Rise Of The Demon God

"So you want our help in killing him?" The Demon General asked, frowning.

"Yes. I need your help since only you can send me to the place where he is currently at. Once I'm there, I can stop him before it's too late! I only need a Portal from you and no more. I don't need you to send any Demons with me. I believe I can handle it alone! But still, if you'd want to give me a better chance of success, you can give me some of your Demons. That man might have many allies by now!" Long Chen explained.

Hearing his words, even the Immortal Queen was impressed. Initially, she only wanted the Demons to open a portal for them, but with one lie of Long Chen, they were directly involved now. There was a good chance that they were going to let Long Chen borrow some Demons to help him along the way.

"You are right. We can't give you Demons," The Demon General nodded. "If we send them with you to the God Beast Realm, it might initiate a war which we aren't interested in at this point. You understand?"

"However, we can certainly help you by opening a portal and allowing you to get there."

"That shall be enough," Long Chen nodded, slightly disappointed that he wasn't going to get Demons to help him. But it didn't matter anyway. He was just taking a chance with it. At least they were opening a portal.

"Good. Stay where you are. I will consult His Majesty. After we have his permission, I will send you to the God Beast Realm!'

The voice disappeared, and so did the frightening aura. Long Chen sighed a breath of relief. Fortunately, things had gone according to plan, and these people didn't doubt him much. He was closer to initiating his plan.

"Good work," the Immortal Queen smiled as she looked at Long Chen.

"What else did you expect?" Long Chen smiled in return. "Now, we will soon be there to stop him. His days are numbered!'

Back at the tomb in the White Tiger Realm, Long Chen still had no idea what was happening behind his back. He was still trying to get to the depths of the Tomb.

He had been walking for hours yet he hadn't seen the end of the hallway. So far, he hadn't seen any traps either.

Sometimes he even wondered if he had been walking in circles? He couldn't prove this notion though. He hadn't seen the poem after the first time, after all.

"Where is the exit? Just how long is this place?" Long Chen asked, frowning.

"I have no idea. I think we've walked a lot. That end doesn't seem in sight. Maybe we are really going in the wrong direction? Maybe we should've taken the left instead," Xun answered, frowning.

Unfortunately, even she was wrong. The White Tiger King, who had selected the left, went through the same phenomena. He had been walking since the beginning, and even now, he was still in the hallway. He hadn't reached the end of it. The same conversation was also taking place here where people were asking if they should've taken the right.

After a long time, Long Chen stopped. He sat down and sighed. "I doubt we would reach the end like this. We need to find another way."

"What else can we do? We can only keep walking and hope to find an exit," Xun answered.

"Or we can take some drastic steps," Long Chen replied as he looked at the Spirit Lines above his head. "These Spirit Lines convey power to each section of the Dungeon, right?"

"Yeah, what about it?" Xun asked, frowning. What was he trying to say?

"If this hallway is indeed a trap, this trap is certainly being powered by these Spirit Lines." Long Chen pulled out his King's Sword.

"Wait! Are you trying to say that you will destroy the Spirit Lines?"Xun asked, shocked. "These Spirit Lines might also be the ones keeping Tian Shen asleep. You shouldn't destroy them."

"Not entirely," Long Chen answered. "I'll just damage some of it, so that gets weakened. I'm sure when the Spirit Lines are weakened, they can't bring energy to this part of the time. As for Tian Shen, he is most probably in the core of the Tomb. If these Spirit Lines here are damaged, he won't be affected since he would most probably be above the Power Source if I'm not wrong."

"That does make sense." Long Tian agreed with Long Chen's assessment. "If this can help us get out of this place, then this is worth trying."

"Exactly." Long Chen had already decided what he was going to do. He swung the King's Sword towards the Spirit Lines.

"Bang!"

The spirit Lines were hit by the sword. However, the Spirit Lines suffered no damage. Instead, the energy blast sent Long Chen flying back, who crashed into the wall on the other side.

At the same time, in another place, White Tiger Princess noticed that Spirit Lines flicker momentarily. She couldn't help but think of the same thing that Long Chen thought. There was no way someone would make this long hallway. It was most probably a trap.

She looked at her father. "Father, can you attack these Spirit Lines? I want to test something."

Unlike Long Chen, the White Tiger King was the epitome of strength. His right hand transformed into claws which he swung at the Spirit Lines. He didn't even question his daughter one time. He was sure that there was some reasoning if she was asking him to do it.

His claws hit the Spirit Lines. Another explosion took place, but the outcome was different than what happened with Long Chen. The White Tiger King wasn't tossed back. Instead, it was the Spirit Lines that were hurt.

Xun ran to Long Chen and helped him up. "Are you alright? The Spirit Lines are very strong. I don't think you can break it without the Sword of Time, but it can't use that. So it's impossible."

Long Chen looked at the bright Spirit Lines, frowning. These were really strong. Was there no way to destroy them?

Just as he was thinking, a few Spirit Lines suddenly disappeared.

"What just happened? Did my attack ultimately work?" Long Chen asked, confused.

"I don't think so. The attack shouldn't have worked so late. If it were going to destroy the Spirit Lines, it would've done immediately," Xun explained.

"Then... How did it happen?"

"Someone did it... Someone who isn't us..." Xun grimly stated. "They must be inside the Tomb as well.'
