Chapter 3358 Enpuda’s Arrangement
Long Chen was holding the sect-maintaining divine stone, a miniature version of the foundation stone, and it contained endless power.
This stone came from the foundation stone. It had a divine diagram on top of it, which appeared to be the entire seventh branch academy.
This divine stone’s energy was so strong that let alone an Earth tier Immortal King, even a Heaven tier Immortal King would be wiped out by it. This was Long Chen’s true trump card.
However, activating it required some time, and it just so happened that Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ forcing the four of them back gave him the time to activate it.ƒ??e????????.c??
Even Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ didn’t know what that stone was. It was the special divine item of the dean and related to the karmic luck of the academy, so it was naturally a secret of the highest level.
If this stone was damaged or lost, it would cause the foundation stone to grow unstable. It could even cause it to crack. The consequences were extremely grave.
The foundation stone could not be moved or damaged. Otherwise, Lord Brahma’s subordinates would have long since smashed it.
However, if this sect-maintaining divine stone was damaged, then there would be a danger to the academy. It could be considered to possess half the power of the seventh branch academy’s core. Now that Long Chen had activated it, the four Earth tier Immortal Kings were instantly frozen.
“Die!”
Long Chen snorted. As the stone in his hand glowed, s.p.a.ce rumbled. The next moment, cracks covered the bodies of those Earth tier Immortal Kings.
“No!”
The four of them struggled with all their might but were directly crushed by a supreme power. They appeared so weak in front of this stone.
After the four Earth tier Immortal Kings were slain, Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ and the others sighed with relief. So Long Chen actually had such a terrifying trump card.
However, all of a sudden, the blood mist of the slain Earth tier Immortal Kings twisted and roiled as if it was alive.
“What?!”
Qin Feng and the others were shocked. Just what was going on? Long Chen was also surprised. He started to have a bad feeling.
The four clumps of blood mist suddenly exploded. The divine light coming from the heavens then transformed into a huge pa.s.sageway. Following that, the world became dark and death qi filled this world. At the end of the pa.s.sageway was a grave.
It was unknown where this pa.s.sageway led to, but it felt like there was no exit from it. Mist surged out as if the gates of h.e.l.l were opening.
“Long Chen, we meet again.”
When a voice rang out from the mist, Long Chen’s heart leaped.
“Enpuda!”
As expected, a black-robed fatty manifested within the mist. A pair of triangular eyes with fat squeezing them from all sides appeared, glinting with cold light. He was smiling like a viper sticking its tongue out. He was the master of the Bloodkill Hall, Enpuda.
“It goes without saying that you’re very smart. By walking a completely unnatural path, you actually managed to reclaim the seventh branch academy. I admit that I lost that time. But it’s fine. In games, it’s very normal to lose some and win some. And it seems that I won this one.” Enpuda smiled at Long Chen from the pa.s.sageway.
His voice was pleasant. If it wasn’t for his face, someone would a.s.sume that it was the voice of a kindly elder.
Long Chen nodded. “Not bad, as expected of a wily old fox. I was careless. I thought that this plan was made by the Nine Underworld Hall, but it was all a facade made by you.”
After killing Tian Mo, although Long Chen didn’t have time to do a soulsearch, he managed to tell through the fragments of Tian Mo’s soul that the Nine Underworld Hall had a hostile relations.h.i.+p with the Bloodkill Hall.
According to Long Chen’s calculations, Enpuda had given up temporarily and left the task to slay him to the Nine Underworld Hall. But unexpectedly, this was all arranged by Enpuda. Everything was under his control. Even the Nine Underworld Hall’s people were used by him.
“How else could I make you fall for it? The four of them wore the Underworld Soul Pa.s.sage Spirit Tablets, which can connect to the tomb of a World King at the end of this pa.s.sageway. You and I are still not in the same heaven. I’ve never seen you with my true body, which is rude of me. But fortunately, we are connected by destiny, and I will quickly see you with my true body. Are you happy?” Enpuda smiled.
This smile caused his face to scrunch up, making his face look like a pile of dung.
However, Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ and the others didn’t have any time to be disgusted. They were now in Enpuda’s trap, and Enpuda had seen Long Chen’s sect-maintaining divine stone. Despite that, he still appeared to have everything under control. Clearly, even this trump card was not enough. Now it was troublesome. Enpuda was truly worthy of being an old monster that had lived for countless years. They really were too immature compared to him.
“Truly amazing. This move of yours is well-done. If I didn’t appear, you would continue to kill everyone who opposed your rumors and then blame me for their deaths. Whether or not I was wrongly accused, the people trying to protect me would all die because of me, while I didn’t stand up for them. Even false can be made true like that. If those four Immortal Kings didn’t die, I would die. If they did die, this spatial channel would activate. Simply perfect,” said Long Chen. Although he was mortal enemies with Enpuda, he had to admit that old monsters truly were old monsters. He really had fallen for it.
“You’re not bad either. The number of times I’ve lost in my life can be counted on the fingers of one hand, but you’ve actually occupied one of those losses. That’s enough for you to be proud of,” said Enpuda indifferently. “Alright, the tomb’s death spiritual energy has been prepared. Long Chen, are you ready? I’m going to activate the formation now!”
Although Enpuda asked, he immediately activated it before waiting for a reply. After that, death qi poured out of the spatial channel, and an intense attractive force drew Long Chen and the others closer and closer to it. None of them was able to stop themselves from involuntarily being drawn in.
“Long Chen, think of something!” shouted Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+. She was already powerless.
Long Chen shook his head. “There’s nothing to think about. This wily old fox has prepared everything. If I activate the sect-maintaining divine stone, then I’d only be falling for his trap. It would be infected by this death spiritual qi, corroding the karmic luck of the seventh branch academy. If my guess is right, the seventh branch academy is already surrounded by experts. The sect-maintaining divine stone is connected to the foundation stone. So, if the foundation stone is shaken, the grand formation’s power will be weakened, and they’ll attack. Then the academy’s people will be slain, and even the foundation stone that they couldn’t break before will be destroyed. After that, the seventh branch academy will be lost for good. It might even implicate the main academy’s karmic luck.”
“It’s that bad? Then what can we do?!” Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ and the others were stunned. Enpuda’s scheme was truly terrifying.
Long Chen smiled. The sect-maintaining divine stone suddenly lit up, its light wrapping around Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ and the others.
“Long Chen, what are you doing?!” Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ cried out. A bad feeling rose in her heart.
