Chapter 789

Once he left the trial caves, Long Chen carefully continued forward . He pa.s.sed through two more regions and saw a rather large block ahead on the map .

This place was already a bit off from the main path, and there shouldn’t be any opportunities within this place . The reason Long Chen had chosen here was to avoid other experts .

After going through so many immense battles while cursed, he was already exhausted, whether it was physically or mentally . This curse was just too hateful .

This kind of weakness, exhaustion, and negativity made him feel like he had some disease that wouldn’t go away . That feeling could make a person crazy .

Long Chen swore that he definitely wouldn’t play around with this kind of d.a.m.nable thing again . Last time, it had been his mistake . In truth, while that person had been using this curse, there had been time for Long Chen to interrupt him . Or perhaps he could have summoned Lei Long to isolate the runes outside his body .

Of course, the Yama King Blood Curse that Xue You had used was much more terrifying . Long Chen felt like such a strange move wasn’t something that could be blocked . Most likely, he would have to directly interrupt him or directly flee .

After all, even a peak seventh rank Magical Beast had been cursed to death . How was he supposed to block it?

It really was too regretful that he hadn’t managed to kill Xue You this time . He had just been lacking ever so slightly . In the future, he probably wouldn’t have such a good opportunity . Once they encountered each other again, it would definitely be a true world-shaking battle .

But Long Chen wasn’t afraid . It was only because he had been cursed that he had been at such a disadvantage .

In his current weakened state, Long Chen no longer continued to run around randomly . He found that circulating his qi was becoming more and more tiresome . If he encountered an expert in this situation, it really would be problematic .

There was a vast forest ahead . According to reason, such a place shouldn’t have any trials inside it . Cultivators wouldn’t be interested in this place .

Long Chen entered and found an extremely hidden cave . Confirming that no Magical Beasts were living inside it, he set up a camp inside .

Under this loathsome curse, Long Chen couldn’t do anything . He just directly began to consume Enlightenment Palace Pills . After three days of eating, the Enlightenment Palace Star shook slightly . Its body once more grew a bit as it entered the third star transformation .

That filled Long Chen with antic.i.p.ation . Only when each star had reached the ninth star transformation would he be able to summon the true next level divine ring and battle armor .

Three days later, he felt his body suddenly lighten . The feeling of being sickly faded all at once, and he felt full of strength .

It was like a mysophobic person had finally gotten a chance to wash off all the mud on them . That kind of feeling made Long Chen have an urge to cry . The feeling of his strength returning was too good .

Now, the curse had disappeared . But Long Chen had gained experience in the Corrupt path’s techniques . When he encountered such people in the future, he would definitely have to pay any price to cut them down as fast as possible .

Punching a few times, Long Chen confirmed that his strength had returned . Furthermore, because he had reached the third star transformation, his strength had clearly increased .

Long Chen took out the map . He saw that he had currently deviated from the main path and would need to correct his direction .

After pa.s.sing over two mountains, he suddenly saw two figures rus.h.i.+ng ahead . He was startled, and he hastily hid himself behind a large tree .

Those two were Celestials, but Long Chen was startled to see that they were extremely young . They looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old .

There was one man, and one woman . They wore strange clothes, clothes in a style that he had never seen before .

Those two youths were clearly panicked as they fled for their lives . There was a layer of light covering their bodies .

Long Chen saw that that light wasn’t some secret technique, but more like a curse that was exhausting their energy .

“Big brother Xiao Fei, run! I’ll block them!” The woman suddenly stopped .

“What kind of joke is that? How could I possibly let you block them for me!?” raged the man . He pulled her, continuing to flee .

At this moment, Long Chen saw five figures rapidly getting closer . They were wearing the Corrupt path’s robes, but they were all just ordinary rank one Celestials .

The young woman was so panicked that she cried, “Now that the Immemorial Path was opened, we’re restricted and can’t release our power . If this continues, neither of us will be able to get away . I-”

“Stop wasting words . Even if we have to die, we have to die together . If I let you block them for me, then even if I live, it would be a life worse than death!” said the young man firmly .

Their speed was clearly slower than the five Corrupt experts . It was obvious they couldn’t get away . The young man suddenly stopped running and took out a sword, placing himself in front of the woman .

The woman also took out a sword . Long Chen looked and saw that their swords were simply low grade spirit weapons . The quality wasn’t very good .
