Chapter 783

Long Chen escapes into a peak trial cave. The trial caves are divided into low, middle, high, and peak levels, with peak being the highest. Xue You chooses to enter a high level trial cave.
Once Long Chen entered the cave, he immediately found that something was wrong. The space behind him had been completely sealed. With each step he took, the space behind him would become untraversable. There was no way for him to retreat.
Right now, he was under a curse, and his body was extremely weak. His current combat ability was less than half of his peak state. Against someone like Xue You, he had no chance of winning.
All he hoped was to stall long enough for the curse to dissipate. Then once he had recovered, he could have an all-out fight against Xue You. Xue You might be strong, but Long Chen wasn't afraid. In fact, he made him feel intense battle intent. He was looking forward to having a real fight with a real expert.
He knew that Xue You's power was beyond his current comprehension. The blood-red runes he had released weren't Heavenly Dao runes, but some magical art (术法).
Long Chen carefully advanced. The cave was completely straight, and the walls and floor were covered in runes. He tried punching it, but not even the slightest bit of dust fell.
But that wasn't strange. The entire Immemorial Path had crumbled. The fact that this secret cave had been able to survive proved that it was extraordinary. Furthermore, they had fought so intensely within it. If it had been an ordinary mountain, it would have long since collapsed.
He advanced slowly. This cave gave him a feeling of immense pressure. Although he didn't feel any danger yet, he definitely wasn't feeling anything to be happy about.
After an incense stick's worth of time, the path diverged into eight. Long Chen was startled. He looked around and decided on one path randomly.
What he didn't realize was that the immortal character above the path he chose was the same as the one above the trial cave he had entered.
