Chapter 169 Most Difficult Trial in all of History

When that Elder saw that number, his expression completely changed . He looked at it with disbelief .

“How is this possible?!”

Everyone was shocked . To cause an Elder-level expert to become so shocked, just what was it?

Tu Fang sighed . “If I haven’t remembered wrongly, the fellow that is imprisoned in that cave has never been defeated in many years . ”

Tang Wan-er hastily asked, “What is the cave age?!” The situation was definitely not good . Her heart sunk .

“One thousand… One thousand and twenty-five years,” sputtered out Elder Li Qi .

The crowd descended into absolute silence . After each battle, those souls in the corpses would end up using up all their spiritual energy, requiring a great deal of time to recover .

It was like raising pigs . Once they were fat enough, you would slaughter it . After each battle, the soul inside would be exhausted and the cave age would be reset to zero .

Each devil corpse that had its head cut off wasn’t actually dead . But the soul sealed within the corpse would have used up so much energy that it needed to rest . They would just find another corpse to replace it, switching them out .

And the monastery had a rule that the core disciple trials’ devil corpses’ cave age could not surpa.s.s five hundred years . If it did, the Elders would personally go out to kill those devil corpses, using up all their spiritual energy and putting in a new corpse .

That was because devil corpses that had surpa.s.sed a cave age of five hundred years had already surpa.s.sed the limit of what a Blood Condensation genius could handle . Entering such a cave would only result in death for them .

That Elder’s face was deathly pale now . He was in charge of these caves, but he had made such an error . That was definitely an extremely great fault .

“Elder Tu Fang…” That Elder sadly sighed . But he was also a straightforward and upright person . He knew he had made an extremely grave mistake, causing a genius to die . He would accept his punishment .

Tu Fang shook his head . “This matter isn’t your fault . ”

Tu Fang had been in the Xuantian Monastery for many years . He already completely understood all the Elders . This Elder Li Qi was an extremely attentive person . It was normally impossible for him to have made such a mistake .

And in the past five hundred years, all the other caves that had surpa.s.sed the five hundred year limit had all been reset to zero . Only this one had remained . That was definitely odd .

In the past five hundred years, the three Elders in charge of the caves had never noticed it .

And when Tu Fang saw that cave, he had immediately thought of a possibility . Perhaps this was simply that fate had foreordained Long Chen to choose that cave .

But he of course wouldn’t dare to say that out loud . He remembered what the sect leader had repeatedly warned him about . He was admiring the sect leader even more for his courage to prove Long Chen was a true Divergent .

That Elder was completely confused why the normally completely strict Enforcement Elder Tu Fang would so easily forgive his error .

“How could Long Chen possibly pa.s.s such a high cave age? Why aren’t you going to save him?!” Tang Wan-er angrily raged .

Tu Fang shook his head . “It’s already been this long . Even if we went now, it has no meaning . Right now we can only hope Long Chen is lucky . ”

“What?!” Tang Wan-er had only barely managed to avoid death when her cave age had only been in the four hundreds!

The higher the cave age, the faster those souls would cultivate . Naturally that represented an exponential growth in strength as well .

Tang Wan-er ground her teeth and turned, rus.h.i.+ng over to the stone wall .

“Wan-er, come back!” Qing Yu was given a fright . She knew Tang Wan-er was planning on personally going to save Long Chen, and it was already too late for her to stop her . Tang Wan-er had already reached the stone wall .

BOOOOOM!!!!

A huge heaven-shaking explosion rang out just at this moment . People raised their heads to see that the cave Long Chen had been in had completely exploded, and a wretched figure had flown out .

“Is it Long Chen?” Someone called out as they recognized that figure to be Long Chen .

Long Chen was fleeing for his life . As soon as he had jumped out, a huge palm image had shot out, narrowly missing smas.h.i.+ng him .

That hand was just an empty image, but the berserk energy within it shook everyone . The entire stone wall was quivering .

After that palm image attack, an angry roar rang out filled with icy killing intent . “You wretched brat, you dare trick me?! Die!”

Following that shout, a black figure flew out of the cave, his entire body covered in black mist .

As soon as that figure flew out, he was immediately lit up by the light of the stone pillars . That black mist around his body was immediately burnt away with a sizzling sound .

“AHH!!! You’ve really angered me now . Brat, stand still!” That figure actually decided to chase after Long Chen in front of everyone’s appalled gazes despite being covered by that light .

“Long Chen!” Tang Wan-er on the other hand was celebrating .
