Chapter 1301 The Aftermath

The Corrupt experts had all been brought away by the Corrupt G.o.d Skull, making the battlefield feel empty . All the Dragonblood warriors surrounded Long Chen .

“Boss!”

The black net mark on Long Chen’s forehead had already vanished . He looked completely normal . But everyone was worried .

Gui Yan had killed all the Corrupt Soul Transformation and Foundation Forging experts to unleash this curse . Even the Life Star experts had had their vitality stripped away . It definitely wasn’t just used to frighten people .

Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er were pale as they held Long Chen’s arms . Their hands were s.h.i.+vering with worry .

“Don’t worry . Right now, Long Chen is fine,” said Li Tianxuan .

But Li Tianxuan was sighing inside . A Divergent was truly a Divergent . No matter how you planned, no matter how many calculations you made, anything involving them would never be in your control .

Hearing this, everyone relaxed slightly . Long Chen asked, “Xuan Master, what is that Underworld Soul Ghost Curse, Life Devouring Blood Rite?”

When he had been cursed, he had felt his whole body turn cold as if he had been frozen . But then that feeling had pa.s.sed in the next moment . It was like it had never happened .

Seeing Li Tianxuan hesitate, Long Chen said, “Xuan Master, it’s fine to tell me . ”

Only then did Li Tianxuan sigh, “This is one of the Corrupt path’s most sinister curses . I never thought that Gui Yan would be able to unleash it at such a young age . The Underworld Soul Ghost Curse, Life Devouring Blood Rite is one of the Corrupt path’s sinister secret arts . Gui Yan has to possess an extremely high status in the Corrupt path, or he wouldn’t be able to learn such a skill, nor would he be able to forcibly strip other Corrupt experts of their life energy when they aren’t willing . Even Life Star experts had some of their life energy stripped away . All that energy has formed a curse that will go against your own life energy until you eventually die . ”

Hearing that the curse would take his life, everyone felt dazed . So Long Chen really was going to die?

“Li Tianxuan, having used the Reincarnation Mirror, you weren’t even able to protect a single disciple?!” Boss Bao cursed furiously .

“It really was my negligence,” sighed Li Tianxuan . In the end, he hadn’t managed to have absolute control over things .

At that time, he had been busy making sure his side was protected, and he hadn’t expected Gui Yan to unleash such a move . As for the dwarf, although he had been surprised by Gui Yan’s actions, he had clearly been prepared . He hadn’t given Li Tianxuan any chance to use the Reincarnation Mirror to save Long Chen . But saying those things now was meaningless .

“You think just saying it was your negligence will make things fine?! You-” raged Boss Bao .

“Boss Bao, this matter has nothing to do with the Xuan Master . ” Long Chen extended a hand to stop the bosses . He understood their characters . They had explosive tempers, and that could easily harm their relations.h.i.+ps .

Long Chen continued, “To have been able to handle things to this extent is probably something only the Xuan Master could have done . No one else could have done better . In this world, there is no perfect plan, and unexpected things always occur . Now that it has already happened, arguing about things is meaningless . Xuan Master, do you have any way to break or suppress the Underworld Soul Ghost Curse, Life Devouring Blood Rite?”

Hearing this question, everyone turned toward the Xuan Master . This related to Long Chen’s life or death . Their hearts clenched .

Li Tianxuan said, “There is a way to break it, but it might as well not exist . To remove this curse, the only method is to allow your life energy to become greater than the life energy within the curse . ”

Hearing this, everyone’s hearts turned cold . What kind of joke was this? How could a single person’s life energy be greater than the sum of so many Corrupt experts?

There had even been the partial life energy of seven Life Star experts . No wonder Li Tianxuan said that this method might as well not exist .

“As for suppressing it, once we return to the Xuantian Dao Sect, I can activate the Xuantian Formation . That way the Xuantian Tower will be able to suppress the curse . However, that means you will always have to stay within the Xuantian Tower . You’ll have to cultivate until your life energy surpa.s.ses the curse’s,” said Li Tianxuan .

Long Chen sighed . To possess that much life energy, he would have to advance to the Life Star realm at the very least . But how could that be possible? What about his tribulations?

“Xuan Master, what if I had a group of wood cultivators constantly replenish my life energy? Would that be able to resist the curse?” probed Long Chen . Everyone’s eyes brightened .

But Li Tianxuan shook his head . “You’re underestimating the curse . This is a curse of absolute death . At the same time as it counteracts your life energy, it will counter your soul, your physical body, your karmic luck, and every other factor . That was why Gui Yan was so arrogant as to say your death was certain . However, the curse will only activate after it sleeps in your body for three days . That’s why you don’t feel anything now . ”

Li Tianxuan’s words extinguished Long Chen’s final hope . Originally, he had thought that if it was just a matter of replenis.h.i.+ng life energy, he could just kill some Magical Beasts and revive the Iron Spruce Oaks . But it seemed he had underestimated Gui Yan’s methods .

“Then since that’s the case, Long Chen, you should go back to the Xuantian Dao Sect . With the Xuantian Tower’s power, protecting you should be no problem . Just properly cultivate in the Xuantian Tower until you reach the Life Star realm . Then we’ll go slaughter some of those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from the Corrupt path,” said Boss Bao . Right now, this was the only option .

Long Chen sighed . This was not a solution as his tribulations were all exceedingly difficult . Furthermore, the fifth star still refused to appear . And without it, the higher his cultivation base, the more his physical body would be unable to bear his own power . He would instead turn into a cripple .
