find her father and her clan members, but she couldn’t find anyone. She even waited around half an hour for their arrival before becoming sure that they weren’t coming.
She stood up, deciding to travel alone. She stepped inside the Maze of Death as well.
