Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Nine Deaths and One Life!

"Death," the character held a visual shock and it was right beneath Lu Chen’s feet.

Lu Chen dared not move rashly, instead, he waited quietly for a moment.

Only after he was certain that nothing unusual had occurred did Lu Chen finally exhale a breath of relief.

Looking ahead once more, there were far fewer glowing circles than before, with only a few remaining that could serve as footholds.

He didn’t rush forward, but like a golden rooster standing on one leg, he retracted his other foot and thought carefully, "This seems to be the essential path to seek the treasure, but... what if I take a wrong step? Could it trigger a trap of some sort?"

Lu Chen had wanted to use the Heavenly Inquiry Spear to test the other circles.

But at this moment, not only were the characters on those circles no longer visible, but they had also completely retracted to become level with the ground, as if they had never existed before.

Lu Chen could only give up the idea and looked at the circle closest to him, "I should be able to jump over there and see, what on earth is the character written on it!"

Lu Chen took a deep breath and after gathering his strength for a moment, he leaped and landed precisely on the targeted circle.

Looking down, he found the character under his foot completely obscured by the sole of his shoe.

He scratched his head, unable to figure out what character would be like this.

But when he raised his head to look forward once again, he saw that there was only one circle left!

The passage was the same as before, with no changes.

"I think I know now,"

Lu Chen had a vague idea in his mind and didn’t waste any more time, making another leap onto the last circle!

"This is..."

Standing on the fourth character, Lu Chen saw the character "life."

And by this time, he was merely an arm’s length from the end, with flat ground before him.

But Lu Chen didn’t dare to leave the character right away.

He wanted to see if this was the trap he had anticipated!

As he thought this, the ground suddenly shook violently, and the entire cave started to quiver!

Right after that, the mural on both sides also glossed over with spiritual light, as if coming to life!

"Could it be that these beasts and people will walk out?"

Just as this thought crossed his mind, Lu Chen found it somewhat unbelievable. How could a painting come to life?

He pondered for a moment and still felt something was wrong, so he opened his mind’s eye.

His vision rapidly expanded, and the characters on the three circles he had stepped on before were now especially conspicuous.

Lu Chen remembered that he hadn’t figured out the third character and took another look at it.

"One? Is that a ’one’ character?"

With only one stroke, Lu Chen could not consider anything else.

But immediately,

his expression changed again, and he shouted in alarm!

"Nine deaths, one life!"

It was at this moment that the trembling of the passage ceased!

From both sides of the mural, shadows descended!

On one side were the beasts.

On the other, a human, an ancient practitioner!

Alive and visible in flesh!

"Roar—"

"Trespassing the eye of the formation, die!"

Voices came from both sides almost simultaneously and then, the beast and the practitioner charged towards Lu Chen!

"Not good, get out first!"

Lu Chen broke out in a cold sweat, no longer daring to linger.

But soon, he found himself locked in place by an invisible pressure!

Except for the direction of the "one" character, nowhere else was accessible!

"Traps, formations... never mind that, getting out of here comes first!"

Lu Chen was frantic. Being restrained in movement and attacked from both sides, staying any longer meant death!

Without any hesitation, Lu Chen jumped back, landing on the "one" character.

But the beast and the practitioner were unaffected, stepping on thin air, they continued to pursue him!

Lu Chen’s eyes sparkled as he leaped back once more, this time standing on the "death" character!

He had no intention of leaving.

On the "death" character, he could move more freely!

Lu Chen held the Ice Over the World fan in one hand and the Heavenly Inquiry Spear in the other. Under the guidance of his mind’s eye, he watched every move of the man and the beast!

"Spear Strikes Like a Dragon!"

"Ice Over the World!"

Lu Chen multitasked, simultaneously unleashing his skills toward both sides!

The Heavenly Inquiry Spear burst forth an ice dragon, while the Ice Over the World fan formed a massive blade of ice!

Boom!

The deafening sound echoed through the passageway, its forceful aftermath causing the Chaos Spiritual Power beyond the fissures to surge...
