Chapter 618: Chapter 618 Another "Life" Character

"Roar!"

"You lowly ants dare to break through the formation!"

As before, mystical beasts and monks descended from the murals on both sides.

Shouting and bellowing, they charged straight at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen pushed his Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique to its limits.

Having dealt with this situation before, Lu Chen just needed to be wary of any differences in the approach of the humans and beasts.

Lu Chen planned to respond to the ever-changing with the unchanging. He had not yet used his Ice-Strange Fire, keeping it as his final contingency.

Fortunately, this time there were no surprises.

Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, the Spiritual Power in his Dantian still untouched, and as for how much Spiritual Power was in the Ice Spirit Pearl, he couldn’t feel it.

The second wave.

The third wave.

It continued this way until the ninth wave.

For Lu Chen, it was only draining his Spiritual Power, and there seemed to be no other threats.

"Having passed the nine deaths, what is ’one life’?"

Each attack by the mystical beasts and monks didn’t take much time, but the relentless assaults hardly gave Lu Chen a chance to catch his breath.

Only now, standing on one leg on "one," inside the passageway, there was complete silence.

"Since it’s ’one life,’ does that mean I can walk over now?"

Lu Chen couldn’t help but think to himself, but this place was too mysterious and, within the ancient forbidden land, his Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique and Void-Breaking Spiritual Eyes Technique could not exert their full effect, leaving him unsure about what might come next.

"Why not, try using Spiritual Power first?"

Having thought it over, Lu Chen decided to remain still for the moment and let the Spiritual Power flow through first.

He gathered his focus, and his Dantian began to operate, sending out a strand of Chaos Spirit Power as thin as a hair.

The Chaos Spirit Power, faintly glowing with a gray-white light, surged forward.

Lu Chen watched intently.

This thread of Spiritual Power was not an attempt to probe the "Nine Deaths One life" but to see if he could determine the position of the formation’s pivotal treasure.

However, he did not hold too much hope. If the formation’s pivotal treasure did not consume the Chaos Spirit Power, then this action would have no effect.

Before long, the Spiritual Power that Lu Chen released slowly filled up the stone wall in front of him.

Yet there was no change.

"Alas."

He sighed. It seemed he would have to try walking out and find it himself.

Lu Chen hopped with his right foot, landing his left on the last character.

He was only a few zhang away from the stone wall covered by the Chaos Spirit Power.

He took a deep breath, about to jump forward again, when suddenly there was a thunderous boom in the passageway!

This time, both sides’ mural paintings lit up, casting a myriad of colors based on the hues of the oil paints!

"It changed? Why did it suddenly change?"

Lu Chen’s face paled as he tightly gripped the Heavenly Inquiry Spear in his hands.

At the same time, he summoned the Ice-Strange Fire, completely enveloping the Heavenly Inquiry Spear, ready for battle.

This time the commotion was even more alarming.

Still, the sense of crisis Lu Chen felt was not as strong as before.

"This..."

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, his countenance easing somewhat. He trusted his instincts, but why had such an event occurred?

He looked down at his feet.

The character for "life" was glowing.

"So this is ’one life’? Could it be that this is where fortune lies?"

The murals continued to glow without any sign of stopping, so he kept looking back.

Without his knowing, all the characters that had sunk previously had risen again.

The entire formation of characters lit up, with only the "life" beneath his feet glowing.

He stood still, motionless. This formation gave him not the slightest clue.

Unheard of, unseen.

And such transformations made it far more complicated than any formation he had understood before.

"Ancient forbidden land, the formations of ancient times, the formations within formations of the ancients..."

Lu Chen muttered to himself, waiting until the light above the mural paintings faded and the passageway turned back to deadly silence.

At that moment, the formation changed again.

The stone tiles, shaped like discs or chess pieces, began to spin on their own as if moved by an unseen force, disrupting the original arrangement!

Only the character for "life" where he stood remained unchanged.

Lu Chen’s mind raced, and he quickly employed his Heaven’s Pupil Technique.

With the distraction of the light gone, every character fell within his sight.

Some were familiar, others unrecognized.

Once the rearrangement ended, another anomaly occurred.

A thunderous roar echoed as many of the character circles collapsed again.

What remained lit up just like before!

Lu Chen looked at the closest glowing circle to him.

"If my memory serves me right, that’s also a ’life’ character!"
