Rise of the Demon God

Chapter 1468 1468: Damage

Leaving one Prison, he was stuck in another. However, he was still happy that at least he was alive. If he was unconscious, he could’ve easily died.

One month ago~

Long Chen lost his consciousness in the middle of the Bloodline Temple, not knowing what had happened to him after that. 

For an unknown amount of time, he felt like he was just floating in endless space. He couldn’t even open his eyes. 

He felt like he spent an eternity there. It was only after a long time when he heard another voice. 

A calm voice fell in his ears, “Wake up.”

He felt a cold hand touch his forehead. 

He slowly opened his eyes to see his own face become him. 

”You?”

”You forgot me so soon?” Long Tian asked, chuckling. 

”Long Tian? Am I in the bloodline temple again? Does that mean my body is in someone else’s control again?”

”Not really. It’s more complicated than that,” Long Tian said, shaking his head. 

”I took the help like last time to protect you from the Rainbow Phoenix. However, it was only for a short time. We helped you escape that space and helped you survive but that wasn’t all.”

”As I said, that soul was already tired after the last battle and hadn’t recovered fully. Moreover, the barrier of the Rainbow Phoenix was strong. Even though he got you out of that place, you’re still not safe.”

”That’s why I waited for you to gain consciousness before sending your soul back.”

”You can be straight with me. Tell me where I am?” Long Chen asked. “And what danger am I in? If my soul is here, where is my body?”

”Your body is floating in the chaotic space,” Long Tian said, sighing. “And you don’t have a way out of here. That space is between two spaces.”

”I’m confused. I don’t know what you’re trying to say. Do you mean that I used teleportation but before I could come out of the spatial crack, It closed and I’m stuck in the Spatial Path?”

”It’s somewhat close but a bit more complicated. Just know that we had no choice. To save you, it was important. To do this, he…”

Long Tian looked up, sighing. “Your Martial Soul is damaged now. You… I don’t know what to tell you, but it’s not good news. It’s like you’ve used your last card as well, but even then, your soul is damaged.”

”So in the future… You need to heal it before you can have any big battles. If your Martial Soul is completely destroyed, you’ll lose all your cultivation so you need to be careful what you do from here on.”

”That’s what I wanted to tell you. That’s why I kept your soul back.”

Long Chen stood up, frowning. “Perfect. Just what I needed at this time! That Rainbow Phoenix just had to appear now! I knew I wasn’t ready to face it! I didn’t even get the opportunity to tame it!”

”Tame it?” Long Tian repeated, shaking his head. “You aren’t strong enough to do that. Moreover, even if you were strong, you couldn’t have tamed her.”

”You mean my bloodline failed before her?”

”It’s not that your bloodline failed before her. It’s just that her bloodline is something which is no less than yours. I don’t know if I should tell you or but… You can never tame her unless you truly reach the peak where the real master of this bloodline was.”

”And even then, you could only have a tiny possibility of doing this. Whatever, that’s not the topic right now. The topic is about you and how you can get out of that chaotic space with a damaged and weakened martial Soul.”

”How can I do it then? Can I use my Law of Space to get out?”

”Law of Space? You can use it, but it’ll damage your soul even further. So don’t try it.”

”Why will it affect my Martial Soul? I don’t use it. I only need to use my Law of Space Tree in my Martial Soul. It shouldn’t affect it then.”

”What do you think connects you to your Martial Space? It’s your Martial Soul. It’s the link. That’s why Martial Soul is important. Even if you take energy from Martial Space, it’s sent to you with the help of Martial Soul. So it puts some burden on it.”

”And at this time, putting a burden on your soul is like risking more for less. You can still help your Martial Soul now as the damage isn’t too much, but more pressure on it and the damage can increase. And if your Martial Soul is destroyed completely, you’ll be even more helpless.”

”So my only advice to you will be that you don’t use your Laws. Only use your Qi and the skills you’ve learned. If you use laws before healing your Martial Soul, you’ll be digging your own grave.”

”Without using Laws, how can I get out of this Chaotic Space? I don’t have any spatial skills that I can use. And I don’t have a spatial treasure like Zhu Chang had which could open portals. So how? Do I need to wait here until I heal my soul?”

”Even if you wait here, you won’t heal your Martial Soul. For that, you need the Soul Essence of White Tigers who are known for such medicines. These are low-grade medicines for them that you can find anywhere in the White Tiger Realm.”

”They generally use it for increasing their soul strength. However, for you, it can work as a healing medicine. However, you’ll need a large quantity of it to help yourself. In short, without that, you can’t heal your Martial Soul.”

” It doesn’t matter if you spend a day here or a thousand days. Your Martial Soul won’t heal even a tiny bit,” Long Tian explained. 

”So I can’t stay here. And without using my laws, I can’t leave this place either. It sounds like a loop. Can I use my Sword of Time? It has the abilities of space, right?”Long Chen asked. 

”It does have the abilities of space, but you don’t know how to control it entirely. And with the condition of your soul right now, I doubt you’ll be able to control it. You’ll be overwhelmed,” Long Tian responded, shaking his head. 

”I can’t use that either?! So what do I do? I’m getting a headache.” Long Chen again sat down. “Tell me when you find a way. I’m all out of ideas now.”

”There is one idea I have but it’ll be dangerous to execute,” Long Tian said, scratching the back of his forehead.
