Chapter 2989 – The Door Towards Death and the Door Towards Life

“Such terrifying flames. This Jiang Chen is definitely strong.” Sheng Kun now looked highly upon Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen protected the team within the Five Elemental Trigram Fire Formation.The beasts received a tremendous wound when they rammed themselves upon the formation. They tried to break through it but to no avail. Sheng Kun was impressed by Jiang Chen’s power as he would’ve been pushed back if it was him.

However, Jiang Chen was in fact feeling tremendous pressure as countless Late Divine Kings attacked the Five Elemental Trigram Fire Formation with a kamikaze-like vigor, causing the formation to be damaged but he still managed to hold it. For now.

“Brother Jiang, how long can you hold it?” Sheng Kun asked.

“I can still hold it for a while without a problem,” answered Jiang Chen.

“Very well, us three will assist Instructor Yang and Chi. Their situation is not great.” Sheng Kun said as he and Jiang Chen looked at each other.

Jiang Chen controlled the Five Elemental Trigram Fire Formation and caused fire pillars to erupt, killing one third of the snow beasts. However, he was panting as the Five Elemental Trigram Fire Formation placed a heavy toll on him, anyone else couldn’t have lasted this long.

Jiang Chen created a path for the trio to break through and assist the instructors.

Whereby Jiang Chen faced the 300 or so beasts alone.

“Bunch of stubborn fellas.” Jiang Chen squinted his eyes.

He did not unleash his full strength earlier, after all just a single flame alone had shocked the others. Now, he unleashed the full might of the five divine flames to annihilate the snow beasts. His flame attribute overpowered the snow attribute of the beasts. Jiang Chen wouldn’t have been able to finish them this easily if they were at any other place.

“Instructor Chi, Instructor Yang! We’ll assist you!”

The trio’s assistance managed to take off some pressure for the instructors. They were happy but they did not see Jiang Chen, when they looked back, they saw Jiang Chen stepping upon the corpses of hundreds of beasts while he finished the final beast before him.

That Hierarch beast was extremely angered.

“All of you shall die.”

The snow beasts leapt upon its enemies, and the instructors managed to hold their ground with the help of the trio. That Hierarch beast did its best to deal a decisive blow but could not do so as Jiang Chen had annihilated the remaining beasts on its side.

“This… this… this is impossible!” The leading snow beast exclaimed after seeing so many of its kin getting killed by Jiang Chen.

“Retreat!” The leading beast shouted as he sounded the horn of retreat.

The instructors let out a sigh of relief and then they looked at Jiang Chen with shock. Sheng Kun could only sigh in awe from Jiang Chen’s feat.

“Number one of the outer-palace, truly worthy of his title. I now understand why he has the strength to overpower Yue Changzhi.” Sheng Bing murmured with a heavy expression.

“Although he’s just a Peak Divine King, I probably could not defeat him in a life and death battle.” Sheng Kun muttered quietly.

Li Chuang could’ve died if it wasn’t for Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen was the biggest contributor in pushing those beasts back.

The instructors were relieved that the danger had finally passed.

“Let’s get out of this place quickly.” Chi Haifei said.

Although they managed to push them back, there’s no guarantee that they would not come back again. The retaliation could be greater than before.

“Alright, however, will the Third Elder come for us? Since we broke the jade plaque.” Sheng Bing worriedly said.

“We’ll have to look for shelter to avoid those beasts. Otherwise, we won’t be able to last until any reinforcement comes for us.” Yang Xikuan shook his head.

“There’s no need to go any further.” Jiang Chen said.

“Why?” Sheng Kun asked.

“If I’m right… the entrance is right over here.” Jiang Chen pointed towards the mountain just before them.

“Are you sure? It’s not how the elder describes it though? That’s not three mountains, it’s nine.” Chi Haifei said, confused.

“Three mountains as the mark. It’s about the door of life, there are nine dragons absorbing the water over here, it’s the door of death. We can enter the place through this path.” Jiang Chen said.

“Door of death? Would it be a deathly trap left behind by the Great Emperor? ” Li Chuang said worriedly.

“The door of death does not mean that, it means that those who exit through this path will face certain death. However, if you enter through this path, it’s the same as entering through the door of life. That’s my hypothesis, there should be more than one entrance for this tomb. There are probably nine entrances.” Jiang Chen said with a solemn expression.

“Nine doors? The tomb of a Great Emperor wouldn’t want anyone to disturb his resting place, why would he erect so many doors? ” Yang Xikuan did not agree with Jiang Chen’s point.

“I’ve said it before, the place where dragons gather is also a place of great danger. However, since the entrance is over here, why should we look any further?” Jiang Chen said.

“You’re also right, there’s no problem if the Third Elder does not come, and if he does, he’ll be able to locate the entrance.” Chi Haifei pondered.

“Lead the way, let me see what’s the difference between the entrances, I don’t quite believe it. Could the Great Emperor not see what bad omen this place could be and bury his remains here?” Yang Xikuan said with a laugh.

Jiang Chen did not speak further, although he had found the entrance, he was also nervous. His hypothesis was true, the land of dragons gathering was real, a place of great danger, life and eath, intertwined together. One misstep and death shall follow.
