Chapter 1492 1492
âSo you want our help in killing him?â The Demon General asked, frowning.
âYes. I need your help since only you can send me to the place where he is currently at. Once Iâm there, I can stop him before itâs too late! I only need a Portal from you and no more. I donât need you to send any Demons with me. I believe I can handle it alone! But still, if youâd want to give me a better chance of success, you can give me some of your Demons. That man might have many allies by now!â Long Chen explained.
Hearing his words, even the Immortal Queen was impressed. Initially, she only wanted the Demons to open a portal for them, but with one lie of Long Chen, they were directly involved now. There was a good chance that they were going to let Long Chen borrow some Demons to help him along the way.
âYou are right. We canât give you Demons,â The Demon General nodded. âIf we send them with you to the God Beast Realm, it might initiate a war which we arenât interested in at this point. You understand?â
âHowever, we can certainly help you by opening a portal and allowing you to get there.â
âThat shall be enough,â Long Chen nodded, slightly disappointed that he wasnât going to get Demons to help him. But it didnât matter anyway. He was just taking a chance with it. At least they were opening a portal.
âGood. Stay where you are. I will consult His Majesty. After we have his permission, I will send you to the God Beast Realm!â
The voice disappeared, and so did the frightening aura. Long Chen sighed a breath of relief. Fortunately, things had gone according to plan, and these people didnât doubt him much. He was closer to initiating his plan.
âGood work,â the Immortal Queen smiled as she looked at Long Chen.
âWhat else did you expect?â Long Chen smiled in return. âNow, we will soon be there to stop him. His days are numbered!â

Back at the tomb in the White Tiger Realm, Long Chen still had no idea what was happening behind his back. He was still trying to get to the depths of the Tomb.
He had been walking for hours yet he hadnât seen the end of the hallway. So far, he hadnât seen any traps either.
Sometimes he even wondered if he had been walking in circles? He couldnât prove this notion though. He hadnât seen the poem after the first time, after all.
âWhere is the exit? Just how long is this place?â Long Chen asked, frowning.
âI have no idea. I think weâve walked a lot. That end doesnât seem in sight. Maybe we are really going in the wrong direction? Maybe we shouldâve taken the left instead,â Xun answered, frowning.
Unfortunately, even she was wrong. The White Tiger King, who had selected the left, went through the same phenomena. He had been walking since the beginning, and even now, he was still in the hallway. He hadnât reached the end of it. The same conversation was also taking place here where people were asking if they shouldâve taken the right.
After a long time, Long Chen stopped. He sat down and sighed. âI doubt we would reach the end like this. We need to find another way.â
âWhat else can we do? We can only keep walking and hope to find an exit,â Xun answered.
âOr we can take some drastic steps,â Long Chen replied as he looked at the Spirit Lines above his head. âThese Spirit Lines convey power to each section of the Dungeon, right?â
âYeah, what about it?â Xun asked, frowning. What was he trying to say?
âIf this hallway is indeed a trap, this trap is certainly being powered by these Spirit Lines.â Long Chen pulled out his Kingâs Sword.
âWait! Are you trying to say that you will destroy the Spirit Lines?âXun asked, shocked. âThese Spirit Lines might also be the ones keeping Tian Shen asleep. You shouldnât destroy them.â
âNot entirely,â Long Chen answered. âIâll just damage some of it, so that gets weakened. Iâm sure when the Spirit Lines are weakened, they canât bring energy to this part of the time. As for Tian Shen, he is most probably in the core of the Tomb. If these Spirit Lines here are damaged, he wonât be affected since he would most probably be above the Power Source if Iâm not wrong.â
âThat does make sense.â Long Tian agreed with Long Chenâs assessment. âIf this can help us get out of this place, then this is worth trying.â
âExactly.â Long Chen had already decided what he was going to do. He swung the Kingâs Sword towards the Spirit Lines.
âBang!â
The spirit Lines were hit by the sword. However, the Spirit Lines suffered no damage. Instead, the energy blast sent Long Chen flying back, who crashed into the wall on the other side.
At the same time, in another place, White Tiger Princess noticed that Spirit Lines flicker momentarily. She couldnât help but think of the same thing that Long Chen thought. There was no way someone would make this long hallway. It was most probably a trap.
She looked at her father. âFather, can you attack these Spirit Lines? I want to test something.â
Unlike Long Chen, the White Tiger King was the epitome of strength. His right hand transformed into claws which he swung at the Spirit Lines. He didnât even question his daughter one time. He was sure that there was some reasoning if she was asking him to do it.
His claws hit the Spirit Lines. Another explosion took place, but the outcome was different than what happened with Long Chen. The White Tiger King wasnât tossed back. Instead, it was the Spirit Lines that were hurt.
Xun ran to Long Chen and helped him up. âAre you alright? The Spirit Lines are very strong. I donât think you can break it without the Sword of Time, but it canât use that. So itâs impossible.â
Long Chen looked at the bright Spirit Lines, frowning. These were really strong. Was there no way to destroy them?
Just as he was thinking, a few Spirit Lines suddenly disappeared.
âWhat just happened? Did my attack ultimately work?â Long Chen asked, confused.
âI donât think so. The attack shouldnât have worked so late. If it were going to destroy the Spirit Lines, it wouldâve done immediately,â Xun explained.
âThen⊠How did it happen?â
âSomeone did it⊠Someone who isnât usâŠâ Xun grimly stated. âThey must be inside the Tomb as well.â
