chapter 2299 the righteous path’s decline

guo ran immediately fled. once he was gone, long chen realized that there was only one rune left at the exit, when there had been many brilliant runes at the start.

that made long chen realize that there were quotas for leaving. however many people arrived here was however many people could leave. less than the max could leave, but not more.

seeing guo ran leave, long chen took a deep breath. evilmoon took this moment to warn him, “long chen, this thing may be infected with karma. do you really want it?”

“seeing something good and not taking it isn’t my style. as for karma, who can say whether it’s good or bad? since that’s the case, let’s just close our eyes and do it.”

long chen suddenly yanked on the chains. his divine ring appeared, as well as all of his battle armor. the ground shattered from how hard he pulled.

boom!

one of the door knockers left the gates. as he had predicted, their connection to the gates was not very sturdy.

however, just as it left the gates, long chen’s hair stood on end. a terrifying sense of danger filled his heart. it was like a beast of death had locked onto him.

boom!

long chen once more pulled, dragging out the second knocker.

“get in!” activating the primal chaos bead, the two giant knockers were pulled into the primal chaos space. he then immediately fled.

suddenly, the gates opened and a giant head stretched out of it. the head was black and even bigger than the gates.

“holy... what the hell is that?!”

long chen turned green. he couldn’t see what exactly it was, but he saw a pair of giant eyes. long chen felt like his soul might flee his body.

the head was so big that it couldn’t squeeze any further out of the gates. it suddenly let out a furious roar. the void exploded, and long chen’s soul almost dissipated.

the head struggled to charge through the gates, and cracks actually started to appear all over them.

“it seems that i really did provoke a calamity.”

long chen was horrified to see that this monster was so powerful that it was even able to tear the gates of hell apart. finally, the two gates exploded and a giant figure appeared.

“bye!”

“how are they so small? their aura also isn’t the same,” said guo ran.

“it’s due to the different laws between the netherworld and the martial heaven continent. you can research these knockers yourself. i already said, we’d split them one each.”

“hehe, don’t worry boss, i wouldn’t dare to place my sights on your things!” declared guo ran.

seeing that everyone had returned safe and sound, with their yuan spirits powered up to a new level, long chen felt a heavy weight fall from his heart.

when they came out of seclusion, they saw yue xiaoqian waiting for them. she and the other experts of the original devil race had already advanced to the netherpassage realm.

long chen had wanted to undergo this journey with yue xiaoqian, but yue xihan had said that the original devil race’s people were different from the rest of the continent’s lifeforms, and she couldn’t go with them.

unexpectedly, yue xiaoqian had been the first to break through. she had even undergone her tribulation to officially enter the netherpassage realm.

“long chen, the outside world’s growing chaotic.” yue xiaoqian immediately brought up bad news.

“what is it?” asked long chen.

“it’s been half a year. many people think that you’ve run into a problem. pill valley, the ancient races, the corrupt path, the ancient family alliance, the xuan beasts, they’ve all started making trouble for the righteous path again...”

long chen and the others were shocked to hear that half a year had passed here. they had felt it to only be a few days.

in truth, what they didn’t know was that they should have come out around the three-month mark like the majority of the continent. however, they had been delayed while accepting the divine light blessing at the end of the netherpassage path. that was an extremely special place, and the time they had lost there while leng yueyan distributed gifts had distorted their time here. as a result, they had spent an extra three months away from the continent. most of the other experts on the continent had already finished breaking through and finished their tribulations.

the pill fairy, tian xiezi, kun pengzi, dongfang yuyang, ximen tianxiong, nangong zuiyue, beitang rushuang, ye lingshan, mo nian, and hu feng had all come out of seclusion. the martial heaven continent’s power had soared.

with their power on a new level, they had returned to the yin yang world, with some of them even entering deeper into it.

with everyone competing for the immemorial essence blood, things had gone well at first, but then some conflicts occurred. the righteous path had many experts but few elites. they were often bullied and pushed aside.

the majority of the time, the righteous disciples were forced to endure. after all, there was a ceasefire, and they weren’t as powerful. their territory was forcibly occupied by others.

as time passed, the others seemed to get used to this and often expelled the righteous experts from the battlefields so that they couldn’t obtain any of the essence blood.

the righteous disciples were infuriated. ye lingshan had personally reported this matter to the divine families, but the reply was that the bigger the mouth, the more meat they could eat. in other words, if they couldn’t deal with it, they should leave the battles to others.

this was a clear bias toward the other powers that were targeting the righteous path. it was only later when ye lingshan investigated that she realized that the ones guarding the outside of the yin yang world were no longer the warriors of the eighth legion. they had been replaced by the seventh legion.

“ye benchang?” hearing that, long chen narrowed his eyes, killing intent surfacing within them.
